Hi! My name is Ronny (they/then/theirs). This is my webseries/modernization blog. I specialize in geeking out over Jane Austen and Shakespeare. I also dabble in Oscar Wilde.

what she says: i’m fine
what she means: in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries Episode 21, Lizzie says that she wants to change the culture, and even though this was a meta reference to the ways that the source material, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, changed the culture of the time period, it is also an unknowing reference to the fact that TLBD would go on to inspire countless other webseries adaptations to create an entire new subgenre of adapting classical or even contemporary literature, so the subtle joke turned out to be a prediction for the future and I’m so proud I could cry oh too late

Lizzie: What's wrong with you?
Charlotte: Off the top of my head, I'd say low self-esteem, a lack of paternal affection, and a genetic predisposition to anxiety and depression.

how morally corrupt is your 19th century love interest on a scale of “aloof rich guy who doesn’t know how to express his feelings” to “has a secret wife in the attic” and “tries to dig up your grave so he can embrace your dead body”
