Darcy (stoicaly): She's not like other ladies. She doesn't want me for my money.
Darcy (tearfully): She just doesn't want me.

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

Damian: I just don't think Pride and Prejudice would work well in a modern setting
Tim: *flashback to when, in his stalking investigation to find the batfam's secret identities, he stumbled upon Jason's modern day pride and prejudice au*
(said scene he is thinking of: Dudebro Darcy trying to flirt with Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Bennet and to avoid it, she tried to tell him she can't hook up with him cause she's on her period, only for this exchange-
Darcy, trying to make a joke: don't worry, I'm a monsterfucker *wink*
Elizabeth, raising an eyebrow: Well too bad I'm not *walks away*
Then, over the course of the fic, Darcy learns to drink women respect juice. Then he sees Elizabeth again, apologizes, and cue enemies to lovers)
Tim, making eye contact with Jason across the table: you know, on the other hand, I do feel Pride and Prejudice could work in a modern setting-
#he was trying to make the 'women are monsters on their period' joke and she was havin' none of it#this is definitely something Jason would write#hes like 'based on an interaction i witnessed between my boyfriend and my girlfriend' (yes this is now joyfire content too)#batkids#batfam#bat family#tim drake#jason todd#damian wayne#incorrect batfamily quotes#p&p#pride and prejudice

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

that time danny joked about steve asking him to prom, no, really (as they say 'every joke has a bit of truth in it')
now there are so many quips he could have made, why did his mind have to go there? ;P
and then Steve stepped up by getting all dressed up and showing up
so metaphorically it's almost like Danny got stood up by a prom date and Steve stepped in anyway, all Mr Darcy-like, despite having been previously rejected
Danny can't help but be charmed. A pleasant surprise because he isn't used to someone actually doing big swooping gestures for him. Only thing missing was Steve carrying Danny out An Officer and a Gentleman style cause it wasn't appropriate for the occasion.
Steve and Danny and their complicated courtship rituals would give Jane Austen a run for her money 😂

Let me know what are your fun classic books! Classics have the reputation of being "serious literature", but let me tell you I have read ridiculous ones. They are so fun and easy to read that no one should be intimidated by them. I will start with:
The Odyssey by Homer (I read the Fagles translation, but the Emily Wilson one looks very easy and fun too and I want it);
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (honestly, a fun romcom where the spiciest thing is touching a hand);
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (there are too many ridiculous moments to list, but when I tell you at least one problem is solved by "hey, do you want drugs?");
Dracula by Bram Stoker (just check the Dracula daily tag);
The Picture of Dorian Gray/The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde (I swear I never seen anyone that read it dislike Dorian Gray (the book). It's that entertaining).
I hesitate to put Moby Dick here because there are also boring moments, but it has some hilarious chapters and lines too.
#classic literature#classics are only serious until you read one with fart jokes#the odyssey#pride and prejudice#dracula#tcomc#tpodg#the importance of being earnest#booklr#I am fishing for the fun ridiculous recs for when I need them

Darcy (outloud, sweating profusely): How have you been, Miss Elizabeth?
Darcy (internally): Ah yes, after this blatand suave public display, she must surely gauge the depth of my affection for her.
*stares at her*
Elizabeth: the fuck is wrong with this dork?

In other news I’ve come to the comparison that Darcy from Amphibia and Alastor from Hazbin Hotel both tilt their heads in similar fashions when amused. And I don’t know who I feel about that.
#I say the titles of the shows like anyone on my blog wouldn’t know what shows I was talking about#I mean hey I could be comparing Alastor and the guy from Pride and Prejudice#you don’t know#…actually I think his name is Mr Darcy#it’s been years since I read it though#oh there’s a random side character in Genshin impact named Darcy#which I know because I found it funny#I could be talking about them… though Genshin NPCs are not particularly expressive#I really can’t think of another Alastor#like there’s that Alastair from the show Wartwood fought over (and I only remember that because I made a joke about it)#amphibia#alastor#hazbin hotel#Darcy#wren’s amphibia stuff

People throwing around the term “obstinate headstrong girl” like it’s some sort of compliment.
Let me remind you, Jane Austen did write an obstinate headstrong girl, her name was Louisa Musgrove.
Jane Austen pushed her off a cliff.
#obstinate headstrong girl#jane austen#louisa musgrove#elizabeth bennet#I know it was a Cobb#but this is more fun#pride and prejudice#persuasion#Jane austen doesn't like people who are unreasonably stubborn#she is all for standing your ground when you are right#All of the heroines refuse to yield when they know it's the right thing#But I still find this joke funny#sue me
