pride and prejudice (2005) had the hand flex, and the other bennet sister has hands brushing as they both reach for the same book, as one drapes a shawl around the other, hands clasping as they step down from the carriage. the romance is all in the hand gestures people!!

all of my favorite fictional men

- are tormented

- a bit weird

- capable in swordsmanship

- commit indescribable acts of violence in the name of a cause & for the ones they love

i can’t believe all it took was arcturus watching a video of one persistent irish woman evading the republic of scion to start penning, On the Merits of Paige Mahoney (in his head of course)

unfortunately i do love it when people do stupid messed up stuff to the person they are in love with. like yes poison him often so he will always know you make a continuous choice to love him, cut off his hand (and fall headlong in love with a man who now fears you), force him to be doomed by the narrative, i could go on

[literaryrobin]

and i’ll do it again!!!

rereading your favorite book series will fix you btw

benedict bridgerton proving the hottest thing a man can do is yearn and be bisexual

[literaryrobin]

there’s nothing quite like a “but i am leaving for india” and a “leaving for the americas” plan to have the bridgerton men going out of their minds

sophie giving alfie the ‘that’s what you missed on glee’ catchup on her lore in 60 seconds? i cackled

[literaryrobin]

crazy how we went from one cottage to another. life goes on but the cottage endures

[literaryrobin]

we have yet another bridgerton brother experiencing intense yearning in a library. real romance is back babyyyyy

“i accidentally vaporize my pre-algebra teacher” is one of the most iconic chapter titles of all time. and followed immediately after by: “look, i didn’t want to be a halfblood”?? a complete banger. the world was never the same
