pride & prejudice is not a book, it's an emotion that i cannot describe
-- Mary Bennet, 2021
Did I mention we have a podcast?
I mean, it started as a school project for @benevolentbucky... but we’ve since continued it.
And on the off chance people actually see these posts... I am sure at some point i will put a link to it somewhere on this mostly unused blog
need i say more?
again. meme worthy.
I will have you know i titled this save file as “get you a darcy that can do both”
Just finished a binge-rewatch of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on youtube... All im saying is that if this screencap didn’t become a meme back then, it should definitely become one now... and so should the rest of the images i am about to put on this practically nonexistent blog
College potluck AU
*looking around at the assortment of halloween decor and garden gnomes. its april*
“what a superbly featured room...”
*your host, a college student, who can only cook one thing*
“and what excellect cheesy potatoes.”
In an interview fifteen years after the making of this series, screenwriter Andrew Davies said that at the moment that Darcy sees Elizabeth muddy and flushed from walking to Netherfield to see Jane, Davies wrote in the screenplay the stage direction that “this is the moment when Darcy suddenly realizes that he fancies Elizabeth very much and to his surprise he finds that he’s got an erection.” He said that he wrote this to make people laugh but also “for Colin to choose this as the moment when he’s just got to act, being tremendously turned on.”

okay but real talk that amazingly-delivered “as you see” is the best Austenian “you fucking dumbass” in cinema history.

Elizabeth Bennet: I will never marry Mr. Darcy.
(Later)
Lady Catherine de Bourgh: Tell me you will never marry Mr. Darcy.
Elizabeth:
ok I have given it a lot of thought & this is what I think:
- a muppets adaptation of pride & prejudice should be called ‘Muppets, Pride and Prejudice’ (comma mandatory)
(I did consider ‘Pride and Prejudice and Muppets’ but like that’s been done)
- Darcy & Elizabeth should be human actors playing it very straight. Kermit the Frog & Miss Piggy are Bingley & Jane.
- Gonzo & Rizzo reprise their role as narrator/greek chorus from Muppet Christmas Carol. this means the film can open w Gonzo very earnestly reciting the opening line
(& then Rizzo being like ‘Gonzo what are you TALKING about’ and idk you could get a skit out of that whilst introducing the book and some of its context for younger viewers! it’d be good)
- major issue would be that Pride & Prejudice has a lot of women in it and there aren’t a lot of girl muppets unfortunately so all the men outside Darcy would have to be muppets in order for there to be enough muppet roles
- leaning towards Fozzie Bear for Mr Bennet. maybe Sam the Bald Eagle for Mr Collins? don’t know if any of the muppets are dickish enough to be plausible as Wickham so maybe he’d have to be a human man idk
further thoughts welcome!
the first thing that popped to my mind was this scene where Bingley is getting nervous about proposing:
but instead Kermit makes “the scrunch” face at least twice:
@theaussielemming WANT?????
I mean you know I’m down for anything P&P
But also I facepalmed at the thought of Miss Piggy as Jane.. can you imagine. Surely, she’d be a better Lydia… I think Muppets, Pride and Prejudice would get about halfway through the story and then go WAY OFF THE RAILS.
I confess, I’m not actually super knowledgeable about P&P, I just think the Muppets version should have a Kermit/Miss Piggy romance and given the pattern established by previous Muppet classics films they should be the beta couple
Miss Piggy would be great as a lot of P&P characters but unfortunately there are many of them and only one of her
Also she’d be funny as Jane in part BECAUSE she’s wildly unsuited to the part, but like, she’s miss piggy, she’s going to be Jane Bennet and no-one has the nerve to tell her no
I was thinking about all Darcy’s lines to Lizzy about how “I couldn’t tell if your sister even liked Bingley, she’s just that reserved I guess”, and there are two important takeaways:
Darcy would have to say them with a straight face while we, the audience, are watching flashbacks of Miss Piggy going absolutely WILD at the Netherfield Ball.
OR
Since Jane is the reserved Bennett sister, ALL of the younger Bennett sisters would have to go EVEN WILDER THAN MISS PIGGY.
I was imagining the former & it being something of a running gag throughout the film that ppl keep giving descriptions of Jane that are wildly at odds w how she actually behaves
Bingley: Oh ho ho I know what you’ve got. the L-word
Darcy: Yeah. Leprosy.
Bingley: No Darcy. Four letters. Ends with ‘E’.
Darcy: Ah. Lice.
can someone just tell me what elizabeth bennet would do in this situation
