Idk how to describe it, but George Emerson and Mr Darcy are on exact opposite ends of romantic lead spectrum yet both possess insane amounts of autistic swag just executed in wildly different ways
Rip Jane Austen you would have loved tumblr
Forgive me.
Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright
When I first read Pride and Prejudice I was 14 and couldn't care less. Now, three years later I find myself completely engrossed in this book. I cannot believe my attachment to Lizzy and Mr Darcy. My overpowering interest in the novel does not cease to surprise me
You weren't born bisexual, you chose to read Pride & Prejudice and fell in love with both Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy
"you held her hand ungloved? what, you gave her a lap dance too?"
I'M SO PROUD OF THIS ONE it's my first time trying out semi-realistic art and I just had to do an iconic scene that lives in my head rent free.
when you want to be elizabeth but you're actually darcy
PRIDE & PREJUDICE (2005)
Currently dreaming of Mr.Darcy
Me at almost midnight watching the pride and prejudice (2005) movie for the millionth time when I had an epiphany.
This scene:
"So what would you recommend, to encourage affection?"
"Dancing. "
Later on followed by this scene:
"May I have the next dance Miss Elizabeth?"
"You may. "
HE WAS ENCOURAGING AFFECTION
BONUS:
Two of my favorite things being paralleled in quotes? What a treat!!
“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”
Lucien watched the ever-young forest. “Isn’t that what all human women wish for? A handsome faerie lord to wed and shower them with riches for the rest of their lives?”
"From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry."
Her mouth tightened, the only sign of anger in her graceful countenance. “I don’t want a mate. I don’t want a male.”
I dare say you will find him amiable.
“He is a good male,” I repeated.
"It would be most inconvenient since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity"
She just ignored him or barely spoke to him until he got the hint and left
He's been a fool about so many things, about Jane, and others... but then, so have I. You see, he and I are so similar.
How Lucien withstood it, I didn’t know. Not that he’d shown any interest in bridging that gap between them.
but I said, “You couldn’t say a single word to him? A pleasant greeting?” Elain only stared at the steaming kettle as she set it on the stone counter.
"You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April...."
Elain only shrank further into herself,
tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.
Cassian’s heart strained at the pain etching deep into Lucien’s face as he tried to hide his disappointment and longing.
But she doesn't like him. I thought she didn't like him.
"She has no interest in him anyway"
SJM loves P&P which in it's simplist form is two characters who develop misconceptions about the other upon their initial meeting. Who can't help but being drawn together throughout the book but refuse to admit it due to their own stubbornness. As a result they either act indifferent and push the other away (Elizabeth) or suffer in silence with longing (Darcy).
It's weird that people know of her love for this movie / book and how everyone in it believed Elizabeth greatly disliked Darcy (up until the end) yet they still act like Elain's indifference towards Lucien is a bad thing.
You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you. You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright
So it turns out putting wood varnish on cheap plastic frames actually works amazingly
Who knew 🤷♀️
I'd rather sit in silence with you than have thousands of conversations with other people.
Why is it always 'ILY' and never 'You have bewitched me; body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.'
Here's a list of characters I love in fiction but hate in real life because some people are getting a little too serious
Tony Stark- MCU
Steve- Troll Hunters
Snotlout- How To Train Your Dragon
Greg House- House
James Potter- Harry Potter/Marauders
Matthew Murdock- Daredevil
Fitzwilliam Darcy- Pride and Prejudice
Tony Dinozzo- NCIS
There are probably more honestly. I love these characters and will defend them in an argument, but fiction does not equal reality
"I wanted to be loved so desperately that my fingers shook with it, I am not beautiful but I could be" ― Emily Palermo
no YOU live in a society i live in this frame of pride and prejudice
‘Pride and Prejudice’ is a beautiful book which is hilariously written. It is a very social novel. The different matters of society explained in this novel is very much relatable to my own society. The errors and doings of the society then has been shown hilariously. The whole novel was arranged systemically and has represented the situations of women in the society.
I enjoyed the conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Bennets in the first chapter. It represents how passionate the mothers were (still are in some societies) to get their daughters married to any fortunate, wealthy men. And the mothers kept competing with the others of their kind for this reason. And it was also not very uncommon that as much as they were in favor of those wealthy men, they were also very suspicious of them in every little matter.
There is soo much things to say about the plot of the novel but i am afraid that i am going to spoil it and I want to keep my review spoiler free as much as possible. thus explaining this book is actually explaining the characters I think.
The character ‘Elizabeth’ reminds me of the character ‘Jo March’ from ‘Little Women’. She is very sensible woman.
Mr. Darcy isn’t the particular kind of hero that I like but certainly his character is very interesting. He is a great critics that I must admit. Some mechanical conversations of Mr. Darcy made me laugh. At first it seemed to me that there was a great change in Mr. Darcy’s character and disposition after falling in love with Elizabeth. Then I realized maybe those were always there but only concealed and waiting for a chance to be shown to only his dearest one and none else. Elizabeth’s and Darcy’s characters are similar as both of them are somewhat really awkward in front of the society and that is one of the best part of the novel other than the social humors.
To me the character of Mrs. Bennet is very funny. But the character of Miss Bingley is the funniest and was soo much needed in the book.
I disliked the character of Mr. Collins. He seems to me that kind of person who lacks individuality of his own. Lady Catherine is just the kind of old lady who interferes in almost every business of other people.
The character Jane is soo sympathetic and kind. The part where jane’s mental condition was emotionally unstable was really touching. The relationship between Jane and Elizabeth is soo sweet and it is kind of like the relationship between me and my sister. They share each others happiness and sorrows soo comfortably.
Mary is a bookish nerd which I liked very much. She is literally out of everything but her books. But she is a little bit inattentive towards her family but that’s okay because she has her own mechanical way of thinking. Lydia is very cheerful, talkative and silly. Kitty’s and Lydia’s character in the book were almost the same.
This novel perfectly represents some states of human behavior such as agitation other than Pride and Prejudice of course. I highly recommend this book to everyone because this novel is so natural and relatable. But the plot and the matters happening in this novel are a little bit plainer. The story is little shorter and limited. I expected some more side plots. But in the whole, the novel is very good and it felt soo realistic to me.
"Girls want Mr. Darcy" yeah but freaks want David Cronenburg's Crash (1996) on blu-ray
I just finished reading Pride and Prejudice and I- my heart can’t take all the love it’s all just so beautiful I would really appreciate it if someone could rant with me about it all...
Me: pft love isn’t real it doesn’t exist
Also Me: Watches pride and prejudice 2005 ending and cries, Cries while reading Jane Eyre, Heart melts when Anne and Gilbert speak, reads every Jane Austen novel and imagines myself as the protagonist, Cries at the ending of the phantom of the opera chanting my angel of music why, Ends up day dreaming about me ending up with someone like Mr. Darcy, Gilbert Blythe, or Henry Tilney, heart melts at the reading of shakespeare, ends up getting sad over bronte sister novels
Me: Yeah love is dumb -begins to sniffle-
I’m watching pride and prejudice for the first time and as I saw Mr. Darcy I felt as if I had seen him before. After long watching and careful consideration, I had a sudden thought and I knew where I had seen such an unpleased frown mixed with such challenged emotions before : Miles Edgeworth, prosecutor of the Ace Attorney franchise.
It fits so perfect. In Phoenix we find the strong willed and free spirited protagonist that is Elizabeth Bennet. Thus I must insist on a Pride and Prejudice AU of Ace Attorney.
As such it all begins with Pride and Prejudice, doesn’t it?
I think it's the third year in a row i've had to relearn Darcy's law because i keep forgetting the equation, because i read the name and i instantly think "Oh yes Darcy of course i know of him i haven't had the pleasure of being introduced but i hear he has over 10000 a year"
#women in stem i guess
(anyway i'm failing fluid mecanics)
Spending my Saturday painting flowers for my bestie with Mr Darcy.
