Firstly I must apologize, I recently realized my main stories have not been update in over a month (time really flies like damn) and to help me get back on track I wanted to ask you all what update you were looking forward to the most. Also just realized my main stories are basically all A/B/Os >_< In spirit of all my previous polls, feel free to ask what the next chapters of these stories would entail, or ask for a little snippet if you dare...

Day 70

[thatscarletflycatcher]

Just finished Jane Eyre (1973) and I cannot say otherwise than that I absolutely adored it! 2006 must always be my favourite; I first saw it when I was little and it left a lasting impression on me; but this definitely takes second place! I think this adaptation was very successful in compressing some things—as is almost unavoidable—but never giving the feeling like something is truly missing. The compression in the film adaptations always makes it feel like something is lacking, but here I really did feel all the essentials were there. 1983 has as much, if not more, but the acting in this version elevates it beyond that one. Episode four was just constantly spot on, and their chemistry was so, so good. I love them together. The St John section was very, very decent, and I'm so glad we got Jane teasing Rochester at the end! The one thing missing in this adaptation is perhaps a certain moody atmosphere, but it has so much to make up for that and I'll take good acting over good cinematography any day!

I'm sorry it took me so long to answer this ask, but in the interim since I got it: i) an assignment I had for the end of October was moved to last friday and I had to rush it ii) the washer broke down iii) the water purifier broke down iii) the dishwasher broke down. So I have been running after things and being too tired at night to answer asks.

I'm so glad you liked it! It truly is a hidden gem. While I think the St John part is better in 83, this Rochester brings so much more to the rest. I think Michael Jayston commits to the notion that yes, Rochester loves Jane and really truly means to make her happy and is ALSO being very stupid about it and hurting her deeply in the process too. It's very clear (and poignant) in that bit at the wedding where he grabs Jane's hand and holds it over his heart, like he fears something will happen and she will be taken away from him. The very gesture shows both, how much she means to him, but also the fear and guilt that are plaguing him because he knows he's doing something he shouldn't.

I get what you mean about the moody atmosphere. It IS a big deal, but ultimately we have so many adaptations now, that time has made it less of an issue for me. If we only had, say, 73 and 83, I'd be begging for some Gothic atmosphere. As is, having 97, 06 and 11, I'm like "we can have a happy go lucky Jane Eyre. As a treat."

hey sorry about the slow replies and the lack of replying to one on one messages for the past few weeks. i just haven't been very happy lately and i just don't feel very motivated to do anything. don't know what this is since i'm usually a lot happier than this, especially around this time of the year. i'm just not feeling so great.

listen it may just be me and i apologize in advance but i find it really... uncomfortable when people comment "wow they're so stupid!" (and nothing else) on a GR chapter where stede and ed act out of. pure trauma response

I know I have been sharing a lot of fundraisers for people in palestine. You may notice that they all sound kind of similar. For that I'm sorry, I'm not very good with words, I'm writing them as soon as they come in, and I don't really know what to say. I still hope I can help but if you are going to send an ask about a fundraiser, know that I might not respond immediately. I'm sorry about that.

I actually was trying to agree with what you were saying, I'm sorry my tags came across at being directed at you or insinuating that you were the one guilting smut writers, I didn't think that was the case all. Mine was a general complaint related to when others put down or demean what they don't like (whether that be smut or fluff or angst, etc.) and yet don't hold up and promote what they do like.

What I was trying to say but clearly didn't get across as I was just feeling frustrated and was speaking very flippantly, was that often I see people complain about how smut is pointless or gross and is only written to get interactions, when it's just as valid a genre as any other and is just as much work, and isn't putting down or elbowing out non-smut simply by existing. Hence my evidently poor attempt to communicate the idea that people should support what they like instead of putting down/complaining about what they don't, and shaming the writers who write something just for the simple fact that that it's not their preference. Otherwise, how are readers going to get more of their favourite stories if the writers don't know that people actually like them.

Thank you for adding your follow-up, as I had in fact not seen it, and once again I completely agree with all of those points.

“all i see is smut” “why can’t i find fluff and angst and not smut” “how come fluff isn’t—”

yet when nonsmut fics come across your dash you don’t support it by circulating it with a reblog. smut is pushed because it’s the smut audience that tends to be more supportive when it comes to boosting the fics they read 💗

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)
