#THANKS DARCI

[hycinthrt]

i love how a big part of elizabeth bennet’s character is that she is obviously very smart, she is very observant, but she can easily be led astray by her preconceived notions, by things that she already has convinced herself of believing. and this is most obvious by her not seeing mr. darcy’s proposal coming at all, because girl that man was openly flirting with her. i don’t think this is shown a lot in the movie or the tv series, but he keeps teasing her, answering her witty remarks with a smile, the whole “i am not afraid of you” thing. like, charlotte saw it coming, colonel fitzwilliam definitely saw it coming, the gardiners knew as soon as they saw them together later in the book, mr darcy was not as subtle as he thought he was being

seriously, god bless you jane austen for giving us this romance of two fucking idiots constantly misunderstanding each other’s actions and intentions. god bless you for giving us mr “aha so like what do you think of your friend’s marriage? you wouldn’t mind living away from your family when you marry right? oh, no reason, no reason, just a random thought. and what do you think of rosings, you know if hypothetically you were ever a guest there, no, no reason hehe”, and miss “i wonder why i keep coming across mr darcy during my walks, i even made sure to tell him that this is where i usually take my walks so he can avoid me but we are still??? running into each other???? and he keeps asking me all these strange questions too, what a weirdo”

just, two idiots that were made for each other

Can you tell me why Mr. Darcy keeps staring at me?

[chantelles-stuff]

The fact it said conclude instead of continues honestly makes my heart sink I can’t believe it’s all coming to an end 😭😭

Since what if gave me the confirmation that there is and can be a universe where everyone is gay and slowly healing, I'm taking the liberty to write it myself.

Starts after Endgame, Blackhill, Bishova, Agathario, ValCarol and Wanda x Darcy (just trust me on this) are some ships that I've started working into the fic so far. Everyone is on the long rocky road to satisfaction. It gets messy but no person left behind.

Plenty of the pet characters make an appearance. Alpine, Goose, Lucky, Liho and Jeff the Land Shark to name a few.

Searching for a Pride & Prejudice quote and I noticed something interesting about Elizabeth using the phrase "such a man"

“I am astonished at his intimacy with Mr. Bingley. How can Mr. Bingley, who seems good-humour itself, and is, I really believe, truly amiable, be in friendship with such a man? [Mr. Darcy] How can they suit each other? Do you know Mr. Bingley?”

It vexed her to see him [Mr. Collins] expose himself to such a man. Mr. Darcy was eyeing him with unrestrained wonder

In spite of her deeply-rooted dislike, she could not be insensible to the compliment of such a man’s [Mr. Darcy] affection

Now she knows the truth about Wickham...

How is such a man [Wickham] to be worked on? How are they even to be discovered? I have not the smallest hope. It is every way horrible!

“And they must marry! Yet he is such a man.” [Wickham]

"Such a man" switched from Darcy to Wickham, and is clearly Elizabeth's most derogatory way of thinking and speaking about a guy she dislikes.

Jane Austen did it again! Amazing.

(Edit: I got too excited, the middle reference to Darcy isn't derogatory, though I think the two top ones are, it's about Darcy's status. But I still find this fascinating)

Shoutout to Heartstopper for not having Darcy forgive or have any sort of relationship with their abusive mother

[sandwichsapphic]

“an exceedingly pleasant and amiable young gentleman but… mentally he is negligible - quite negligible” is the Jeeves and Wooster equivalent of “she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me”

HEAR ME OUT: the first time Rolan tells his partner "I love you," is while his partner is giving him the most mind blowing blowjob in the world.

Rolan is falling apart at the seams, moaning and gasping, and as he comes, he chokes out those three little words.

It takes him a solid thirty seconds to register what he said.

blitz saying stolas’s romantic desires are just a romcom as if they’re not literally hell’s elizabeth bennet and mr. darcy

Darcy and her struggle with the L-word, another HS body language post drop.

(Yes, a body language post that's not about Narlie. Forgive me!)

Kizzy Edgell doesn't get enough credit for the way they play Darcy, because the sheer range required is actually pretty incredible. From exuberant, outrageous, gives zero Fs, to quiet observation to rage to insecurity to tearful confessions, Darcy does and feels it all.

But this moment here is, I think, one of the more quietly complex ones, and it takes place over less than a minute.

Darcy's just jokingly told Tara that she's going to be "so annoyed" with her after so much togetherness on the Paris trip, which is already code for please contradict what I just said so I can be reassured that you actually like me. When Tara responds with "I love you," basically the most irrefutable way she could put Darcy's fears to rest, you can see a brief, confused frown before Darcy's face freezes. To some it looks like awkwardness or shock, but I think it's pure disbelief. Darcy has received so little love in her life, she can't actually process the fact that someone might voluntarily choose to love her.

Then comes the moment when I think Edgell gives us a layer of depth to Darcy that we haven't quite seen to this point in the show. Tara backtracks a bit on her proclamation of love, and Darcy's face goes from disbelief to resigned understanding. Her face says "ah, yes, that's what I was expecting" and "that's all I actually deserve" and "this is familiar territory," all in a few seconds.

Darcy immediately reverts to her preferred methods of self-preservation, deflection, avoidance, and humor. But before she runs off to suggest that prom be vampire themed, you see that this excruciating moment where she shakes off the whole exchange both figuratively and physically with a tiny shrug and false laugh.

Tara's repeated public displays of affection and her (bumpy, yes, but committed) ownership of her identity both as a lesbian and as Darcy's girlfriend throughout season 1 weren't enough to break down Darcy's inability to believe in someone loving her. We find out later that Tara's declaration frightens Darcy because she feels Tara doesn't know her well enough to claim love, and that's reflected in this scene. But Darcy's also showing signs of the lifetime of neglect and lack of love she's received until now.

What an intense journey Darcy has over the course of season 2.
