you can claim that pride & prejudice (2005) is overplayed and overdone. whatever. i’ll let you have your opinions. but every time i see a smash cut of clips from that movie where darcy is looking at elizabeth like she is a lake in a desert and he’s been forbidden to swim makes me want to scream. i’m genuinely afraid i will die without knowing what it feels like to have someone look at me like that. do you hear what i’m saying. i’m eating my drywall

Me: What the fuck. David Corenswet is Superman. The guy who built Star Wars Legos with my brother when they were 14. I knew he had an acting career, he did theater and commercials back then and he was in some Netflix stuff, but Superman?

Husband: congratulations, you are having the authentic experience of being Clark Kent's coworker

[mjalti]

why? did she say something to you? tell me word for word

[inkskinned]

she said you are trying your best and she’s proud of you no matter what.

everyone like 'oh YA sci-fi like Hunger Games where the protagonist is special" is SO wrong that's other YA sci-fi which tried to copy thg and failed. Katniss is only important because she loves her sister. The regime doesn't fall because of uniqueness or skill or some inherent difference or ability. Sure she can shoot but that's not important. the regime falls because a girl loves her sister. Don't you get it.

If you think the main draw to Pride and Prejudice is "enemies to lovers with a rich man" then you've explicitly missed the point.

The draw is "rich haughty man realizes the error of his ways, makes sincere attempts to rectify his mistakes, and in the end expects literally nothing in return because he does genuinely truly love the girl who rejected him and he didn't want her to ever believe she 'owed' him or that he did it merely to get in her good graces"

to have failed is a sign you tried…. the mistakes, the relationships that didn’t make it, the job you didn’t get, the plans that fell through…. you tried, you lived, you loved.

don’t understand where people get the energy to be an active participant in their own lives. the days just happen to me for real

i love how we pick up habits and phrases and songs from people we love and it sticks with us for so long it becomes a piece of us making us a museum of all the people we've ever loved
