9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver ok so I say it's set in the Edwardian era but in the timeline I've established they'reactually born in like 1902


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver so they're children in the Edwardian era. Anyway they're farmhands in the Britishcountryside. Idk which part. The south


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver I learned that due to educational reforms in the late 1800s they actually would'vetotally gone to school instead of being


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver child labourers in the farm so that's good. Anyway it starts when they're children.Ariel is born out of wedlock to a young

9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver Irish mother and her father was an upper class Filipino academic from Spain whoknocked this girl up. Great I know


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver her mother dies when she is 8 years old so she's taken in by Wanda's farmhandfamily and whoa there's an old man walking


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver towards me who looks exactly like Bernie Sanders. Amazing


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver he looked exactly like Bernie Sanders!!! I was actually like wtf is Bernie doing herebut it happened to fast to take a pic


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver ANYWAY where was I in farmhand AU. Oh right, they grow up together in the farm.They're young teens during WWI so yknow


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver tumultuous change and stuff. Wanda is a gregarious, fun young woman known forher potato beauty. She likes art and dreams of








































9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver marrying up. Ariel likes science and math and luckily she finds a schoolteacher whogives her access to books and stuff


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver because otherwise as a girl she would've had to take home ec or whatever past theage of 12. I think


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver she wants to take an exam to get a public scholarship (not actually sure if thiswould've been possible for her as a woman but)





















LESBIAN WANDA @LUISAALVER · 9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver I'm gonna switch to script format now. pic.twitter.com/UY3rOeqBcq


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver anyway to continue: it's important in the Farmhand AU story that they don'tunderstand each other some of the time. not in a


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver combative dysfunctional way but just enough for it to be a source of frictionoccasionally. 'Imagine Your OTP' you know






https://t.co/UY3rOeqBcq
















9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver anyway ok so Wanda's like flirting with some random farm boy but she's like "wellhe's not rich I don't wanna marry him"


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver "it's just fun :)" and Ariel's like "literally grow up WWI just finished" or whatever butactually she's a bit jealous


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver of course she doesn't understand because it's 1919. Anyway while that's going onshe takes the exam to get a public scholarship


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver so a letter arrives and either she gets the scholarship but I'm not sure if that'spossible. Either way someone is willing to


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver fund her education and allow her to go to a university prep school or whateverbecause she's a Genius (don't @ me)


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver so then Ariel gets the letter that she's going to London in a month and during thistime Wanda continues aggressively flirting








































9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver with some farm boys as much as a 17yearold from 1919 can get away with. AndAriel's just like "what's wrong with you" and


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver one night they have a fight that ends with Wanda throwing their shared scrapbookof places they want to see into a fire


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver WANDA: you're just going to leave ARIEL: I thought you've always wanted to getaway too. You've always said you wanted more,


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver WANDA: ya I just didn't think you'd leave first. Or idk I thought we'd leave togethersomehow ARIEL: what WANDA: idk whatever


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver also around this time Wanda encounters Curdlesnoot Sr for the first time in town.He's like an upper middle class 16 yo


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver but nothing happens there because he's 16 and she's 17 it's just to introduce thecharacter.








































9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver anyway after the fight things continue to be somewhat tense and Wanda apologizesfor burning the scrapbook


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver but otherwise they don't speak of it. The date for Ariel's departure grows closer


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver finally it's the night before she leaves for London and it coincides with some likebarn party. Idfk what people did in the


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver countryside did in 1919. I guess there's fiddle music and dancing. Ariel leaves for abit and goes to her favourite secluded


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver spot which is like an abandoned barn or whatever the fuck just to get away fromsocializing for a bit. Also she's been kind of


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver because she heard rumours that the farm boy was gonna propose to Wanda thatnight








































9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver suddenly Wanda shows up at the abandoned barn, they do the whole "I knew I'dfind you here" dialogue and watch the stars


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver ARIEL: where's Farm Boy WANDA: what? Idk ARIEL: I heard he was going to...WANDA: propose? Yeah ik fuckin ridic right


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver ARIEL: you said no? WANDA: of course I said no I mean he's so ARIEL: right yeahhe's not rich and can't give you what u deserve


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver Wanda gets kind of by this because she thought Ariel was criticizing her for beingmaterialistic. Which she is for sure


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver WANDA: alright I didn't come here to get dragged ok ARIEL: sorry I didn't mean itlike that I just meant u deserve s/t better


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver [they move closer to each other] ARIEL: u deserve someone who will whisk u off urfeet, someone with who will provide for u

@luisaalver as I said before Ariel graduates and moved to America as a research scientist,although she moves back to the UK around 1935


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver they lose touch completely because it's Too Painful but also because Wanda's sisterwho saw them is like

@luisaalver they're used to air raids at this point so they're just sombrely like "hi what's up" andhe notices still holding hands

9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver " for an air raid lol. Who's your friend" Wanda still looks terrified (she has propertyin London but she mostly lives in

@luisaalver Ariel's just like "uhhh this is... Wanda Cumberbatch." and Rupert says hi butWanda is still very








































9 DAYS AGO

9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver a visit back in the farm but WANDA'S SISTER is like "maybe it's best that you don'tsee her" and Ariel is just like "I agree"


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver "I'm gay and awful and that'd be bad for her" I change my mind about Wanda'ssister intercepting letters,


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver Ariel actually did ghost her bc she didn't want Wanda to be gay. But also Wanda'ssister was like "she's being courted by Tim"


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver "and he's rich, so if you want what's best for her..." and Ariel's like "yeah true beinggay is bad she should b in het rship"


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver even though Wanda didn't wanna be with him at first because she was depressedafter the train station scene. Anyway


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver I'm not really sure how all this will be revealed. Maybe through brief flashbacks andsome dialogue at the bomb shelter








































9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver I don't want Wanda's sister to be like caricature Hallmark movie homophobeobviously it would've just made sense that she'd be


9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver ??????? confused and skeeved out that her sister is being gay in 1919.

9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver obviously. She tries to make it sound as nonchalant as possible ("oh we just losttouch you know") but she is also

@luisaalver RUPERT: [thinking to himself] wow Wanda is like very gay. They're in Iove but idkwhatever this isn't the best time

9 DAYS AGO

@luisaalver Ariel stands on the platform, the way Wanda did in 1919. The same angle andeverything (cinematography is important)

@luisaalver Ariel is standing still, heavy with emotions but trying not to let them show.
