There is a hotter look, and it's attractively mussed and absolutely soaked with blood

You know what you’re absolutely correct.

Mary Crawford

Actually canon:-has a half-sister she lives with (Mrs. Grant), and a full brother, Henry-plays the harp-incredibly cynical-fond of a bad and bawdy pun-”a talking pretty young woman”-hates her uncle the Admiral; indeed, looks down on most men in general-good horsewomandebatably canon:-TERRIBLE taste in men-views marriage rather as a transaction-BFFs with Lady Stornaway-au courrant with all the hot goss about the royals, the aristos-- basically anyone in London of a certain wealth and social cachetcanon only in my soul:-the reason she was so into Edmund was because she is ACTUALLY into Fanny, and Edmund was the one who was socially acceptable to marry. Plus all his tastes and interests are ones he passed onto Fanny-would be so much happier in life if she was allowed to have a career-probably carries jokes just a little bit too far-devoted abolitionist after her time at Mansfield shows her the emptiness of her own life-would get along pretty well with Elizabeth Bennet, in that she shares in Mr. Bennet’s dry wit and sense of the absurd, and Charlotte Lucas’s utter pragmatism-REALLY would not get on with Mr. Darcy. There’s a terrible clash of personalities and values if ever I saw one. Nevertheless, they both consider themselves Whigs

What are your thoughts on the stroke of genius that was the announcement that Yuri's cat's full name is in fact 'Puma Tiger Scorpion'?

i believe that yurio is actually three cats named puma, tiger, and scorpion, who put their magic rings together into the form of yurio

adelatur replied to your post: brief update

Catherine would be a better slayer. She tries to figure out the vampire mystery etc. Emma cuts and runs at the sight of a few gypsies. But also, PLS INCLUDE MUCH DESCRIPTION OF SHIRTSLEEVES.

upon reflection I have decided that while catherine would initially be a very keen slayer, she would also have an unfortunate tendency to fall in love with every tragically brooding vampire to cross her path. 

and I think emma would be better off in the witchcraft-and-logistics role; she would keep abreast of all of the supernatural community’s rumours and gossip, and would terrifyingly organise her own scooby gang’s way to victory.

the actual jane austen character most suitable for a career battling the undead is OBVIOUSLY margaret dashwood.

Have you met actual 27 year old men? #yikes. Nobody wants to marry that. They are just larmg children. I put to you: pride and prejudice except the youngest character is 30 so hopefully everyone has some goddamn emotional maturity

I don’t necessarily want all these infants to be infants, and Lydia kind of has to be Like That, but if they wanted to age up the whole entire assembly I’d want them to turn it up to pensioner levels like the Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones Much Ado About Nothing.

But also...this is Jane Austen and nobody can be emotionally mature or else the stories can’t happen.

I just kicked off a reread of Persuasion, and the bit in the first chapter when Jane is describing the late Lady Elliot is just savage. "Lady Elliot had been an excellent woman, sensible and amiable; whose judgement and conduct, if they might be pardoned the youthful infatuation which made her Lady Elliot..." IF WE IGNORE THAT ONE MASSIVE LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT THAT GOT HER MARRIED TO THIS COLOSSAL NIMROD, SHE WAS A PRETTY SOLID CHICK.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED COLIN FIRTH TO PLAY SIR WALTER IN A NEW ADAPTATION. SO THAT WE CAN ALL LOOK AT HIM AND GO “...OKAY YEAH.”

COLIN LOVES PLAYING A DUMB BITCH. LOVES IT. WE SHOULD LET HIM.
