Every single odd number has an “e” in it.

Wow! Cool!

i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, “one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

because, like, that’s the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isn’t it?

a dude being willing to say, “i understand if you don’t feel the same way about me, and i’ll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.”

so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency

and dudes to this day wonder why women still swoon over darcy

Note also: Elizabeth turns down Darcy’s first proposal, and in the process, accuses him of doing some stuff he did not do (and also some stuff he totally did).

The next day, he surprises her on her walk. He hands her a letter, asks that she read it, and then takes off.

When this happened to me after I had turned someone down IN REAL LIFE, the letter contained a passionate argument to the tune of “actually you’re wrong and you do like me and you should go out with me” and it was creepy af.

Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth starts with: “Be not alarmed, Madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you”. He goes on to set the record straight about the stuff he didn’t do (as well as the stuff he did) which is *actually relevant* to Elizabeth. And he, as promised, doesn’t romance her further.

It’s totally bizarre that even now, this can be considered unusually great dude behaviour.

Darcy’s first proposal: “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

Darcy’s second proposal: “One word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

His whole arc in the book is about learning to consider other people’s feelings and not just his own, but the fact that it’s expressed via who gets to talk and who is told to shut up is so, so telling. The first time around, he imposes his voice on her whether she wants it or not. The second time, he asks how she feels, and in exchange, offers her the gift of his silence.

And yeah, the fact that dudes still! have! not! learned! this! lesson! is exhausting.

How surprising is it that Pride and Prejudice was written by a woman, when many romantic comedies are produced and directed by men?

Answer: not at all

200 years later and the world is still full of guys who think they’re a Mr Darcy when they’re actually a Mr Collins.

……..

They’ve played this ad everywhere in Denmark for the past three years, I never knew there was an English version of it. Every single Dane in the world has seen this at least once. I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone rn

It's been shown in the UK as well, there are variations of it such as one where a sheep farmer who is shearing his sheep shears his dog. Peak advertising

I have been waiting all year to post this.

omg

This has been in my queue for months.

I missed it last year and I vowed that would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

YES

omg i didnt reblog this last year!

I remember one time I was working for a farm and we supplied produce for a bunch of local extremely fancy + expensive restaurants, and the restaurants themselves had wasteful demands, like only produce of a certain exact shape etc. strictly for aesthetic purposes

and one day they wanted to advertise that they source locally so they sent all their chefs to our farm and took photos of the chefs pulling carrots and whatever else out of the ground, all smiles and laughing together, and for the hours they walked around our fields and we watched them, not a single one of them so much as made eye contact with us while we worked around them.

none of them were interested in our jobs, our names, how the farm ran, or how we actually did the work they were pretending to do.

not sure exactly what my message is here, but this experience stuck with me.

Like there's a disconnect between farmers and consumers, how its seen as a commodity, just another product to be marketed and sold.

So you know how you love me because you haven’t had a single meeting with anyone since I became your assistant? That’s because every time someone calls and requests a meeting with you, I always schedule it for March 31st.

Meanwhile I'm struggling to hold down 1, one, job 😂

You go you funky lil Satan Child
