She had played the dutiful daughter, the blushing bride, the pliant wife. She had suffered Robertās drunken groping, Jaimeās jealousy, Renlyās mockery, Varys with his titters, Stannis endlessly grinding his teeth. She had contended with Jon Arryn, Ned Stark, and her vile, treacherous, murderous dwarf brother, all the while promising herself that one day it would be her turn.
make me choose: @rhaenys-martell-targaryen asked ashara dayne or cersei lannister

Look how happy he is, leave him
You are right he seems to be okay with this Corki Life <3
me: iām gonna keep my opinionated mouth shut for once and stay out of it
me, 20 seconds later:
Do you ever think really hard about university and ask yourself WHY? LIKE WHY AM I DOING IT? Omfg and with my one and only lifeā¦ā¦
i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, āone word from you will silence me on this subject forever.ā
because, like, thatās the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isnāt it?
a dude being willing to say, āi understand if you donāt feel the same way about me, and iāll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.ā
so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency
and dudes to this day wonder why women still swoon over darcy
Note also: Elizabeth turns down Darcyās first proposal, and in the process, accuses him of doing some stuff he did not do (and also some stuff he totally did).
The next day, he surprises her on her walk. He hands her a letter, asks that she read it, and then takes off.
When this happened to me after I had turned someone down IN REAL LIFE, the letter contained a passionate argument to the tune ofĀ āactually youāre wrong and you do like me and you should go out with meā and it was creepy af.
Darcyās letter to Elizabeth starts with: āBe not alarmed, Madam, on receiving this letter,Ā by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to youā. He goes on to set the record straight about the stuff he didnāt do (as well as the stuff he did) which is *actually relevant* to Elizabeth. And he, as promised, doesnāt romance her further.
Itās totally bizarre that even now, this can be considered unusually great dude behaviour.
Darcyās first proposal:Ā āYou must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.ā
Darcyās second proposal:Ā āOne word from you will silence me on this subject forever.ā
His whole arc in the book is about learning to consider other peopleās feelings and not just his own, but the fact that itās expressed via who gets to talk and who is told to shut up is so, so telling. The first time around, he imposes his voice on her whether she wants it or not. The second time, he asks how sheĀ feels, and in exchange, offers her the gift of his silence.
And yeah, the fact that dudes still! have! not! learned! this! lesson! is exhausting.
How surprising is it that Pride and Prejudice was written by a woman, when many romantic comedies are produced and directed by men?
Answer: not at all
200 years later and the world is still full of guys who think theyāre a Mr Darcy when theyāre actually a Mr Collins.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
1 September 1532: Anne Boleyn is made Marquess of Pembroke in her own right.
On Sunday, 1 September 1532, Anne Boleyn entered the Kingās presence at Windsor Palace, accompanied by her ladies and the Garter King-at-Arms. Dressed in ermine trimmed with velvet and bedecked with jewels, her long hair flowing loose down her back, she knelt before the King and the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk. The Bishop of Winchester then read out the patent which gave her the title Marquess of Pembroke in her own right.
Anne was now the first Englishwoman to be granted a hereditary peerage title. Along with the title, which would pass to her offspring, she received lands worth over Ā£1000 a year. As she knelt and listened to the Bishopās words, Anne could take great satisfaction in the fact that she was the highest-ranking noblewoman in England.
After the patent had been read aloud, the King then rose from his seat and crowned Anne with a golden coronet and placed on her shoulders a crimson velvet mantle. The couple finally departed the ceremony together to attend a lavish banquet. There they celebrated the event, content that they were one step closer to their goal. Within months, the two would be married and Anne would be crowned Queen Consort of England.
