Jane Austen heroines exist on a sliding scale of "You are always right, and no one ever listens to you" (Fanny Price) to "You are never right, and everyone always listens to you" (Emma Woodhouse.)

#jane austen #fanny price -> anne elliot -> lizzy bennet -> catherine morland -> emma woodhouse

There's a special kind of ecstasy I feel when I read an Andrew Joseph White book and his protag unapologetically talks about the horrors of being a woman (without pulling any punches), and talks about the horrors of being a woman when a woman is not what you are

#his books are so so special to me #I see posts all the time that talk about how hard it is to be a woman #and it is! #but I don't think i've ever seen anyone talk about the specific pain of going through the same things women do but not having a community t #support you #i never feel more seen or included than when I read his books #andrew joseph white #hell followed with us #the spirit bares its teeth #compound fracture #my post #gender queer #this is a little bit of a rant post #Mr white I owe you my life

“you should be at the club” i should be by the sea. i should be in the mountains. i should be awestruck and rendered speechless by the majesty of the natural world. if you even care

#lizzy bennet #most Jane Austen heroines tbh but especially her #“what are men to mountains?” or whatever it is she says is one of my favorite lines in p&p

hey you're doing a great job, just remember: a semicolon can be used to combine two sentences where you might otherwise use a period; this allows you to create longer and longer run-on sentences

I do like characters who do not exhibit any hint of sexuality in any way because they’re too busy being tormented by the narrative. like “yea I might be gay or whatever but the labyrinth is growing so I can’t worry about that shit rn”
