#pride and prejudice comment
Text
The thing is, Jason’s gender presentation as a motorcycle-tough guy is part of a costume, it was constructed as part of his Red Hood persona to project a specific image (if you’re gonna take over the criminal underground, ya gotta look the part). This is never stated explicitly in canon, but I’m intuiting it from the way his style of dress changes once he becomes Red Hood. Sometimes I wonder about how aware of this he is, like does he consciously view it that way or was it more of a subconscious thing? Most people are not tapped into the “gender presentation is not innate and is a performance” meta so it could go either way. I’ve seen some people compare it to the “over exaggerated on purpose” masculinity that some masc gay men present themselves with, and I do love that interpretation also
#Also this changes if you interpret him as transmasc. Transmasc Jason is definitely tapped tf in he Knows#There’s also that ‘motorcycle fetish’ comment Black Mask made in utrh#I think part of why fandom latches on to the pride and prejudice thing so much is because the idea of someone who presents themselves in a#macho tough guy way unabashedly and unashamedly liking ‘girly’ books is very fun#Jason Todd#dc#Red Hood

Jane Austen, a writer full of wit and ready to laugh at the entire world if she thought it to be foolish, naming her kindest character, who always believes in people's goodness to a fault, after herself...
I keep wondering about the story behind that
#jane austen#jane bennet#pride and prejudice#is it a joke? an expression of a side of her that not always showed? was it a comment on something I don't understand?#mandy gives no ducks

Did anyone else love the Lizzie Bennet Diaries as much as I did? Do you want to listen to me gab about it for three hours?
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries were an immersive transmedia experience based on Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, and it is, entirely as a result of writers and performers who were horrendously underpaid and undervalued, an absolutely phenomenal piece of art and adaptation. In this video I recap the series and some of my favorite adaptational moments and compare them to the 1995, and 2005 film versions as well as to Bridget Jones' Diary, but I remain completely loyal to my favorite, this youtube adaptation I loved when I was a teenager that introduced me to the story in the first place.

The Elizabeth/Darcy Marriage of Convenience fic no one asked for
Chapter Thirty: Elizabeth's first ball in town - and the first official dance she is attending as Mrs Darcy - has arrived. As have the Darcy family's collection of jewellery, which Mr Darcy sent for. Of course, despite that their marriage was made to secure her safety, his love for Elizabeth means he wants none but her to wear them. They stay close to each other during the ball, and he cannot keep his eyes off her. Especially when they dance.
Read on Ao3 here
First reviews of Chapter Thirty: "Honestly when I get the email this story has updated I get very excited and it’s a proper treat! I made a coffee and sat down to read it as soon as possible." "Loved this update! Oh man the vibes during that dance were just perfect." "I'm literally so unreasonably happy that they had a nice night out😭😭 grinning in public like a lunatic rn..." "I really loved the ball in its entirety, honestly. The descriptions of the room and atmosphere, and especially the last dance, all speaks to your writing prowess. 12/10, would recommend." "his story is my absolute favorite notification and I seriously enjoy reading it so much! The characters, the world building, just so incredibly well done!"

Judging by your blog and the things that you post, you're a little girl who's clearly never been in any relationship, and you are living out your fantasies through tumblr. Which nothing wrong with that, but... I mean take a look at your blog, you make such disgusting gross comments about attractive actors, and make sexual comments about them that borderline on uncomfortable and gross. So, why you think you can call out a group of shippers for their behaviour is beyond me! Your views are clearly skewed, biased, and morally rephrensible. You preach about people bashing the Polin fandom for their looks, and throw a whole bunch of blame at the Kanthony fandom for a rumour that they've done something (something that you even state that you know is a "scandalous falsehood" like seriously get over yourself) for not acting appropriate to the actors, when take a look at your own blog. Ninety percent of your blog is just attractive people and you simping over them. You want to call people out, maybe call yourself out for perpetuating gross stereotypes, and also making disgusting untoward comments about actors as well. I'm not saying that it's right for anyone to throw hate towards these actors, but before you go all high and mighty (and you were acting high and mighty with your whole 'obstinate, insipid, and ill-bred' comment), maybe consider that if the actors saw half of the shit you wrote about them and thirsting so hard, they'd be uncomfortable as well.
I’m sorry I just…I had to share this with my friends because I am laughing so hard right now
#not even going to ask where you come off calling me a ‘’little girl’#and saying my comments about actors are ‘gross’ and ‘disgusting’#(srsly if that’s your threshold then i genuinely hope no one ever introduces you to dead dove)#but setting aside the fact that you clearly didn’t get my lady catherine de bourgh from pride & prejudice#other than that you’re honestly spot on#i may not be a ‘little girl’ but i haven’t had a relationship#and so it’s true my perspective may not be as well informed as others#i am naïve about a lot of things and this might be one of them#thank you for reading my post at least😂#bridgerton netflix#bridgerton s3#bridgerton season 3#kate bridgerton#anthony bridgerton#bridgerton#bridgerton season three#bridgerton series#penelope bridgerton#penelope featherington#colin x penelope#penelope x colin#polin#polin bridgerton#kanthony#kate#anthony x kate#kate and anthony#kate sharma#kate x anthony

Elizabeth Bennet and Elizabeth Swann meet
They meet
Both charmed, quickly becoming great friends
Miss Bennet insists she be called Lizzy, and Miss Swann settles for Elizabeth
Both in love with their husbands
Both can't hold their tongues
Both women of action
Both married a man for love
They both demand respect, though they rarely find need to voice it
They always strive to do the right thing
Mr. Darcy and Will accompany them, for they must meet this other Elizabeth their wife keeps talking about
Mr. Darcy being visibly taken aback by Will's appearance. Sure, he cleans up nice, but being at sea and a pirate, no less, does harden ones character.
He has an edge that Mr. Darcy has only seen in seasoned soldiers, and scars that would put most to shame.
But Will is respectful
Confident, and humble
Mr. Darcy need a little time to adjust
But when he sees how he looks at Miss Swann, he cannot help but see himself
He knows him enough then
Will is... Will is reminded that his wife grew up in polite society
He doesn't feel inadequate, he certainly feels quite at home with his wife, and Miss Bennet only drives the point home with kindness
He sees why they like each other so much
Mr. Darcy is tall, holds his head high and remains quite stoic
Except when he looks at Miss Bennet
There is a softness, a delicate warmth that lifts his lips ever so lightly
He knows that look
He knows what's behind it
He's felt his own features do the same when he looks at his wife
Both Elizabeths can see the mutual respect their husbands gain towards each other upon seeing the love that resides in the others' eyes.
There's no such thing quite as reassuring as knowing a man has infinite respect and love for his wife
And knowing you share at least that with him
As well as a love for a certain fiery, outspoken, kind and courageous woman
Elizabeth Swann sees Mr Darcy, and can't help but see her first fiancé
Tall, proud and, from what Lizzie has told her, exceedingly kind and loyal
The meeting is quite accidental, though not undiscussed
Lizzy and Elizabeth had talked about making Mr. Darcy and James Norrington meet,
They couldn't deny they wanted to see how they would react to another version of themselves
There weren't many like them, so the event could only be educational
Miss Bennet and her husband were out for a walk, like they normally were, though they did stray closer to her new friend's house than they usually did
Mr Darcy had enough love for his wife's smile to pretend he did not notice until they were knocking, and even more for her enthusiasm to leave it unsaid.
Miss Swann had barely opened the door before she was inviting them in, and seating them in the living room
They shared laughs and pleasant conversation as the tea went cold
They were interrupted by a sharp two toned knock at the door.
Miss Swann was initially surprised, before turning sharp mischievous eyes to her friend and exclaiming "Oh, I had almost forgotten. I expected a dear friend of mine to drop off a book he borrowed."
The knowing look she got back was enough to place a seed of apprehension in Mr. Darcy's mind
Miss Swann practically flew to the door, eagerly opening it to reveal an awaiting Mr. Norrington
No longer adorning his once beloved uniform though his stature would not let anyone doubt he had worn it with pride
Miss Swann invited him inside, though he almost protested before setting eyes upon the visitors, already up to meet him
He couldn't exactly say no, could he? No he couldn't, it would be rude
And Miss Swann had excitedly told him about this Miss Bennet and her husband
He couldn't pretend he wasn't curious
He set the book he had come to return on the side table and stood by Miss Swann as she made introductions
Miss Bennet was indeed charming, that much he could tell, though possibly a little more reserved than his once promised
The man standing by her however, was most intriguing
He appeared just as, if not more, put out by the prospect of having to make conversation with a complete stranger while Miss Swann and Miss Bennet talked away
This proved to be an unnecessary worry, as both men quickly realized the other was just as apprehensive
They even found they enjoyed the quick quips the other made when they could keep up with the two women
Eventually, the impromptu meeting came to a close, though both men came away thinking well of the other
They met again at Jane Bingley’s ball
In truth, Miss Bennet had only agreed to it because her sister Jane had organized it, and she so dearly loved to dance
Mr. Darcy had to concede that though he didn't love the attention, he did love to see his wife dance even if he could would only allow himself to join her for one dance, lest others in waiting be left, well, in waiting
Instead, he most often found himself in a less frequented area, where he was at the mercy of others' conversations
This time, however, he found he knew somebody he would not mind conversing with
He made his way easily through the crowd, which, more often than not, noticed him before he did them
James Norrington had accepted the invitation in no small part because he respected the Bingleys and would never hear the end of it if Elizabeth Swann heard he had declined an invitation from her new friend's sister
While he talked with the Turners, their attention turned to one just behind him
James did not have the time to turn around, before Elizabeth was calling upon the newcomer
"Mr. Darcy! I had hoped you would be able to join us."
He came to a stop beside the group and nodded at the two men
"My wife loves to dance" was the first justification he gave, though he quickly followed it "and Mr. Bingley is a good friend of mine"
"Is he? How wonderful. I can't wait to meet Lizzy's sister." Elizabeth answered quickly, already looking to catch her friend's eye so they might be introduced.
It seems Lizzy had been doing the same, because she waved them over.
"Please excuse us." Was all Elizabeth offered before catching her husband's arm and walking to her friend.
Will barely had time to nod at the two men before they were left alone in their wake.
They passed the time easily enough, finding conversation an unnecessary though not unwelcome distraction.
Instead, they found themselves quite enjoying the dry humour of the other, as they watched inexperienced and nervous boys try to lead their ladies in the various steps, each reminiscing in their own times
Before long, they found they could discuss the changes since their youth, and their respective stations
Mr. Darcy was quite impressed with the military prowess of Mr. Norrington, even as he claimed his exploits quite humbly.
As much as Lizzy and Elizabeth could be said to have become inseparable since meeting, Mr. Norrington and Mr. Darcy often found the others’ company quite enjoyable

I am going to write every possible scenario I can think of (that I also find appealing) in which at least one of the main characters of Pride and Prejudice is on the aromantic and/or asexual spectrum, and you cannot stop me.
#everyone is aro/ace unless proven otherwise#and sometimes even *regardless* of being proven otherwise#I would write ace!Lydia if only I found her character even slightly interesting (which I do not)#and yes - not even *that* commenter can stop me#(it's mainly gonna be about asexuality I think)#(though I have written Darcy as being on both the aromantic and the asexual spectrum)#Pride and Prejudice (and fanfiction)

The news was saying how there’s a new stage production of the importance of being earnest that had an all black cast, strong female characters…and drag performance. How have we got to point where drag in itself is seen as progressive?
#stage performances nearly always have drag anyway#and it’s not progressive…#it’s literally just ‘haha man in dress funny’#how is this any different#unless it’s like that all female production of pride and prejudice where the men were played by women but it wasn’t commented on or seen as#a joke#or if it’s women in drag as opposed to men#gender critical#radfem safe

Trying to Tread Water: Chapter Twenty-Eight
The Elizabeth/Darcy Marriage of Convenience fic no one asked for
Chapter Twenty-Eight: It seems everyone Elizabeth or Mr Darcy has ever known are calling on 'Mrs Darcy' now she is in London. Colonel Fitzwilliam is eager to meet her, and the Earl is curious about his new niece, but Elizabeth is most curious to see how Mr Bingley acts. They haven't seen each other since the Netherfield ball, and she wants to know whether he even remembers Jane. His sisters, jealous and ingratiating in turns, must also be endured. But Mr Darcy is glad there is one thing he is not yet called upon to endure... the embarrassment of having such low connections as tradespeople paying a social call at his house has been delayed.
Read on Ao3 here
Some reviews of last chapter: "I found this story yesterday and had the loveliest time reading all 27 chapters! Thanks for your writing, I cannot wait for the next one." "As always your attention to detail astounds and your writing is beautiful. I often feel as if I'm truly reading an alternate version of the same book." "This has taken me six days to read... You are one of my favorite writers of ANYTHING. Your prose is to die for, I adore every moment of it. I NEED MORE. 💞💞" "This whole story is super delightful and I love that you’ve managed that tinge of Yearning(tm) (that I suspect will only strengthen as we continue) while keeping the characters very true to themselves and to the time period. " ""Awwww such a lovely chapter, funny and sweet and romantic all at once."" "I loved the way they bantered, lost to the world" "Their walk in the rain is so romantic and actually kind of hot! I love that Darcy instinctively pulls her closer so as to shield her from the chill and the rain" "Amazing story! Characters so well written and really enjoying the plot. Feel very lucky to have found this one; can’t wait for the next instalment!"
Story updates on Ao3 fortnightly, with Chapter Twenty-Nine coming out on the 19th April.
Story tags: Elizabeth/Darcy, Marriage of Convenience, Unrequited Love, Not Really Unrequited Love, Slow Burn, Pining, Pining Despite Being Married, Mr Darcy thinks his worst enemy is Wickham but maybe it's himself.

This was a really good breakdown of the differences between the two P&P versions. I’ve never loved the 2005 version and I could never fully express why, but watching this video I had so many aha moments like “That’s why I wasn’t feeling this!”
I highly recommend watching this. Starting at 8:30 is when she gets to talking about the characterization and motivations of the characters.
#pride and prejudice#p&p#one of the commenters wrote a funny#it's called pride and prejudice not shy and rude#and that made me wheeze laugh
