How can you say that Mr. Darcy is Jane Austen's best hero when MR HENRY TILNEY is out there?!

You all are sleeping on Northanger Abbey when it's one of the best books ever and the film actually follows the book storyline🙏🏻🙏🏻

actually yeah whatever im going to start posting more about the mr darcy and miss tilney series because we are a month away from the new book can we talk about the beef between mr darcy and mr tilney because i think it is the funniest thing to come out of that series

like mr darcy essentially met the male version of his wife (at the place where he first proposed to his wife btw) and he immediately decided he did NOT like him and did NOT want his daughter to marry his son. and mr tilney knowing that mr darcy does not like him and making it worse on purpose for the laughs (and because he also did not want juliet to marry jonathan because he did not want her to join a family where she would not be unconditionally loved and how much of that do you think came from seeing his own father scorning his wife when she was but a young girl the same age their daughter now is)

their dynamic is so much fun and so interesting, like when they disagree on whether elders should be automatically respected and it all boils down to the fact that mr darcy idolized his father and mr tilney grew up knowing that his father was a cruel man. im so sad that we didnt get more shenanigans from them in the perils of lady catherine de bourgh i need a collection of one shots of just them annoying each other. they’re going to be so funny when they do become family, i hope that the bigger misunderstandings between them dissipate but i know that they will be so competitive on being the favorite grandpa

Propaganda...

Mr Tilney (2007) :

I do think that Mr Tilney needs to be seen in motion to be appreciated his attractiveness is his personality and just general charisma and he's FUNNY definetly the funniest austen man

Super charming, cute, fun, and handsome. What is not to love?

Mr Knightley (2009) :

I was just going to send in the actual dance but the little panic he has when Emma says she knows his secret is just soo charming. There was some thread on twitter a few years ago about how a romcom man's most important quality is knowing how to look at a woman and JLM is just the master of it in this Emma

I really feel like the pictures say it all. He stands there, head tilted to one side. He is listening to you. His posture is relaxed. His gaze open, frank, candid. He's not trying at all. He just is.And that's why he is Knightley.

Some propaganda, not just for Jonny Lee Miller, but the general interpretation of 09 Knightley. I have some excerpts here from my review of the 09 adaptation:

What I really think is great about the 2009 interpretation of Mr. Knightley is what an easy and comforting presence he is, without being apologetic when he scolds Emma. I think this is communicated especially well by how often we are actually shown Mr. Knightley taking his almost-daily walks to Hartfield, how smoothly he comes and goes, and how happy Emma is every time she sees him coming up the path (usually, just at the perfect moment when she needs something to put her back to rights.)

Here is Emma, feeling lonely after Miss Taylor's wedding. And in the background, walking up to Hartfield--there's Knightley. He's always been there for her, and he always will be.

And also this Mr. Knightley is as understated as ever, but I wanna highlight this outfit and why I love it: This is Knightley’s first appearance in the series and it’s the perfect establishing shot that shows the viewer everything they need to know about Emma and Knightley’s relationship and how it has always been. He sort of materializes, out of focus in the background, but Emma immediately knows he’s there. And to accentuate how much Knightley is part of her home and scenery, his clothes (similar shades of pale tan, white and minty green to the wall behind him) almost camouflage him and make him seem at one with the moulding of her home.

Additionally, Jonny Lee Miller captures Knightley’s playful qualities, and his exasperation is so endearing

I can’t be the only one tickled by this Knightley’s frustration with Emma! JLM FTW!

If Faramir was an Austen hero, he'd be Mr Tilney.
