Every once in a while I’ll come across a post being like “why did Jane Austen throw away Henry Crawford’s redemption arc that’s who Fanny should have married” and I would love for them to explain how a man refusing to accept a woman’s no for months & recruiting her entire shitty family to similarly pressure her into a marriage she doesn’t want was a “redemption arc” and not like more proof that he’s an asshole

[rosacotton]

Lizzy: Nope I'm not marrying you.

Mr. Colins: Ladies often say no when they mean yes

Lizzy, mostly annoyed: No means no

Fans: YEAH! Tell him! You go girl!

-----------------

Fanny: I'm sorry but no

Henry, Edmund and everyone else except William: Why are you saying no? It's a good match you'll be happy! You have to say yes or else!

Fanny, emotionally distressed: I said no

Fans: Fanny should have married Henry. She's so weak and boring.

i cannot talk enough about how thankful i am that jane austen wrote introverted heroes and heroines like edward ferrars, mr. darcy, fanny price etc.

i get super uncomfortable when people say they don’t like these characters because “they’re boring” like they are fucking not,,, not everyone is an extrovert and wants to talk to people all the time xx

My humble attempts at capturing the moment from 2007 adaptation of "Mansfield Park" (starring my favourite Billie Piper!)

[faded-florals]

Hey Lindsay have you listened to Sierra's episodes in Ramin's podcast? They talk a bit about the 25th anniversary and ALSO talk about Hadley and Raoul's last lines when he's giving her his hand. Highly recommend if you haven't watched it. Would love to hear your thoughts

I’m like... 99% sure that I have listened to that podcast, it’s the one where Ramin calls Hadley “one of the greatest voices of our generation” or something along those lines, correct? And they both have nothing but nice things to say about Hadley. 🥺💖 Totally not surprising if in reality Hadley’s even half as sweet as he appears to be from a distance. And I would have to agree of course that he has one of the most stunning, beautifully trained, and all-around appealing voices I’ve ever heard!

For when they talked about Hadley’s and Sierra’s last lines in POTO@RAH, I really love how Sierra explained it. I’ve talked quiet a bit about that moment from a Raoul fan’s perspective, and also have heard a lot from phriends and other phantom fans about how Sierra’s turn back to the Phantom is proof that Christine really wanted to stay with the Phantom. But Sierra explained it all so well and succinctly in this podcast and I am inclined to agree with her! She says something along the lines of how every time she plays that scene it feels different to her, like sometimes she is relieved to go with Raoul when she is in character as Christine, and other times she looks back and longs to go back to Erik.

She says that for the RAH performance she felt totally compelled to look back, and that makes sense with how close to she is with Ramin and his Phantom. The chemistry is there, no question! However she follows that with how gentle Hadley’s last lines as Raoul were, and how special it was to see Raoul in that moment because we don’t usually see him clearly at that point, and how Hadley played it so perfectly that Sierra felt torn. Ramin agreed, and summed up HadleyRaoul’s last plea as “I’m here, I will take care of you, I’m letting you decide”, and I just love that. You can tell that Ramin and Sierra truly love and understand these characters and the show. A++ all around!

Also, the fact that Ramin, Sierra, and Hadley are all still on each other’s radar makes me REALLY excited for their reunion that was rescheduled for 2021, and possibly even the potential for more collaborations in the future. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we get some sort of recording from that show... pretty please! 🙏

[filthybonnet]

For me what always tears me apart in this scene isn't just Sierra's looking back but Ramin's little head nod that says “It’s OK you can go.” I know we've had this conversation with others but Sierra is nothing but consistent with meeting the energy and chemistry of who she is working with. And as you said, she and Ramin already had history with each other and history with their versions of the characters and mad chemistry. If Ramin hadn’t met her turn around with that head nod, I don’t think Hadley’s gentle hand offer would have had as a great effect. Here she is again kind of trapped between both men letting her choose. Instead of telling her she’s theirs they are like “You can go” and “You can come only if you want to” and she hesitates as if she’s like “How dare you not tell me to stay and you demand me to come!”

[faded-florals]

Great points and excellent addition, @filthybonnet​! 👏
