Darcy Palmer

Alias: Dark Pronouns: He/Him Identity: Cisgender Man; Bisexual Aromantic Ethnicity: Asian [Korean] Species: Human-Monster Hybrid [Shadowling] Height: 5'11" [156 cm] 0ccupation: Head 0f A Modeling/Hitman Agency Family: None That Matter

Darcy Palmer is a ruthless, cold-hearted man. He runs a hitman agency that Gardenia was using to try to kill her daughter, Amy Lindsay. Despite this, Amy got recruited by him [under the threat of death], and ended up one of his top employees. He's currently leading her on to believe that they're in some sort of relationship, purely so he can easily manipulate her and use her in any way he so pleases. He's done reprehensible things to Amy, and makes her think they're completely normal.

Darcy wouldn't even advocate for monster rights if you paid him to. The lack of any rights [and subsequent systematic oppression] for monsterkind makes more of them flock to illegal jobs, so why would he want that to stop? He's even had surgeries to flatten his teeth and takes a human form so he's not subject to the prejudice he perpetuates.

"   I   know   we   haven't   seen   each   other   in   over   a   decade,   but   you   can   tell   me   anything,   you   know   that   right?   I'm   still   the   same   friend   from   years   ago,   "   Darcy   says.

Helene   gives   him   a   little   smile   in   appreciation   before   dropping   her   gaze   for   just   a   moment,   so   she   can   prepare   herself   to   tell   him   exactly   what   has   been   going   on.   It's   been   almost   four   years   now   since   she   ended   things   with   Joel,   but   the   memory   of   their   time   together   was   pretty   fresh   in   her   mind   on   the   daily.

"   It's   not   just   a   five   minute   conversation,   Darcy,   this   is   gonna   take   all   afternoon,   "   she   chuckles,   though   the   pain   is   hiding   behind   her   eyes.

As   soon   as   he   catches   sight   of   a   glimpse   of   sorrow   within   her   expression,   he   moves   over   to   the   counter   and   flips   the   kettle   on   to   boil   it   and   make   them   both   a   nice,   warm   drink.   He   usually   goes   with   tea   because   most   people   don't   mind   it   and   in   fact   end   up   preferring   it   if   they   aren't   in   the   best   of   spirits,   so   that   is   what   he   places   into   the   mugs.

"   Do   you   take   sugar?   "   he   asks,   laughing   the   moment   she   scowls   at   the   thought   of   it.   "   I'm   guessing   that's   a   no   then.   I   have   mine   with   two   sugars   still,   just   like   when   we   were   kids.   "

"   I   haven't   had   sugar   in   my   tea   since   I   was   about   14.   I   don't   know   what   happened,   but   one   day   I   just   tried   it   without   sugar   and   now   I   can't   stand   the   taste   of   it   if   it's   in   there,   "   she   thinks   back   on   that   time   for   a   minute   as   the   memories   flood   on   in.

"   Yea..   no,   don't   think   I   could   do   that.   If   there's   nothing   sweet   in   there,   I   don't   want   it,   "   he   says,   pouring   the   water   into   the   mugs   so   the   tea   can   brew   for   a   little   while.

Helene   lets   out   a   soft   little   puff   of   air   as   she   sits   herself   at   the   kitchen   table,   glancing   outside   and   feeling   the   rays   of   sunshine   burst   through   the   windows.   The   flowers   in   his   garden   seem   to   be   gently   swaying   in   a   light   breeze   and   suddenly,   she   smiles.   The   fact   that   he   has   such   a   well   groomed   and   protected   flower   garden   makes   her   happy.

"   How   long   have   you   been   keeping   this   garden   so   perfect?   "   she   asks,   accepting   the   mug   of   tea   and   offered   digestive   biscuit   with   a   warm   smile.

"   Only   since   I   got   back   here,   but   I've   never   missed   a   day   of   tending   to   them.   I'd   imagine   my   Gran   would   kill   me   if   I   allowed   a   day   to   go   by,   "   he   laughs,   sipping   his   tea.

Darcy   had   been   living   in   Chester   for   the   last   12   years,   but   thoughts   of   home   had   brought   him   back   just   under   two   years   ago   and   he   was   now   living   in   his   Grandmothers   bungalow   about   a   20   minute   drive   from   where   they   had   all   grown   up   as   kids.   They   just   happened   to   pass   by   one   another   while   they   were   both   out   shopping   in   Hoylake   today.

"   I   remember   your   Gran   so   well..   she   used   to   send   me   back   home   at   the   end   of   the   day   with   a   little   bottle   of   apple   juice   and   a   freshly   baked   scone,   "   she   says,   smiling.

Helene   reached   her   hand   across   the   table   and   grasped   his   own,   squeezing   it   gently   to   let   him   know   that   she   understands   such   a   loss,   because   her   own   Grandmother   had   passed   a   few   years   prior   as   well.   The   memory   of   their   childhood   came   racing   back   in   that   moment   and   she   sighed,   but   it   was   a   much   happier   sounding   sigh   than   the   one   before.

"   I   haven't   forgotten,   you   know..   don't   think   you   can   get   away   with   telling   me   all   the   details   by   starting   a   different   topic   of   conversation,   "   Darcy   grins,   sipping   his   tea.

"   Fine,   but   I   promise   you..   you're   not   gonna   be   happy   about   it,   "   she   says,   eyes   lifting   to   meet   his   own   after   he   takes   a   bite   of   the   digestive   biscuit   after   dunking   it   in   the   tea.

"   I'm   willing   to   take   that   risk,   Starling,   "   his   grin   is   still   plastered   on   his   face,   because   he   thinks   this   is   just   going   to   be   some   mild   situation,   not   at   all   prepared   for   the   worst.

Darcy   bristled   almost   immediately   upon   hearing   the   name   Joel,   paired   with   the   word   abuse,   which   Helene   did   notice   but   elected   to   ignore   as   she   further   explained   everything   that   had   happened   over   the   course   of   their   three   year   relationship.   

It   seemed   that   the   male   sitting   across   from   her   was   gripping   his   mug   a   little   too   tightly   between   both   hands,   which   she   did   offer   some   relief   from   in   the   form   of   a   sad,   understanding   smile.

Her   friend   was   absolutely   shaken   by   the   news   she   had   filled   him   in   on,   especially   now   that   he   knew   this   about   the   person   he   used   to   be   friends   with..   and   was   again,   for   the   past   year   and   a   half,   buddies   with   again.   

The   thought   alone   of   Joel   having   handled   Helene   in   such   a   way   made   his   blood   boil   and   he   would   be   lying   if   he   said   he   didn't   feel   like   putting   the   guys   head   through   a   wall   for   the   damage   he   had   caused.

"   Guess   I'll   be   paying   old   pal   Joel   a   visit   this   afternoon,   ay?   "   he   says,   downing   the   rest   of   his   cuppa   and   finishing   up   the   other   half   of   the   biscuit   before   making   a   grab   for   his   coat.

"   Darcy,   please   don't   do   that.   I   kept   it   from   family   and   friends   for   so   long   because   I   knew   that   everyone   would   have   the   same   reaction,   "   she   begged   him,   setting   her   tea   aside   and   tugging   on   the   back   of   his   coat   as   he   made   his   way   out   into   the   hallway.   "   Darcy,   please.   "

It   makes   him   pause   for   a   brief   moment,   weighing   the   options   in   front   of   him,   but   he   still   has   it   in   his   mind   to   at   the   very   least,   knock   the   son   of   a   bitch   onto   his   ass.   

The   anger   that   was   currently   racing   through   his   veins   made   it   very   difficult   to   even   conceive   of   any   other   option   at   this   point   and   he   turns   to   look   at   her,   shooting   a   sad   smile   her   way   but   letting   her   know   at   the   same   time   that   he   cannot   just   sit   idly   by   and   do   nothing.

And   then   off   he   went,   right   out   the   door.   This   wasn't   even   Helene's   house,   but   she   made   sure   to   stay   put   until   he   returned   from   his   rampage,   because   no   doubt,   he   was   going   to   need   someone   there   when   he   got   back   from   dealing   with   whatever   Joel   could   offer.

Selin didn't like the thought that after this, these hornets would just continue to live among them on this island. In the long run, there may be a possibility where they would all be able to coexist. It wasn't like the hornets actually attacked them unless provoked, maybe if the plan was to let these things continue to hover around and they were expected to share the space, they would become less aggressive than they had been. "I don't know." Selin answered, letting out a sigh, exasperated at the thought. "They've caused so much damage already, and they're so unpredictable. I'm worried that's exactly what the people in charge of this place want."

The talk of Lokni's resourcefulness in situations did put Selin at ease. Even though he wasn't even currently there, it was helpful in a way to know that they had someone like him around if things like this would be the new norm. "I'm very lucky. He's so calm and thoughtful but also isn't the type of person to hesitate to spring into action. He got me to the medcenter to get Akhila's help to get me out of my stupor." She couldn't help but gush, feeling like there might have been a different outcome to their situation if she had been with anyone else at the time. Even in his fear of witnessing her get stung and collapsing, he still had enough sense and willpower to take her to someone he knew was more capable. "But, yes. Long story short, he's great, and I'm glad he's here."

Darcy offered up her own makeshift weapon, and Selin nodded, grateful that she was willing to hand it over. If she was being completely honest, she wasn't even sure if she would be able to use the branch to fight the hornet off if it came down to it. She was still shaken up about the pain of the sting, the vision she saw of Tim in that pit or hornet tv heads, broken and bloody. Walking around empty handed wasn't exactly a better option, but knowing what happens when taking the offense didn't make her feel inclined to fight back.

The risk of shouting out for Beema was clear, but Selin didn't know what else to do. She could be anywhere at this point. Even if Beema didn't answer her calls, at least that in itself could be a clue of how close or far they were, or whether or not she was in danger. So she continued to call out for the lost woman, only stopping when she felt Darcy grab onto her and signal to stop. She immediately stopped part way through, following where Darcy was pointing and seeing the nearby hornet. A soft 'eep' escaped her lips and she quickly cover here mouth with both hands to suppress it. But through the darkness, the light of the staticky screen face was so clear, the image of Beema huddled up, looking scared, wherever she was.

"Let's hope that's where it's going." Selin whispered back, not sure what they might find but not wanting to pass up the potential opportunity. "As long as it's not heading back out to the beach. Did you see? A lot of them are by the medcenter just…digging. Don't know why though."

"Do you think they are sticking around?" Darcy couldn't help but ask. It's been something she's been thinking about since the first ones appeared, really, and the chance that the answer to it was a yes terrified her. "The smaller ones. This big one. Do you think they are just going to be part of our new normal now?" She assumed the tests were temporary, but what if the test was just saving Beema, and then going forward the robot hornets would just... stick around.

"It's nice, that Lokni was around and could help you. He is great in a crisis or shitty situations, from what I've seen so far," Darcy said, a guilty feeling creeping over her. Tej was bleeding so badly after that hornet sting, Selin fully fainted, it felt like their experiences were so much worse than her own - it was scary and painful for sure, but for the most part it was the shock of the hornet and nothing too badly lasting. Did it happen cause she actually was on such a good path on figuring things out, she got a little bit better treatment? She shook the thought away.

"Okay, no rocks it is - keeping it for myself then, but please at least take the branch. It's not much, but you are right, you shouldn't be here without anything," she offered, holding it out for Selin to take.

She wasn't quite sure if yelling out was the best idea - it could easily attract hornets or who knows what else. But they could also just pass up on Beema cause of the mist if they aren't careful even if they get close to it, so she didn't say anything, she just kept her eyes more open for anything that mgiht jump them. Hopefully nothing would sho--

A lone, smaller robot hornet from the left came buzzing - not directly towards them, just passing by in the same area and Darcy reached for Selin's arm, holding her finger in front of her lips and then pointing towards the hornet. Closer and closer it came, stopping about 30 feet from them, hovering for a while, looking around, and as it did, its screen shifted and Beema appeared, scared and looking around, a headshot taken from such closeness, but the woman wasn't looking at the screen/camera directly. "Beema, shit..." Darcy muttered, but then the hornet was moving again, passing them by without noticing them (hopefully), and Darcy had an idea. "Selin, we should follow it. As quiet as we can. See if it leads us to Beema."

[bethanydelleman]

To continue about Caroline Bingley's marriage prospects, many people tell me that no one would want her with that terrible disposition. Now I have a few things to say about that.

Firstly, we see Caroline at her worst in Pride & Prejudice, she is jealous of Elizabeth and angry that she lost Darcy to such a woman. However, when Caroline tries to be charming, she is, even Elizabeth finds her agreeable occasionally at Netherfield.

Secondly, Darcy likes Caroline's behaviour, that is why she does it. Jane Austen actually puts a lot of his thoughts in her mouth. We know Darcy is worried about the inferiority of Elizabeth's connections, Caroline quips that he can put a portrait of Mr. Phillips (the low class type of lawyer) beside his great uncle the judge. These are likely Darcy's own thoughts. And before he fell for Elizabeth, Darcy was happily insulting her and the whole family with Caroline (and Louisa). Caroline is basically a mirror for what Darcy thinks which seems to be what some men like (I assume).

But here is the more important point, some men want a woman like Caroline, someone ambitious. Marriage is a partnership and in many ways a financial/business one. For example, Thomas Palmer from Sense & Sensibility wants to be elected to parliament, Caroline Bingley would be all over that. She would schmooze her way across society all you wanted. Mr. Elliot from Persuasion went for wealth over ambition, but as a young barrister a wife like Caroline probably could have greatly helped his career since their money all came from referrals and connections.

Lucy Steele and Mary Crawford may not have been suited to their possible clergyman husbands, but would they have made them bishops if Edward and Edmund wanted that even slightly? I would bet real money on it. Mr. Collins is ambitious and he got the best wife he could have asked for. Charlotte is clearly on the campaign for his prospects, even going so far as to hope Darcy does like Elizabeth because he has patronage in the church.

Here is Lucy in full ambition mode by the way:

As for Colonel Brandon, she was not only ready to worship him as a saint, but was moreover truly anxious that he should be treated as one in all worldly concerns; anxious that his tithes should be raised to the utmost; and secretly resolved to avail herself, at Delaford, as far as she possibly could, of his servants, his carriage, his cows, and his poultry.

Robert Ferrars may occasionally fight with his wife, but I'm sure he loves that Lucy's wheedled her way into mommy's heart. They are both trying to get the biggest slice of inheritance possible and for a man like that, Elinor Dashwood or Fanny Price would be perfectly useless.

So I am sure Caroline would be a desirable asset to someone who is not an Austen hero, because building connections, charming the right people, and understanding how to acquire more wealth is not what Jane Austen's men (and women) are into, but the wider world certainly was.

Another Jane Austen crack poll

I did the poll on which Jane Austen character would most likely have a Tumblr blog and which you'd most like to follow, now let's do one on which would most likely be a "Disney Adult."

If you're not familiar with the term, it basically means an adult who is really into Disney stuff. That's it. They might go to the theme parks even without kids, cosplay as Disney characters, collect Disney merch, write Disney fanfic, etc.

Now listen. I do not use this term pejoratively. Do not be making fun of Disney Adults! Arguably, I'm one myself, and everyone has different interests, hobbies, and hyperfixations.

Please note also that if a character listed here is not technically an adult in canon, consider them to have aged to an adult for the purposes of this poll.

If you like, reblog and put in the tags how this character shows their Disney Adult-ness. Is Charlotte Palmer dragging her grumpy husband to Walt Disney World every two months? Is Catherine Morland writing vampire AU fanfic of Tangled? Does Fanny Price have an immaculate display of her Disney Funko Pop collection? Tell us!

Darcy Howard Palmer | Childhood friend of both Joel Benson and Helene Starling, but nothing even happened between Hel and Joel until their early 20's, so Darcy had no reason to concern himself with all the trouble. Helene and Darcy's friendship slipped away after their high school years, but in the aftermath of her abusive relationship with Joel, Darcy reconnected with him and they became friends. Darcy still knows nothing about his current best mates past relationship or the fact that Joel is an actual piece of shit to this day and somehow getting away with it.

( I'm writing a drabble at the moment about Hel bumping into Darcy again and with a lot of encouragement from him, spilling the beans about her ex, because I ignore Darcy as part of her backstory too much! and he's nice, even if he befriended Joel again years on from their little childhood friends era. I probably chose these gifs when I realised Darcy isn't going to be happy finding out his old friend is a jackass, lmao. )

The second of Jane Austen’s novels, first published in 1813, is the most often adapted, inspiring various different takes on it. The ones pictures above are detailed below:

Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)

This black and white film departs from the original novel in some (or should I say many?) points

Features 100 episodes in the International cut. The telenovela has been broadcast in other countries and languages (such as Spanish) but as far as I know, not in English.

Starring Tiffany Hines as Elizabeth Bennet, Juan Antonio as Will Darcy, Raney Branch as Jane Bennet, Brad James as Charles Bingley, Reginae Carter as Lydia Bennet, Carl Anthony Payne as Rev. Collins, among others.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

file (1)5-29-0812: character inspiration

thank you @willtheweaver for the tag!! the rule is to share some inspirations for the name/personality/design of a character! (originally it said to do more than 1, but i wanted to give all the attention to one new character)

i'll share some stuff about sunny from my new wip, school rules!

i didn’t take sunny’s name from any etymological concept, in fact it originally was planned to be a pseudonym since i didn’t want to come up with a surname haha (she has one now, it’s sunny finch). to get her name, i considered the name at face value, if that makes sense. a sunny day brings forth the image of happiness, brightness, and is generally a good thing.

but the sunny of school rules is anything but unassumingly bright and happy. while she is fairly cheerful and playful, the topics she discusses are violent and dark, and her casual (borderline aloof) demeanour towards those topics subvert the image that the word/name ‘sunny’ evokes.

her personality is similar to this idea. sunny is upbeat, she cracks jokes, and is hopelessly obsessed with famous nepo baby darcy spencer. i wanted to have fun designing her character, because so many of my other mcs from other wips are in dreary situations and react accordingly. i wanted a change of pace, so i wrote a character in an undeniably horrible situation, left to broadcast all the competition and suffering in her school for profit, but she’s able to have fun regardless.

i want her to have a kind of humour similar to mine to contrast the macabre setting and genre she’s in. i guess in that way she’s mostly inspired by me, with some tonal inspirations from characters like cecil palmer from wtnv (his vibes), the narrator from the stanley parable (his humour/delivery), and alastor from hazbin hotel (his sass).

since i don’t really describe character’s appearances (not intentionally, just a habit), and that wouldn’t fit in the first-person radio narration, sunny doesn’t have a concrete character design. i can’t describe exactly how i visualise her, but i picture her with dark hair and brown eyes, and kind of improper in presentation; think wearing the fancy, high society uniform incorrectly, awful posture, ‘hasn’t slept in three days but still energetic as ever’ energy, that kind of thing (@millipede333 i think you’d do a good job drawing her!).

that’s all for sunny, i think. school rules ep2 should be out sometime soon, too! thank you for reading!!
