The Elton Family Album: Volume X

It's wedding day for Merybury's wannabe power couple - Olivia and Elliot - and Olivia's parents are hosting the event at the family home.

The guests are all assembled for the big day. Although Elliot's older brother Walter seems to have come straight from work - I guess Adventuring doesn't keep regular business hours.

It's a beautiful afternoon, so let's get the ceremony underway!

But it looks like Elliot isn't really feeling it...

REALLY not feeling it!

Oh my goodness! (I have never seen this before in my game, ever, and I thought it was absolutely priceless.)

Poor Olivia! Before the pink petals have had a chance to fall, Elliot has left her for dust!

That certainly wasn't the spectacle that the guests were expecting to witness!

Ellen is taking her daughter's public humiliation particularly hard.

And even though Elliot eventually slunk back to the 'party' after several hours of being AWOL, Olivia is venting her fury at his brother Walter, for some reason! Elliot's sister Sophia is quite sanguine - with her bag of snacks - but mother-of-the-not-quite-groom Anne is also struggling to cope with the turn of events. Can the golden couple ever recover from this? Given the depth of Olivia's rage, I have my doubts.

Sir Walter Elliot, man who would use moisturizer and have a 10 step skin care routine. You would have loved the anti wrinkles straw.

Wentworth is probably sleeping in Anne’s bedroom

Okay, so we know that it's fine for the eldest daughter to take her mother's room after the mother dies (Tilney says this in NA), so the rooms right now are:

Sir Walter - master bedroom

Elizabeth - mistress bedroom

Anne - next best bedroom (Sir Walter is all about apparences, so he'll put Anne in the right room even if he doesn't care much about her)

Then the Crofts move in and have Wentworth as a guest:

Admiral Croft - master bedroom (sans mirrors)

Mrs. Croft - mistress bedroom

And the next best bedroom that goes to your beloved brother is... Wentworth is totally in Anne's bedroom.

I cannot stop thinking about how like hilarious but also angsty this whole thing is. Do you think he saw W&A carved into the bedpost or something?

(even if the very in love Admiral and Mrs. Croft sleep together, they probably maintain separate rooms because of the servants)

I've seen a lot of Pride and Prejudice Zutara takes, and read this excellent inspired-by-Emma Zutara story, so now i'm thinking about a Zutara Persuasion AU.

Psst! Hey!! You like Jane Austen's novels??

You hate the 2022 adaptation of Persuasion?

You wanna see a good adaptation instead???

Then check out the Granada miniseries Persuasion from 1971!! You can find it on the YouTube!! Or get it on DVD (that version may be shortened/cut differently though)!!

It starts out a bit slow, and has a more 'staged' feel than a 'film' feel, but it's true to the story, the actors are excellent, the costumes are beautiful, and Anne never paints jam on her face like a fucking ninny--!!!

Ahem. It's just... it's a good adaptation. My fav one, in fact. Might be worth a watch?? Good palate cleanser, at any rate 😅

#persuasion 2022 #persuasion 1971 #in this case newer is not better #as much as i would have loved a good adaptation #persuasion 2022 is not it :( #but this Anne is very good #Elizabeth? excellent! #Sir Walter?? fantastic!! #Admiral Croft?? PERFECT #harville and benwick?? adorable #Mary?? silly but still cute #Lady Russell?? Humanised!! Loving!!! #Charles?? very sweet!!! #Mrs Croft?? Darling!! #Wentworth?? WENTWORTH???? #Charming and delightful!! #it's good shit #Anne so sensible and mature and sweet and melancholy #just putting this out there for those who didn't like the 2022 adaptation #but were unsatisfied with the 2007 and 1995 versions as well #i'd link it but i don't want to get In Troubles #birb says #persuasion #jane austen #anne elliot #anti persuasion 2022

The Bingley Family Album: Volume XV

We're catching up with another member of the Bingley clan today - Benjamin, over in Sanditon, and his fiancé Walter.

Top of the list after getting his own place, was to adopt a dog from the animal shelter. Enter Moody! He reminds Benjamin a lot of his childhood pal Bella.

~ Libra

~ Doofus / Lazy / Friendly / Pigpen

He proves to be great company while Benjamin is alone at home during the day.

And the pair soon form a close bond. (He also sports some rather splendid facial hair, just like his master.)

He quickly becomes a favourite with Dog Person Walter too. His family never had any pets while he was growing up, but he's thoroughly enjoying having Moody around now.

Benjamin was also keen to set up his own dedicated art studio at home, to pursue his dream of perfecting a masterpiece.

He finds inspiration everywhere he looks.

Well, I guess his ambition to make his mark on the art world has to start somewhere!

Robert doesn't know about art, but he knows what he likes, and that includes his ex's oeuvre.

Walter meanwhile is still risking life and limb on a daily basis as an Adventurer. He's certainly well equipped for tackling the considerable risk posed by taking a shower.

Also on the agenda is hosting a house-warming party. Unfortunately, it turns into an occasion for Benjamin's past conquests to come back to haunt him - including his flings with Townie Chandler Platz (undocumented), Julia,...

...Robert and Anna.

While Walter was happy to be just one of many before their engagement, he now expects a little more commitment from Benjamin.

Now that they've reached a firm understanding as to the footing of their relationship, everything is soon smoothed over between them.

And - much to the surprise of both - it's hello, impending parenthood! But will Walter stay the course this time, or will he cut and run, just as he did in the past with Cassandra? (I've given up trying to rationalise same-sex pregnancy in my game - Sims aren't humans, they don't have the same biology as us, so it just happens, because I want it to! 😁)

Me waiting for next week.

#persuasion 2022 #one week! ish #persuasion #jane austen #there are clearly a lot of Choices involved but hard to see what they all add up to from here #so i am looking forward to the trainwreck #i'm actually tempted to blog about how much i dislike 2007 because it is getting off a little easy in these sweepstakes #i watched it again (for a grand total of twice) and idk man #it's quite possible that it ends up at the bottom of my personal heap #like: rpj? cute but not charming or outgoing enough to be wentworth #the supporting players? not too easy to distinguish from one another #anne's asides to the camera? the wardrobe? the muddled scenes? no! #dickensian menacing sir walter? absolutely not! #the unintentional comedy of the carriage scene or wentworth breaking the news at uppercross or the running and the letter? #anne living in her ancestral home instead of leaving for a new life? no no no #i could go on but i'm already annoying myself here #and not even really the visual appeal or narrative conceit that the new version may provide #so we'll see

[fictionadventurer]

I'm haunted by the beautiful potential in an Edwardian-era Persuasion.

A setting just after WWI, another time of major social upheaval--blurring class barriers, new ideas about gender roles, further crumbling of the aristocracy

Sir Walter blindly clings to the old order, barely thinking about the war except to lament the impossibility of getting good servants these days

Elizabeth Elliot styles herself as a bit of a women's rights activist, claiming this is the reason she remains unmarried

Anne would have served as a nurse if her father had allowed it, but of course he couldn't permit an Elliot of the Elliots to undertake such ugly work, so she stayed at home quietly undertaking the usual home-front charitable work

This war deepens the story's melancholy. There's not the same sense of the men returning home as conquering heroes. The world is changing, but is it worth what we've lost? Can we have hope for the future when all our optimistic dreams led to such slaughter?

The best way to retain some of Wentworth's glamour is to make him a flyboy. However, given their short life expectancies, I'm not sure how realistic it is to have him and several buddies survive the war.

A "band of brothers" in the trenches is also a decent analogue for their relationship

Harville's injury meant he was invalided home fairly early. Benwick's probably a wartime poet suffering from shell shock that only got worse after his fiance died in the influenza epidemic.

Louisa and Henrietta are of a slightly younger generation that hasn't been quite as scarred by the war. Their relative innocence makes them refreshing to a war-weary returning soldier

It's possible Wentworth is so shaken by Louisa's accident (and thus needs Anne to take charge) because it sparks some kind of PTSD flashback. (Though that may not be the best direction to take the character).

There's just so much potential to explore the layers--old wounds and new possibilities, finding ways to heal and grow and rebuild after pain and loss

Nearly everyone involved with Netflix's Persuasion should be slapped in the face with a glove. They have insulted us with drivel on screen, and I, for one, demand satisfaction.

#elizabeth and mary were okay #henrietta and louisa were bearable #richard e grant as sir walter was great but that's because richard e grant is great #lady russell was terribly written - honestly the writers did her so dirty #henry golding was hot because well hes hot but his mr elliot was also written terribly and they fucked up that storyline #dakota johnson played slapstick wisecracking anne and i hated it - some of that's how it was written - and she played it up #this anne is an affront to the real anne in the book #and what the fuck was the point of the letter is anne and went worth had several chats early on #the whole fucking point is they don't express stuff because they think they've moved past each other and they repress the feelings #we got more time in scree with kids screaming about marie antoinette than we got real time to observe anne's character #no she was too BUSY GIVING MONOLOGUES IN ASIDES #and they wrote out mrs smith and nurse rooke! #i HATE the way they sewed up mrs clay and mr elliot #i don't mind cosmo jarvis's emotion - i don't mind that they wanted to play up his longing - that's a more modern take i can see #maybe a more feminist reinterp of wentworth - and it's not a gross change of character in my mind- if he ket it under wraps before #but the letter- the letter is SO DEBASED by this script and the asides and sassy quips #you can't have the bit before the title card and then the letter with all the crap in bbetween and think itwill work #also the point is he's supposed to leave the letter surreptitiously - not i the middle of a table with her name n it that she rus to radoml #i just - i hate this #so much good stuff got written out only to have crap put inn its place #just - ugh #i need to watch the amanda root & ciaran hinds version- that will take the bad taste out of my mouth #but first i want to slap the production team with a glove - and thus challenge them to duels #am i i scared of duelling them all? if you've seen the movie you know i'm not. they clearly can't hit the broad side of a barn. #tht's how ff the mark this movie was #jane austen #austen related #persuasion 2022 #netflix persuasion #austen film

Persuasion, detective AU

Your mind. My own currently addled brain is not equal to this, but a nebulous outline.

Walter Elliot, CEO of Kellynch Holdings, actually is stupid enough to do crimes without realizing it, and vain enough to presume that if he's doing it, it must be a Smart Business Decision and therefore not a crime, QED. This will become a problem, especially when he falls in with the more intentionally criminous Elliot and Clay Associates.

Admiral Croft is the grizzled detective™ pursuing the case.

Frederick Wentworth is the last person anyone (except Anne and, loyally, Sophy) expected to get a fancy law degree after getting out of the army, much less to take on the kind of work required to bring down white-collar criminals. He might love his job a little too much. Sophy occasionally mentions to him that the concept of a work-life balance has filtered into some corners of the legal profession, and even into some corners of the police.

Frederick has always presumed--allowed himself to presume--that Anne Elliot went to her conservatory, went to grad school, and vanished into the comparatively rarified* world of classical music. The last thing he expects is to find Anne teaching Beethoven to 9-year-olds and keeping the house and the accounts for her feckless family. He does not (repeat not) examine his feelings about needing to make sure that she is exonerated from any suspicion of complicity in wrong-doing.

Elizabeth runs a YouTube channel from which she attempts to influence. Mary is part of the essential oils racket. Frederick may or may not wonder if the entire damn family (Anne excepted) is stupid or criminal or both. But after telling Anne he's ready to submit his filings (if that is what I mean), he leaves a handwritten letter under the glass fruit bowl in the kitchen that only she uses.

*yes I know that tickets are exponentially cheaper than arena concerts or sportsball but it's about the cultural perception which I would argue still is kind of socially rarified. Don't yell at me, I routinely lower the average age of classical music audiences.
