The moment your mind starts ranking people, it has to place you somewhere too.

not now honey, mommy’s yearning for something that once was and will never be again

[chillyfemme]

nonchalance turns me off so badly. give me obsession on the brink of depravity or give me nothing

[yeeahwrite]

What about silent obsession and yearning? How can that work, bc so far it hasn't

[werenotreallystrangers]

Your body is not being dramatic.

It is asking for clarity and safety.

That is a very reasonable ask.

Love the random censorship in Victorian novels. Mr. ------- came down from -----shire in the summer of 18--. Who? Where? When? Wouldn't you like to know, book boy

“Dykes and Their Cars” by Chloe Sherman

[incognita-soul]

I've spent all afternoon thinking about the line from Wentworth's letter "you sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others" and about how that really is the most important part of the letter. Yes "you pierce my soul" and "I have loved none but you" and "I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago" are all more swoon-worthy. But the whole point of Persuasion is how Anne suffers because none of her friends or family acknowledge her needs or anything she says. She is made small by everyone around her. She is persuadable because she has been stripped of her agency; not by the circumstances of her life, but because the people in her life have talked over and down to her so much that she has stopped resisting. She knows that she won't be heard, so she just stops speaking. But then Wentworth hears her voice! He hears her, sees her, and he loves her for who she is, not what he wants her to be. I think Jane Austen knew exactly what she was doing by including that line. It's so subtle in such a purposeful way.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk
