arthur / guenevere is compelling because it brings that arranged marriage flavor of "do i love you out of duty or of my own free will?" guenevere / lancelot is compelling because giving into their attraction not only betrays a man they both love, but inherently taints the chivalrous and dutiful qualities they love in one another. arthur / lancelot is compelling because nothing fucks harder than "i pledge my life to you." and arthur / guenevere / lancelot is compelling because it wouldn't change the ending.
#i didn't even like the camelot musical that much but i can't stop thinking about these dutiful romantic assholes#a shout into the void#honestly the musical (at least in sorkin's version) doesn't even make it out that arthur is jealous so much as he's deeply sad#because it's almost like he's been granted merlin's sight and he sees exactly how it will all end#and yet he can't do anything to stop it#because he can't let go of the fear he'll say 'i love you' to guenevere and she'll say it back but not the way he wants her to#what is wrong with these people (affectionate)

Dean being supportive of Sam/Lucifer because from the outside it seems like Sam is into it and Lucifer’s turning over a new leaf when it’s actually Lucifer digging his claws into Sam with every new deal they make (a kiss for some information on a case, an hour in Lucifer’s lap for a weapon to kill something, Lucifer joining him in the shower for someone healed) while Sam has no way out but to keep giving more of himself. And Dean (besties with Crowley) is going “Damn, glad he turned over a new leaf. You know, I’d kill him if he ever hurt you. :)”
#like just so we are clear Crowley is a sad pathetic meow meow who deserves to be loved#he DID also rule hell. and by his own admission did monstrous things to get there. he killed Kevin’s girlfriend and tortured him.#so like. what I’m saying is that it’s not completely out of line for Dean to extend forgiveness for Lucifer. especially if Lucifer is trying#really really hard :3 (he’s not but he’s sure good at looking like he is!)#‘forgiveness’ also not actually real forgiveness but Dean Winchester brand: I won’t kill you on sight and you are useful to me sometimes.#he might also try to put Lucifer in a cowboy hat. which would go poorly. unless Lucifer thinks it would mess with Sam to fuck him wearing#clothes Dean picked out for Lucifer to wear.#spn#lucifer spn#sam winchester#samifer#dean winchester#tw noncon

I’ve been thinking about the development of Elizabeth’s feelings for Darcy in P&P, and one of the things I find really intriguing is how incredibly careful Austen is in her handling of their physical attraction to each other.
A lot of takes on Darcy’s initial attraction to Elizabeth focus entirely on the physical element, but Austen’s description of it folds together his attraction to her intelligence, her expression, her body, and the “easy playfulness” of her manner. Of these, the earliest mentioned is his realization that her face is “rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes” and her eyes are the physical feature that he seems to dwell on the most.
At any rate, Darcy’s attraction to Elizabeth is established early on (Ch 6) and continues as a thread from that point on. And—I mean, even in 1813, it’s one thing to show a man in his twenties being attracted to the pretty heroine. Austen is a lot cagier about Elizabeth’s feelings.
The narrative is structured so that we know Darcy is physically attractive from his entrance in Ch 3, when the narrator refers to “his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien” along with his wealth. But we’re not in Elizabeth’s head at that point, and iirc, she isn’t shown as saying or thinking anything about his physical attractiveness until she blushingly agrees that he is very handsome forty chapters later.
Even there, Austen leaves the dialogue to stand on its own and tells us nothing of what Elizabeth actually feels about it. The conversation moves to Darcy’s personal virtues, which reveal the critical fact that Darcy is consistently kind and good-natured in the domestic sphere. So Elizabeth’s concession that Darcy is physically attractive is narratively linked to the suggestion that he would make a safe husband, emotionally speaking (although her concession comes first, which may be significant).
Between the initial, omniscient narrator-type description of him and Elizabeth agreeing in Ch 43, we do get references to his looks a few times, but during the period of Elizabeth’s dislike, it’s always either through implication or through someone around Elizabeth rather than Elizabeth herself. So Bingley, for instance, jokes about how Darcy is so much taller than he is, but the narrator only remarks on Elizabeth’s assumption that Darcy is offended by this.
We know that Elizabeth looks for a resemblance to Darcy when she first sees Lady Catherine, and finds it, but this isn’t explicitly linked to her conclusion that Lady Catherine might have been handsome in her youth.
Then there’s the introduction of Colonel Fitzwilliam, when he arrives with Darcy, as “about thirty, not handsome, but in person and address most truly the gentleman.” Obviously the contrast is with Darcy, who is handsome but has less gentlemanly manners, but this isn’t explicitly spelled out. Austen simply says that Darcy “looked just as he had been used to look in Hertfordshire” and moves to the manner of his compliments to Charlotte.
We do get an explicit contrast later, when Darcy, Georgiana, and Bingley come to Lambton (so, after the critical revelations):
Miss Darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than Elizabeth; and, though little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her appearance womanly and graceful. She was less handsome than her brother; but there was sense and good humour in her face
Austen breezes past this to Georgiana’s manners and Bingley’s arrival. There are a couple of discussions of Darcy’s appearance earlier at Pemberley, but entirely held between Mr and Mrs Gardiner, who admire his figure while Elizabeth is consumed by embarrassment. She mentions that it was obvious that he had only just arrived via horse or carriage, but not how she knows this or what she feels about it beyond repeatedly blushing.
Then they meet again, he interacts with the Gardiners for awhile, and Elizabeth and the Gardiners leave. The Gardiners discuss the encounter including Darcy’s appearance, and Mrs Gardiner—who at this point, still thinks Darcy has mistreated Wickham—first concludes that Wickham is handsomer, then immediately re-considers and decides that Darcy has perfect features, but not Wickham’s angelic countenance. She (Mrs Gardiner) goes on, “He[Darcy] has not an ill-natured look. On the contrary, there is something pleasing about his mouth when he speaks.”
Elizabeth does not opine on Darcy’s mouth, lol, and instead defends Darcy’s moral character as far as his financial dealings with Wickham are concerned. We don’t hear much more of it apart from that, and in general, we see Elizabeth’s reactions to Darcy more than we hear about them:
Their eyes instantly met, and the cheeks of both were overspread with the deepest blush.
She blushed again and again over the perverseness of the meeting.
The colour which had been driven from her face, returned for half a minute with an additional glow, and a smile of delight added lustre to her eyes, as she thought for that space of time that his affection and wishes must still be unshaken.
Darcy had walked away to another part of the room. She followed him with her eyes, envied everyone to whom he spoke, had scarcely patience enough to help anybody to coffee; and then was enraged against herself for being so silly!
The colour now rushed into Elizabeth’s cheeks in the instantaneous conviction of its being a letter from the nephew, instead of the aunt
She had only to say in reply, that they had wandered about, till she was beyond her own knowledge. She coloured as she spoke
I do not personally think there can be much reasonable doubt about whether Elizabeth is attracted to Darcy during this phase of the book. But the narrative does dance around it enough (for understandable 1813 reasons, I suspect, given that Elizabeth either dislikes or hates Darcy for a significant portion of the book) that it’s not at all clear when she begins to finds him attractive, especially given that she does not actually see him between receiving the letter and acknowledging his attractiveness at Pemberley. So I think there are multiple valid interpretations or headcanons one could come up with for that.
#fun fact: i started writing this bc i was like 'i want to make a post about something trivial i can be concise about'#rip me i guess#but tbh my personal headcanon is that elizabeth /is/ attracted to darcy for a lot of the book but NOT remotely 'secretly in love' or w/e#people will be like 'if the attraction is mutual then what about her dislike are you saying-'#nope! she hates him. in fact she only hates him more bc he's smart and hot and complicated.#in addition to her conviction that he's a terrible person morally#and then she finds out he's actually okay and then that he's actually GOOD and then that he's made himself even better#elizabeth: i tried infatuation at first sight with wickham. now i shall try grown-up feelings like respect and gratitude#three days later: alas... i could have loved him...#some indeterminate amount of time without actually seeing him later: ...oh. fuck.#(i paraphrase. but honestly while elizabeth's realization that half her sleepless nights are darcy's fault is sad it is also very funny)#but yeah i think elizabeth is extremely wary of where attraction to emotionally unsuitable people goes and just buries all that#but once hte brakes go off she falls FAST#also she's genuinely attracted to three different men over the course of one pretty short novel and i love that for her#anghraine babbles#anghraine's meta#austen blogging#elizabeth bennet#fitzwilliam darcy#otp of otps#pride and prejudice#jane austen#long post

I think it's really sad that so many ppl on this site assume malice and don't even assume that someone could just be misunderstanding, ignorant, or even being decieved
It's not a moral failing to not understand something that hasn't been explained to you ffs
#mostly abt anytime ppl get on others back about falling for something that is INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING#the answer that takes the least leaps in logic is usually correct and a lot of the time information is arranged to lead you elsewhere#i block these sorts of ppl on sight#not everyone is bigoted or lying when they post a maybe bad take#sometimes ppl have just been decieved#and thats not a moral failing!!#how will someone be able to learn to see past decieving shit when its not pointed out that it is decieving?#and how it is decieving?#i just think its a sad way to see the world if you assume everyone comes from a place of malice#and if you assume everyone comes from a place of malice#what does that say about you?#sol text#lun#ask to tag

various witch stuff of the day or whatever the heck
#witch hat tag#orufrey#uhh yeah just getting some stuff out of the way haha i like the first one tho. i drew something that scares me#iguin must have been involved in qifrey's thing somehow. The Lidless eye..the sight of the world..i mean i think [redacted]#and he'll be [redacted] and [redacted] will be forced to... [redacted]???!?!!?#I want to keep my theories to myself.......or do i. not being a fandom person (other than dropping my art and leaving) means i just..#combust inside by myself with ideas and FEARS FOR THAT MAN.....CAN SOMEONE HELP HIM IM SO WORRIED IM SO...#CAN YOU LET SOMEONE HELP YOU#apparently tetia's expression in the last one is hard to understand =.= she's emotional bc she cant believe they remembered#the twin hat idea. and that she's so happy. i was thinking about how she was probably qif's first pupil so there must have been a time#where it was just her qif and oru... i DO think she is hinted strongly to be trans but even if not her mystery background is probably so sad#why would qifrey even become a teacher? his goal was the brimhats. but he keeps being distracted by kids with problem pasts so#he must have only been drawn to help tetia out of a deep sympathy. it seems at that point he and oru had drifted apart#did oru decide to be his watchful eye hearing about that or did qifrey ask him? he thought that qif had given up on brimhat stuff so..#*mumble mumble* lately i also keep remembering oru saying something UNREAL in kitchen like 'we're finally living under the same roof' ????#you can't just say that. what on earth. i..... whatever. i haven't even processed like 20% of my potential emotions about them#i feel so weirdly emotional today. i stopped thinking about witch hat for zuka even tho im SO hyperfixated it is genuinely PAINFUL to stop#i stopped just long enough to watch gatsby raku.... my haachan#i'm so grateful right now that i dont have any big issues in my life rn so i can get worried about manga men and sad about actors retiring#today at least i am extremely grateful. living and being alive is so so so so weird. i hope we all make it

Sir Ian McKellen as Gus bringing himself to near tears as he recalls having worked with Henry Irving and Herbert Beerbohm Tree. Like if you cry every time.
#CATS 2019 Film#extemporize back chat#sir i am asking you very kindly to not#listen#it's like he comes to the realization of how...long it's been#like how *truly* long it has been since that heyday#but also of what kind of accomplishment it truly was#it's a lot! and i'm sad!!#like say what you want about cats 2019 but if i ever hear anyone rag on ian mckellen it's on sight#because like imagine ragging on a man and saying it was a scar on his career when he not only put his entire ass into this role#but *also* probably was having fun! people just hate when actors take silly projects how does that mediocre sense of superiority taste?

there's a YouTube video where The Maze Runner cast gets back together on Zoom and reads through a few of the old scenes (basically acting them out but over Zoom)
apparently, Minho's introduction is described in the stage directions as, "4 boys detached from the surrounding party, not really a part of the peppy scene, like war veterans who never really quite assimilated into civilian life"
and then in the book The Maze Runner, there's "It hit Thomas then that the Runners were out in the Maze during the day and hadn't witnessed any of the recent events firsthand."
and I feel like we should talk about that more
#I don't know WHAT we're supposed to talk about because. Writer's Block.#but we should at least talk about it#I think I'm trying to say that it's kinda sad since he does genuinely care for his friends#(remember in book Death Cure when they had to leave Newt in the bowling alley and all Minho could do was ask#''how'd the world get so shucked?'')#but he never really gets to mingle or talk to the others so it's really just the Keepers that he's friends with#and even then he's probably out for too long for it to be more than business coworker relationships#anyway point is sometimes I wonder if Minho regrets being a Runner becuase of all the time he could've spent with his friends#I mean. in the end there really wasn't a point to 3 years of Running#the answer to the Maze was staring them in the face since the first couple of months#so all that time he could've spent with Newt in the fields or Alby managing supplies.. Gone#at least Gally and Frypan and Thomas are still here#....wait do you think he's kinda ''do not leave my fucking sight'' with the other three because of how much time he lost with Newt?

post-bite Jeremy doesn't actually have a lot of empathy but they manage to fake it by asking themself "what would >insert empathetic person here< do in this situation?"
#like they have no instincts for how to respond to other people's emotions#and just use how other people act and the memory of how they used to act as a model for their behaviour#they also have trouble with like. abstract concepts.#which could be why they were so unbothered by the labels thing when mike was freaking out about it#this is made so much worse if the ''insert empathetic person here'' is literally just#jeremy saying ''okay what would i have done before i got injured''#like they're constantly trying to live up to the person they used to be#and mike is like. that's not healthy.#not that mike is really the best authority on what is and isn't healthy. but.#saffron pawn au#maybe jeremy gets unnerved sometimes because like. they clearly enjoy other people's company#but they don't seem to get very attached to people.#there's no instinct for ''be happy when others are happy'' or ''be sad when others are sad''#or ''be comforting when others are sad'' in jeremy's head anymore. it's all stuff they have to actively remind themself#and they don't seem to *miss* people anymore. they have sort of an ''out of sight out of mind''#thing when it comes to people. jeremy's relationship with their own emotions are probably difficult#and distant as well. never able to identify what they're actually feeling. never aware that they're feeling anything#in the first place. unable to imagine what feelings feel like until they are actually feeling them#is it alarming that i'm using personal experiences to characterize someone with a severe brain injury?#probably.#oh and then there's jeremy being unnerved by not missing their sister anymore#but also being unnerved by the fact that they're not unnerved ENOUGH#they think they should be feeling more. they're handling this too well. something's just. fundamentally wrong.#oof ig jeremy isn't the one well-adjusted person in the au anymore#is valerie going to steal that title?
