honestly i think a lot of nuance to Mr. Collin's character is lost in most P&P adaptations when they cast him as a guy multiple decades older than his book age. this man is twenty-five years old and fresh out of seminary. he does things like apologize for fifteen minutes straight and start conversations in socially inappropriate ways he's not a Creepy Older Relative he's the guy who went to college and now thinks he knows shit but also somehow learned almost nothing there and is probably actually a lot more anxious than he lets on. casting him as an older guy gives a vastly different impression of what he's like

Based on a scene from The Office that some random post on Pinterest reminded me of

Every since I first watched Pride & Prejudice in early February of this year it has not left my brain. Also, this is the first time I’ve actually drawn any character from pride and prejudice! I thought I’d struggle more with it but it was surprisingly easy :D

[rockthistowninsideout]

Until my nth rewatch yesterday, I never noticed that Mr Collins could have had a Ms Bennet as his future wife:

Mary.

There are at least two scenes where you can see her pining after him and defending his demeanour to Lizzy. But since even Mrs Bennet, with her rampant urge to marry all of her daughters off, does not notice Mary, really, her attraction flew right under everyone's radar.

Though can you imagine what that meant? Mr Collins actually a brother-/son-in-law to the Bennets? Mary and Mr Collins sermonizing to each other without the other really listening?

I just think that we're missing out on some excellent comedic potential here.

A few more character designs for the Pride and Prejudice Joseon AU: Mr Collins, Lady Catherine, and George Wickham

I’ve been rereading My Royal Awakening and Crush in Spring and those manhwas gave me a bit more inspo for this au. I couldn’t unsee Lady Catherine in eoyeo meori so I turned her into the queen dowager—which would make for some interesting nepotistic dynamics with her nephews if she favors her own clan in politics, and both Darcy and Fitzwilliam are probably not about that life lol.

Darcy could be a junior official at court where he wears his mask constantly as a matter of survival, or maybe even a scholar of Sungkyunkwan. Fitzwilliam is always gone to the border and only comes home when he’s forced to.

And Mr Collins… *deep sigh* Mr Collins is probably in a lesser administrative position and uses his connection with the queen dowager to crawl his way up the ladder.

William Collins: what are you thinking about, Miss Bennet?

Elizabeth Bennet: *dismissively polite tone* about nothing in particular, really.

William Collins: *jolly* so am I!

Elizabeth Bennet: I had no doubt, Mr Collins.

William Collins: we have so much in common!

Elizabeth Bennet: *suffering sigh*

Nothing is funnier to me than Mr. Collins coming up to Darcy with “I’ve made the most amazing discovery! You are the nephew of the great Lady Catherine de Bourgh!” And Darcy staring at him like he’s the most idiotic being he’s ever come across, like, no shit Sherlock. I know she’s my aunt. This isn’t an Importance of Being Earnest situation, I wasn’t found in a basket, I know this dumbass.

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies (2016)

Alright I have to admit it. I wasn't super looking forward to this one but I had a romp of a time.

Mostly due to THIS GUY

why did no one tell me Matt Smith was not only in this but one of my favorite versions of Collins EVER. I didn't know my ideal Collins was a foppish bisexual disaster

"We're expecting a proposal for Jane any day now" "Ohhhhhhhhhhh...fuddle. Is there no negotiating over Jane?"

"Mr Bennet I am very susceptible to flattery and you sir, are very charming."

"Oh is there trouble?" (the ladies unsheath their weapons) "Oh it appears there is."

his little wave across the ballroom

And then he officiates the weddings at the end? "You may now kiss Mr Darcy - the brides. You may now kiss the brides" and then he watches Elizabeth and Darcy, just incredible. Watch this movie for Matt Smith, if nothing else.

But also, just a fun movie. Overdramatic? Of course. Interesting take on zombies? Check. True to canon? eeeeeehhhhhh even in the beginning it compressed a lot of conversations, and then as any good variation, went off the rails, but the important bits were there. I particularly enjoyed the moment after the proposal where Lizzy loses her temper and is throwing books and things at Darcy, who is just batting them away.

Of COURSE they had Darcy strip to a white shirt and jump in the lake. Wonderful. Yes. the data

I LOVE that Jane saved Bingley, love a strong Jane.

And adored the line "the very first moment I beheld you, my heart was irrevocably gone"

so fun.

@bethanydelleman

I've seen this screenshot many times and it still cracks me up 😂

Altho in my personal view I think Mr. Darcy may have friends plural, he's just not the outgoing and approachable type. He has Bingley, and possibly more........? Maybe? He possibly went to school too right

This post does make me think of Lizzie and Darcy's relationship being not only romantic but also they're each other's friends. It's nice. I don't think a romantic dynamic alone works for their relationship, I think they're also friends

Mr. Collins on the other hand.......That final reblog, i can't

[kaleb-is-definitely-sane]

The fact that I talk about Jane Austen the way Mr. Collins talks about Lady Catherine 😭

[the-badger-mole]

I feel like being a lil controversial today...

Mr. Collins wasn't that bad. Yes, he and Lizzie would've been a disaster together, but his heart was in the right place for wanting to marry her in to begin with. In another story, he probably would've been the hero. I hope he and Charlotte found at least enough affection for each other to have a decent friendship, and that she was able to at least soften his brown-nosing ways.
