"Jo loved Laurie! they were meant to be!"

As much as I loved Laurie and Jo's dynamic, Jo never loved Laurie romantically, it's even clearer in the books. She did have an intense amount of love for him, but it was strictly platonical.

After Jo rejected Laurie and he was off abroad, she had a conversation with her mother where she stated that she didn't love him as she should but just wanted to be loved by him.

Jo only wanted to be loved by Laurie because of how lonely she felt, especially after the loss of Beth.

Little Women is so much more than just "a little girls book"

Little women is so often discredited by many as just "a little girls book" but in my opinion it is so much more than that. there is so much beauty in this book and it explores complex issues such as female relationships, the nostalgia of childhood and how marriage has often been about any but love.

we can relate to the march sisters in so many different ways and that is the beauty of Little Women.

this week on The Confession Club podcast we talk all things little women and its messages, link above!!

Laurie and Adaptive Attractiveness (Where is The Brown Skinned Laurie)

In Little Women, Louisa May Alcott wrote that Laurie has "curly black hair, black eyes and brown skin", but Laurie has never been played by a brown-skinned actor. In this episode you will also learn about Laurie's relationship with his grandfather and the loss of his parents. How Hollywood has actively erased major parts of Laurie's personality, such as his vanity and temper, things that also play major roles in his character arc, and why he moves on from Jo to Amy. Once again, this is something that is completely erased from Little Women films between 1933 and 2019.

I believe we have some power over who we love. It isn't something that just happens to a person.

15 people, 15 questions

Thanks for tagging me @queen-of-boops & @sparxaf 🥰

1) Are you named after anyone?

Nope.

2) When was the last time you cried?

This past night, I got the brilliant idea to, at 00:30, read a Chenford fanfic where Lucy died & Tim had a full breakdown. You can find it here if you also want to have cry xx

3) Do you have kids?

Does my dog count? Yes, yes, she does. So yeah, I do have one kid.

4) What sports do you play/have you played?

I did horseback riding for a little over 11 years.

5) Do you use sarcasm?

I'm fluent in it (imagine me doing a hair flip here)

6) What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Good question... I would say hair or outfit.

7) What’s your eye colour?

Blueish-grey.

8) Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings, 100%! You're talking to someone who found Scream too scary to watch... 😂

9) Any talents?

Spending hours upon hours scrolling through Tumblr & reblogging pictures.

10) Where were you born?

For privacy reasons, I'm just gonna say somewhere in Västerbotten.

11) What are your hobbies?

See the answer to question 9. Apart from that, I've re-fallen in love with pilates this autumn.

12) Do you have any pets?

Yes, I do & thank you for asking. She's only been mentioned once so far, which is a crime, in her opinion 😂 According to Ana, she's the centre of the universe & everyone should be focused on giving her attention. & she's correct 🥰

13) How tall are you?

158 cm, which apparently is around 5'2.

14) Favorite subject in school?

Is anyone surprised if I say it was history? 😂 I liked all of the social science subjects, to be fair...

15) Dream job?

Being paid to talk about royalty the whole day would be a dream.

Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure if I would be able to think of 15 people to tag, but here we go: @death-of-astar @bridgertonbabe @silverhallow @lizisanamimal @world-of-wales @cambridgemadness @princesscatherinemiddleton @amiscellaneouscollaboration @amymarched @corbenic @foreverinthepagesofhistoryy @royal-things @grandmaster-anne @tim-lucy @bridgertonian & anyone else who feels like answering these questions, consider yourself tagged by me :)

I’m sorry this all happened to you, the tiktok is terrible

Don’t be. It’s honestly so funny.

Apparently they think @amymarched is my side blog and not my historical/cleopatra bestie.

[iloveb1ur]

the three march girls ( jo, amy and meg ) who survive into adulthood represent three different pathways women could take at the time.

marry for love and a traditional family (meg)

marry for security (amy)

marry to not be alone (jo)

all three girls have distinctive personalities and are different and this wide representation of women is so rare in a world where women seemingly can only be one dimensional, thats what makes little women so good.

all the girls are flawed but realistic and relatable.

we discuss this and more on the confession club, link above!!

Love and Sex In Little Women

It might come as a surprise to some people but there are actually quite a few sex scenes in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. In this episode, we shall dive into 19th-century courtship and how Alcott writes about courtship etiquette. Laurie is based on Alcott's ex and Friedrich to a man she wanted to marry. Little Women, after all, is wish fulfillment.

[image description] Two images next to each other. On the left the characters Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy being read to by their mother Marmie in a Christmas setting. On the right, Jo, Beth, Meg and Amy gathered around their mother Marmie all looking into different directions.

One question listeners: are you a Jo, Amy, Beth, or Meg? This episode, we’re discussing characters in the 1994 and 2019 versions of Little Women, and diving deep into subtextual readings and fan interpretations.

We’ll discuss disability, autistic, and queer readings, and try to answer our question: is Little Women a ‘story for every generation’, and why is it so popular?

I have loved you ever since I have known you Jo. I couldn't help it. And I tried to show you and you wouldn't let me which is fine but I must make you hear now. Give me an answer because I cannot go on like this any longer. I gave up billiards, I gave up everything you didn't like. I'm happy I did. It's fine and I waited and I never complained because I- you know I figured you'd love me Jo.
