“Maybe I should just hand someone twenty bucks and have them surprise me with coffee. They could get themselves something, keep the change, make it worthwhile, whatever. Start there, then work up to, I don’t know, blank checks so they can plan a vacation for me. Trick myself into finally feeling like someone…” Eddie fills in the blank, like someone cares about me, and then he opens his mouth and ruins his own life. “I could do that.” * Probie-with-a-trust-fund Buck wants to be spoiled and finally-divorced empty-nester Eddie refuses to let anyone else do it.

I think my feelings about Edmund Bertram and Fanny Price can be summed up in the idea that of all the Jane Austen heroines, she's the only one who has a zero percent chance of getting cunnilingus.

Captain Wentworth thinks there is nothing so proper as going down on Anne. Henry Tilney? You cannot doubt. Charles Bingley? Jane would be completely embarrassed but he'll talk her into it. Elizabeth needs to bring Darcy around but we know she can do it. Edward would go on his knees for Elinor. Colonel Brandon needs to protect his knees but Marianne doesn't even make a single old age joke about it. Emma can ask for what she wants but Fanny Price...

Fanny Price takes what she is given and expresses endless gratitude. And while Edmund is perceptive, he was the only one to help when she couldn't write home to her brother, he bought her the chain when she needed something for her cross... he also has this quietly selfish quality to him (the Portsmouth letter that doesn't ask anything about her and "Fanny think of me!") and a penchant for expecting Fanny to be his mirror and go along with all his expectations ("asking" for advice about joining the play and their conversation about Henry's proposal) which leaves me absolutely certain that he will just do whatever satisfies himself in bed and never think about giving Fanny anything more. And she'll be content, just like she was with his half-written little note and the endless useless gifts from Tom, and never understand that she could have so much more. Mary Crawford could have gotten head out of Edmund, but never Fanny Price.

And yes, I know I know, it was the Regency times, women are not basing their happiness on their expectation for orgasms but I can still want the very best things for them can't I?

(I realize not all people who identify as female want or like cunnilingus, but I just want the possibility to be there)

this is so correct and you know what's worse? edmund would convince himself that there's some reason it's not necessary or 'bad for fanny' or some other excuse not to do it and basically treat it like it's empirical fact when it's really just his own selfish feelings about it.

he does this in how he feels about mary crawford, again and again. not only that, he sees fanny as a person right up until the moment it conflicts with something he wants, and we all know how well-documented that is in the book.

[bethanydelleman]

Your tags! #it makes me so tempted to write a fix-it fic where henry crawford never elopes with maria rushworth#he is true to fanny and gives her everything she could ever dream of and edmund has to sit there and watch basically#not only does he not get mary he doesn't get fanny either and she's deliriously happy with henry because he devotes himself to her#in the way no one else ever did#and i'd possibly tell it from edmund's POV

(I want this for entirely selfish Edmund-hating reasons)

Also, you might really like this fic where Fanny marries Tom and Edmund is soooo Edmund about it:

the duty of huſbands towards their wives

Here’s the thing: authors know when they get a rec on an older story. There’s a telltale uptick of kudos (with a 10-15% comment rate if you’re lucky) in your digest email.

The thing is, there’s no way to know where these people are coming from. In the before, when fandom was more in the corners we all knew about, you could search LJ or a message board or whatever social bookmarking site we were using. You could join the community and participate.

You could get a little dopamine hit by seeing someone tell their friends why they loved your story.

Anymore, those recs are hidden in discords, or in tiktoks or instagram slideshows that you can’t search for. They’re inaccessible, not discoverable unless you’re already there. You may never know why 27 people left kudos on an old story of yours, what they liked and found in your writing. You just get the thumbs up and a kinda lonely feeling, cause these could be your people. You could like them, maybe. You could be friends.

But you’ll never find out why they stopped by, or what people are saying about you behind your back, and that’s sad.

So thank you to the people who still do public rec lists on this webbed site. You are my sunshine, and I’m appreciative of all of you.

You can't die from hunger or thirst or lack of medication etc.

It doesn't matter which books you've already read. You have to read them all, starting from now.

Physical books only - if you have an e-reader in there you don't have to read your entire digital library.

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if it was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

today’s date is the 3rd? what’s next, the 4th? the 5th? the minor fall, the major lift? 

[catja]

can't believe it took me eight months of bookbinding before finishing a single bellarke fanbind, but delighted to start out with this anthology of fics by @bettsfic (talking with you in the dark, the art of scraping through, and moderation). half letter, 72k, 272 pages. bookcloth is cotton canvas with medium/paste mix, title painted with textile acrylics.

[catja]

so i meant to make two copies, but the guillotine ate one and i was just not in the mood to reprint seventy pages. it took a few months to get around to redoing mine, and in that time i fell in love with octavo (2.75"x4.25") books, so i re-imposed it and made a miniature version! it basically turned into 4 pt text, which is perfectly legible if you're already used to having headaches when you read and you're pretty nearsighted anyway. everything else is the same, except for dark blue endpapers and metallic thread on the endbands. someday i hope to reunite my copy with @bettsfic's and get a picture of both books together.

[catja]

delighted to announce that i finally met up with @bettsfic last week and made this happen.

You can have any animal for a pet. Any complications such as “keeping the animal healthy and happy” and “the time and effort it would take to keep happy and healthy pet” and “keeping yourself uneaten” and “the pet I want is kind of extinct” have all been solved perfectly. You don’t have to think of that.

What is your pet?
