Jane Austen: so, you go to Mr Collins' house and Elizabeth is there alone. She welcomes you politely, but she looks---troubled.

Colonel Fitzwilliam: and of course she does, after everything I said to her-

Fitzwilliam Darcy: do I sense if she is mad at me specifically or it is just her headache?

Jane Austen: roll an Investigation Check.

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *grimacing* it's a three.

Jane Austen: just her headache.

Caroline Bingley: *derisively* she only looks like she wants to stab you, Darcy.

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *shrugs* I guess I am too nervous to really give her a proper look.

Jane Austen: what do you do next?

Fitzwilliam Darcy: well, I-I tell her, "In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

Jane Austen: Elizabeth blushes. She is absolutely stunned.

Georgiana Darcy: that is good, right? Right?

Fitzwilliam Darcy: I tell her that even if her family is--not ideal-

Charles Bingley: *making a face*

Caroline Bingley: *playfully disgusted frown* and I made my character romance you?

Fitzwilliam Darcy: -and I might be acting impulsively, I just have to let her know that I love her. That's it.

**Silence**

Jane Austen: *smacks her lips* okay-

Charles Bingley: *histerical laughter* I don't like the way you said it-

Colonel Fitzwilliam: it's an immediate natural one, yes? Please tell me it's immediate.

Georgiana Darcy: shhhh!

Jane Austen: give me a Persuasion Check-let me tell you, you have to roll very high.

Fitzwilliam Darcy: figures-very well-

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *beat*

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *flatly* natural one.

Colonel Fitzwilliam: JUSTICE!

Jane Austen: *claps her hands* you make your grand love confession, but Elizabeth stops you and immediately rejects you.

Fitzwilliam Darcy: ouch.

Jane Austen: she tells you that she could never marry the person that hurt her sister and destroyed Wickham's future-

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *dawning horror* I had forgotten they had talked, fuck-

Jane Austen: and, finally-

Charles Bingley: there is more? He is already dead-

Jane Austen: Elizabeth looks at you dead in the eye and says: "From the very beginning—from the first moment, I may almost say—of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry."

Fitzwilliam Darcy: damn.

Caroline Bingley: *dying of laughter under the table*

Charles Bingley: I do not know if I can resurrect you after that.

Georgiana Darcy: I knew it, I should have given you Bardic Inspiration-

Trying to sleep and was looking at books and that eventually led me to think of Pride and Prejudice and yk what moment we need to appreciate more?

That scene where Caroline is doing her pick me shit and joking with Darcy about Elizabeth's pretty eyes and she's like when you guys get your marriage portrait done do you think any painter could do her eyes justice?

And our boy Fitzy doesn't even HESITATE he's like I think a painter would do a great job at getting her eyelashes and the way they look in the sunlight and it's just like

MY GUY HAD U ALREADY BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT??? U HAD THE ANSWER LOCKED AND LOADED WERE U ON YE OLDE GOOGLE LOOKING UP WEDDING PORTRAIT ARTISTS NEAR ME??? DID U HAVE A REGENCY ERA PINTERST BOARD OF UR DREAM WEDDING TO LIZZY ALREADY MADE UP????

#its even funnier bc this is the stage where hes like i don't LOVE Elizabeth Bennet i just think she's attractive #meanwhile he has wedding planner and caterer contacts scribbled and kept on a piece of paper in his pocket #he also writes mr. Elizabeth Bennet in his journal a thousand times before bed #pride and prejudice #caroline bingley #fitzwilliam darcy #elizabeth bennet #jane austen

For a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Yes, he must indeed! And who better than one of our five girls?

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".

#I fundamentally oppose “charles hates caroline” narratives #charles' heart is full of love and it uses caroline's hard edges to play parkour #and caroline loves him too #under that heavy layer of disdain lies a hard core of affection #“i just want you to take things more seriously charlie”#they're very different #they're not friends #but they have a sibling bond #charles bingley #caroline bingley #mr darcy #pride and prejudice #jane austen

Hello, i want to ask about an exchange in Pride and Prejudice between Darcy and Miss Bingley about "fine eyes". Why did Darcy tell Caroline ? I know by "he was thinking of her with some complacency" that he is saying the truth but why did he tell her?And what does "great intrepidity" mean? I am SO confused

In context, Caroline is trying to establish a sense of rapport and bonding between herself and Darcy as part of her general pursuit of him. In this scene, she's emphasizing her familiarity and understanding of him by telling him that she knows what he's thinking. Darcy warns her that she probably doesn't. Caroline then vents her own feelings of contempt that she assumes he shares (not altogether irrationally, though she does completely ignore his reply) and emphasizes their total agreement.

Her attempts are generally pretty transparent, and undoubtedly are very obvious to Darcy here. His reactions to Caroline seem to range from "she's a somewhat irritating but at least familiar and tolerable fellow hater" to "something between sardonic amusement at her expense and active annoyance" to "I am genuinely offended." I think at this point that he's not seriously offended, but does find the whole maneuver pretty contemptible and annoying.

Basically, revealing that he's thinking of something entirely different—the pleasantness of a pretty woman's "fine eyes"—directly rejects Caroline's attempt to claim rapport through understanding him without providing specifics. Caroline does not really pick up on the implicit rejection of what she's trying to do, and deliberately fixes her eyes on him, clearly hoping for some hint that he's referring to her and this is an elaborate form of flirtation. Darcy's identification of the woman with fine eyes as Elizabeth immediately shuts that down.

We know that Darcy will be concerned about the possibility that he's led Elizabeth on after their Netherfield debates, in a way that's both comically arrogant in terms of their actual interactions and severely principled in terms of his sense of appropriate conduct towards women. So I tend to think what's going on here is a mixture of feeling it would be pretty shitty to let Caroline imagine he was thinking about her while, at the same time, being simply annoyed with her.

The "great intrepidity" is tongue-in-cheek, I think—to be intrepid is to be daring and unconcerned with danger. So on the literal level, Darcy is being very daring in revealing his (low-grade at this point) attraction to Elizabeth to Caroline, someone who will obviously be hostile to the idea and be petty and annoying about it. The tongue-in-cheek aspect is that this is all honestly pretty trivial at this point and the only danger at hand is Caroline being slightly shitty. I think it's later suggested that Darcy didn't realize at the time just how irritating this would be, so in terms of his consciousness of danger, the "daring" here is ... real as far as it goes, but the stakes are comically low for him.

Caroline Bingley: Charles, are you seriously considering the idea of a ball here at Netherfield? Because you might want to consider other's (Darcy's) opinions before giving your consent to it. There are others (Darcy) who are not that keen on dancing, and they (Darcy) might get bored-

Charles Bingley: *pointedly* if Darcy thinks so he can go to bed before the ball begins, Caroline-I am having fun.

@bethanydelleman I have been thinking of Caroline Bingley now (a most unpleasant topic) and people with elaborate revenge fantasies for her, and it seems to me that she already ends up in a bad place in the book. She put all her eggs in the Darcy basket and he marries someone else. She spent a lot of time following him and Bingely around and we don't know what possible marriage opportunities or relationships she is missing out on, but I would not be surprised if she did miss out on them. She goes to great effort to run off Jane and loses there too. So now she is unmarried, in close company with the guy she likes and her romantic rival, and the country bumpkins she despises are now her relatives. A lot of bad has already happened to her.

Okay, so I have had this idea for a crack pairing, and I need to share it.

The year is 1816. Napoleon has been exiled on Saint Helena and mainland Europe is once again safe to travel. Caroline Bingley, her sister Louisa Hurst, and her brother-in-law Mr. Hurst decide to summer in the Carpathian Mountains, which have been relatively untouched by the recent conflicts. While there mingling with the local nobility at a ball, Caroline meets Count Vlad Dracula. The two marry after a short courtship where others applaud the suitability of the pairing of Caroline’s fortune and Count Dracula’s land and title.

Caroline arrives at her new husband’s castle for the first time and finds it a mess, but Caroline Dracula is not to be daunted. With all the experience of a woman who has been assisting her brother in his estate running for years prior to his marriage, Caroline sets about getting the castle in tip-top shape. New furniture and upholstery is ordered, stonework is repaired, and styles are updated. If the Count is adverse to these updates, Caroline is not inclined to notice. She is mistress of the house now, she need not consult her husband in its appointment.

Dracula is puzzled by the reactions of his new wife. When she encounters his wolves, she refuses to be frightened and simply cites her prior experience with her brother’s hunting dogs as she tells the wolves to heel, and they actually listen to her. If he crawls about the walls, she chides him for his behavior, saying that he is displaying a lack of manners. No matter what he does, though either a self-centered obliviousness or a prideful and bossy manner that refuses to accept that she might be less than prepared for anything, Caroline will not be frightened by Dracula. The Count is at a complete loss for how to handle her.

Anyway, time passes, hijinks happen, and eventually Count Dracula falls in love with his Countess and ends up changing to conform to her. The two possible endings that I see for this are that either Caroline remains completely oblivious to what her husband is for her entire life or she becomes a vampire and the two of them terrorize the country as equals.

The end.

#Caroline Bingley #Count Dracula #Dracula #Jane Austen #Pride and Prejudice #This is very silly.#I have gone full galaxy brain and I cannot be stopped.
