Hold my flower Mr. Darcy!
1000th POST!!!
Ever think about how the final twist of Persuasion relies so heavily on the pure intimacy and magnetism between Anne and Wentworth? Wentworth has to rely only on all his own quick ingenuity and intuition where Anne is concerned to have any certainty whatsoever that she will move to the spot where he was, that his ruse in returning to draw her eye to the papers on the table will be enough for her to understand that he has left something for her, even after everything that’s passed, after he departed without daring to say goodbye or look at her.
The whole novel is a long examination of Anne’s painful awareness of Wentworth–his proximity, his character, the way he thinks and moves.
This silent signalling to deliver his letter to her is the breaking of a dam–a clear sign that Wentworth has been aware of her, and her awareness of him, and that he is stepping back into the dance they once shared. Even before Anne has opened the letter, she can sense the portent of his action, alone.

Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on November 16, 1581
Ilya Repin
This painting depicts the historical 16th century story of Ivan the Terrible mortally wounding his son in Ivan in a fit of rage. By far the most psychologically intense of Repin’s paintings, the Emperor’s face is fraught with terror, as his son lay quietly dying in his arms, blood dripping down the side of his face.
All Is Vanity, Charles Allan Gilbert, 1896
I was listening to Eat Me, Drink Me by Marilyn Manson and this picture came to mind. His lyrics somehow always remind me of KS, especially in this song.
I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been
The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”
my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”

‘People have literally just always been people’ is genuinely my favorite fact about the world

Common dog names have literally not changed in 3,000 years.

It seems the Victorians also found word play amusing. From 1891.
