Mr. Darcy: hey, I just met you
Mr. Darcy: and this this crazy
Mr. Darcy: but I'm going to act coldly distant to you for a long time, , then awkwardly admit my undying love to you and save you from liking a horrible liar and gambler, then propose to you, telling you I love you not for your beauty but for your mind.
Mr. Darcy: so call me maybe.

martuch7 asked: hi! If I remember correctly, some time ago there was a discussion about Queen Victoria and her private journals (I fail to remember *why*). But if anyone's still interested in reading them, they're being published online. Here's an article from the Guardian (with the link to the actual site) guardian(.)co(.)uk/uk/2012/may/24/queen-victoria-private-journals-online?CMP=twt_gu By the...

Argh, one of my best friends refuses to accept that Austen is more than just “18th century romance novels”. He even went as far as to say that she’s the Regency era’s Stephenie Meyer. Help me win this argument, please? Asked by: thegirlwhodidntmakesense theotherausten: 1. OMG GET A NEW BEST FRIEND or TAKE THIS BITCH TO SCHOOL 2. Tell him to at least read a Jane Austen novel. Then tell him to...

aforeverwithin asked: "I’d say it’s a universal truth that people are fucking stupid and don’t understand irony." - THIS! OMG, I mean the whole response, really, is the cat's pajamas, but this sentence made me just fall off my chair from the sheer force of its awesomeness. I believe you do other Austenites, and indeed Jane herself, quite the credit :)

favourandgrace asked: Oh my goodness. Your points about Jane Austen/Stephenie Meyer. Yes, yes, and yes. I've read all of Austen's novels and the entire Twilight series (well, I was 16 at the time...) and I completely agree with you. Oh my gosh.

horcelain asked: Um, in response to your answer to the Meyer/Austen ask...will you marry me? On a slightly unrelated note, doesn't it piss you off when people lump Austen and all of the Brontes together? I love them all and it angers me a lot because it's so reductive. I kind of answered my own question but mostly I want us to get married.

screamingdustspecks asked: I've just finished watching the 1995 Sense and Sensibility, and I was wondering if you also found it weird how for the last 20 minutes or so Mr Palmer went from being totally useless to comforting Elinor, carrying Marianne, offering to stay and help, etc. (Mostly I just wanted an excuse to say hi and that I love your blog!)

Jane Austen Regrets
hallomynameisfishie: Everyone see this film! It rocks my period film socks off! There is witty humor and wonderful scenery, and, yes, very sad moments. The actors were absolutely fantastic too. :D God I love the BBC YOU WILL REGRET NOTHING
