Maybe the reason why I love pride and prejudice and zombies is because of how dedicated they were to having Darcy in a long ass leather coat and how correct of a decision that was. He looked insanely good in it.

Romantic Gestures That Mr. Darcy (PPZ) Would Do

Pairing: Mr. Darcy x reader

Fanfiction Masterlist

Multi Fandom: Romantic Gestures That They Do

Mr. Darcy's romance is forged in the "deadly arts" and a constant state of high-alert survival. His affection is less about soft whispers in a garden and more about fierce, silent devotion in the heat of battle.

The "Fly Jar" Check: While Darcy uses his jar of carrion flies to detect the undead, you’ll notice he holds it near you more often than necessary. It’s not that he suspects you; it’s his way of ensuring you haven't been "stricken" without knowing, as he couldn't bear to lose you to the plague.

Weapon Maintenance: You’ll wake up to find your daggers sharpened and your pistol cleaned. Darcy won’t mention it, but the pristine edge on your blade is his most sincere "I love you".

Tactical Positioning: At any ball or social gathering, Darcy always stands in a way that keeps you in his line of sight and positioned closest to the nearest exit or "safe zone".

Physical Sparring as Foreplay: For Darcy, a sparring session is the ultimate intimacy. He shows his respect and attraction by not holding back, relishing the moments when you manage to pin him or land a decisive blow.

The "Hand Flex" after Combat: After a particularly close call with a horde where you fight side-by-side, he’ll walk away briskly to regain his composure. You’ll see his gloved hand flex and tremble—a rare crack in his stoic armor that shows just how much the thought of you in danger rattled him.

Stolen Glances across the Breach: While others are panicked, Darcy's eyes will always find yours across a battlefield or a crowded room. It’s a silent confirmation that as long as you are standing, the world hasn't ended yet.

Honest Letters from the Front: If Darcy is called away to the Siege of London, he will write you long, agonizingly honest letters. In them, he’ll admit that "love is the most dangerous weapon" and that you have "bewitched him, body and soul".

Subtle Physical Affection: Darcy isn't one for public displays, but in private, he might let his guard down enough to rest his forehead against yours after a long day of patrol.

Defying Lady Catherine: Darcy would face his aunt, the legendary zombie slayer Lady Catherine de Bourgh, to defend your honor. Choosing you over the "superior" matches she demands is his ultimate romantic sacrifice.

how did pride & prejudice & zombies become a comfort movie to me so quickly. i was in the middle before i knew i'd begun. pretty much immediately. like i watched in once and then immediately watched it again and it always makes me happy and is it a very faITHFUL adaptation? no but i don't care i love it and i love ppz lizzie and i ADORE ppz darcy and its fun and dark and one of my fav movies now i don't care i don't care

[arithmeticanimaniac]

pride and prejudice and zombies (2016) is a top tier adaption because you can see how genuinely darcy believes he and lizzy have been flirting this whole time up to the first proposal scene. the camera stays with him the whole way and lingers on his self-satisfied face as he finishes delivering what is surely the most romantic proposal since shakespeare. and then lizzy rejects him and we get to watch the whole process on his face as he short circuits and reboots.

I am reading One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, and I saw some review that was like “ugh it’s too idealistic, it’s like the authors just putting on a performance for the audience rather than telling a story” and I’m like yesss, but that’s the point. They’re indulging us. As I was reading I kept getting so excited, like I’m less than half through (so this might not hold up) but I kept just thinking no way, how does everything keep happening so perfectly, this is like fanfiction of an actual book, or written like the dreams I use to fall asleep.

And then I was thinking (aside from the fact that’s exactly how I feel about Red White and Royal Blue politics criticism), that’s what defines all my favourite movies. They’re all built to indulge us. There’s Legally Blonde and Little Women and Ocean’s 8 and Mamma Mia and Midnight in Paris and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and they’re all designed to give us exactly what we want, in ways that are bold but nuanced and more often than not flippin stunning. It’s why Heartstopper was so revolutionary, and more generally why we love fanfiction and romcoms.

In conclusion, that’s why the Barbie movie is going to be a cultural reset.
