PURE MINDLESS VANDALISM

Well rounded nerd

[liberalsarecool]

The history of corporate propaganda.

'Nobody wants to work' fails to mention the poverty wages and horrible workplaces.

Reframe the narrative: Capitalists refuse to pay thriving wages.

if you're a Starfleet captain theres a hidden device in ur chair that shoots a laser directly into your head and it makes you desire ur first officer carnally (does NOT make them return feelings tho) but if you're bald it reflects the beam and just makes everyone else on the ship really horny for each other.

case 1 evidence: tos, voy, ent

case 2 evidence: tng, ds9

[romulanfucker]

next person to think they're catching me in a fuckup by going "op so you're saying sisko was super into kira for three seasons ???????" owes me $500 bc sisko wasn't promoted to captain until the season 3 finale and then by the season 4 opener had shaved completely bald. tell me again i don't know star trek I dare you

listen……. ‘my love’ is literally the strongest and greatest pet name in existence. there is literally nothin better than somone callin you that….. especially when things are soft and quiet and they look at you with utter adoration and whisper “what’s the matter, my love??” or “i hope everything is okay with you, my love” like oh my god?? let me marry you already

If Catherine Morland traded places with Jonathan Harker, Dracula would be like ten pages max

[gotinterest]

Ok but what I also love about Dracula is him being like "I'm not like the cool kids I like DARKNESS and SHADOWS. I HATE mirth AND warmth. I like my buildings OLD and DILAPIDATED, thank you!" and my Johnathan not even thinking that is weird enough to comment upon he just like fucking accepts it.

things in 19th century novels that bring me an immense amount of joy

a passive aggressive pianoforte moment

any country dance scene

flower symbolism

the love interest telling the heroine he loves her mid panic attack

a women rejecting a marriage proposal from a man she hates

hands

when lore gets dropped via letter

and, most importantly, the First Name Drop™

The Brontë sisters are dark academia, but Jane Austen is light academia. Change my mind.

The Hesitant Betrothed by Auguste Toulmouche (1866)

[northamericanghost-deactivated2]

I have always adored this painting. Having the central female figure stare with awareness at her viewer is a very powerful move, and something not often given to women in paintings. It creates an engagement with the viewer, she sees you and she knows you are watching her. She is no longer an object in an image, she is a person.

[kawaikunaii]

You know she gon’ kill the man she has to marry

[kakaphoe]

I like how everyone else is totally excited the women are congratulating her, the little girl is so into being a flower girl.

And she’s there in middle going “THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT.”

[jhameia]

“the hesitant betrothed” there is NOTHING HESITANT about that expression

[shiraglassman]

Whoa. This is really dramatic and unexpected :)

[batboybisexualism]

The “Fuck This Shit” Betrothed

[cluegrrl]

This is the ‘Isn’t It A Tragedy She Was Widowed So Young’ Betrothed, is what it is.

episode 3 of pride and prejudice 1995 may be the funniest

“shelves in the closet? happy thought indeed”

“i thought at least the pigs had gotten into the garden”

“what - *camera zooms in on lady catherine* - all your sisters out at once?”

“colonel fitzwilliam why is your cousin staring at me” - darcy comes over and makes awkward small talk. colonel fitzwilliam smirks at lizzie like “he’s got it bad, girlfriend”

“if i had ever learnt [to play piano] i would have been a true proficient”

colonel fitzwilliam sitting back to watch the carnage as lizzie goes for darcy’s throat. darcy’s little smirk as he says “I am not afraid of you”

darcy rolls his eyes when lady catherine interrupts his flirt-fest with lizzie

if mangoes didn’t have the stone in the middle, humanity would reach a new level of hedonism. we could just eat thru the whole thing without having to think. we’d permanently regress to a primal state. the seed grounds us, makes us careful when we eat. this defines us. fuck i wish i had a mango
