#jane eyre lb

[llycaons]

honestly idrc about jane feeling sad or anything. like the ableist bitch? she didn't spare a single thought to a woman locked up for 15 years and described her as an animal when she'd been treated basically like one. like! all that compassion and kindness for her abusive guardian, all those virtues extolled. and she doesn't give a shit about this woman because she's 'mad'? calls her a hyena? she can go to hell man

When Kendall & Roman offer to "have [Tom] killed" in 3x08 and the scene ends like this

[aleksanderscult]

When I think of Zoyalai, I think, my god they could have been epic. If Zoya had stayed in line with what her character was in the original trilogy to actually be an anti-heroine by taking the female lead of the duology instead of LB's plot armor to make her perfect, I would surely would have loved a romance with her and Nikolai. I always saw great potential. And if only Nikolai had also remained this great, striking character of the trilogy instead of becoming this naive and borderline incompetent king of the duology, adoring Zoya to the point of giving her his fucking crown ? Seriously, why is this ?! They could have been great together ! Oh and also if LB hadn't spent the entire duology spitting on the Darkling by blaming him for all of Ravka's problems and shoving Malina's great happiness down our throats again. Frankly, a true Nikolai duology set a few years after the events of the trilogy is always appealing. But that's not what we got. What we got was a duology about Zoya being some kind of cheap copy of Daenerys Targaryen. (Rather ironic knowing that LB doesn't like Daenerys. That + the fact that LB doesn't like Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre makes her even more unbearable in my eyes as authors. Madam, you don't understand anything about Daenerys from ASOIAF, and you didn't understand anything about Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre. But at this stage, nothing surprises me about her anymore). In any case, if I had to name a couple that is everything Zoyalai should / could have been it's basically Manorian AKA Manon & Dorian from the Throne of Glass book series (my second favorite couple from this book series by the way) from Sarah J Mass. If one day you read this series you will surely understand what I mean. All this to say that at this stage of disgust for the duology I will probably sell it. Hoping to be able to erase without problems my old notes full of anger, in pencil, on certain pages dating back quite some time now... 😅

Not gonna lie, at first I liked the idea of this ship. But it lasted less than a month when I heard of their duology counterparts and what they have done and said.

For me, Nikolai and Zoya are full of words and words but no action. They threaten, whine and curse but, in the end, they do nothing. And the narrative solves it for them.

I never heard of Bardugo not liking Daenerys. I only know that she loved Sansa's character. So send me the link where she said that if you can.

I have no problem with Leigh as a person. But I have a problem with her as an author because she just isn't good at it. Writing isn't only the talent of writing beautiful, poetic lines but also to keep a coherent story and characters that develop throughout the story.

(and if you create a persecuted group of people do not throw them to the bin afterwards. Just a friendly advice for any aspiring authors out there)

And good for you if you decide to sell these books. With the money you'll gain you can buy something more... worthy to have.

Okay so firstly here we goo,

💛💜🌙🔐🍓🍒🍇🍋🍐🖇☂️🧚‍♀️🪐⭐🪻☘.

Now, I'm in love with this whole scenario 😍. And the way you put it is so cutee.

Also, I was thinking about green when sending in the ask and then you wrote green. Are we soulmates or what?!!🤣

Anyways, you must know you bring me lotsss of comfort 🥰

Omg really?! Thank you!💜 (Also, finding soulmates through tumblr blogs seems very on brand for this fandom, I love it!)

Anyway, damn, you gave me a couple deep thinkers on that list lol! I'm going to put the asks under the cut just to keep this post from scrolling too long, but here we go!

💛 what is your favorite feature on yourself? - maybe my eyes?

💜 describe yourself in five words or less! -Sarcastic, Spooky, Daydreamer, Sister,

🌙 your zodiac (Sun, Moon, Rising) - Scorpio sun, Pieces moon, Cancer rising

🔐 something no one would guess about you - Apparently that I'm physically strong? Idk, people seemed surprised that I can lift like 50+lbs bags and stuff.

🍓 favorite food - Potatoes, in any form.

🍒 what is your earliest memory - the Minnie Mouse sheets on the bed as I woke up, going through the house to find my mom and sister. I think I was maybe four?

🍇 a word your friends would use to describe you - Gramdad

🍋 favorite genre to read / watch / write - Romance or mystery, especially with supernatural/paranormal elements.

🍐 if you could make one character real, who would it be - Maybe The Doctor from Doctor Who? Idk if I could pick one from my own works.

🖇️ what are your favorite asks to answer - I really like the ones when people are excited about their idea or my work or just excited in general. Don't hide your enthusiasm, it's wonderful!

☂️ your favorite fanfic from another writer - Ooh, there's so many good ones, but I'd have to say Act On It by @joonie-beanie . Yoongi, Vampires, Café Aus, so many of my favorite things.

🧚‍♀️ favorite characters of all time - Cas from Supernatural, Marcus, Aunt Sarah and Emily from Discovery of Witches, Darcy from Heartstopper, Jane Eyre, Elizabeth Bennett, (Imma stop there or this could go on a while)

🪐 favorite shows / series of all time - So weird(it's an old Disney series from the late 90s/early 00s), Hotel Del Luna, It's okay to not be okay, Our beloved summer,(I wanna say Supernatural, but I also don't wanna say Supernatural bc ugh)

⭐️ what is one of your biggest accomplishments? Why is it so important to you? - Honestly? Letting myself write. I spent so long thinking that I would never be good enough, so why even bother? But once I finally embraced that it didn't have to be perfect, it just had to be mine, it's made me soo happy.

🪻what is the toughest thing you had to go through, but can say you’ve successfully overcome? - idk if I have an answer for this one yet, I'm still working on it tbh

🍀 what is your comfort show/series and why is it your comfort show? How has it helped you? - This anime called Princess Jellyfish. The main character reminds me of myself a lot, and although it's super silly, it kinda encourages you to embrace your 'weirdness' and see the unique beauty in yourself and others.

If you wanna ask any more, feel free too!

Uh Oh Jane

[warriorprincesstramp]

all this talk about captain flint... girl that's just mr rochester lol

[shkspr]

i love this line its like. imagine reading a book written in the 21st century and it introduces a new character, spends a large paragraph describing how pretty she is without ever saying who she is, and then begins the next paragraph with “The superintendent (that was her btw)”

[revolant]

“So last night meant nothing?”

[llycaons]

tonight's reading is IMAGES OF BLACKNESS IN THE WORKS OF CHARLOTTE AND EMILY BRONTË by Reginald Watson and it'...extremely dated (it's from 2001 so slurs like the g-slur and even the n word are used) and the writing is also pretty juvenile. I expected it to be more sophisticated for journal-level work. but...hm. but on the whole the content is fairly in-depth and covers both jane eyre's bertha mason and wuthering heights' heathcliff

[kylorengarbagedump]

Okay I know I'm super behind on LB but the conversation in ch. 13 gives me such insane Rochester (Jane Eyre) vibes??? Are yoy familiar with his character/was this intentional??

I did read Jane Eyre YEARS ago, but I have absolutely no memory of it. If it was alarmingly similar, it was completely unintentional. I couldn't tell you the first thing about his character lmao. Not sure if this is like a good thing or not but thank you either way.

Aunts/Uncles: Louis Legrand (Uncle)

Parents: Jean Chaussard (father) and Emma Chaussard (mother) 

Siblings: None

Relationship With Family: His uncle refuses to talk to him on account of his work, so his sole other living relative is his father, who’s serving a life sentence for murder.

Happiest Memory: His father brought over his old friend, Nicholas St. Clair, to the estate one day. Théo, then twelve years old, met the man for the first time, not knowing he would one day become not only a boss, but a loved and respected mentor. Théo’s happiest memory is Nicholas St. Clair promoting Théo to Commandant, shaking his hand and whispering in his ear, “You’ve made your father proud, Théodore.” 

Childhood Trauma: Watching the police slam his father down on the tile kitchen floor, wrenching his arms behind his back to cuff him, and dragging him from the estate, his mother sobbing as it all happened.

MOB:

Occupation: Independent Business man, Entrepreneur 

Affiliation(s): The St. Clair Organizations

Loyalty Level: High
