not until i started reading restoration and post-restoration plays written by women like aphra behn and susanna centlivre did i fully understand romantic comedy on another level. the male love interests are just built better. like as much as i love a midsummer night's dream, if i were hermia i would never risk death or a forced life in a nunnery for lysander. no. hell no. he's just ken. but if i were miranda would i risk my thirty-thousand-pound inheritance to elope with sir george airy? if i were leticia would i contemplate leaving behind my country and my hated old husband i was tricked into marrying the second i learn that belmour is still alive, to live with his banished ass in exile? hm. let me thin—yes.
#text post#tales from diana#aphra behn#susanna centlivre#the busybody#the lucky chance#i think i enjoyed the men and the relationships in the lucky chance moreso than i did in the rover or the feigned courtesans#(the other two behn plays i've read so far)#i loved her characterizations of the women in both plays of course but i didn't quite feel myself in their situations#it was also quite more reliant on the same character archetypes#the modest one ends up with the selfless lovesick hero and the more innocent libertine one ends up w a reformed dashing rake.#and i'm ok w that right? like those tropes make sense. the plots and the witty dialogue are still enjoyable#but i find the lucky chance really upped the stake of the melodrama as well as the foils between the two main couples were more complex#you have one very melodramatic honest couple (leticia and belmour) who narrowly escape ruinous disaster#and then lawfully make their love official (most luckily BEFORE leticia has slept w fainwould and consummated the marriage)#and then you have the much more complicated and comical relationship between mr. gayman and julia fulbank#lady fulbank's marriage is done and done. no averting it. but she unabashedly carries a torch for him#she admits as much to her husband that she still loves him and she doesn't really care who knows#but she wants to be honorable to her marriage bc that's the lot she's chosen in life—his material comfort#and she does use that to the benefit of gayman when he's in financial ruin.#but her two stupid men. her lover and her husband. more or less work together to make her work against her own honorable wishes#she's compromised. and she SORT of gets what she really wants. she willfully foreswears the bed of her gross husband forever#and it's ambiguous whether or not she chooses to cuck him for gayman while he's still alive or what#very interesting ambiguous ending and i've never seen another character quite like lady fulbank in literature from that time#the lucky chance is worthy of far more study and interest than it's received. it's so funny and incredibly challenging#also. men don't hide in treasure chests enough anymore#more plots where men hide in treasure chests. thank you cymbeline by shakespeare and the lucky chance by behn. you guys got it

the only thing I have learned from reading the first volume of "Pride & Prejudice" is that I'm too stupid for school

Sports RPF is so fascinating to me because a lot of it just uses the players' bodies as a canvas to project some random personality onto ... or at least that is what it feels like.

Although Buckingham had lacked the common touch, he had been on good terms with Margaret [Pole] and her children, and this connection was to prove costly. On 7 May [1521], Sir William Fitzwater reported that Henry Pole, Lord Montague, had been arrested, along with his father-in-law, Lord Bergavenny. As for Arthur Pole, he was expelled from court, having reportedly asked Lord Leonard Grey to 'write concerning the imprisonment of the duke'; although exactly what Grey was supposed to write, much less to whom, went unreported by the source for this information, a Richard Pace. Pace also added that 'concerning the Lady Salisbury, the matter is under debate because of her nobility and goodness.' Whatever the meaning of this murky statement, Margaret was clearly tainted by her connection with the doomed duke, for she lost her position in [Princess] Mary's household.

This is like the plot of EVERY Jane Austen novel ever:
Novelist getting pursued by dissolute man who doesn't understand her books but loves them anyway!
🤣😂🤣😂
I kind of love that one of Jane Austen's biggest fans was the Prince Regent (later George IV). She didn't think very well of the nobility in general, but she motherfucking hated him, a wastrel who very flagrantly cheated on his wife.
But he loved her writing, was the first recorded purchaser of Sense and Sensibility, and kept copies of her books in all his residences. She never made enough from her writing to live on during her lifetime, so this wasn't support she could casually toss aside. His librarian kept suggesting ideas for new books to her, which she turned down with exquisite politeness. Much to her aggravation, she found herself obliged to dedicate Emma to the man.

Saw electric light orchestra last night and just wanted to say that that concert was so fuckin cool you guys. The median age of the audience was probably somewhere around 58, and my brother and I had several people comment on how young we were which was funny since my brother and I have both been adults for at least 2 years now, but I get it loll. Anyway here's some pictures to share the fantastic lighting!
