[rontra]

as the holder of extremely niche isako lore it's really important to me that you know i didn't make this whole writer thing up. the p3 club book brings up that she's a writer as a hobby, specifically so that it can then say she hasn't had any particular success with it. her whole profile is so hilarious but this bit really gets me. mean to her

Omg, that’s a walking 3-d object. Uhhh, try worshipping it or something? Give it food, food is goood

Tried to offer a split peice of cookie, but I don't think he likes sharing or somethin'

Looked disappointed when I split it. Scurried off elsewhere in the house after.

Proooobably pouting?

I'll give em some space for now. I'd prolly be just as skepticle if some taller stranger offered a snack.

As for worshipping?

I deadass dunno how to, but i could try askin if he needs somethin or whatever later.

Not gonna pressure the lad too much tho

[saytrrose]

you’re honestly so fucking rude, it’s not nice to humiliate people jsut because you think you’re better than them- all people are doing is asking questions and both you and mushy think you’re so high and mighty and can be a rudeass to whoever you want- i was just a fan trying to learn more about her ocs and you have some sort of savior complex to think you need to defend her or give your own input on what happens on her blog. If anyone is extremely annoying it’s you

Sorry man I can’t help it I just have this massive kink for humiliating people on the internet yk

i love how subtle the soaps are in every regard (:D) so all of these lovely little crumbs about lisa saying she’d take a bullet for betsy, not flinching at being in dangerous situations because it’s what becky went through and she feels?? like maybe she deserves the same for having not saved her from it???, ‘you mustn’t put yourself in harm’s way’ / ‘i won’t’ well i’m picking up what you’re putting down corrie and there is no candy house at the end of this trail is there 🥹

most unrealistic part of abijah fowlers design to me is the fact that they believe that man would ever have pearly whites. like historical lack of care for hygiene in europe aside him? you think he takes care of his hygiene? his teeth? you think mister “i don’t shower unless i have a gun held to me whole simultaneously being hog tied and waterboarded” would use crest whitening strips? please…

[three-soulmates-askblog]

Do you guys have any bad habits that bother the others?

Note: the artist finds their handwriting more embarrassing than showing naked sketches. Maybe this is a sign they'll start polishing their posts again... Maybe not though.

K: Notice how quickly they forgot the "bad habit" part of the question

M: I love ya doll but you could stand to not be such an overbearing mom

K: excuse me?

R: hey let's move on before someone breaks something... Again

Tumblr, in 2023 for some reason:

Its user base:

[askmovieslate]

Yuck, this movie is truly retched.

What a way to start the month, with a total stink-bomb of a movie. I sure hope this isn't a tone setter for the rest of the month, because otherwise we're gonna be up Shit Creek without a paddle, let me tell ya.

It's a bummer because it actually makes the first movie kinda worse in hindsight, a movie that up until this day I considered rather great despite its flaws.

[jojacorp-official]

do you think you can hook me up with that hot emo guy in town

"And if it doesn't work, you find someone else who's actually worthy of love! No sane man would turn this down, haha."

[lucienthepsychiatrist]

I must thank you for the kind warning, showering will have to wait another day I suppose (:

[puppyboygf]

I'm always torn between "am I just defensive over my fave or do they truly Not Get It" when people dismiss Mrs Reynolds's testimony.

I saw a take recently that was like, eh, so he's nice to a handful of people, that makes him marginally less of an asshole in a perfectly common way—and it's like, uh, no, the servants and tenants and family of someone with that much power = a lot of people, actually, any or all of whom could be screwed over by his whims at any moment and never have been.

And the idea that rich, powerful landowners commonly conducted themselves with generosity and concern towards their servants and tenants is absurd. Of course they didn't! Darcy is really the only one of the love interests in Austen's novels with that kind of power, and one of the only characters of that stature to be treated favorably at all, and he only gets away with it because he's Not Like The Other Ones. Even Wickham says:

"It has often led him [Darcy] to be liberal and generous, to give his money freely, to display hospitality, to assist his tenants, and relieve the poor."

Wickham is covering his ass in case Darcy's sterling reputation catches up with him, obviously, but there is a reason that Darcy's reputation is so exceptional. There's a reason Elizabeth is surprised even by something so small as him keeping on a housekeeper who is elderly and not particularly "fine" in appearance.

On top of that, the idea that being dismissive towards strangers but a loving and scrupulous guardian to his dependent sister in particular = an everyday occurrence? Yeah, no. The trope of young women who are exploited, disregarded, or otherwise screwed over by their brothers was really common and reflected an all-too-frequent reality (as discussed by Wollstonecraft!). The reason that well-off male characters' treatment of their siblings and especially their sisters could function so easily as a metric of inner character is because it was so often not the reality.

Men in that rough position were supposed to look after the welfare and interests of dependent sisters, esp orphaned ones—but few could actually make them do it and typically they gained little if anything from doing so. Mrs Reynolds's assertion that Darcy would do anything for Georgiana and his marked affection for her and willingness to defend her, even to older relatives when Georgiana isn't there, forms a contrast not just to the likes of John Dashwood but ... like, honestly, to Edward Austen-Knight as well.

It's not that nobody was ever more like Darcy in this respect, but it was frankly not all that common, and the novel emphatically treats his scrupulous, affectionate care for Georgiana as exceptional and part of his shining reputation.

With regard to his other family members—we don't meet many of them, but Colonel Fitzwilliam's surprise at and mockery of Darcy's current behavior leads Charlotte to conclude that it "proved he[Darcy] was generally different, which her own knowledge of him could not have told her."

This of course foreshadows Darcy proving to be "different" when encountered later. It's not that Darcy's behavior is radically transformed from what's normal for him, but that it's radically transformed from what's normal for him with people outside his (large) circle of family, friends, and dependents. And Austen takes pains to show that he largely reverts back to "old" Darcy when he's uncomfortable. The point of this isn't that his change isn't real, but that it's not some unrealistic total transformation.

The way he treats Elizabeth and the Gardiners isn't alien to his previous characterization. There were always people (whether Fitzwilliam, Mrs Reynolds, whomever) he treated like that. The change is extending that "generally different" conduct to people of much less consequence than himself, but not so much less that he has any particular obligation towards them. He's able to clearly and immediately recognize the Gardiners' virtues, to go investigating a random plant with Mr Gardiner, to form a rapport that will become genuine love for them over the course of his relationship and marriage to Elizabeth.

And a man like Darcy not only marrying a woman with relations in trade, but loving those relations and bringing them to his home as honored guests, is again, not common. Some historians have argued that his choices would be wildly unlikely IRL.

So yeah, no, Darcy isn't just decent towards a few people in a common way, nor nice to the people in his life that anyone in his situation would be, nor is his grand change unprecedented for him and uncomplicated by external factors or only to be expected. In the social world he was created in, he would be an extraordinary person.
