so glad it turned out this way! @gingerteaonthetardis
it's not needed but if they ever make another p+p adaption they really need to finally add in the part after darcy's second proposal where they discuss his letter it's so underrated and it's left out of every adaption especially since I think we all need to see that scene where it's like after they talk and clear the air Liz starts feeling like herself again and immediately starts teasing darcy and shes like so :D when did u start liking me huh huh :D what was it and Mr. Cool over here wants to be all smooth and go I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun. and shes like *snorts* LAAAAAAAAMEEEEEE you liked me bc I'm the only girl that wouldn't take ur shit and he's like......... ok yes
these two keep getting gayer and gayer with each other. that’s it, that’s the post.
when taylor swift wrote "please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh i could recognize anywhere" that was a better adaptation of persuasion than Persuasion (2022)
the worst thing about trying to give every jane austen protagonist a bad carbon copy of elizabeth bennet’s judgy wit
is that not even pride & prejudice thinks that behaviour of hers is entirely a good thing?
Like?? half of lizzy’s entire character arc is realizing that her judgy wit that she always congratulated herself on was based on really shaky foundations?? because she’s not nearly as good a judge of character as she believed, and that it’s actually kind of a character flaw motivated by the TITULAR combination of faults??? that she has as much pride & prejudice as she accuses others of having? & that she needs to let go of that a bit, in order to have better relationships with the people around her???
LIKE?
Jason Isaacs also says the reason he never played a Bond villain was because he had sex with Daniel Craig onstage every night for a year.
Like that’s not the best reason to play a Bond villain that anyone could ever possibly imagine.
literally when will critics stop expecting spy movies to be good. they don’t have to be good. they have to be fun. the entire spy genre is about bisexuals having cool guns. when did we as a society stray into thinking that spy movies need a “plot”.

Billy:
things in 19th century novels that bring me an immense amount of joy
- a passive aggressive pianoforte moment
- any country dance scene
- flower symbolism
- the love interest telling the heroine he loves her mid panic attack
- a women rejecting a marriage proposal from a man she hates
- hands
- when lore gets dropped via letter
- and, most importantly, the First Name Drop™
must a movie have a plot. is it not enough to put a scottish twink in a period outfit with a half a can of mousse in hair and ask him to playfully smirk while a woman reads him to filth for 2 hours
And what qualifies you to offer this advice? I know more of the world. Ha, a great deal more, I gather.
Just love me. Do you love me?

I too would love for James McAvoy to read to me Victorian Smut while slowly approaching me & hold an intense eye contact while reading the last word “Ecstasy”
