aaa my local library has the dvds of the 1980 p&p series, But both have been borrowed! wondering if i should reserve them now or after i finish rewatching the 1995 one (i finally got up to it, and it's lovely, but my old laptop has a bit of a matte screen situation going on, so the colors don't look as saturated as the ough to be; it would look the best on my mother's computer or tv, but for that i'd have to add polish subtitles, and i downloaded them but alas! they don't work, probably because it's a dvd thing. SIGH)

#also i'm slowly nearing the end of emma and it might be my failing but i can't really see how emma and mr knightley could end up married #and in love. like. if their influence over each other was more visible through the book? but they're hanging out and they like each other #but while she's smart and not really your typical suffering husband's silly chatterbox of a wife... he does end up coming up more observant #than her. and the way he (rightfully) points out her mistakes to her... it just feels much more 'older relative' or 'a teacher' than #'future husband'! but again. might be v much my lack of observation skilsl #i remember i was reading hnzs like... 2011? so i was around 14 at that time And after reading a new chapter i said i was surprised #the characters had sex because it just seemed too sudden for their current relationship status #and an older mutual whom i kindasorta admired was like oh interesting! i didn't think it was sudden at all it felt very fitting!#and reader i was MORTIFIED #it only became apparent to me Years later that other people don't consider sex something that happens with people you know and trust well #and are sure they won't idk. make fun of your body or something. it turned out that people really do fuck complete strangers!#fascinating. hurtful but fascinating #etc.#shrimp thoughts
