The OG tortured poet

It's taking every fiber of my being to resist using a Gilmore Girls quote in my honors thesis

there should be a thing like sick days but for when it’s just too nice outside . sorry can’t come in i’m busy smelling the flowers and soaking up the sun

Fanny Price reminds me of Cinderella(specifically the og Disney version) in that both girls suffered abuse, tried to make the best of their situation and remained kind despite their circumstances, yet have been viewed as weak for not fighting back or leaving their situation.

Totally! It's so strange. Fanny Price cannot do anything to improve her situation or she might be sent back home. She's been told that staying at Mansfield is the best thing for her, so she endures. She's even been instructed to be grateful for what meagre things she is given. What can she do? Where else can she go? It's not like she has any power to improve her life, she's entirely dependant. She does have a meek personality to begin with, but she has no other option but continue to be that way.

What is Cinderella supposed to do? Run away as a woman with no money in the medieval era? Her home is horrible but at least it's relatively safe and usually she's being forced to work but not physically abused. This is why we have shelters and escape programs nowadays, because figuring out how to get away from a situation like this is really difficult. Difficult for an adult, harder for a dependant child (not sure what her age is supposed to be and it varies).

If Fanny Price acted like Elizabeth Bennet, there would probably have been no story because Mrs. Norris would have demanded she be sent home and she'd have died along with her sister Mary.

as if I can stomach anything that isn't a fruity little cocktail, only drink chai lattes, and am in asleep by 11pm every night

I just rewatched the Little Mermaid (2023), and I am again impressed how they managed to really not sexualize Ariel at all, despite her being a mermaid/siren and half naked for a lot of the movie.

Eric on the other hand? Absolute SLUT

Did you see the sheer amount of wet/torn/see-through shirt scenes? The yearning? The sexual overtones of Uncharted Waters? This movie really said female gaze and I am here for it

So...Um, I think I may have a type...

The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

Hey guys! I'm just letting you all know that I won't be active that much today.

Me and a bunch of psychos on Tumblr are celebrating the death of some old Roman politician.

merry ides of march

Till death do us part? Yea no you’re not getting out of this that easily

When their entire relationship is toxic, but they're both so fucked up that it's actually the best case scenario, because subjecting anybody else to either of them would be a human rights violation.

I always put funny little notes and drawings into my class notes so that my depressed studying-for-finals self will see them and be cheered

Jane Austen heroines exist on a sliding scale of "You are always right, and no one ever listens to you" (Fanny Price) to "You are never right, and everyone always listens to you" (Emma Woodhouse.)

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,

As of some one gently flapping, flapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some fairy,” I muttered, “slapping at my chamber door—

            Only this and nothing more.”

I've been analyzing my personal fashion sense and I think it's a mashup of dark academia, 2014 tumblr, and 90's rom com protagonist
