LET'S GOOOOOOO (I'M NOT READY)

WH WHA WHAT IS THIS

THIS IS OFFICIAL???????

[anghraine]

I know why "Mr Bennet and Darcy have the same status, the only difference is Darcy having more money" is such a popular take, but also, I think it is kind of divorced from the practical reality of late 18th/early 19th century landed life.

Mr Bennet and Darcy have the same rank. They have the same technical precedence, and both belong to the landowning upper class. The idea of P&P as a Cinderella story is very silly, IMO.

But Darcy's social status is not "Mr Bennet but with more money" in a pragmatic sense. Darcy could have 20k a year and be much more on a par with Mr Bennet in terms of his reception in society if it came from a different source than his multiple estates. I'd argue that the difference between them in terms of this less strictly defined status—consequence is often Austen's word for it—is far more about land and direct power than simple income.

This is, additionally, why the idea that Elizabeth is a gold digger seems a very strange, cynical take on her to me—not only because of the cynicism, but because Elizabeth always knew his income and didn't care. What really hits her at Pemberley is something that seems to have never occurred to her before:

As a brother, a landlord, a master, she considered how many people’s happiness were in his guardianship! How much of pleasure or pain it was in his power to bestow! How much of good or evil must be done by him!

Power-hungry Elizabeth makes far more sense than money-grabbing Elizabeth, c'mon. Both are wrong, of course, but Elizabeth is actually affected by a consciousness of the extent of Darcy's power at Pemberley, where she is never affected by the simple fact of his income.

Can Marinette Bench press a building?!

(Ladybugs, also known as lady beetles or ladybird beetles, are able to carry objects that are up to 1,000 times their own weight due to the unique structure of their exoskeletons. An exoskeleton is an external protective covering that provides support and protection to the insect's body. This covering is made up of a material called chitin, which is a strong and lightweight polymer. The exoskeleton also gives ladybugs their characteristic shiny, hard shells. Ladybugs use their powerful leg muscles to lift and carry heavy objects, such as large leaves or other insects. The unique structure of their exoskeleton allows them to distribute the load evenly across their body, making it possible for them to carry heavy objects without being weighed down. Additionally, their strong legs and other muscles are equipped to sustain this weight too)

But like with her legs???

I wanna see a MLB x DC fic where Marinette is working with young justice and like a building fucking falls on them but marinette just fucking kicks it away. Or picks it up. Itd be even more absurdly funny if she wasn't transformed and the super strength is like a kwami side effect.

WHAT IS MARINETTES WEIGHT? IS THERE A CANNON ANSWER??? DO I HAVE TO PULL A MATPAT AND DO PIXEL MEASUREMENT MATHAMATICAL BULLSHIT???? I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN LOFT A BUILDING OR NOT!!!
