When we say “restoration,” we mean “replace everything except for some bow chocks.”

“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good.”

We are free. We are Neverlandians and tonight we drink! – Peter Pan

I haven’t seen it mentioned, but I love that Wendy’s wielding a portal gun.

This show is so good.

It reminds me of rachelkiley‘s episodes in the early days of LBD. They were so smart, so fun, with so many layers of meaning and humor and observation. It really brought home to me that when you are engaging with a fictional world you are inhabiting the writer’s imagination, and some writers’ imaginations are more exciting, interesting places to inhabit.

It’s not just about craft. It’s about how they see the world.

“

The issue we resolve today is a divisive one. Some of our citizens are made deeply uncomfortable by the notion of same-sex marriage. However, that same-sex marriage causes discomfort in some does not make its prohibition constitutional. Nor can past tradition trump the bedrock constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection. Were that not so, our would still be a racially segregated nation according to the now rightfully discarded doctrine of ‘separate but equal.’

…In the sixty years since Brown [v. Board of Education] was decided, ‘separate’ has thankfully faded into history, and only ‘equal’ remains. Similarly, in future generations the label same-sex marriage will be abandoned, to be replaced simply by marriage.

Many thanks and congrats to those eagle-eyed fans who were able to spot Pemberley Digital-related stuff on Wendy’s shelves from my last post.  I’ve circled the things that crossed over — most of them were things that belonged to me personally, so you’re all just learning the terrible secret that, when I can, I just steal set dressing from myself.

• The elephant on Wendy’s shelf was indeed the elephant Bing Lee gave to Jane (via Lizzie) in Episode 29 of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.  That elephant is one of my stuffed animals and has a lion friend as well that nearly made an appearance in both series.  The bear sitting next to our elephant friend was also nearly on Lizzie’s shelf — in fact, he sat on her shelf through the first eight episodes, but no one could see him.
  
• These black and white canisters were part of the (fictional) Pemberley Digital set.  They were in the background in the two main angles and I *think* there was one that ended up off-screen in Gigi’s Domino videos recorded in her office at Pemberley Digital.  
• The Anne Fadiman books (which are some of my absolute favorites — read them!) were also in multiple places in Lizzie’s office and were what she put into her bag in episode 84.  All of the books on Wendy’s shelves are mine.  I pretty much grabbed the books I love best and put them on her shelf, because why not have a character I like have my taste in books?
• That little yellow potted plant made it’s way into one block of Emma Approved episodes only to wander away again the next month.  It’s another thing I stole from myself to add something new to Emma’s space.  Emma’s office has more change in it than any other Pemberley Digital set.  The theory has always that Emma’s always rearranging the stuff in her office — and more than any other character — has the money to buy new things on a whim.
• The subtlest nod to Pemberley Digital and Welcome to Sanditon was using one of the pillows from Gigi Darcy’s room at the Sanditon House B&B in Wendy’s room.  Those pillows (and almost all of Gigi’s bedding) ended up as my bedding, so with such easy access to a pillow that perfectly matched my color scheme for Wendy’s room, I couldn’t resist grabbing it.

More behind the scenes goodness from Katie!
