when i catch myself lurking someone i’m supposed to be forgetting

Why was Shrek’s soundtrack so incredible like who sat down and decided that a movie about an ogre would have a beautiful Rufus Wainwright ballad followed by a Smash Mouth/Eddie Murphy cover of I’m A Believer and how can I thank them

Henceforth I will be referring to Guillermo del Toro’s latest film as ‘Grinding Nemo’.

In Spanish we don’t say “I love you” we say “donald trump es un pedazo de mierda ojalá que un día se convierta en un insecto y lo pueda matar con mi chancla y después untar su sangre de insecto en una toalla y tirar esa toalla en un fuego grande que hice con los cuerpos de un millón de republicanos pedazos de mierda come culos hijo de putas” and i think that’s beautiful.

Mr Collinses

Reddit user TheABrown describes “nice guy” in literary terms and nails it:

A friend of mine who is big into English literature has described a big chunk of them as “The Mr Collinses of the world who are bewildered and angry that not even Charlotte Lucas will have them now that she has more options.”

For those who haven’t read Pride and Prejudice, Mr Collins is a character who has a decent income, isn’t vicious, but he’s annoying and unpleasant. After being rejected by the heroine, he marries another woman called Charlotte Lucas, who marries him because she’s getting older, not likely to have another proposal, and is worried about living the rest of her life as the maiden aunt in genteel poverty dependent on her father or brother.

I also like the second comment:

I mean, the feckless Wickhams of the world will always attract the silly Lydias; and the genuinely decent and honourable Bingleys and Darcys seem to find their Janes and Elizabeths - but the modern Charlottes - well, lots of them, now that it’s socially acceptable, and financially viable, to be single, would much prefer to spend the rest of their lives living in their own little one-bedroom flats, working their sensible, modestly renumerated jobs, and spending their evenings with friends, pizza, wine, and their pet cats if their options for marriage and partnership are Mr Collinses, regardless of whether Mr Collins has a respectable career or a nice house in the suburbs.

The Mr Collinses are (usually) not vicious or nasty or even objectively a terrible life decision (like a Wickham), but most Charlottes don’t want to spend their lives with them if there’s another option.

The other problem of course is that a lot of Mr Collinses are under some sort of delusion that they’re Mr Darcy/Mr Bingley/Mr Knightley etc.

I think the best definition of a “Nice Guy” is “Someone who’s convinced he’s Mr. Darcy but is really Mr. Collins.”

^ Yes this.

Mind you his travelling fifty miles to…er…commiserate on Lydia’s disgrace? Is maybe not vicious in the physical sense but at BEST it’s horribly tone deaf and at worse outright gloating.

Also worth pointing out:

Collins is turned down by Lizzie and disbelieves her. She says several times in the strongest terms that she doesn’t want him but NOPE, she can’t possibly be serious. It takes her leaving the room to get it through his head.

Darcy, by contrast, is turned down and is shocked, but he doesn’t NOT TAKE HER SERIOUSLY. He’s appalled that she would ever think of turning him down, he demands to know why (and by gum does she let him have it) but he takes her at her word. At which point he leaves.

AND THEN TRIES TO DO BETTER.

Mr Collins bumbles off and proposes to the first woman who doesn’t roll her eyes at him. Darcy goes off and attempts to amend his faults, not to win Lizzie over but Because She Is Right and He Was Being An Arse.

“The recollection of what I then said, of my conduct, my manners, my expressions during the whole of it, is now, and has been many months, inexpressibly painful to me. Your reproof, so well applied, I shall never forget: “had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner.” Those were your words. You know not, you can scarcely conceive, how they have tortured me; – though it was some time, I confess, before I was reasonable enough to allow their justice.”

I love me some Pride and Prejudice. (points at videos)

So much Jane Austen reveals that there is nothing new under the damn sun.

As I said when the Google Memo hit: If there’s a story about gender out there, there’s probably an Austen quote for it.

From Persuasion:

Captain Harville:”I won’t allow it to be any more man’s nature than women’s to be inconstant or to forget those they love or have loved. I believe the reverse. I believe… Let me just observe that all histories are against you, all stories, prose, and verse. I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which did not have something to say on women’s fickleness.” Anne Elliot: “But they were all written by men. ”

Have we already forgotten the movie that was literally called Remember Me??

earlier I had an exam in my textile history class and the girl to my left was obviously stumped because she was fidgeting/tapping her pencil on her desk furiously and I was like dam what is she stresst about, so I looked over and saw that she was on a short response question about silk production and all she had written was “The worm” and idk why it was so funny to me but I couldn’t concentrate for the duration of the test and I think I failed
