i do have to hand it to the actors on the monster show, especially the two brothers. they were appropriately over-the-top and silly when they were supposed to be, and they were both given their time to let the characters be legitimately emotional and sympathetic. they also pulled off some difficult acting jiu-jitsu during the trial testimony that was really strange but effective. in recreating those moments, they were imitating real emotional anguish from the real brothers, but narratively in the show, it's fake and forced. so it had to be recognizable as a recreation of the real testimony, and believable enough for the courtroom characters to buy it, but also juuuust at the edge of being over-the-top where we as the audience can tell they're forcing it. it's like a level of meta-acting. very strange. the actor playing lyle especially was phenomenal at it.
hang on child, mama needs to finish that 20k word fanfiction
A reminder that in the first trial, the prosecution rested it case without a single expert witness other than Dr Oziel. Usually the prosecution would have expert witnesses to present an alternative version of the defense's case. The fact that they couldn't find anyone, speaks volumes
i love how a big part of elizabeth bennet’s character is that she is obviously very smart, she is very observant, but she can easily be led astray by her preconceived notions, by things that she already has convinced herself of believing. and this is most obvious by her not seeing mr. darcy’s proposal coming at all, because girl that man was openly flirting with her. i don’t think this is shown a lot in the movie or the tv series, but he keeps teasing her, answering her witty remarks with a smile, the whole “i am not afraid of you” thing. like, charlotte saw it coming, colonel fitzwilliam definitely saw it coming, the gardiners knew as soon as they saw them together later in the book, mr darcy was not as subtle as he thought he was being
seriously, god bless you jane austen for giving us this romance of two fucking idiots constantly misunderstanding each other’s actions and intentions. god bless you for giving us mr “aha so like what do you think of your friend’s marriage? you wouldn’t mind living away from your family when you marry right? oh, no reason, no reason, just a random thought. and what do you think of rosings, you know if hypothetically you were ever a guest there, no, no reason hehe”, and miss “i wonder why i keep coming across mr darcy during my walks, i even made sure to tell him that this is where i usually take my walks so he can avoid me but we are still??? running into each other???? and he keeps asking me all these strange questions too, what a weirdo”
just, two idiots that were made for each other
I need him in a way that is concerning to Catholicism
