The number of mirrors in this hotel bathroom is giving me Sir Walter Elliot vibes.

I could see *five* of myself from the shower.

This scene is basically just the Darcy and Elizabeth dancing at Netherfield scene except they've got swords

The Last Legion (2007)

this is a poll for a movie that doesn't exist.

it is vintage times. the old hollywood studios, captivated by the electorate's previous casting of cinema classic dracula, have decided to celebrate jane austen's 250th by releasing an all-new vintage motion picture extravaganza based on her celebrated romance pride and prejudice. whoever is cast will impact the picture's tone and genre, so they are counting on you, the electorate, to deliver cinema magic.

you are the casting director for this star-studded epic. choose your players wisely.

This is one of many polls that will gradually drop over the next few weeks. You can find all the P&P polls under #pride and prejudice casting. If you need a reminder on who's who, here's the Wikipedia page listing the cast of characters. Thank you to everyone who suggested actresses for this poll!

My 7yo came up behind me with my laptop open to Tumblr. There was a gif of Colin Firth partially visible, but only the top half of his head. 7yo asked what it was, I tried to brush him off just because I didn't think it would be something he'd be interested in, and he said, "But that's Mr. Darcy isn't it?"

Mr. Darcy!

From seeing just the top of Colin Firth's head!

From a different movie!

I've never been a prouder mother.

How every Austen hero sucks at dating:

Darcy: basically tells his girl that he’s too good for her while proposing

Bingley: ghosts his true love for several months because his friend and sisters told him to

Knightley: scolds and argues with his girl constantly

Wentworth: revenge flirts with a random girl because he’s too dumb to see that he still loves his first girl

Edward: flirts with his girl when he’s already engaged to another girl

Brandon: falls in love at first sight and proceeds to basically never talk to his girl, just her sister

Edmund: thinks he loves a girl who is all wrong for him just because she’s hot, while ignoring the much better girl right under his nose

Tilney:

If there's one thing Mr. Darcy is gonna do, it's give himself whiplash. 🙂‍↔️

Mr. Darcy is devastatingly cute in his coat

This has been the most rewarding use of a Sunday afternoon.

When inspiration says, "let's make something silly," yes and that impulse.

[Emma] lost no time in hurrying into the shrubbery.—There, with spirits freshened, and thoughts a little relieved, she had taken a few turns, when she saw Mr. Knightley passing through the garden door, and coming towards her… She had been thinking of him the moment before, as unquestionably sixteen miles distant.—There was time only for the quickest arrangement of mind. She must be collected and calm.

– Jane Austen, Emma, Volume III, Chapter XIII

Hello there!

I am an 18+ writer looking for an original plot! I am looking for a partner to roleplay a Regency plot. I am looking for something a little specific! My oc is a native american, so i want someone to write against her in a type of forbidden pairing, we can absolutely chat about that more! I would love to have ATJ from Nosferatu as a face claim for her partner. I mostly write on discord so if you’d be interested please like or reblog and i’ll get back to you!

i do write for attention, actually, because that's a normal reason to create art

I've said it before, but I reread Emma, so I'm saying it again.

George Knightley is THE Austen Hero. He is kind, compassionate, never condescends. He is so nice that not once, but TWICE, he is mistaken for being in love when he's not. He may be strict and rational, but he isn't cold. He plays with his nieces and nephews and helps keep the peace between family members. He calls Emma out, but only because he wants to help her be the best possible version of herself. He moves into Hartfield at the end, something completely unheard of in those days, because he knows Emma would never leave her father and he would never ask her to.

He is just. The Peak.

so i listened to the batb soundtrack again and i have a crazy theory. i think.

BELLE AND GASTON ARE MUSICAL PARALLELS I SWEAR TO GOD I'M NOT CRAZY

ok so hear me out. belle and gaston both get self titled songs where other characters mainly sing about them and how they view them, and both songs are the only songs on the soundtrack to have vocal reprises where they sing about what they really want/their true intentions (not counting the credits song, as that's just a cover)

i believe this is not just a way of spotlighting both characters in their respective songs, but also contrasting both characters in respect to their position in society and gendered expectations

belle doesn't fit the mold of a typical woman in the village, and is ostracized for it, meanwhile gaston is the epitome of masculinity, the very image of an ideal man and is praised for it! IT'S ALL ABOUT SOCIETAL EXPECTATIONS BAYBEE

mannnn i love the writing in this movie
