the other Bennet sister fills me with so much hope. for the girls who were never chosen. for the girls who have never fit in. for the girls who’s sisters naturally seem to flourish socially but couldn’t understand why it wasn’t the same for them. for the girls who are overlooked. for the girls who dream of a gentle and stable love. for the girls who tell everyone they’re okay with being alone. this one was for us, love is possible.

Started watching “The Other Bennet Sister” on iPlayer, and honestly Mary Bennet is so dear to me already.

When Mary's on the sofa with Mr Ryder and her family. And he starts to compliment her, and Mary's body language goes all weird, because she can't physically handle men praising her in general. When Mr Ryder talks about how well versed she is, she does this weird squint with her eyes

When Mr Ryder said "I can talk to you all day, this is Mary's face.....

She honestly doesn't believe that a man can tolerate her company. [Especially an attractive one] When he says [My favourite line] about the sky being grey without her, she chuckles and insists repeatedly that he's joking, bc she still can't fathom why he likes her. It's only when he asserts that she's the most interesting person that he's met, and he maintains eye contact for an awkward amount of time [ But Mr Ryder himself is not awkward he's super confident when keeping eye contact bc he loves looking at her] and Mary doesn't have anything to say.

She can't laugh or brush off compliments anymore and Mary just has to sit in this man's crush, and his adoration for her. And Mary and her family don't know how to process it? It's such a great scene!

I'd grow little homunculi in jars in my shead to find out if you truly loved me or not but you wouldn't understand

- OKAY TRAITOR-ON-TRAITOR VIOLENCE. THE TURRET IS NO LONGER A SAFE SPACE.

- stephen is GOBSMACKED but at least the heat is off him… i suppose…?

- fiona wasn't even THERE for their promise (which i still fully believe in) so who is he going to side with? will fiona try to convince him that rachel will turn on him??

- for the record i don't even think it was a weird thing for rachel to be telling people, like surely the other faithfuls could tell they were friends?

- reece oh my goodness i feel so bad for him now. being nice when you're clearly under fire is never going to work out.

- although i really hoped maz would come back because i needed him to survive another shortlist.

- amanda's role as a detective being highlighted for how skilled she is even though she's been gunning head-first (incorrectly) for jade was very funny to me. if i were jade i'd be STRESSING.

- chests of chance getting another appearance once they made their debut everyone just wants them back. thinking they should change the shtick every time they reappear. dice of destiny? boxes of banishment? perhaps a flip-flop of fate? (had to get that out of my system i'm so sorry).

- also fiona's “i can't get you out of my head” and “i want you desperately [to be a traitor]” at the round table was giving me flashbacks to joe marler and his many situationships.

- watching uncloaked and hearing amanda say she was only going for jade because she was unfortunate enough to be the first person she saw is perhaps a tad concerning. love amanda but bear in mind she was ACTUALLY a detective.

The fact that the characters keep turning their live captions on and off is a clever reference to the fact that the BBC iPlayer captions are SHIT
