I've said before about how much I loved...
ravengoodwoman:
about how, when I first read it, I felt like Anne Elliot was me, and this author, this wonderful author who I will never meet and who wrote this story two hundred years ago, took my heart and put it down on paper.
You can say how much Jane Austen has absolutely no relevance to current life, or that her stories are boring, or just stupid love stories, but this story touched my...

Anonymous asked: <p>My sexual preferences lean toward my own sex rather than the opposite. You can only imagine how much indignation my parents feel toward this. I’ve been in relationships with those of my sex before, and my parents kept an amiable, if not cool attitude toward them. One day, I want to be married (or at least wind up with) someone of my own gender, and I want my parents to...

Jane Austen fans—YOU’VE GOT TO WATCH THIS. The part about Jane Austen and baseball starts at 1:44. It’s HILARIOUS. “Laugh Out Loud” is an understatement here.

Anonymous asked: <p>I find myself beginning to like someone who lives miles and miles from me- so far, they’re in another time zone. But, with each passing day, I want to make this person smile and talk to them until I fall asleep. My attraction grows, though there is little chance I’d ever be able to physically see them. What do you suggest I do?</p>

Pride and Prejudice #2
modernausten:
Mr. Collins says:
“As I must therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me, I shall choose to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females.”
Translation:
“You’re playing with my feelings. Rejection it normal. I guess all women do that.”
Or rather, “Bitch, don’t pretend you...

If you are so determined to provoke me by forcing me into the most awkward situations, be assured, I am quite capable of returning the action. In modern terminology, I believe the statement, “bring it on” would be fitting for my intended meaning.

Pride and Prejudice #1
modernausten:
Mr. Darcy says:
“She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.”
Translation:
“She’s okay looking, but not hot. And I don’t want sloppy seconds.”

I think people submitting to the AustenConfessions...
ravengoodwoman:
THere are more to her stories than just the men, or the relationships! Come on, now!
______
Seriously! And I thought confessions were supposed to be thoughts that you are hesitant to share with the world. Nothing scandalous or earth shattering about ‘I love Mr. Darcy.’ Come on, Janeites! Let’s talk about our complicated feelings about Jane Austen and her...

Review for Northanger Abbey on Netflix
ravengoodwoman:
“I was so disappointed in this movie after watching several others based on Austen’s books. Caution for conservative parents: DO NOT watch this with kids present! It is full of crude insinuations, and there is even one scene where she is reading out loud from a very explicit dirty book! I hated this, and will be much more careful in the future. I assumed all the Masterpiece...

pemberley-state-of-mind:
Lizzie stares at her. Darcy at her wedding?
Lizzie: Mr. Darcy was at your wedding? Mr. Darcy?
Lydia: Oh stop it, Lizzie. Mr. Darcy’s not half as high and mighty as you, sometimes.
“I love the way Lydia gets it right there. Albeit, unknowingly. Unwittingly”.
(Joe Wright, Director)
