I know that pretty much everyone agrees that the Netflix adaption of "Persuasion" was terrible, but do you have an opinion on the other adaptions? I haven't watched any of the Persuasion movies, so I was wondering which one is the best/most faithful.
My personal favourite is the 1971 BBC adaptation (you can find it free online). Once you get over the hair, it's nice that with a full mini series the story has room to breath. And lots of my favourite character, Sir Walter!
Persuasion 1995 is the most popular, it is very well acted and manages to condense the story well into movie length. I enjoyed it as well.
Persuasion 2007 is okay. I think it has the hottest Wentworth (personal preference) but it does have some flaws, most importantly, the Bath Marathon and the longest, most awkward kiss of all time. Also, implied at the end that Wentworth bought Kellynch? (literally impossible)
Honestly, they are all pretty good, except for 2022...
I have not watched the webseries or any modern adaptations to my knowledge, if anyone wants to recommend those please let me know!

I think that I've only drawn Ford like. 3 times in my entire life. so here's some Fordsy (and some Fiddsy. and a Bill I guess)
[image description: a page of drawings of ford, mcgucket, and bill cipher from gravity falls. near the top are two portraits of ford, one in the gravity falls style and the other in a more realistic style. next to that is a simple doodle of ford and mcgucket smiling and embracing with the caption "old man yaoi!" beneath them. in the bottom left is a simple drawing of a younger ford, and next to that is a drawing of bill with a speech bubble saying "i'm here too! also i'm hatless for spacing reasons". next to that is bill's hat, as well as mcgucket in an orange and brown 70s-style outfit and a braided beard, and he is sitting on the ground, lost in thought. end id]

Heyyyyy I'm fully in love with your itty bittys au. The name, the concept, the art etc. But you might want to change the name because apparently "itty bittys" is the tag for small breasts. You could imagine looking for fan art of a children's show and getting bombarded with nudes is a little startling.
(Btw I love your overly affectionate uncle jorgon so much! May we have some more of jorgon just being affectionate and silly?)
ITS A TAG FOR WHAT. HUH. WHAT. OUGH.
This knowledge has haunted me for weeks. Ever since I got this ask. It’s too late to fix that now. They’re just. Itty Bitty for me :(
ANYWAYS!!!! Jorgen!!! Jorgen loves his nephews. They like being launched from his biceps when he flexed them. Or, well, Timmy likes being launched. Peri, not so much. But Peri’s NOT a crybaby about it!!! He’s being VERY very brave!!!!
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]

I'm rewatching The Clone Wars, just finished "Clone Cadets."
Shaak Ti observes "The one they call 'Echo' never adapts to the situation," and she's right at that point; but I couldn't help but immediately think of (insert "Spongebob Hmm" meme)...
(Okay, the above was a little shaky, but he recovered very nicely...)
Add in Hunter and Crosshair both being all "Echo will come through" and "Relax, Echo's on it" and I'm just LOOK AT MY BOY!!!!! 🥹😍❤️

Another Digimon often seen in Aurora's setting, Seadramon
These large aquatic serpents are another common inhabitants of the Digital World, and can be found in various bodies of water, from rivers and lakes to seas and oceans.
They're excellent swimmers, unsurprisingly, and can dive to impressive depths. A very noticeable feature all Seadramon possess is the metal helmet-like armor on their heads, which is a part of their body, something observed pretty often in many different Digimon species, where various metals and minerals grow naturally on them. The beak and fins of the helmet keep growing with age, and it loses its shine the older the serpent gets.
They also come in a variety of colors, though the most common ones are blues and greens with white undersides, and red tailfins and jaw markings. Purple, grey and white of various hues were observed, along with some minor differences in appearance, which is attributed to different habitats. There have been cases of Seadramon found with bioluminescence, those who seem to prefer living in caves or at greater depths - another trait of Digimon - fast evolving adaptation - compared to any life forms of Earth. They can breathe on land, but they're slow and somewhat clumsy, moving around with the help of their front flippers and powerful tails.
Seadramon, though not all, are known to be more dangerous and territorial than some other Digimon humans encountered, and are somewhat prone to attacking without asking questions first. Any smaller Digimon or animal, including humans, are potentially on the menu, as Seadramon are near-exclusive carnivores, though mostly hunt fish and other aquatic life forms. Digimon can be sought after as a source of pure energy, rather than food. They attack by strangling their opponents and dragging them underwater if they can drown, or breathing out a cone of frost and ice.
Despite this, several non-partnered ones are known to work on Earth, in the organization alongside humans and other Digimon, namely helping with marine biology research, human-Digimon tech development, and issues like climate change and pollution. Later on, as Digimon become more publicly known, they take on the roles of helping in cases of natural disasters, sinking ships, and also patrol of coastal lines in case of aquatic hostile Digimon appearance, as well.
