historical inaccuracies in period dramas are okay as long as i like them
they are, however, punishable by death if i don’t
so i was rewatching pride and prejudice the 1995 version and just have to make this
literally i just can’t comprehend any interpretation of hamlet that doesn’t put grief at the center like. hamlet’s father died and he is actively grieving throughout the play that is the driver of all of his behavior. “is hamlet actually crazy or is he putting on a performance” is a boring question to me because grief is a type of insanity. grief makes you feel like you are performing even when you are all alone. it makes you feel like you’re seeing things it makes you feel completely alone it makes you cling to the people around you it makes you push them away it makes you angry and sad and hamlet wants to kill claudius for replacing his father and taking his mother from him as much as he wants to kill him for revenge.

Elizabeth Bennet: I went to Accomplished Woman Island and nobody there knew you. In fact it was uninhabited.
Darcy: Correction, you were there.
Your reproof, so well applied, I shall never forget: ‘Had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner.’ Those were your words. You know not, you can scarcely conceive, how they have tortured me; though it was some time, I confess, before I was reasonable enough to allow their justice.”

From the text, one can imagine that being a GENTLEMAN was a core identity and source of pride for Darcy, and Elizabeth unknowingly hit him right where it hurt.
This is exactly the right mood for post-propsal Darcy.

Digital painting study of Fragonard’s The Progress of Love: Love Letters but then switched out the characters to my favorite ineffable duo!
Why the Miniature Matters
Elizabeth learns a lot about Darcy from her tour of Pemberley, but one very vital piece of information is that Darcy has left his father’s study in its original state including a miniature of Wickham. As Mrs. Reynolds says,
“This room was my late master’s favourite room, and these miniatures are just as they used to be then. He was very fond of them.”
The miniature is not just there so that Mrs. Reynolds can tell us that Wickham turned out wild, it is a strong proof that Wickham was lying. This is from Ch 14:
“But what,” said she, after a pause, “can have been his motive? what can have induced him to behave so cruelly?”
“A thorough, determined dislike of me—a dislike which I cannot but attribute in some measure to jealousy. Had the late Mr. Darcy liked me less, his son might have borne with me better; but his father’s uncommon attachment to me irritated him, I believe, very early in life. He had not a temper to bear the sort of competition in which we stood—the sort of preference which was often given me.”
If Darcy actually resented his father’s love of Wickham to this extent, he would have destroyed the miniature. He also may not have even preserved the study as a memorial to his father (though he might have out of family pride). Darcy preserving the miniature proves that he loved his father more than he hated Wickham and that he respected his father’s desires. He keeps his father’s favourite miniatures even after Wickham attempted to elope with Georgiana.
There is absolutely no way that a man who kept Wickham’s miniature in honour of his father would have shirked his father’s favourite out of his inheritance.
I'm going to have a lot of fun with the Barbie Selfie Generator
#reblogging this again bc op was hit by the apollo prophecy dodgeball - @asterionides
I just watched Barbie.
You're laughing. I'm still hurting from being hit by apollo's dodgeball and you're laughing.
the whole reason why darcy and elizabeth work as a couple is that they're both haters. they are such petty bitches. all they want to do is stand in the corner at the ball snickering at everybody like statler and waldorf. the fact that the nearly insurmountable barrier of elizabeth being from a slightly lower strata of the landed gentry is overcome by their mutual love of snark is just so beautiful to me
This is true, but Darcy is far more of a hater. Elizabeth loves being around people even if she finds them ridiculous.
This is also why Darcy and Caroline Bingley hang out though. Now I'm wondering if in an alternate universe she and Lizzie could have been friends.
So I've been pondering on how the Darcy-Bingley friendship came to be for a while, and like most people, I imagine that it was Bingley driven. I have now decided that when Bingley met Darcy - haughty, moody, catty man - he either unconsciously or explicitly reminded him of Caroline. "I must befriend him, he feels like home".
