#Someone's been reblogging a lot of posts under my Jack and Lacie tag so I've been revisiting them and reading my own tags and...#goodness‚ my opinions sure are steady#But also I am so right xD#I reread my tags having forgotten them and I can't help but cheer inside like 'wow you get them so right!'#Which is hilarious because even if forgotten that's me#But also that's me three years ago and having reread the manga two or three times at least ever since#so I could have changed my opinion on something#But obviously I haven't#Anyway... This got me thinking that I've wondered at times whether Cathy and Heathcliff have romantic feelings for each other for real#but I've never doubted it with Jack and Lacie#And I think it's because the multifaceted and kinda even liminal aspect of their relationship is intrinsic to their dynamic#but whereas Heathcliff and Cathy are most of the time taken as obviously romantic#(when they aren't just so and are romantic perhaps in the normal way but especially they are romantic in a very particular way I'd say)#Jack and Lacie on the other hand are usually taken as something else#So I guess I feel compelled to insist in the most forgotten facet of both dynamics#Jack and Lacie are peak romantic in my books. Are they Hollywood romantic? No‚ that's for sure. But they are#And Hollywood romantic is shit and barely feels like romance to me anyway. Which is what happens to Cathy and Heathcliff too#And why the popular image of them and the one represented in media is so different to the way they are in the book#It's also why they keep getting bad movie adaptations that twist and modify the characters and relationships so much#that in the end they are but a mocking shadow of who they were#Anyway... Truly the couples of all time#I couldn't agree more with past me and my words even if I don't remember them#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later
