If Mr. Collins can girl boss so can you
The craziest thing about Austen is she fully admits that being officious and shameless works! Mr. Collins got that amazing living from Lady Catherine for free, Lucy got Robert Ferrars and his fortune, it is strongly hinted that Mrs. Clay would have succeeded with Sir Walter if she had stuck with it...
The question that she poses instead is, "Was it worth it and who will you become?"
You cannot pursue wealth and status with your entire soul and come out the other side unscathed.
I need this man groveling
We’re all in agreement that seeing Penelope for the first time when he returns to London in season 3, is going to take Colin Bridgerton’s breath away, right?
Just checking.
I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.
Downton Abbey: don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and someone will die (maybe you)
Game of Thrones: don't have sex, because you will get pregnant and your whole family will die
Outlander: might as well have sex, sure you will get pregnant and plenty of people will die, but the situations will at least be entirely unrelated. have sex in the missionary position. have sex standing up. have sex outdoors in the scottish highlands. have sex on a ship. have sex in a stable. have dangerously acrobatic sex in a window. have sex on top of some pushed-together crates in the hours before the battle of monmouth.
I’m joining you on that hill
To all Oncers, do we think David Nolan aka Prince Charming is illiterate? Like he has to be without a doubt. All that’s stopping it from being canon is one person on the show saying so
British actor who was born in September 1960 and plays in a gay period drama in the 80s, many romantic leads in the 90s including a Jane Austen adaptation in 1995, a love interest in Bridget Jones and Love Actually, and later in their career, a gay guy in the 60s whose lover is one of the guys from Brideshead Revisited (2008). Now this could be either Hugh Grant or Colin Firth—
