I think the two prophecy boys deserve each other<3           

they're so cute I swear. the chosen ones that see each other not for what society makes them into, but for what they truly are <3 bonding over losing their parents and growing up in abusive environments and finding comfort in friends and animals and they can grow into old men constantly trying to shield each other from the public eye whilst living in a secluded cottage together 

their interactions in books/movies are just cute idk

Inspired by the @captainsvscaptains tournament, I'm doing a single poll which is simply to pick the best captain that I post about on my tumblr. What's the criteria? Whatever the heck you want it to be.

Yeah I put Captain Swan on here even though it's a relationship not a character, sue me

So, I've been thinking about something the last couple of times I've engaged with the many flavoursof Persuasion.

They go on about how Cpt Benwick is so broken hearted etc, but I don't think anyone's ever like "hey, Harville. How are you doing since YOUR SISTER DIED??"

Is it because it doesn't suit the story?

Is it because siblings died all the time?

I just always feel so bad that they're talking about how sad Cpt Benny is TO Harville himself.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Thoughts: Chapters 38-42

Helen is plotting her escape, let's gooo!! But first, drama. I knew Lowborough would end up suicidal. The way Helen describes him struggling not to kill himself in the room the night after he discovers the adultery is bone-chilling. He's pretty serene all things considered, though. Forgives Helen fairly quickly for keeping him in the dark, turns out Hattersley's plot to "take care" of Huntington (lol), by the looks of it gives Annabella a generous alimony if she's able to keep partying in London. It made me sad that he's happy to keep his son but not his daughter (because she looks like her mother, I guess? idr what Annabella looks like) but the story is bleak enough as it is and unless I'm contradicted later I'm choosing to believe he gets over it for both of their sakes.

Hargrave... vindictive little scumbag. I'm so mad at myself for feeling bad for you. In a book full of hateable men it's impressive how quickly he made top of the list. I wanted to scream when Helen told him about her escape plans. For a second I thought he might help her... but of course not. I have to go back to the Gilbert parts and see if he calls Helen "his angel" because that's clearly a red flag (Huntington did it too, that much I remember). I hope he goes back to Paris and some french opera girl drains him of all his money.

Hattersley is all over the place in these chapters. Such a chaotic redemption arc. Offering Lowborough to be his fucking hitman (again, lol), defending Helen from Huntingdon when they think she's cheating with Hargrave (so many bloody H's in this book), encouraging Huntingdon to turn a new leaf while they ply his son with alcohol... I know he had that conversation with Helen about Millie not feeling anything a few chapters back, so it doesn't exactly come out of nowhere, and he loves his kids, and he's still a dick through his good moments (plying toddler Arthur with alcohol, calling Helen names even while defending her...), but it still feels sudden. And when did he start loving Millie to the point the idea of making her happy pushes him over the edge into reform? He only married her because she was a doormat, and he's been deluding himself into thinking she was dead inside (that or she has a poker face that would put Vegas out of business), and I know he's been strugggling with that, but still. I'm glad Millie gets a reformed husband by the end of this section, but wow. What a trip.

Huntingdon commitment to get worse is impressive. I was surprised he pawned Helen off to his friends. Again, I'd read Arthur wasn't phisically abusive, and it appears he never rapes her, but this sounds an awful lot like he's giving his friends leave to. I have a half-formed thought about how Huntingdon keeps making masculinity and power about viciousness. He's making a show out of corrupting little Arthur to hurt Helen, but I think he sincerely beleives it's making a man out of him, and if they were on better terms he'd be doing it covertly. "A Misadventure"... Hooly shit, if there was ever understatement. And a reason to title the following chapter "Hope Springs Eternal in the Human Breast"! If the book hadn't started after Helen made her escape it might have made me cry. The bitter, sinister delight Huntingdon takes in stripping Helen of every mean of escape, and how casually he's able to do it, how ties his masculinity to it... I don't understand how this book isn't better known. This should be taught at schools.

I hate the way nobody's allowed to talk about the abuse. I swear, this is 1984 with petticoats. Helen and Millie urging Esther to be careful who she chooses while insisting that they're happy themselves... It reframes all Helen's and Aunt Margaret's interactions from early in the diary, though Esther seems more receptive than Helen (thank god...). Helen trying (usuccesfully) to hide her unhappiness from Aunt Margaret is so sad. So is her guilt over giving her aunt grief in her old age. On brighter news, Frederick to the rescue! I knew something good would come of Huntingdon fucking off to London for half the year! I knew Lawrence was Helen's brother! It's gonna be fun when she finds out that Gilbert struck him in the face. It's gonna be fun when Gilbert realizes who he struck in the face!

I am once again reminded of the many reasons to love Persuasion.

Also, within the letter, Wentworth writing about Anne and Harville's conversation of constancy and how he focuses on what she might have felt in relation? The thoughtful consideration of her perspective and experience?

It's such a great insight into the way he develops throughout the text from resentment to understanding.

anne and wentworth are too scared to talk to each other for most of the book but that means they both pay intimate attention to each other’s body language and non-verbal cues. wentworth helping anne into the crofts’ carriage because he can tell that she’s tired but too selfless to take up the spot, anne constantly noticing whether his eyes are on her whenever they’re in the same room, wentworth removing her nephew from her back, anne intuitively moving to the spot where he was writing the letter (which he knew she would do, giving him the subtle opportunity to come back and hand her his confession). after all these years they still feel at home with each other and they don’t even recognize it until wentworth has to put this loving silence into words.
