It's 11 PM, but one of my favorite little Darcy/Elizabeth moments happens while she still hates him and thinks he's a depraved monster, and I find it really entertaining.

It's during the Kent section, when Darcy calls at the parsonage and finds Elizabeth alone. During a longer, awkward conversation in which they both deeply misunderstand each other, they have this tiny interchange:

[Darcy:] “This seems a very comfortable house. Lady Catherine, I believe, did a great deal to it when Mr Collins first came to Hunsford.” “I believe she did—and I am sure she could not have bestowed her kindness on a more grateful object.” “Mr Collins appears very fortunate in his choice of a wife.” “Yes, indeed; his friends may well rejoice in his having met with one of the very few sensible women who would have accepted him, or have made him happy if they had. My friend has an excellent understanding—though I am not certain that I consider her marrying Mr Collins as the wisest thing she ever did."

So: they are in Mr Collins's house. Darcy tries to re-start the conversation with a polite nothing about the house. Elizabeth agrees about Lady Catherine's micro-managing, but can't resist the chance to make a sly jab at Mr Collins (who is not present) to Darcy (a genuine villain, as far as she believes).

Darcy's reply looks a bit like an attempt to redirect the conversation into safer waters (they can agree that Charlotte is cool!). But although his remark is only somewhat related to what Elizabeth said, I think it's a natural follow-up in his mind because he is also insulting Mr Collins, if more subtly.

He could have praised Mr Collins's judgment in choosing Charlotte or just said something nice about Charlotte; he doesn't. Instead, he suggests that Mr Collins's choice of Charlotte was a matter of good fortune—or chance, as Charlotte herself would say!—on Collins's part. Darcy and Elizabeth both know Collins is a fool and that his choice of a woman like Charlotte says nothing about his judgment, only about his good fortune. (Elizabeth has even better reason than Darcy to know how much Collins ending up with Charlotte was lucky for him, but Darcy can see it anyway.)

Darcy's phrasing gives him some plausible deniability, but I think he's generally quite careful with his wording and the implicit insult to Mr Collins is not accidental.

Elizabeth, I think, takes this exactly as intended. She's not at all confused about where this tangent came from or offended by it or anything. She readily seizes on the new line of conversation as encouragement to keep insulting Mr Collins and his appeal to women with functioning brainpower.

Elizabeth is pretty scrupulously polite in general, so I kind of love that she just starts venting about her absolute contempt for Mr Collins and the Collins/Charlotte marriage to Darcy in the middle of a tense and weird conversation in Mr Collins's house. And I love that Darcy, who is otherwise more or less dog-paddling his way through this conversation, is like "yeah, your friend seems really cool, that dumbass is lucky he accidentally chose someone with a brain."

Elizabeth: "Right? And, let me add-"

(Is it a bit of an asshole move on both their parts in the context of that scene? Yeah, I think a little. I also love it! Please trash-talk obnoxious hosts in their own parlours for the rest of your lives.)

#anghraine babbles #deep blogging #i'm feeling a bit 'don't explain the joke' about ... well. explaining the joke. but it's still funny to me!#darcy and elizabeth are genuinely good people but sometimes they can't help statler and waldorfing it up #austen blogging #pride and prejudice #jane austen #elizabeth bennet #fitzwilliam darcy #otp of otps #sidenote: i don't think darcy and charlotte really interact 'onstage'#but i find it interesting that charlotte (who does not like men) sticks up for him multiple times #and is the one to deduce months before the pemberley scenes that darcy is generally different than she's known him #meanwhile darcy is oblivious to charlotte trying to further his romance with elizabeth but is like ... good vibes tbh #charlotte lucas

Kirk & Spock: Thicker Than Blood

Folks can say what they want about Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, but this moment where the gauntlet gets thrown down and Spock is forced to choose between his brother and Kirk? It keeps me fed for a lifetime:

Spock: I cannot go with you.

Sybok: Why not?

Spock: I belong here.

Sybok: I . . . don't understand . . .

Spock: Sybok . . . You are my brother, but you do not know me. I am not the outcast boy you left behind those many years ago.

Since that time, I have found myself; and my place. I know who I am. I cannot go with you.

Shout out to Jim’s extremely smug, smarmy, self-satisfied expression after Spock tells Sybok “I cannot go with you”.

Spock stands firmly by Jim's side without question, essentially choosing James T. Kirk over his own blood brother. And Jim's face is just:

Jim: Yeah you heard right. He loves meeeeee (you can't step to this but cute try, bless your heart.)

Sybok: Oh it be like that, huh? *Excited his little brother has actually learned to make peace with and love himself, knowing he is genuinely embraced for who he is by people that love him*

I digress. it makes me absolutely feral that Kirk and Spock repeatedly choose each other without hesitation over their blood family.

How they were closer to each other than they ever were their biological brothers, or “anyone in the universe.”

It kind of cuts to the core of me in the most beautiful way every single time I see their loyalty for each other tested, yet they never waver.

They've always got each other's backs unfalteringly. After TMP they don't care what anyone else thinks about them, they just love each other without question or fear. Unequivocal devotion in a heartbeat. Ugh, it's precious. Space husband loyalty on fleek.

Bonus: Sam Kirk out here to Sybok like: Get used to it, bro. Get in line.

I HATE THIS what is wrong with me? So cursed. How very dare. Much wtf.

Wincest gifs collection party!🎉🎉

I need all the wincest gifs, and thought it could be nice if we collected them all on one post. It would make it so much easier to find them later on and maybe discover new ones!

So I'm posting some of my faves and I hope other lovers of the epic love story of Sam and Dean will add yours in the reblogs.

(no antis allowed😘)

I love that Elizabeth and Darcy are so ready to effectively tell each other they're full of shit. This happens a bunch of times, but I was re-reading their conversation at the Netherfield Ball and they're both kind of refreshingly Done.

[Darcy:] “Do you talk by rule, then, while you are dancing?” [Elizabeth:] “Sometimes. One must speak a little, you know. It would look odd to be entirely silent for half an hour together; and yet, for the advantage of some, conversation ought to be so arranged as that they may have the trouble of saying as little as possible.” [Darcy:] “Are you consulting your own feelings in the present case, or do you imagine that you are gratifying mine?” “Both,” replied Elizabeth archly; “for I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb.” “This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I am sure,” said he.

It's also pretty funny, because I suspect Darcy is thinking of this sort of thing in a later conversation at Rosings:

“You mean to frighten me, Mr Darcy, by coming in all this state to hear me. But I will not be alarmed, though your sister does play so well. There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.” “I shall not say that you are mistaken,” he replied, “because you could not really believe me to entertain any design of alarming you; and I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know, that you find great enjoyment in occasionally professing opinions which, in fact, are not your own.”

#i love elizabeth cloaking what is obviously a specific personal insult in ostensible solidarity that is in fact the opposite of solidarity #but also that darcy completely sees through it and just says so (then and implicitly later on)#and later in the netherfield ball conversation #darcy actively warns her that she shouldn't form her opinion on him bc at the moment it won't reflect well on either of them #which he is completely correct about—yet he doesn't connect this w/ his assumptions about her encouraging him at all #then or later!#also i appreciate that no matter how many times they challenge each other through social mechanisms #it just never breaks through their mutual arrogance lmao #but it builds until they reach the point where they just drop the bullshit altogether and say exactly what they think and believe #and doing /that/ with each other is what catapults the other one onto their respective character arcs #(w/ the hunsford scene and darcy's letter)#anghraine babbles #long post #austen blogging #fitzwilliam darcy #elizabeth bennet #otp of otps #pride and prejudice #jane austen

Canon may tease that Scully will never die, but I firmly believe it’s the Mulder/Scully relationship—with its unwavering trust, unbreakable bond, and unconditional love—that is actually immortal.

(Re-sharing this older post in honor of my ongoing TXF feels attack.)

FYI and Announcement

This blog is a place to escape from our struggles and enjoy the masterpiece that is One Piece. This is a judgement free zone, if you want to hate, leave! I hope that my stories and long long rants can make everyone smile. I don’t know why I’m getting all mushy today, I think it’s the amount of Law angst I’m reading. Anyways, I’m think about trying a Koala x Sabo fic (they are otp, don’t argue because you know they are) and a Vivi x Sanji fic (don’t hate it’s perfect), what do you guys think? Any other op couples you’d loved to see?
