Well friends we're finally here, to the infamous events of Blackstone Edge and Scarbo', that would come to influence the rest of Anniana's relationship as we know it. We wanted more context around that memorable argument between Anne and Mariana in the gig in episode 7, and we finally have it. What did she say?? What did she do? Spoiler alert: too goddamn much, but thanks to a few inspired cameos from our other favorite learned queer Miss Pickford, it's not all bad times.

Hey ho! It's been 84 years, but we're finally back with the second half of this ridiculous 8 part saga! In this fifth chapter of the #HistoricalNightcap, we dive into year 1822 where Anne not only spent a great deal of time with and thinking about Mariana, but also with our favorite Georgian era drinker, Isabella Norcliffe. Love is complicated, and nothing about that changes in the year 1822. We also cover Anne visiting the Ladies of Llangollen and what it was like for her to experience "gay representation" for the first time. The lovely Miss Pickford also makes a cameo and Anne allows mans work to stir her desire for bad woman. If you're not drinking already, you may want to start as we continue on our journey of the bombastic grubble melodrama that is Anne Lister and Mariana Lawton.To help keep ourselves organized, we've included a detailed chapter list below with time stamps and dates for each entry referenced, and as always, we love to hear from you.
