There needs to be an "Austen adjacent men" bracket. So many hotties in Austenland (and other properties I guess) and no way to rank them.

it may not be a full bracket but your wish is my command - here are some austen-adjacent men to vote on...

curse my spelling mistakes *Mr Nobley

#hotjaneaustenmenpoll #austenland #the jane austen book club #becoming jane #Paging Mr Darcy #I'm not sure Tom Lefroy quite fits here but I think that might be my anti-Becoming Jane bias getting in the way so I've included him #also I haven't seen any of the hallmark Jane Austen films (curse them not showing in the UK yet) so I have no idea if Sam Lee is worthy #But I liked him in reign and step up 2 so it's an educated guess he is #This is also why none of the new sense and sensibility men have been included in the main bracket as I don't think it's released even #in the us until Sunday #I'm not holding out much hope it'll be good but I do think it will be fun!#jane austen #hugh dancy #will kemp #bret mckenzie #jj feild #ricky whittle #james mcavoy #mini poll

What about the Austen heroes?

So the current professions of the Austen heroes are Trust-Fund Baby (Darcy, Bingley, Knightley, Colonel Brandon) and clergyman (Tilney, Ferrars, Bertram) and of course, naval officer (Wentworth).

Darcy's personality and insane degree of stable wealth makes his character pretty hard to write without him being a trust fund baby. So I will not assign him a profession, he's managing the generational family wealth.

George Knightley - runs a small but successful factory that is basically the only industry in his small town. Cash poor because he's always reinvesting in the company. Robert Martin is the floor manager.

Charles Bingley - his father struck it rich in the dot.com era and then died. He's inherited most of the fortune. Has no idea what to do with it, so he's been in university for 6 years.

Colonel Brandon - did four tours in Afghanistan before his brother died and he took over the indebted family chain of hardware stores. He's finally gotten the finances straightened out and the chain is once again profitable (with 100% less tax fraud).

Edward Ferrars - went to a super prestigious university because his mother donated to it, has a degree in Environmental Science much to her chagrin. Wants to work at a non-profit or do his PhD but his mom won't help him with the cost of living so he lives at home, doesn't work, and is miserable.

Edmund Bertram - clergyman or civil servant

Frederick Wentworth - I'm not sure what to do with him, because he needs an uncertain, dangerous career that can also strike rich, not sure if we have a modern analogue... oh it's athlete. He's an athlete who actually made it big and got rich. You pick the sport.

Henry Tilney - this one is so tricky! Because you see Henry Tilney is a nepo baby, but he seems to actually enjoy his profession. So I guess he has a corporate job at Tilney Inc. but he does like it (despite the CEO)

#athlete is actually perfect for Wentworth because it's so uncertain #you may rot in the minors or just make an okay amount of money #or you can be insanely wealthy #but also a single injury can ruin your career like Harville #and 19 year old Wentworth who is sure he can make it is still a bad bet #austen heroes #question response #jane austen #mansfield park #pride and prejudice #sense and sensibility #northanger abbey #emma

people acting as if fred is the leader of mystery inc just because he drives the car and plans the traps as if daphne is not the only one with any common sense. fred loves engineering & tends to be the spokeperson for the group just because he’s Tall and Loud but let’s be so for real that boy can’t navigate a social situation to save his life. velma’s incredibly smart but only book/mystery-wise—girl CANNOT do her own laundry and also will not remember to sleep. shaggy’s got a healthy sense of self-preservation but also will risk his life time and time again for a snack. scooby’s a dog. daphne blake does their taxes and writes the grocery list and budgets their trips and she sits in the passenger seat not because she may or may not be dating fred but because she is the only one who can read a map and convey that information to the person driving accurately and effectively. daphne blake is 100% in charge of the mystery gang (even if only shaggy really knows it) and i will not take any more slander against her

#scooby doo #daphne blake #let’s be so for real she’s the charismatic one the sensible one the one who gets social cues #yes she is autistic like all of the rest of them. obviously. but her special interest is fashion and she masks better than half the villain #daphne is the muscle daphne is the charisma daphne is the common sense daphne is the glue daphne is everything #some people just can’t comprehend what role someone can play in a group without boxing them into a label #also she 100% is dating at least velma if not fred and shaggy too but that’s not relevant

‘[…] had I really loved, could I have sacrificed my feelings to vanity, to avarice? — or, what is more, could I have sacrificed hers? — But I have done it. To avoid a comparative poverty, which her affection and society would have deprived of all its horrors, I have, by raising myself to affluence, lost every thing that could make it a blessing.’ Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 9, Vol. III.

I can’t believe Jane Austen predicted snowbaird 210 years ago!!

‘[…] she loved him. She’d said so last night in the song. Even more, she trusted him. Although, if he ditched her in the woods to claw out an existence alone, no doubt she would consider that a breach of faith. He had to think of just the right way to break the news. But what would that be? “I love you deeply, but I love officers’ school more?” That wasn’t going to go over well. And he did love her! He did! It was just that, only a few hours into his new life in the wilderness, he knew he hated it.’ The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Chapter 30

#yes ofc this is from willoughby’s confession #he really loved marianne and vice versa #but his sense of self preservation won in the end #he chose the cowardly way out and will spend the rest of his life suffering for it #snowbaird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #jane austen #sense and sensibility #thg #the hunger games #coriolanus x lucy gray #coriolanus snow #lucy gray baird #rereading sense and sensibility for the first time in a decade has been an experienceTM #i feel much more pity towards willoughly than i ever did at 15 #i also immediately saw the snowbaird parallels bc ofc

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.

#the other thing i love about it is that in a very real sense it's his actor day job that is his alter ego #being an exorcist is his normie job. he's just a famous celebrity on the side #which isn't that uncommon in secret identity setups but it's still very funny #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi #natsuyuu meta #my posts #f #i think probably the actual answer is that acting was a very natural career choice because he already masks so extensively #both to hide that he can see things other people can't (and that youkai exist and that he exorcises them)#and to hide what he's really feeling so that no one can use it against him #so if it's already something he has to do & he's good at it...why not have someone tell him exactly how to do it & get paid for it?#and the other part of the answer is that most ppl don't go into acting assuming they'll get famous. the fame was a side effect #so each decision as it was being made probably made perfect sense. but put them all together #and you have this hilarious assortment of elements that seem to directly contradict each other #okay also i would be remiss if i didn't mention the other possible answer which is that the attention came first and was unavoidable #and the acting developed from the need to protect himself from the attention that he was going to be attracting no matter what he did #because he's so beautiful. and (in the exorcist world specifically) because he's the last of the natori #the more i talk about it the more i'm like no becoming a famous actor was the only path that made any sense for him lol #1) he's gonna be watched no matter what bc he's him -> gotta figure out how to hide his secrets -> learn to act as self-defense #or 2) he's got secrets -> he's gotten a lot of practice hiding them -> hey you could make a career out of this!#all roads lead to actor natori shuuichi. and since he's beautiful...all roads lead to FAMOUS actor natori shuuichi #i love it when i ramble so much in the tags that i end up contradicting my own post lol #he's neither thinking ten steps ahead nor is he irrational. he's simply making sensible individual decisions #that follow logically from what is available to him and what his priorities are

Remus and the lupin

#remus lupin #wolfstar #marauders #my art #this hair makes no sense which is fine its just a sketch but if I ever colour i should fix it. also ill shave his eyebrows bc what are thos #anyway... hallo tumblr. first post in this account #the reason this is tagged wolfstar is i think sirius would steal his books to read them and he would underline sentences and write #on the margins and he would press wildflowers for him to find #and i think years into sirius imprisonment remus would keep finding notes and flowers #and remus would feel awful bc how could someone with that kind of sensibility for poetry and love and literature betray them all and kill #a bunch of ppl. etc etc. but yeah yeah. anyway but this is a happy one bye

It is a much-cherished experience of mine in TV-watching to suddenly be absolutely clobbered over the head by otp feels where I had felt none before, all throughout the course of one enchanted episode. The episodes listed above are some of my most cherished experiences of that kind. But which is your fave??

#polls #it pained me to remember himym's existence but i cannot deny what 'zip zip zip' was to me #i was tempted to put 1.04 for ted and rebecca for obvious reasons but 1.02 is truly where i start to feel that feral feeling #where suddenly a whole new reality of 'these two people need to be together this makes so much SENSE!' opens up to you!!!!!!#i also think 'a spy in the house of love' is the more sensible d/d pick but 1.06 is where i became a freak for them

actually my roman empire is how elinor and marianne are essentially metaphors for the two sides of the same coin in jane austen’s extremely repressive society,, how elinor is the “facade” you had to put on and marianne is everything that hides behind that mask, all the things you wanted to feel and show but you had to hide, bc it would make you a social outcast,, and how it is the intensity and the rawness of marianne’s emotions that almost kill her and how she became less emotional after her illness, as if it were not only a great example of (a VERY MUCH needed) character development but also jane austen’s way of telling us that once again social rules win in the end and there’s no way to fight them.

#jane austen #sense and sensibility #elinor dashwood #marianne dashwood #LISTEN I LOVE MARIANNE’S DEVELOPMENT PLS DONT COME FOR ME #i just think it’s another possible interpretation of her arc #not saying this is a universal truth!!#also i’m not calling elinor fake #it’s just what she represents

There is something so motherly and yet a little bit wicked all at once about Mrs Jennings. She’s no image of perfection. She’s vulgar and embarrassing with her penchant for gossip and teasing. But she isn’t just that. She’s loyal and generous and good-natured. She can tell when people are cold-hearted like Mrs John Dashwood, so she doesn’t just like everyone. She doesn’t hold back on passing judgment when people disappoint her like Willoughby, Mrs Ferrars, and Lucy. She lacks the level of refinement and sensitivity that the highest order of Austen’s characters have, but she isn’t one to just disregard as ONLY comic relief. One of the best things about her is she often spouts a bit of nonsense in with wise things that make you check you understood her correctly. She is good-hearted and sincere in her affection for Marianne and Elinor, but she isn’t always self-aware, sensitive or even logical. This combination allows her to say some of the most delightfully silly things with utmost sincerity. Mrs Jennings is one of my favorite characters because she keeps you on your toes with her ability to say something nonsensical after saying something so wise.

Wise with a a dash of silly (because her being pretty is irrelevant)

“Well, it is the oddest thing to me, that a man should use such a pretty girl so ill! But when there is plenty of money on one side, and next to none on the other, Lord bless you! they care no more about such things! -- "

Wise and prudent. Willoughby COULD marry Marianne if he wanted and was patient. It would just be a less financially extravagant lifestyle. He is not a victim. He makes his own choices.

“Fifty thousand pounds! and by all accounts it won't come before it's wanted; for they say he is all to pieces. No wonder! dashing about with his curricle and hunters! Well, it don't signify talking, but when a young man, be he who he will, comes and makes love to a pretty girl, and promises marriage, he has no business to fly off from his word only because he grows poor, and a richer girl is ready to have him. Why don't he, in such a case, sell his horses, let his house, turn off his servants, and make a thorough reform at once? I warrant you, Miss Marianne would have been ready to wait till matters came round. But that won't do, now-a-days; nothing in the way of pleasure can ever be given up by the young men of this age."

And then a hilarious and nonsensical observation, hypothesis, and advice all wrapped in one. Has she actually met her good friend Colonel Brandon? She certainly doesn’t understand his or Marianne’s depths if she thinks he will laugh over M’s misfortunes or that M will just quickly transfer her affections to him if she can just forget Willoughby exists.

“Well, my dear, 'tis a true saying about an ill wind, for it will be all the better for Colonel Brandon. He will have her at last; aye, that he will. Mind me, now, if they an't married by Midsummer. Lord! how he'll chuckle over this news!…One shoulder of mutton, you know, drives another down. If we can but put Willoughby out of her head!"

#Mrs Jennings has the best tea to spill #Mrs Jennings is a favorite #Sense and Sensibility #she would embarrass you but also give you the shirt off her back #discretion advised on giving up your own secrets to Mrs Jennings #Jane Austen

Few questions if possible:

Will, probably in the very distant future, Luz ever openly admit to killing Belos to her close ones? Her mom, Amity, Raine and so etc (even Eda?)…

Rereading your stories made me question something. What was Belos’ end game for Luz? Without the collector and the draining spell, he couldn’t just genocide everyone, so did he just want Luz to become empress and terrorize witches? And then?. She wasn’t like him, “immortal” etc. Could he have tried to show her how to use Palisman as a way to live forever (but be cursed) in another traumatizing lesson?

Also, will Luz get her eyebrow scar?

Thank you!!!

1) IF luz ever admits to killing belos, it would indeed have to be in the Very distant future. she'd need to be certain that there's no chance of political fallout, even if there's a possibility of personal consequences -- ie: the empire & the empress would need to be so obsolete that it doesn't matter what she did to achieve her title. i truly don't know whether she would then, i guess it would depend on the circumstances and her state of mind

2) in the earliest drafts of the AU, i actually DID have belos showing luz how to kill n eat palismen. when luz tells hunter that belos 'showed her how to do something she'd really rather not know how to do' in the first installment, it was dually referring to making grimwalkers and doing That. it ended up not making the cut in the luz POV fic simply bc the fic was already long and it wasn't as relevant theme-wise to the other horror stuff going on. belos wanted luz to carry on his ~*~legacy~*~ by terrorizing the isles but iirc i never figured out his endgame plans super in-depth bc i'm a sham.

3) hadn't thought about the eyebrow scar! it could be fun for her to get it. i'd have to decide whether something dramatic happens or if she just gets it by doing something stupid.

#replies #i think i actually did know a lot more about what belos was thinking and planning a couple months back #but have forgotten like 85% of it. also probably it was all more thematic than sensible #i write based on vibes. nothing makes sense #toh #princess luz au #princess luz au meta

Jane Austen was meta before "meta" existed. Look at this sentence from Pride & Prejudice:To be sure, it would have been more for the advantage of conversation had Miss Lydia Bennet come upon the town; or, as the happiest alternative, been secluded from the world, in some distant farmhouse.

"Come upon the town" means fall into prostitution. Now let’s forget for a second how horrible Meryton is being (Wouldn't it be better for gossip if she was ruined forever?) Jane Austen just referenced her last book and teased her next one!

In Sense & Sensibility, Eliza Brandon, the divorced and disgraced love of Colonel Brandon, was found by him in a sponging house, probably dying of syphilis, after falling into a life of either prostitution or becoming several people's mistress. "I could not trace her beyond her first seducer, and there was every reason to fear that she had removed from him only to sink deeper in a life of sin."

Then, in Mansfield Park, Maria Rushworth, also disgraced and divorced, ends up in a distant farmhouse with Mrs. Norris, "It ended in Mrs. Norris’s resolving to quit Mansfield and devote herself to her unfortunate Maria, and in an establishment being formed for them in another country, remote and private, where, shut up together with little society, on one side no affection, on the other no judgment, it may be reasonably supposed that their tempers became their mutual punishment."

All three women were failed by their guardians/parents and we see the three possibilities: prostitute/mistress, banishment, or married to an unworthy man.

I also get the feeling that Jane Austen couldn’t bear to leave a woman suffering. Even though Lydia is in a terrible marriage, we know that Elizabeth and Jane provide money and allow her to stay with them. She is safe. And as awful as it would be to live with Mrs. Norris, Maria has the benefit of her aunt’s income and the provision from her father. Both of them are in bad situations, but they will be okay. Eliza Brandon dies, but she receives the best care at the end. There is mercy for the fallen women in Austen.

#pride and prejudice #jane austen #meta #sense and sensibility #maria bertram #eliza brandon #three possible paths #but we are meant to pity these women #the fate of the women is also contrasted to that of the men #JA knew it was unfair

presently binging Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility (both 1995) for depress scientific reasons (and because of hotjaneaustenmen's poll) and to my horror i finished P&P thinking "ho i think after all this time i might actually fancy Darcy more than Brandon" bc i had just spent 6 hours swooning over this hot dark broody boy but then i put the film on and Alan Rickman made his appearance and no, no, i'm still firmly in love with Brandon 😌🙏🏻

also i realised i'm canonically older than him now ☠️

#i think i just love them both really #also toby stephen's rochester 🥵#also watching p&p made me want to watch s&s #so now i'm watching s&s #and it's making me want to watch titanic #bc kate is so pretty omg #also why were we deprived of a Brandon playing the piano scene #pride and prejudice #sense and sensibility #jane austen #alan rickman #colin firth

Mansfield Park (1999) might be a fairly dated and inaccurate Austen adaptation, but Henry Crawford is literally the hottest man on this planet

#mansfield park #Mansfield Park #Jane Austen #austen adaptations #fanny price #henry crawford #english literature #pride and prejudice #sense and sensibility #emma #persuasion #northanger abbey #also why does edmund look so ugly #he looks like he plays rugby #or like oliver wood with sideburns #also henry crawford looks like enjolras that's probably why i think he's hot
