Okay answer me this because I am genuinely confused
Everyone in the world seems convinced that Jo is in love with Laurie in Little Women
But when I read Little Women, it seemed pretty clear to me that she wasn't, what with her constantly thinking of Laurie as her best friend and then later her brother and then thinking to herself all the time, "I really hope Laurie isn't in love with me because I'm not in love with him and I would never be able to return his feelings because I don't see him that way and I don't want to hurt him"
When he proposes to her she's in a lot of pain because she knows where this is going and what she'll have to say to him, but people say, "Wow so romantic she rejects him even though she's still in love with him!!!"
When was she ever in love with him?!? Where tf did that come from in your brains??? I do not understand it
Not to mention that Jo is based on Louisa May herself and Laurie is based on someone who she viewed as her nephew/son in real life
And when Jo meets Mr. Bhaer she falls in love with him quite quickly and recognizes that feeling as being in love
Why are people so insistent that Jo loves Laurie when every piece of evidence I've been able to find goes against it? For real I'm genuinely confused and would love an answer beyond "Well it's obvious!"
#is this a dracula situation?#academia said that and people just believed it even though it's nowhere in the book?#or do people just want jo and laurie to get together so badly that they read that into the story and convinced themselves it was real?#little women#louisa may alcott#jo and laurie#jo march#josephine march#laurie laurence#theodore laurence#theodore laurie laurence

HRH Princess Anne talks about her new Rustler 44 yacht and love of sailing in Scotland
Article from Yachting World, published 4th December 2014
Elaine Bunting asks Royal Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence which are their favourite Scottish cruising grounds when they sail their Rustler 44 Ballochbuie.
Scotland is no easy cruising ground. The weather can change quickly. Reaching the more distant islands requires a certain toughness as well as skill, especially if sailing double-handed, as The Princess Royal Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence usually do aboard their new Rustler 44 Ballochbuie. This is ‘black run’ cruising.
Their favourite places are the more remote islands and anchorages. “To be honest, if we get north of Ardnamurchan it suddenly feels different, and if you go north of Skye other boats almost disappear, and although there are some based up at Ullapool and Stornoway, they are rare,” says Princess Anne.
Asked about some of the places they like to visit, they first mention the island of Coll. “We’ve got some friends who live there,” says Sir Tim, adding: “though is not the most hospitable and the anchorages there are a little bit variable.”
“But it is pretty impressive at certain times of the year,” adds Princess Anne, “particularly up at the northern end, the Cairns of Coll. The northern end is rocky and the southern end is a bit more agricultural and there are lots of geese in the winter. Actually, winter is probably more entertaining – you get snipe and woodcock as well.”
At the mention of anchorages, Sir Tim gets up and goes below to Ballochbuie’s navigation table to retrieve a document that runs to several pages of A4 paper. This is a list of all the places he and Princess Anne have been to during their years of sailing the two Rustlers.
It is a very impressive and comprehensive list stretching from Rathlin Island off the north coast of Northern Ireland as far north as Cape Wrath at the north-western tip of Scotland. The scores of anchorages are carefully listed and account for some challenging pilotage and difficult nooks and crannies. But they seem to enjoy exploring new – and preferably out of the way – spots.
“We haven’t kept a record of how many miles we’ve sailed, but we have kept a record of the anchorages,” says Sir Tim, to which the Princess adds: “Every trip we added one anchorage we hadn’t been to before, at least, and usually two or three. Even if you are going over the same ground there are still places to be found, though fish farms are a bit of a menace. There are places we used to anchor in Bloodhound that you can’t get to now.”
The wildlife and sea life are something they both mention. “We see quite a lot of basking sharks, particularly between Coll and Tiree,” says Princess Anne. “Once I lost count at about 25. That was extraordinary.”
Princess Anne recalls: “We had a rough three days on the way from the Sound of Harris down to Lochboisdale [on South Uist] and saw a big pod of dolphins, which was just extraordinary. They were coming at you from the top of the waves. They didn’t quite jump over the top of the boat, but they looked like they were going to.”
Royal favourites
Lewis: the lochs on the east side are great. There are quite a few places to anchor in Loch Roag.
Shiant Islands: we’ve been there a couple of times in Blue Doublet and a couple of times on [the cruise ship] Hebridean Princess with The Queen.
Loch Ewe: we had an interesting time in fog as thick as I’ve ever known it. There is a wonderful garden to see here as well.
Hermitray: there are some nice anchorages in the Sound of Harris, but lots of fish farms around.
Rona: a favourite spot. One of the most sheltered anchorages on the west coast. A very nice man, Bill Cowie, is the warden.
Skye: we’ve been all round Skye. There are lots more places to visit. We’ve only been to 12 anchorages there!
Eriskay: there’s a fantastic little anchorage here. We went there for the first time in Ballochbuie.
Barra: a marvellous place and a wonderful escape from the world.
Vatersay: good shelter in the lee of a sandbar. We anchored near Vatersay in company with Britannia one year.
Canna, Rum, Eigg and Muck: we enjoy visiting all these islands.
Loch Nevis and Loch Awe: both are lovely places.
Loch Moidart: beautiful, but we’ve only been there once. It has quite a scary entrance, not easy in a long-keel boat and you’re always battling the wind to get out.
Mull: Loch Mingary, Bunessan, the Bull Hole and Ardlanish. A beautiful little spot with shelter on the south side of the Ross of Mull. Carsaig is a little notch you wouldn’t think you could get into or get any shelter at all, but there’s a little reef offshore you can tuck behind.
Lismore: the island in Loch Linnhe. Walking there you get the most beautiful views and you can see as far as Ben Nevis.
Loch Feochan: there is a little place right at the entrance that is great.
Garvellach Islands: lovely, but weather- dependent so it has to be very calm.
Loch Craignish: Goat Island is one of the safest anchorages on the west coast of Scotland, as long as you are able to wash off your anchor; it has the stickiest mud.
Jura: we have visited anchorages all round the coast.
Rathlin Island: fascinating, a bit shallow and we bounced off the bottom there.
#sharing this because it’s a favourite of mine 😍🥰#scotland is so magical#i would really like to visit someday#i loved reading about their favourite spots to visit 🥹#i could listen to their sailing stories all day 🥰#princess anne#princess royal#tim laurence#timothy laurence

Man as @uovoc pointed out Golden Age really does have everything. Feral!Temeraire. Piracy. O’Dea on the Reliant somehow. An absolutely adorable L&T meet cute. Implications that Laurence and Temeraire will somehow find each other in every universe even when their original meeting didn’t work out. Laurence having to confront the fact that he’ll never ever hurt Temeraire and him speedrunning a solid 40% of his nine-book character arc in three pages as a result. A Kraken is there.
#temeraire#Laurence is not in much of the rest of the short story collection#because Novik was clearly using it to explore stuff outside his POV#but man the one major appearance is so good

wanting to show wholesome interactions between the hunter and various npcs vs wanting to stick to canon writing (nobody gives a shit about you)
Like... the Doll is "preset" to care for any dreaming hunter. Gehrman is introduced as your guide but after telling you the basics, only directs you towards optional stuff (the sheer betrayal i felt upon realizing that lmao) and fucks off to take a sad little nap for the rest of the game. I thought it'd be funny if, being part of your subconscious, you'd hear his voice in your thoughts sometimes à la Cruller in Psych0nauts - but also, you're just another hunter to him.
A few citizens are openly nice to you without ulterior motives, and most of them are outcasts like you ; Gilbert who's a fellow outsider, the Dweller ostracized for his disability (edit : his general appearance moreso and possibly his link to an abandoned place of worship as a whole), and Arianna who deals with the general stigma that comes with her profession (+ her link to Vilebloods, for those who Know). She and Adella are also grateful for you guiding them towards a safe place, nothing surprising.
Now for other hunters. I live for Gascoigne's friendly tag-along across Central Yharnam but agree with the hypothesis that it was cut to make the player feel more isolated and alone, and we know how it would end either way.
Then Djura. I raise an eyebrow whenever I see the term "befriend" for taking his deal ; yes, you'll pacify him and he'll give you cool stuff, but then will tell you to fuck off with no additional dialogue. I also wanna mention he doesn't sound the tiny bit surprised/betrayed if you break the deal, which says a lot ; to him too you are just another hunter and he knows how it usually goes with hunters. I could go on about Dju in particular but his detachment towards you is extremely understandable from his position in-game.
Eileen and Simon are recurrent encounters who are amiable by default, but even then running into them comes across as "oh hey you aren't dead yet, good for you lol" to me.
Alfred is... Alfred ? Also amiable by default, open to the point if feels out of place, and though he thanks you for getting him to the end of his questline he (supposedly) offs himself immediately afterwards, his obsession faith prevailing upon anything and anyone else. i'm at loss here sorry
This is non-exhaustive, we could speak of Valtr and Patches and Annalise and so on. but these were some characters I like to depict along the Hunter ; Gascoigne, Eileen and Djura as mentor figures, Alfred as a comrade, Simon as a companion in misery, and so on - stuff you can expect in my fanart basically - while still meeting the fate they meet in-game (except dju who's just chilling if you don't go out of your way to make it otherwise).
But in-game, you have no name that matters, and almost no ones gives you their name either, you only know them from item descriptions when it's not from a boss' health bar. You're all strangers to one another fighting and surviving from the same mess, and you - Good Hunter - are the latest wedge thrown in the gears, with no previous connection to anyone like the different members of the many factions you meet in the giant chessboard that is Yharnam and its surroundings. Still, you get those small moments of respite, and they're enough to hurt when they're taken away, sometimes by your own hand in a final act of mercy, no matter how predictable the end becomes.
#i was gonna ramble in tags but this went in tangents covering 70% of my thoughts about the game so it was gonna be a bit long#it's been 5 months i have thoughts and i must scream#the laurence theory is genuinely cool but i love the hunter as this miserable rando#who got caught in a story that's already done#who will kindly reach out to others stuck in that same mess (including those partly responsible for it)#but also try to get to the bottom of this for their own curiosity#and will run around like a little freak eating alien umbilical cords on a whim. based

i really like dante’s arc in mcd,, i genuinely think it was handled pretty well. it was simple but sweet.
in diaries dante starts with no family,, fresh out of the guard academy and aimless. however,, in season 2 we see that he was able to build a family and gained stability during the 15 year time-jump. even though he had settled down,, he worked hard as a guard and stuck by phoenix drop even when so many others had given up on it. and that included his friends. everyone else was convinced that their lord and her friends wouldn’t return but everyday for 15 years straight he stood at his post outside the gate and waited. and waited. and waited. by the time his friends returned he was no longer the wide-eyed excitable young man,, now he was older,, mature and frankly… sad. although we can estimate that he was in his mid 30s by season 2 he clearly acts older than that. the stress of holding together a decaying town in the aftermath of a battle AND raising a family had aged his soul. out of the trio of him, laurence and garroth,, he had become the oldest. when he was once the youngest
#his story is so poetic imo#he was abandoned once again but possibly this time for the better#him garroth and laurence omfg#they are depressing af#I think it was rly clever of Jess to have him be the one to stay behind whilst the rest of the cast went into the Irene dimension#dante was the youngest and now he’s the oldest :((((#i love this man sm#loml <3#aphblr#aphmau#aphverse#aphmau minecraft diaries#minecraft diaries#dante aphmau#aphmau dante

was the church always in charge of yharnam or was there like a mayor and then laurence came along and did something...?
#they never really say anything about in the lore#so i am a little curious#also wonder what kind of law enforcement was there before the church hunters took over#it would be kinda cool if there was some corruption in yharnam before the hc#like someone (or some people) being so terrible you end up rooting for laurence to win#but feel wrong/bad for doing so considering what the hc becomes later#idk i was just thinking about when brador would've come into the story#i do like to imagine laurence got closer to brador because unlike the others#he can act pretty immoral without being judged or getting any kind of push back#considering brador doesn't really have that much of a moral compass#ramblings

“It was an open secret that Anne had struck up a close friendship with the Queen's equerry Timothy Laurence, but only those in Anne's "inner circle" knew the truth – that the pair were having a love affair and they would sometimes stay in his Winchester home.”

For Brador and Laurence!
🚘 Who is/would be the better driver and who is the passenger?
🔥 Who has the temper and who keeps a cool head?
(Asks from this ( x ) meme)
🚘 Who is/would be better driver and who is the passenger?
Hahah in Bloodborne setting, a more authentic question is "🐎 Who is/would be better coachman and who is the passenger?" XD My Laurence is a son of Cainhurst librarian so he has at least the minimal requirement skills of riding a horse itself, but didn't feel/have the need to learn to direct the carriage.. If he got stuck somewhere without a coachman, he'd prefer to just free one horse and go on it than try to figure it out!
Brador, on the other hand, has a variety of practical skills, and this includes being a coachman! He'd find it honorable to deliver carriage with Laurence by himself whenever there is a need, as lovely as sitting inside together sounds! Exception is if Laurence is to be left there with a passenger (or a few) that Brador doesn't personally trust. Like for example, if Laurence and Mico were to travel in a carriage together, Brador would invite A Guy rather than leave his PREEEECIOUS PERFECT FRIEND alone inside with that SNAKE who could make him uncomfortable or ask for questionable funds or try setting him against Brador's constant guarding or-
In a modern AU though, I imagine both would have driver's license, but Brador is more versatile at it (can drive various kind of cars)! Laurence also would always prefer to be driven than to drive, but only if he knows the person driving well! Brador IS that.
🔥 Who has the temper and who keeps a cool head?
They interchange in this regard! Brador typically gets heated up on behalf of Laurence or the Healing Church.... and they pretty much share this, because Laurence's main reasons to get heated are also either himself or his church. XD Laurence is able to talk Brador out of going after "enemies" that aren't worth it or might be reasoned with amicably, and Brador is able to talk Laurence out of making rushed decisions or endangering himself by attempting personal confrontations. Half of their unwise decisions (of lesser scale than the fate of Yharnam I mean) were made because one was not there to calm down the other! They even had a small fight about it, resolving in Brador insisting that Laurence discusses his grudges and worries with him first, instead of keeping secrets from him and letting it explode in the end.
_________
Thank you for the ask! Damn, the more I write headcanons about these guys, the more I realize Bradorence is practically baked into my vision of the story rather than being just a fun thought to entertain xd It is rare for me to have an 'OTP' as a lover of endless possibilities, but I am glad I am this deep in 🌛
#they are becoming codependent!!!! noooo brain don't shackle me xD#bloodborne#bradorence#brador church assassin#laurence the first vicar#ask replies#like even in scenarious they are not a pair their friendship is still basically part of the story#good for them

endearing to me that you can clearly still see that Elijah Wood has all of his fingers in that final scene
#sometimes it’s okay if acting is just acting#even in a movie#that Laurence Olivier quote like ‘have you tried acting?’ applies here#it’s acting. it’s okay. It doesn’t have to take you out of the story#lotr liveblogging

Okay edgy 00s supernatural romance aphverse au
Garroth is the childhood friend thats inlove with Aphmau and she kind of shares it but she’s all ‘nah it’d be weird, our parents were super close, we were raised like siblings’.
And Laurence is the mysterious stranger that shows up at the same time as a whole bunch of murders and everyone thinks it’s him and it’s heavily implied he’s a vampire because he’s not seen during the day, and he’s queasy at the sight of blood. Except he saves Aphmau from the real vampires and ends up getting bitten.
Katelyn is the cautious best friend that warns aphmau against dating sketchy guys and is correct about pretty much everything but people don’t listen to her because then there’d be no plot.
Lucinda is the sassy queer friend of the cautious best friend who is secretly from a long line of witches, and her mother runs the grand coven of witches. She fronts as just being spiritual but all of the vampires are scared of her and she sells some sketchy shit, so like… it’s obvious to the watcher that she’s more than just spiritual.
And Aphmau herself is the quirky main protagonist with something weird and mystical about her that makes the male love interests want to either bang her or eat her for some reason. She will kill someone at some point and it will be a big girlboss moment even though the rest of her characterisation is borderline misogynistic because it’s the 2000s
#there is a bigger cast especially as the story progresses. however these are the 5 most important characters to s1#Aaron is a late-show love interest. just pops up in like the 4th season and ends up with Aphmau. fans are pissed#like in canon#aphmau#aphverse#aphblr#aphmau au#garroth ro’meave#laurence zvahl#Lucinda ndhiu#Katelyn the firefist
