darcy's first proposal was basically

darcy: i can't believe i have to marry this woman

the reader: i mean... you don't have to

darcy: no, i'm gonna

elizabeth: no

darcy: ..... the fuck you mean "no"

[obscureau]

personally I DONT think Jane Austen intended for Mr. Bennet to be paying Mrs. Bennet a genuine compliment when he said she was as beautiful as any of their daughters. He seems kind of incapable of paying his wife a real compliment.

BUT

I still think we should have MILF Mrs. Bennet. I think everyone should be like “damn” when they see her and then she opens her mouth and they’re like “oh”. I want them to go through the same process Mr. Bennet did, in a much shorter time frame.

[bethanydelleman]

I think Mr. Bennet is saying that Mrs. Bennet is still beautiful, but for him that wouldn't be a compliment. In his perspective, her beauty ruined his life. So it's probably like he's saying, "Mr. Bingley better watch out, your beauty STILL might tempt him into the worst marriage ever unfortunately."

and totally yes to the second statement. But I want her to also have a very sexy voice, that you quickly realize is spouting nonsense.

[princesssarisa]

Yes to all of this! In some future adaptation, let’s have a youngish Mrs. Bennet (because honestly, if she married as young as Elizabeth does, she would be 44 or 45, and if she married as young as Lydia does, she would be just 39 or 40!), who may be slightly overweight (from giving birth five times), but otherwise is still stunning, so we see where Mr. Bennet’s mistake came from.

For that matter, give us a Mr. Bennet no older than 50, to reinforce that he married his wife out of blind youthful infatuation, and make him good-looking too, to reinforce that it was mutual. (Although of course the future Mrs. Bennet also had the motive of social climbing.)

Mrs Jennings!!!!

Since Rocky and Grace have access to a ton of video games on the Hail Mary, I figured eventually they'd play Just Dance during their trip to Erid

Did this back in September and completely forgot about it. They are my favorite little guys from stormlight and I would die for them

[marzipanandminutiae]

like they both suck in some ways, but...

Mr. Rochester: yes, I tried to get you to marry me when my wife, who suffers from violent psychosis and can never get help in this era, was still alive. without you knowing about her. also you are 18 and I'm 40. I do love you, though, and when you're being Very Jane(tm) I love that too, even if it's inconvenient for me

St. John: I don't and cannot love you. but if you don't marry me and do everything I want, regardless of your own feelings and wishes, you're going to hell :)

[bethanydelleman]

Me when Jane found out Rochester was attempting bigamy: Run Jane run!

Me after meeting St. John Rivers: BRING ME BACK THE ATTEMPED BIGAMIST!!!

The way he tries to use her faith to manipulate her into a loveless marriage sickens me to the core in a way Rochester just can't achieve.

Rocky chose a hand to match Grace's scar!

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *flatly* it is not my fault if others cannot handle a gentleman of high status and proper manners-their hurt feelings are not my concern.

Elizabeth Bennet: do not worry, when a gentleman of high status and proper manners arrives we will call you.

Fitzwilliam Darcy: *shocked, shocked I say* that’s-I-you hurt my feelings!

Elizabeth Bennet: how is that my concern?

[uprooted-and-sideways-blog]

Hey! I absolutely loved Uprooted and i'm glad your blog exists :) But what do you think: would sarkan go back to living in the tower or do you think he'd actually move in with agnieszka?

I think at first, Sarkan would totally object to even going near Agnieszkas home (“You actually live in a tree, you lunatic?!“) but he’s just a big baby, so after taking his sweet time complaining he’d probably take a liking to Agnieszkas (literal) tree house.

He would never take his books there though, out of fear that they’d get wet and moldy. Also, the amount of books he owns is just too high to transport all of them, even with magic.

Sarkan ends up spending most of his time in Agnieszkas tree and following her around through the Wood, but keeps his library in the tower. Sometimes Agnieszka sleeps at the tower, sometimes he sleeps in the tree (it often takes Agnieszka coaxing him into it, though).

Thanks for your question and your kind words, anon! <3

He turned a cold certain look over them like the sweep of a scythe. “For however many of them will be left,” he said. I shivered.

 “You still don’t think this is a good idea. Even after Jerzy.” A thin plume of smoke still rose from the Wood, where the heart-tree burned: we’d seen it yesterday. 

“It’s a dreadful idea,” the Dragon said. “But letting Marek lead you and Solya in there without me is a still-worse one. At least I have some idea what to expect. Come: we don’t have much time.”

Painted Shallan as a reward after a long-dreaded presentation earlier this week. I don’t think I will ever get used to speaking in front of a group of people….

Kaladin vs the Shardbearer in gold

I am a big fan of the first book, and especially this fight! So I always wanted to draw something from it :3

I hope I did it justice - drawing the armor is always so difficult 😮‍💨 also Kaladin in green just feels wrong xD

I took some creative liberties with the sword - ✨

[questions-about-blorbos]

A block of cheddar cheese (no knife, just teeth)

Cereal with water because the milk is gone

A singular, unwashed apple

Just a handful of ice cubes

Bread slice soaked in tap water because they “wanted it softer”

Pickles dipped in sugar because “it needed something”

Half a stick of butter like it’s a protein bar

Instant ramen dry, seasoning packet poured straight into mouth

A tortilla. Just… a plain tortilla. Folded like it’s something more

Cold leftover pasta eaten directly from the fridge with bare hands

Spoonfuls of peanut butter straight from the jar, no water, no regrets

Okay I'm biting, I'm chomping down on the hook - could you tell me a little bit about the queen's thief and why I should read it?

hm. ok. so the queen’s thief is about a trickster who wants to go down in history but as soon as it starts happening he’s like NO NOT LIKE THAT. and also about the people he befriends against their will :)

it’s an ancient greece/byzantine era-inspired world that starts off very focused on one person and then as his significance grows it zooms out to show you more and more of what it becomes increasingly clear are history-making events of this land, gradually gaining perspective and quickly gaining layers and layers of political intrigue, all of which is connected on thematic levels to the mythology of this world

...but it all starts with a grimy teenager sitting in prison because he got busted for bragging about how good he is at stealing

you should read it if you love mythology, courtly intrigue, and ruthless politics being no match for the saving power of trusting those you love. if you don’t love slow, classic fantasy quest road trips maybe don’t start with the first book tho

featuring characters such as:

a thief who wants to be famous. what kind of thief wants to be famous for being a thief. gen that’s so dumb

a pure beam of sunshine who will commit acts of international violence

a guard who is having a very bad day

an accountant who is having an even worse day

a queen whom i love and adore with all my heart

a queen who has murdered many people whom i also love and adore with all my heart

many tired old men

and more!
