Marianne Dashwood | twenty-one love is not love that alters when it alteration finds | no, 'tis an ever-fix'ed mark

ooc | Brandon & Marianne

[colonelbrandonau]

OH MY GOSH, but seriously tho that’s the exact image I was getting, too, ahah. Like there’s so many guys in Austen who are super flirty and would be only too eager to say what Marianne wants to hear in exchange for her smiles and like I feel like everyone week brings another one and Brandon is all but chasing them away with sticks (if they fail his 9-part interview he probs will ;DD jk jk but seriously) 

And he like eyes all of them with distrust and suspicion, although it’ll be different if someone comes along who really likes her that is worthy then he’ll be like SADNESS BC THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN/END WELL, but also happy bc Marianne will be happy. 

Anyway, so should we start them?? And do you want to RP out their first meeting?? Or start when they are friends? Or start when Marianne’s starting to get sick of him bc everyone is like NOW KISS. I’m totally down with any of those tbh. :D

[marianneau]

Haha. Right?! Sheesh. Marianne just needs to cool it with being so pretty and young and vivacious. Brandon's gonna get a hernia from all his running around and waving of canes at all these young men hoping to tarnish the virtue of his dear Marianne. ;D

But oh man, idk who, but you know SOMEONE will come along like that. Whether it's Willoughby or Wickham or whomever (WOAH, MY BRAIN JUST WENT KNIGHTLEY, THO IDK MAN.) that either pretends to love her or sincerely does, and Marianne will just rant and rave about all their best qualities, and poor Brandon. D:

But yes! We should start them! Though I suppose, hmm. Maybe their first meeting? (Certainly helps that I'm watching movie!S&S rn. My heart. bbys.) Because then we can flow into them being friends! Which is the fun part until JENNIINNGGSSS!!!!! *shakes fist into air*

Do you want me to start these two? I think you offered to start someone else... I'm kind of bopping around ooc posts as I see them. I'm not being very organized about it. lol.

ooc | Fanny & Marianne

So WOW Fanny just loooovvveess Marianne, haha. I feel like she’s def her least favorite relative b/c I feel like Marianne’s the only one to actually fight back when Fanny is being a total bitch and Fanny is like NO. (Although if something develops/looks like it is developing between Elinor and Edward, than the least favorite Dashwood award might go to her sister haha). 

[marianneau]

Haha. Preach.

And Fanny is TOOTALLLYY Marianne's favorite too. ;D Haha.

But oh man, like just waves of hatred coming from Marianne towards Fanny. Especially if she starts being cruel to Elinor. Because NO ONE gets to hurt Marianne's sisters!

Though she'd probably just be more obnoxious towards Fanny. haha.  Because it's about the only advantage she's got over Fanny.

ooc | Brandon & Marianne

[colonelbrandonau]

COLONEL BRANDON IS GOING TO STRAIGHT UP MURDER MRS. JENNINGS. ;DD (jk jk but seriously she does not help these two at all, haha). 

But ugh now I’m like imagining like six guys sitting around Marianne reading her poetry and Colonel Brandon is like brooding in a corner like I HAVE ZERO GAME. But also being all “What are you intentions towards Miss Marianne?” to like everyone of them and basically like the book but a thousand times worse. Like idk who but I def feel like Marianne’s spirit will attract a handful of guys and yeah. 

And yayyy for those .2 seconds when they are kinda friends tho. B/c they def do have some similar interests and even where they differ Brandon is so supportive b/c one of the things he loves about her is her passion and he loves her playing and def gets her lots of sheet music (like even if he doesn’t give it to her directly, he always makes sure that the piano forte at Barton (and like all the other places they will be hanging out here haha) is stocked with new pieces and just GROSS SOBBING b/c i feel like he does a lot of little things like that for Marianne that go unnoticed. ); 

[marianneau]

Haha! I bet Marianne would help tbqh. ;D Keep Mrs. Jennings from doing any more meddling in anyone's lives, including her own.

Oh man, I'm just getting so many Scarlett O'Hara flashes rn. Hahaha. Marianne at a picnic surrounded by Wickham and Willoughby and Frank Churchill and Henry Crawford and basically like... all of the pretty boys that like seducing pretty girls. Haha. And she just sits in the center laughing and flirting and batting her eyelashes.

Hilarious.

Though poor Brandon, because per usual she wouldn't really think twice about him when she has all these young men paying attention to her and flattering her. Plus, she'd still be miffed that ANYONE would try and tell her that he was the perfect husband for her, because um, excuse?! And oh man, I can totally can see Brandon like interrogating all of the young men that come anywhere near her. haha. *Brandon looms menacingly* "WHAT ARE YOU INTENTIONS TOWARDS MISS MARIANNE?!" "...uh, well, I am not certain it's quite your business--" "It is indeed my business, sir. Now, what are your intentions?!"

But oh yeah, I am 100% of the mind that Brandon and Marianne are far more similar than Marianne really wants to believe. She can sense it though, I think. Hence why at first they're actually fairly good friends. And oh man, I know she wouldn't think twice about how much sheet music is at Barton. I bet she'd just assume that the Jennings had a rather deep love of music and enjoyed having new music around the house.

I bet you someone is gonna be like: *cough* "Sooo... Marianne... You should give a concert with all that new music... Maybe, uh, invite the Colonel? *nudge nudge*" And Marianne would mumble something about why everyone insists on always inviting the Colonel but at least agree to the concert.

ooc | Brandon & Marianne

Sobbing b/c now Brandon has even more potential competition for Marianne’s heart, haha. <3 So, I still think he’ll def be taken with her and basically have no hope for their future and just wants happiness for her. #cuelizzydyinginthecorner

[marianneau]

*CUE MORE SOBBING*

IKR?!

ALL OF THESE FANCY HANDSOME YOUNG MEN WHO PROBABLY KNOW POETRY OR ENOUGH TO FUMBLE THROUGH AND PRETEND WITH AND AUGH.

My (alright, not so) quiet Marianne x Brandon shipper heart already is breaking. haha.

But I'm sure that once again Marianne is gonna be thinking he's an all right guy until people start insisting that they'd be good for each other. Because I think in the beginning she really is never opposed to being friends with him. She's just extremely opposed to anyone thinking she should marry him.

YAY MARIANNE'S SENSIBILITIES.

Marianne Dashwood (21) || SENSE & SENSIBILITY  reserved by lauren relationships: Mrs. Dashwood (mother), Elinor Dashwood, Margaret Dashwood (sisters), John Dashwood (half brother), Fanny Dashwood (sister-in-law), Sir John Middleton (landlord) Marianne is thoroughly youthful, impetuous, and thoroughly immersed in romantic ideals. She lacks the sense and discretion of Elinor, preferring to express exactly what she feels and hold nothing back. Elinor often has to apologize on her sister’s behalf, as Marianne makes few attempts to be polite or mask her feelings of contempt for those people she dislikes.  portrayed by kate winslet
