The other day I watched pride and prejudice 2005 for the 2nd time and I can’t stop thinking about it 🫠
I fell in love with Mr Darcy’s and Elizabeth’s stolen glances at each other and especially the most BEAUTIFUL QUOTE EVER
“U have bewitched me body and soul”😫😫😫
PLEASE LET ME FIND A MAN WHICH WILL DESCRIBE HIS LOVE FOR ME LIKE THIS 🙌🏻
Anyways let me know if you have any thoughts on it as well
Or even let me know if you noticed any parallels

Movie Review: Netflix's Persuasion (my honest thoughts)
I finally finished watching Netflix's Persuasion the other day and now I can share my overall thoughts. Please take note that earlier this week I posted my initial reaction about the movie so there is perhaps a slight change on my review after I watched the whole movie.
Okay, so I as I mentioned previously that I liked the movie despite the changes. But now I'm starting to have these feelings that they're trying too hard to gain attention from the current generation of kids. The "because he's a ten. I never trust a ten" line really changes my whole perspective.
It's too GenZ (sorry) and with that "he's a ten" obviously shows they're their target audience and not the fans of Jane Austen's work. Sure it's a movie adaptation and there would be changes but isn't that way too much making it far from it's time period? I wished they didn't add that line. It was all going smoothly for me but it all fell down when she (Anne Elliot) said those eight words.
Sometimes I think that the production team has forgotten to appreciate a beloved classic and I believe they should've made it to a more serious tone compared to the "romcom" tone. I bet if they do the former it would gain much more positive feedbacks and who knows might even an Oscar.
Though it was still a good movie for me but it is a shame they wasted the full potential of a great novel and being true to it's time period.

This was too good not to share, and I am now putting out into the world the desire for an animated, animal friends version of Pride and Prejudice that does EXACTLY THIS. It would be AMAZING.
For anyone interested in the original: https://www.tumblr.com/pagerunner/191002786668/pride-prejudice-2005-dir-joe-wright
I found the screengrab on pinterest originally, so give the OG poster a like too!

The more I think about it, the more I think that Persuasion has my favorite premise of all of Jane Austen's novels
Anne Elliot as a character speaks to my soul. She feels tremendous guilt for a decision she made eight years ago. Her life is lonely, as she doesn't really have anyone she can truly confide in despite being surrounded by people. So she swallows her pain, the yearning she feels deep in her soul, and vows that if nothing else at least she'll be helpful.
And of course she is reunited with Frederick Wentworth (the one that got away) who seems to hate her now, and she just keeps going. She keeps being kind and supporting her loved ones while slowly carving out a life for herself. There's something about her classic heroism that just feels so attainable. I don't have Elizabeth Bennett's wit, or Jane Bennett's unwavering belief in the goodness of everyone, or even Elinor's constant composure. But I can be like Anne and just keep moving forward attempting to be helpful
Of course it all works out in the end, and Anne is finally surrounded by people who truly appreciate her, even if she had to wait an extra eight years. Others have observed the fairy tale quality of the ending, and perhaps that's why it speaks to me. The idea that if you just keep doing your best and being kind, you'll eventually find happiness

I was rereading the correspondence included in Pride and Prejudice, and I'm always amused by the "Yours, etc." used at the end of several of the letters simply because it was too much work to write it out the sign off in full. But what really gets me is that Mr. Collins letter to Mr. Bennet at Lydia's elopement is the only one to end with:
"I am, dear sir," etc., etc.
Like Austen is physically tapping you on the shoulder, going: "look, I'm not going to write out any of these commonplace civilities, but I do need you to know that Mr. Collins uses much much more of them"

Thanks to @hotjaneaustenmenpoll I decided to watch Persuasion (1995) for the millionth time this weekend, and inspired me to create some propaganda on why you should vote for Captain Wentworth as the Hottest Austen Man:
Anne's face the moment she saw him after eight years screams "Oh, no, he is hot!" and she is right.
He makes one snarky comment towards Anne and immediately shows a regretted puppy face, because he realized he can't hurt her in any way. Gentleman as it finest.
Life of the party charms the pants off anyone. Not literally, except for Anne.
Tumblr media
Mister "I don't care about Anne", but will gladly listen to anything other people has to say about her and won't stand seeing her struggle in anyway. Pure gentleman behavior.
Also, will give deadly stares to the men that approach Anne in a romantic manner.
Ciaran Hinds in a Marine Uniform. Even Lady Dalrymple said he looked fine as hell in that uniform.
Tumblr media
The letter with that voice, perfection.
youtube
The yearning and longing on his eyes is worthy of an Oscar, this man embodies that character perfectly.
I know you love Darcy, I do too, but that is the obvious choice; Wentworth is as good as he is (if not even more).

step into this deeply self-indulgent fantasy w me. sensory experience intricately detailed and emphasized for my pleasure :>.
you're blindfolded. all you see is void. your hearing elevated, you notice the sound of them walking softly around where you're kneeled on the floor. there is a pillow under your knees, and a rope holding your hands clasped behind your back. you're breathing heavily, and the event has not even begun.
the footsteps stop in front of you, and a hand softly touches your head at the crown, running fingers through your hair. the gentle touch is followed by a harsh grip to the back of your head, pulling you forward until your lips meet flesh. you please them for as long as they like, gently sucking and licking away with no thoughts or complaints to be had.
you're eventually pulled off, and you succeed at not complaining about this despite yourself. a thumb nudges its way into your mouth, and you suck for another moment before it's removed. wet fingers suddenly touch you gently over your patiently throbbing tcock, but only for a moment. only for long enough to make you need more.
footsteps once again tread around the room. you hear a small metallic flicking noise and feel your heartbeat quicken. his low and gentle voice instructs you to stay still, and to try not to be too loud about this.
sharp, hot, stinging wax drops beat softly, one by one, onto your shoulder blade. the feeling makes your entire upper body flush. drip by drip, they patter down your chest, then your stomach, and each pat of wax forces the air out of your lungs.
a sharp gasp fills the room when the first drop thuds softly onto your right thigh. another when the next drop follows only an inch higher up. a quiet cry fills the room when five drops are unloaded at once, dancing towards your inner thigh. their stern voice reminds you to be quiet, so a stifled moan follows the first drop truly close to your eager and hot cock. you don't know how much of the candle is burned when the drops finally cease, your thighs both canvases to your lover's hard work. you only notice how loud you'd been when the whimpers actually stop.
finally, you are told to stand slowly, and you are lead to the bed. your blindfold stays on, but your hands are free to grasp and scratch as you're stretched out. you come with fingers rubbing deft circles on your begging cock and biting into your lover's shoulder, their voice lovingly reminding you how good you've been tonight.
