I think my absolute favourite thing about Jane Austen's Emma is that it's a love story about two best friends. They've known each other for two decades, so they know the other inside and out. And they fall in love with each other. Despite the fact that Emma meddles in others' lives and that Mr Knightley scolds her for it, they fall in love. And they don't just fall in love with the other's positive attributes, but their negative ones too. They love every part of the other, and that's beautiful.

Friends to Lovers Tournament: Round 1, Side B, Match 30

propaganda under the cut!

Knighthouse:

Submission 1

They were friends for years, he fell slow she fell hard, they both pined thinking each other was in love with someone else until he just up and asked if he might ever have a chance with her. "If I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more" SO GOOD

And then he moved into HER house instead of bringing her to his, which was unheard of at the time and would've been seen as pretty embarrassing, even emasculating for a landowner not to live in his own house, but he puts her needs over all of that. 

Submission 2

One of the earliest, and absolutely delightful. Austen has a book for every general romance trope and Emma's THE friends to lovers romance of all time 

Percabeth:

Submission 1

they are the cutest thing ever with 5 books of slow burn

Submission 2

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THEM?? THEY ARE THE BEST OTP! THEY START OFF WITH UNCERTAINTIES BUT ANNABETH CHOOSES TO BE HIS FRIEND, HER FIRST INDEPENDENT STEP TO NOT CONSIDER THE OLYMPIAN'S WISHES WHEN MAKING CHOICES. SHE IGNORED HER MOM'S OPINION GUYS, THAT IS BIG! AND HE DOESNT REALLY HAVE FRIENDS UNTIL THE SUMMER HE TURNS 13 AND SHE IS ONE OF THEM. SHE AND HIM ARE ALWAYS BY EACHOTHER'S SIDES (METAPHORICALLY AT LEAST). THEY WORK TOGETHER ON QUESTS SOO WELL BECAUSE THEY KNOW EACH OTHER THAT WELL. AND SHE KISSED THEM DURING THE LABYRINTH QUEST AND HE KINDA IGNORED IT FOR LIKE A YEAR. AND SHE WAS HIS ANCHOR TO THE MORTAL WORLD. AND HE TOLD HER ABOUT HIS ACHILLES HEEL. AND SHE BACKS HIM UP ALL THE TIME. AND IT WAS THE GREATEST UNDERWATER KISS OF ALL TIME. AND WHEN HE WENT MISSING SHE DID NOT SLEEP. AND SHE WAS ALL HE REMEMBERED WHEN HERA TRIED HER SHENANIGANS. AND THEY FELL TOGETHER. AND THEY ARE EACH OTHERS BEST FRIENDS (sorry grover, but you get it) AND I LOVE THEM TOGETHER SO MUCH. THEY EMAILED EACH OTHER AT 13 BECAUSE CELL PHONES WERE A BIG N O! AND HE KEPT A PICTURE OF HER IN HIS BINDER. AND SHE WANTS TO BUILD SOMETHING PERMANENT WITH HIM.

Mirbeck Daily: Mirbeck City

08.03.2023 - Entdecken Sie noch den historischen Charme der Knighthouse Alley in Mirbeck

Die historischen Gebäude entlang der Straße sind in einem schlechteren Zustand als früher und viele von ihnen wurden nicht gepflegt oder renoviert. Die Fensterläden sind verwittert und die Balkone sind verrostet und bröckelig. Einige Gebäude sind leer und verlassen und scheinen auf den Verfall zu warten.

Die Blumenkästen, die früher die Straße entlang geschmückt haben, sind verschwunden und die Gehwege sind jetzt in einem schlechteren Zustand. Es gibt weniger Geschäfte und Restaurants, und diejenigen, die noch geöffnet sind, scheinen weniger gut besucht zu sein als früher.

Die Straßenbeleuchtung funktioniert nur teilweise und es gibt dunkle Ecken, die in der Nacht unheimlich wirken können. Auch gibt es mehr Graffiti und Müll, der auf der Straße herumliegt.

Trotz dieser Veränderungen hat die Knighthouse Alley noch immer ihren Charme und ihre Geschichte. Es ist immer noch möglich, das Gefühl einer vergangenen Zeit zu erleben, wenn man durch die Straße geht, und es gibt immer noch einige Geschäfte und Restaurants, die das Viertel am Leben erhalten. Es gibt jedoch auch eine spürbare Herausforderung für die Gemeinde, um das Viertel wiederzubeleben und ihm neuen Glanz zu verleihen.

"The Vintage Emporium" - Ein charmantes Antiquitätengeschäft mit einem breiten Angebot an historischen Möbeln, Büchern und Kuriositäten. Das Geschäft befindet sich in einem historischen Gebäude aus dem 19. Jahrhundert und bietet eine gemütliche Atmosphäre zum Stöbern und Entdecken.

"The Book Nook" - Eine kleine Buchhandlung, die auf gebrauchte Bücher und Raritäten spezialisiert ist. Die gemütliche Einrichtung mit bequemen Sesseln und einer Kaffeemaschine lädt zum Verweilen und Lesen ein.

"The Farmers' Market Square" - Ein zentral gelegener Platz, auf dem jede Woche ein lebhafter Bauernmarkt stattfindet. Hier findest du lokale Produkte wie Obst, Gemüse, Käse und handgemachte Waren wie Seifen und Kerzen. Der Platz ist von historischen Gebäuden und einem Glockenturm umgeben, der regelmäßig Konzerte gibt.

"Anansie´s Kitchen Palace" - Ein von schwarzen familiengeführtes Restaurant, das traditionelle Hausmannskost aus verschiedenen Ländern serviert. Das Restaurant ist in einem historischen Gebäude untergebracht und bietet eine gemütliche Einrichtung mit warmen Farben und einem Kamin. Die Speisekarte bietet hausgemachte Gerichte wie Fleischpasteten, Kartoffelbrei, frisch gebackenes Brot und Spezialitäten aus Südafrika. Und jeden letzten Samstag im Monat gibt es einen Karaoke Abend.

"The Artisan Alley" - Ein bezauberndes Gässchen, das sich der lokalen Handwerkskunst widmet. Hier findest du kleine Kunstgeschäfte und Ateliers, die handgefertigte Produkte wie Schmuck, Keramik und Textilien anbieten. Der Weg ist mit bunten Blumenkästen und Kunstwerken dekoriert und bietet eine charmante Atmosphäre zum Schlendern und Entdecken. Sie ist einer der Verbindungsgassen zum Marktplatz.

Mini Reviews I

Here are some shorter horror games I’ve played over the last few weeks. It’s a dark season, friends.

Sanatorium Escape by Mychal Sanders

great use of horror elements in an interesting story format

play if you’re (not) afraid of the dark

multiple endings

You wake up in a strange, white room. A voice calls to you through the speaker by the door: “Good evening, Patient Zero.” A very tense, explorative solo adventure! The story is gripping and atmospheric, aided by the sometimes genuinely weird and scary prompts you carry out in your own home and the interesting format it’s presented in. Some commitment on your part is needed for it to unfold in all its glory, but it’s totally worth it. I was pleasantly surprised how much impact a small game like this can have on me. You’ll need a D6 to play and can either use a separate journal or write in the margins of the document (which is what I did). There is an accompanying playlist that goes nicely with the game. Ideal for those lonely weekend nights where nothing else is going on and you have an hour to spare.

Red Snow by John Thomas Battle

excellently thought-out layout and writing create a haunting atmosphere

kind of blurring into reality (beware!)

emotionally devastating :)

Snow, all around you. Except for that red patch over there. This managed to wring me out like a dish cloth in just a few minutes. Layout and writing make this game an experience to remember, the mechanics are brutal and heart-wrenching. It’s no joke to call this a survival-horror game despite it being quite short and simple (in the best way). Don’t expect an easy win or a happy ending - this is no feel-good adventure romp. You’ll need a couple of dice (d6, d4, d12, d20) and a piece of paper or notes app to play, although in this case I recommend paper for a more permanent feel. Mind that you play as yourself and that’s meant quite literally; some prompts will require you to weave in information from your life and immediate surroundings. Personally, I love how immersive this makes the game, but it can be a deal breaker for you. Note the soundtrack recommendation - it’s really good!

Bathrooms and Backrooms by Knighthouse co.

didn’t think backrooms could be funny but lo and behold

super short in-between game; easy to set up and play

need to mention how much i love the layout

Escape the office building of the LIMINAL Corporation in this one page solo rpg. Also, you really need to pee. This is a super short and fun “dungeon crawler” if you will; the mechanics are immediately clear, setup is a breeze and gameplay swift and satisfying. The short and sweet texts are well written and leave you wanting more. Using a suit from a standard deck of cards, you build your own random office layout to traverse. Rolling a D6 determines which of your three stats increases (Desperation, Navigation and Intuition) and if you can leave a room card face up to build your evacuation plan. There are multiple endings depending on what you manage to max out first - and it can get pretty close! I can see myself playing this more in the future.

For a moment or two nothing was said, and she was unsuspicious of having excited any particular interest, till she found her arm drawn within his, and pressed against his heart, and heard him thus saying, in a tone of great sensibility, speaking low,  “Time, my dearest Emma, time will heal the wound.”

��� EMMA, Jane Austen (1815)

[marshmelonlover]

My absolute favourite thing about the Emma adaptations is Emma and Knightley communicating through looks, even if they're brief. It shows the depth of their friendship, and just how well they know one another.

FRIENDS TO LOVERS TOURNAMENT BRACKET

thank you all for your patience! here's our updated bracket:

(the typed-out list of match-ups can be found under the cut)

sorry if your ship didn't make it in btw. we made our selections based on number of submissions + strength of propaganda and these were the ones that made the cut

a reminder of the rules because we want this tournament to be a fun & safe space for everyone:

be respectful to the other voters and to us mods. supporting your fave(s) is encouraged, but we will NOT tolerate any hate towards other ships. anything from "wreck those twinks" to slurs and hate speech will get you blocked IMMEDIATELY, no questions asked or chances given. if you have nothing nice to say to/about your opponent then literally don't say anything at all; just vote and scream for your blorbos then MOVE ON. there are better things to do than being toxic about some pixels online.

a ship being canon does not make it "superior" and a ship not being canon does not make it "inferior". comments like "XX ship is canon therefore it's better than YY ship" will also get you blocked immediately. we let headcannoned ships in so more people can indulge in silly blorbo fun, don't ruin it.

propaganda is encouraged! preferably do it in the text of a reblog of the relevant poll, but sending it via an ask is also an option

-mod deli 🎀

4. also propaganda in the form of fanart, fics, and memes are also encouraged! (just specifying this to make it clear)

He had found her agitated and low.—Frank Churchill was a villain.— He heard her declare that she had never loved him. Frank Churchill’s character was not desperate.—She was his own Emma, by hand and word, when they returned into the house; and if he could have thought of Frank Churchill then, he might have deemed him a very good sort of fellow.
