listening to a song in your ancestral language is like laying your head down in your mother’s lap. she is stroking your hair. your heart feels raw but you are being held

To the person reading this, I hope tonight treats you gently, and that tomorrow looks brighter.

I know you guys have been with me through a lot of love stories but this is I think the first time where I’m like “hold up, is he into me?? no way he’s into me”

[elizabeth-freaking-bennet]

hey guys how do I tell a man I’m into him in a way I can play off if it goes south

it's also genuinely hilarious that whilst in hunsford, lizzy keeps going on walks and running into mr darcy, and being utterly bewildered as to why. she then informs him what her favourite haunt is so that he might avoid it, and is even MORE bewildered when he shows up there. girl. where is your brain cell. im obsessed with you.

#you never forget your first (until you meet your last)

[elizabeth-freaking-bennet]

do you ever think about how darcy's perspective of the visit to rosings is just... a completely wild time. so like. he and his favourite cousin goes to visit with his weird aunt, and ends up running into this hot girl, that he's really kinda increasingly into? she's staying in the area for a while with her bestie. so like. he was expecting a boring social obligation visit & getting pressure into marrying his other, less favourite cousin. instead, he watches the hot girl hold her own with his aunt in conversation. she banters with him over the pianoforte and they have a Moment™. he keeps going over to the house she's staying at, just to awkwardly chill there, even though he doesn't like the other people there. has a whole conversation with her about how she wouldn't mind living far away from family, as long as she could afford the travel. he extends his visit so he can keep seeing her. when he runs into her on a walk, she makes a point of detailing the exact route she prefers to take while out walking, clearly encouraging him to join her, so he does. he has a really nice time on these walks, they spend a lot of time in companionable silence, but he manages to flirt a little by implying some stuff about the future & what their married life could be like, and they have some conversations about that. and sure, she has some family baggage, but none of them are around so it's a lot easier to ignore, y'know? so eventually he just can't take it anymore, and he shoots his shot. she clearly values honesty so he explains his scruples as well, but he thinks she's been dropping some favourable signals, so he's got a good chance, right?

and then not only she turns him down she ROASTS THE FUCK OUT OF HIM. she insults him. she insults his honour as a gentleman. she flips the fuck out about... oh yeah crap the sister thing, turns out his cousin blabbed, and then I'M SORRY YOU SAID WHAT? ABOUT WICKHAM? THIS IS ABOUT FUCKING WICKHAM, MY FUCKING NEMESIS? HE FUCKING SAID WHAT ABOUT.... OH MY GOD. oh fuck. I've fucked up so badly I need to reevaluate my entire life & risk sending a letter to an unmarried woman who hates my guts, just so i can explain shit. fuck.

I used to think I was more of an Emma Woodhouse than a Lizzie Bennet but I recently rewatched the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and had the shocking realization that Lizzie is actually an extremely selfish person and that my younger self was wrong about finding her perfect. I am actually like Lizzie Bennet

[elizabeth-freaking-bennet]

not in a cruel, treating me like I’m stupid way but in the way that they don’t condescend me by starting out nice then demeaning me. mean in the way that we have a rivalry and he teases me or makes quips right off that bat. I need to know your bad side before I learn your good side because if you show me your bad side first, you won’t be run off when I show my bad side first

I only like men who are mean to me

I used to long for my perfect man and would spend hours on dating apps and websites trying to find him but now I wanna be the elusive girl you danced with at the bar and got beat in pool by who you never see again until like years later and yeah I’m basically just describing the plot of a romance novel aren’t I

#i actually suck at pool so this is a pipe dream for that reason #and you will see me again at the bar because I like to dance #I’m not elusive or a femme fatale workers at grocery stores tell me things about themselves unprompted #in my head I think I look like a Disney villain but in reality I have a very inviting look #I try my hardest but I am the stranger people ask for help

[elizabeth-freaking-bennet]

Lizzie: wow, you ride a motorcycle?

Darcy: can you try not to sound so surprised?

Lizzie: sorry it’s just that you’re like allergic to being cool
