i think i tend to forget how good boredom is for creativity because we're all so addicted to numbing ourselves with screens and stimulation. but standing in the shower or going for a walk with no music or just sitting in your bedroom without being allowed to touch any screens & all of a sudden i have multiple new projects to start, a solution to a months-long plot problem & 4 new original characters
who up iambicing their pentameter rn
modern Snow White where instead of a magic mirror it's just an AI chatbot driving the stepmother insane because it's programmed to agree with her and confirm her fears
this would go SO HARD I need it pls
The most genius thing about Mr. Darcy's first proposal to Elizabeth Bennet, IMO, is that you can totally see how he would believe it to be romantic and well received, even though he says the most monumentally stupid and hurtful stuff. Because Darcy is not actually stupid, nor is he actually bad, and Jane Austen had to come up with a way for him to propose in an awful way that was still believable. She nailed it.
Like, if you think about it, the idea of "this marriage is a bonkers idea that will make everyone I know upset but I don't care at all because I love you so much and cannot live without you and fuck everything else" is incredibly romantic and flattering. Who doesn't want to be wanted that badly? You can actually understand why Darcy thinks it's a good idea to say this out loud.
But the great thing about this sentiment is that it's simultaneously incredibly insulting. Who wants to hear that getting married to them would be bonkers? It makes you feel less-than, a feeling which the high and mighty Darcy has zero experience with and doubtless no conception of. It would be impossible to put himself into Elizabeth's shoes in this situation. Which again, makes it believable that he would say such stupid stuff to her in this proposal, even though he's an intelligent guy.
I'm just in awe of Jane Austen at creating a proposal that is simultaneously deliciously romantic and monumentally idiotic and horrible at the same time. It's pretty much the worst possible way to propose, a total train wreck, and yet you can buy Darcy believing it to be a smart way to propose. I love 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"
why are they always having a cunt off.
Pride & Prejudice, dir. Joe Wright
