guys i’m so sorry to say this but exercising and indulging in hobbies rather than scrolling on your phone for 200 hours actually does improve your mood and overall mental health, this has deeply upset me more than anyone

Had [Captain Wentworth] wished ever to see her again, he need not have waited till this time; he would have done what she could not but believe that in his place she should have done long ago, when events had been early giving him the independence which alone had been wanting.

The thought of Anne Elliot, 21 years old and full of trembling hope, treasuring a newspaper clipping telling of the heroic capture of such and such French frigate by Captain Wentworth of H.M. Sloop Asp, and wondering whether he would now return into Somersetshire is breaking my heart. He did not come. She knew him to be in a position to renew his addresses and yet he did not come. Next she heard of him would have been an entry in a navy list declaring him posted to the Laconia. And at twenty-two she received a proposal from Charles Musgrove. Which she refused, for a man who left her in heartsick resentment and did not return to her.

“Tell me if, when I returned to England in the year eight, with a few thousand pounds, and was posted into the Laconia, if I had then written to you, would you have answered my letter? Would you, in short, have renewed the engagement then?” “Would I!” was all her answer; but the accent was decisive enough. “Good God!” he cried, “you would!”

Wentworth is holding on by thread to the idea that Anne is an absolutely unsuitable match for him upon his return because he wants someone with a strong mind and she's proven herself weak willed. And then. Lyme happens. and Louisa gets hurt. and Anne. Capable Anne, is the only one with a braincell when Louisa cracks her head like an egg. While he, the naval captain, uselessly flutters around until she starts ordering him about. and he spends the next several weeks wrapping his head around the fact that he is an idiot.

When Jane Austen wrote that 'such a letter was not to be soon recovered from' about what Wentworth wrote to Anne in Persuasion, I don't think she exactly meant it in the sense that people more than two hundred years after she penned such a letter would still struggle to get beyond the first three sentences without slamming their book shut in order to blush, giggle and kick their feet. And yet... that's precisely what I just did...

"I am ready to fall in love with any woman who wants to love me and isn't Anne Elliot," said Captain Wentworth, lying to both the audience and himself all at once

Kid today (probably like 6 years) came up to me and was like "teacher teacher what's your name" and i was like "asha :) also im not a teacher" and he was like "okay asha asha asha I need help" and i was like "okay buddy what's wrong" and he showed me this chunk of metal he'd found sitting in the sun that he was just carrying around and it was super sharp and super hot from the sun and he was like "my hand hurts :(" and i was like "ok. put that down. does it still hurt?" And he did and was like "no." and then he picked it up again and immediately went "my hand hurts :(" again and then I was like "kid. put that down and stop touching it" and he was like "ok but when I touch it my hand hurts :(" and i was like "Please Just Stop Touching That. If you dont touch it your hand won't hurt" and this went on for like another 2 minutes before i got him to realize that if he stopped touching the metal it would not hurt. Kids are so fucking weird man

Comments that make me realize this kid is probably what I sounded like to my therapist when complaining about the consequences of all my bad habits

The only good thing about the Twilight movies is that everyone is acting like they're trapped in this awful film, except Michael Sheen, who is clearly having an absolute BLAST every second he's onscreen

“Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything.”
