Me, after finishing two minor sidequests in a video game:

This is huge. This will help people from being forced to take jobs with companies that are cavalier with worker safety.

[Image description: a tweet from @nicetryofficer. Time stamped 11:41 AM, 1/22/21: NYTimes buried this today but this is huge Mr. Biden will also seek to allow workers to draw unemployment benefits if they quit jobs they fear are unsafe amid the pandemic, by asserting “that workers have a federally guaranteed right to refuse employment that will jeopardize their health, and if they do so, they will still qualify for unemployment insurance,” White House officials said in a fact sheet detailing the orders.

i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, “one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

because, like, that’s the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isn’t it?

a dude being willing to say, “i understand if you don’t feel the same way about me, and i’ll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.”

so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency

adulthoodisokay

and dudes to this day wonder why women still swoon over darcy

Note also: Elizabeth turns down Darcy’s first proposal, and in the process, accuses him of doing some stuff he did not do (and also some stuff he totally did).

The next day, he surprises her on her walk. He hands her a letter, asks that she read it, and then takes off.

When this happened to me after I had turned someone down IN REAL LIFE, the letter contained a passionate argument to the tune of “actually you’re wrong and you do like me and you should go out with me” and it was creepy af.

Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth starts with: “Be not alarmed, Madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you”. He goes on to set the record straight about the stuff he didn’t do (as well as the stuff he did) which is *actually relevant* to Elizabeth. And he, as promised, doesn’t romance her further.

It’s totally bizarre that even now, this can be considered unusually great dude behaviour.

Darcy’s first proposal: “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

Darcy’s second proposal: “One word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

His whole arc in the book is about learning to consider other people’s feelings and not just his own, but the fact that it’s expressed via who gets to talk and who is told to shut up is so, so telling. The first time around, he imposes his voice on her whether she wants it or not. The second time, he asks how she feels, and in exchange, offers her the gift of his silence.

And yeah, the fact that dudes still! have! not! learned! this! lesson! is exhausting.

How surprising is it that Pride and Prejudice was written by a woman, when many romantic comedies are produced and directed by men?

Answer: not at all

bemusedlybespectacled

Since we’re comparing proposals (and I’m rereading P&P again): in his first proposal, Darcy clearly isn’t considering Lizzy’s feelings at all, and straight-up assumes that she’ll accept him (presumably because he’s so great a dude):

He concluded with representing to her the strength of that attachment which, in spite of all his endeavours, he had found impossible to conquer; and with expressing his hope that it would now be rewarded by her acceptance of his hand. As he said this, she could easily see that he had no doubt of a favourable answer. He spoke of apprehension and anxiety, but his countenance expressed real security.

Compare with his second proposal:

After a short pause, her companion added, “You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.”

Keep in mind this is directly after she thanks him for saving Lydia’s reputation. So she’s definitely come around to him in some way, but instead of assuming that she’s in love with him or even likes him, or that his good deeds are some kind of reward, he instead asks her how she feels. He puts the ball in her court. And he follows it up with this:

“[…] You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.”

“Had you then persuaded yourself that I should?”

“Indeed I had. What will you think of my vanity? I believed you to be wishing, expecting my addresses.”

He acknowledges that part of his pride was just assuming she’d accept his proposal, and thanks her for teaching him otherwise.

Okay but I’m pretty sure they changed the word “juice” to “goose” and I’m 100% living for this.

bruisedpeachart

Hi everyone! My tablet recently broke and I have to pay a lot of $$$ to replace it on top of paying of a college admission fees and art supplies for a new semester! So please consider commissioning me!

Slots will be limited and will be first come, first serve.

I will require half of the payment up front, I will send a W.I.P. somewhere along the way then the other half of payment can be sent after I finish the commission in its entirety.

I draw NSFW!

Additional characters means double the price per character (2 waist ups would be $150, 3 would be $225 so on and so forth)

Message me for inquiries!
