@austenlnd​​ / kate sh.arma s.c

         kate took a deep breath in. she wished very much to be in the comfort of her own clothes. this had been a birthday present for edwina though, so she was going to play her part well. there was something so inauthentic about the experience that she had a difficult time losing herself in it.  she found it all so tiring to try to pretend all the time. half the time her cheeks ached from attempting to give out polite smiles. so she sat and minded her needle work. it wasn’t very good but she found that if she focused on it enough that time passed by quickly enough. “ you have looked quite enthralled with your book today. ” kate remarked. “ care to share what it’s about ? ”

@austenlnd

"mr. nobley-" she breathed trying to find something clever. something important. something at all to say. her head spun and she knew exactly what dangers her brother had warned her about. fantasy and reality blurring. and she had really come to like mr. nobley more than she wanted to. he was clever and funny and charming in the perfect austen like way, but then there was that glimmer of mischief in his eyes that managed to rouse sheer delight and a different sort of repertoire she didn't know she was capable of.

and then there were moments like this were she was at a loss for words as they swayed gently together in a dance with the musicians playing quietly in the distance.

"you're a very dangerous man." was the hoarse words as she looked up at him trying to pry thoughts, feelings, fantasy and reality apart. "in every aspect in matters of the heart, you know."

            ‘ sorry, but if i see one more happy couple, i might scream. ‘ difficult to do when one of her main customers was usually weddings and people had the nerve to recommend her to more engaged couples. still, she was ready for a break. ‘ no offense. if you’re in one. ‘

@austenlnd​ /  underused muse starter call. ​

@austenlnd​ asked: “you, my dear, are clearly the catch of the season.” from emma to amy march !

             Amy cannot help the proud smile on her face.  ❝ Of course. ❞  She has made sure to work hard for it, she would never be someone to leave something done just halfway and if she’s gonna get herself into such an adventure she must make sure that her ballet classes and the time reading 2nd hand romance books Meg was done with would come into use. Maybe she’s not a piano player like Beth but she can draw and that lends itself well to embroidery so of course she’s the catch of the season.

             It’s all such an exciting experience. Of course she would never have enough money to waste it on something like it but when the opportunity came to work it during school break? She can have a brilliant experience and get some pocket money, after all, aunt March is already being kind enough to allow her to study, Amy couldn’t ask for more. And… maybe she send some money home for Marmie… For anything they may need. Or for other people who need it. Contrary to what it may seem, Amy is not completely heartless.

          ❝ Tell me, who should I allow to come closer? Or do I get to play favourites if I’m deemed the catch of the season? ❞

        it’s as enchanting as all those brochures said   it would be, though it’s not as if alison had any doubts about it.  the greatly unbalanced ratio between the one-star and five-star reviews, in favor of the latter, told her all she needed to know.  alison needed an acting gig and she couldn’t have asked for a better one to come across — even if she did have to wear that damned corset day-in and day-out.  she only hoped she didn’t come off too excited amongst all the other seasoned austenlanders.  “good day,”  she says with a dip of her head, though it occurs to her a moment after that she probably should have curtsied.  ( she was given a bit of a free pass for forgetting some things in her first week, wasn’t she?  at least in front of the other members... ).  “i trust your afternoon has been well?”

@austenlnd​ - for declan !     starter call.

[artimitate]

@austenlnd​ : " will you still like to know my thoughts? " 

        “ i suspect you’re going to tell me. ” emine said gently. out of all of the actors here it was knightley she had been about to confide in. there was something comfortable about his presence.  she didn’t know why his opinion had begun to matter to her but it had. perhaps it was the insistence that austenland was not the best place to try her hand at matchmaking. or that there are other things she ought to be more kind about. all things that emine should have been more in tun with for the last several years but the company of her father had acted as. shield from harsh truths. she heaved a dramatic sigh, “ all right yes, i would love to know your thoughts. ”

@austenlnd​ asked: “and what renders him so unmarriageable?” from marianne dashwood to francesca bridgerton !

             At first Francesca is once again rolling her eyes at being asked about the Earl of Kilmartin but of course she cannot leave this sort of question without an answer, she wouldn’t want for a sweet girl like Marianne to get caught up in Michael’s wickedness.  ❝ Well, I am sure you have heard the rumours and even though he has been out of England for four years, I am quite sure nothing has changed. The Earl is simply not a good prospect for any self respecting lady and I am sure you are not desperate enough that you cannot find a better match. And even if you are so desperate I will personally make sure to introduce you to much better prospects! ❞

@austenlnd​ liked for a regency muse starter ( anne & caroline ) !!

“ cheer up, caroline. life rarely goes as planned either way, best not to expect too much. ” and thank the lord things didn’t go according to plan, for anne hadn’t exactly been too thrilled to be a marriage candidate for her cousin. she hadn’t hidden her delight either when he chose elizabeth bennet. since these things were now solved, life did look a whole lot brighter, though the opposite seemed true for caroline. “ there will be plenty opportunities for a marriage of convenience for someone with your beauty and prospects. shall we look for some together, since i’ll be out in society at last? will you help me? because i know next to nothing about london society. ” that wasn’t exactly true, for anne had always kept up rather well with what happened in social circles, but perhaps it’d help the young woman focus on other things instead of the whole union between darcy and elizabeth.
