I named my dog Cedric Doggory... I'm that woman. These days I'm researching making your own theme park and Disney stuff. Because I'm that women too...

Sometimes I wonder how often Lizzie brought up how Mr. Darcy said she was tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt him whenever they were having a fight. Cause I would never let that shit go.

How many people told her the regency equivalent of “Get a room”?

Literally the only three things you need to know about Jane Austen

1. Her first major novel (Northanger Abbey) was written solely because she was so salty about how dramatic and cliche and formula Gothic novels were. You know what I mean. Every castle is foreboding. Every villain is awful but can’t bring himself to kill the heroine because she’s Too Pure. Every middle-aged female companion wants to do the heroine in. The heroine is Pure and Perfect and Is Good At Everything Young Women Should Be and recites quotes and/or the Bible whenever she’s in danger and that makes everything better. All butlers are evil. Jane Austen wrote a book specifically to go “THIS is how NORMAL people react to things!!!”

2. “She never changed her opinion about books or men”

3. “As a girl she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances” and you know what that means. Jane Austen started off writing smut fanfiction. If that’s not writing reassurement that you can be great no matter what you choose to write, I don’t know what is.

(Both quotes from the Penguin Classics version of Northanger Abbey)

Margaret liked this smile; it was the first thing she had admired in this new friend of her father’s; and the opposition of character, shown in all these details of appearance she had just been noticing, seemed to explain the attraction they evidently felt towards each other.

When did I develop a book boyfriend crush on Richard Armitage? You shouldn’t have to ask...

[jaeausten]

Lizzie! You’ll never guess what just happened in town. I bumped into some ladies, I stopped off at that lovely milliners we have in Lambton and we were having the most civil conversation until I mentioned I was Mrs Darcy’s sister, at which point they turned their backs on me and walked away. I marched straight up to them and I said I wasn’t in the slightest bit ashamed of you!

I’ll be honest, Jenna Coleman is probably my favorite version of Lydia.
