“Exile” by Taylor Swift as a Dizzie song. Like, come on.

I can see you standing, honey, with his arms around your body, laughing but the joke’s not funny at all

Darcy watching the Wickham videos

And it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it, holding all this love out here in the hall

Lizzie leaving Pemberley right as Darcy is trying to ask her out

I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending

Darcy watching episode 60

I can see you staring, honey, like he’s just your understudy, like you’d get your knuckles bloody for me

Lizzie watching Darcy react to Wickham

Second, third, and hundredth chances

Both Lizzie and Darcy have to give each other a lot of chances, you know?

You didn’t even hear me out

That’s both of them during episode 60, isn’t it?

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

Darcy is surprised that Lizzie rejects him, but like . . . her dislike was there, had he known how to look for it.

I know it’s a breakup song, but I feel like the existence of the videos lets us mess with the chronology. Because of the videos, the “other guy” doesn’t have to be a new boyfriend but rather can be a guy from the past whose videos are being watched in the present (i.e., Wickham). Anyway, the “I think I’ve seen this film before” line just got me. It’s so very Dizzie!

Love Languages in P&P

My family were recently discussing love languages. If you don't know, love languages are ways that people give and receive love. They are: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Gift Giving, Quality Time and Physical Touch.

This got me thinking about Pride and Prejudice and how love languages play a pretty big role in the central conflict where Lizzie and Darcy keep getting their wires crossed.

In my interpretation of the story, Lizzie communicates (and receives) love via Words of Affirmation. She says what she means all the time. She constantly tells Jane how much she loves her, she is often called out by others for being too blunt, etc. She has a hard time interpreting love that isn't stated directly. Which is why she misunderstands Darcy.

Darcy's love language, by my estimation, is acts of service. Darcy communicates how he feels through actions because he is really socially awkward and can't with the words and the talking. As awkward and painful as it may have been, he communicates his love for Georgiana by throwing money at George Wickham to reveal his true character. He communicates his love for Bingley by encouraging action (leaving Jane and the Bennets).

In the end, Lizzie and Darcy start to come together when they begin to understand each other's love languages. Lizzie realizes that Darcy communicates through acts of service when he writes her a letter about it, using words, Lizzie's love language. Darcy realizes Lizzie is coming around when she is kind to Georgiana when touring Pemberley, an act of service, Darcy's love language. (In the 1995 BBC miniseries, there is a sweet scene where Lizzie covers for Georgiana's distress at the mention of Wickham by offering to turn the pages of her sheet music while she plays pianoforte.)

Then they go back to using their own love languages, when Darcy's grand romantic gesture is to prevent Lydia from being lied to by Wickham and to take action to save the Bennet family from public shame. And Darcy takes Elizabeth at her word when she stutters out an awkward and unquoted acceptance of his proposal. Austen writes, "Elizabeth feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of his situation, now forced herself to speak; and immediately, though not very fluently, gave him to understand, that her sentiments had undergone so material a change, since the period to which he alluded, as to make her receive with gratitude and pleasure, his present assurances." Speaking is clearly difficult for her, but she still manages to convey, clearly and completely, everything she wants to say to him in this moment.

Pride and Prejudice is a novel of two people who fall in love but have to learn to speak each other's languages before they can understand and act on their feelings.

Just my personal interpretation. Feel free to discuss and disagree.

There's this theory about levels of mediation in media that says it's possible for artificiality to both remind the audience that what they are seeing is a construction while at the same time adding to their level of immersion. [...] the obviously constructed nature of the scene would by its very artificiality create its own sense of...versimilitude.

@flufftober Day 2: “You’ve told your parents?”

William wasn’t sure he had ever been this wildly, this incredibly, this exuberantly happy.

He was fairly certain Gigi had nearly fainted when he’d told her he was taking a month with only remote work, and he couldn’t really blame her. Ever since their parents had died, he’d become a workaholic, studying and proving his worth as a CEO to the board and to the world. He didn’t realize how accustomed he was to just… working and scheduling family and friends around it or for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas until the whole mess with Gigi and Wickham.

He genuinely couldn’t believe he’d been absent enough to miss his sister falling in love with the bastard. It was why he’d come to Netherfield with Bing, why he’d adviced him to stay away from Jane when he thought his best friend might get hurt.

Of course, the second had backfired spectacularly, and he’d thought the first had too. . . Until now.

Which brought him back to the point. Lizzie. Lizzie was… She was amazing. He’d always scoffed at people who did ridiculously exaggerated things in the name of romantic love. But now. . . Now he got it. For Lizzie, for the way she let her breath out in a small gasp when she was kissed before kissing back, the way she threw her head back and laughed openly without fear of being judged, the way she could admit to her faults on the internet in front of her thousands of subscribers, the way she defended those she loved, the way she wrinkled her nose when she thought someone was wrong but was trying to have tact, the way she stuck to her principles. . . . He would do anything.

He'd thought he loved her during his disastrous confession in Collins and Collins—he could see now that that was nothing. The feelings he’d actively fought against until they had to be let out in a horrifyingly insulting manner were nothing compared to what he was feeling now, when Lizzie laughed at his jokes, actively debated points with him, held his hand and was in front of him trying to get the cream off her nose with her tongue.

Just half a year ago, he’d have been repulsed, taking this as even more proof that she was low class, not good enough for him. Now he was entranced, even as they talked about Dr Gardiner’s latest paper. He’d always liked the woman and her work, and more so now that he knew she was Lizzie’s mentor.

“And Lydia always says. . . .” Lizzie trailed off with a wince. William held back a grimace. He knew the pain of recalling what someone had been like before they were hurt when you blamed yourself for that hurt despite everyone around you telling you otherwise.

William had never been a man of action. He’d always liked how words could be calculated and carefully spoken. Lizzie Bennet had changed that, as she had a lot of things. He extended his hand until it covered hers. At that she smiled and stroked his hand with her thumb.

“How is she?” He asked softly.

“Doing better,” She sighed, and set aside her plate with a sense of finality. He indicated for the cheque with his other hand. “But well. . . How can you be doing after all that?”

“She has you and the rest of her family,” William said reassuringly. “She may not be able to bounce back immediately, or feel safe anytime soon, but she knows you love her and she knows she can come to you. That’s enough, I think, for now.”

Lizzie’s smile was loving, awed. William’s heart swelled. “Well, if I’m half the older sibling you are to Gigi, we’ll all be just fine.”

Their kiss was just as perfect as their first one. Their noses bumped slightly, and Lizzie tasted like strawberry and chocolate and the way she pulled on his tie drove him wild, and he wouldn’t change a single thing.

They parted, and William leaned back to catch his breath, heart beating wildly. “And the dinner will help cheer her up too, I suppose,” Lizzie mused.

William’s mind halted. “Dinner? What dinner?”

Lizzie looked up at him through her eyelashes, lips twisted in the way they always were when she felt sheepish. “I haven’t told you about that?” He shook his head. “My parents want to have this huge dinner for all of us – Lydia, cousin Mary, Bing and Jane, Gigi, Charlotte, you and me. . .”

“You’ve told your parents?” William asked, alarmed. “About us?”

“I couldn’t keep it from them,” Lizzie protested, giggling. “Even if I had tried, Lydia would’ve spilled the beans. William, you don’t need to look like you’ve received an execution order!”

“I think I do,” William said. When he’d asked after the dinner at the Bennets’ house, Bing had just laughed nervously and said that Jane had a really colourful family and Caroline had just shuddered and asked him not to make her relive the experience. Thinking of which. . . “Is Caroline coming?”

Lizzie bit her lip. “Well. . . Hopefully she’ll refuse. . .”

“Oh my God,” William wasn’t prone to dramatics but he thought this situation called for it. He hadn’t given much thought to meeting Lizzie’s parents – well, ‘much’ in his standards – probably because his own were dead, but he certainly hadn’t thought it would be in company – particularly of those mentioned.

“Come on, it won’t be so bad,” She said cajolingly.

“Or it’ll be a complete disaster,” He muttered, worst case scenarios running through his head.

“Either way, it’ll be fun,” Lizzie grinned, and then became solemn. “William, if you really don’t want to, we don’t have to do this. We can take Gigi and Lydia and Charlotte and go for dinner ourselves and another time with Jane and Bing, and you can meet my parents later.”

Of course she’d found out the crux of the matter. “You shouldn’t have to skip a family dinner for me,” He said, changing the subject.

She allowed it. “Are you kidding? Like you said, it’ll be good to escape the disaster.” She paused. “Besides, it’s for you. If you’re not comfortable with it, we don’t have to do it.”

William’s heart stuttered. “No, I. . .” He cleared his throat. “The notion was just discomforting at first. I would love to attend dinner.”

“You don’t have to exaggerate,” Lizzie said.

He shook his head. “I’m not.” He hesitated for a moment. “If it’s possible. . . I can meet your parents before?”

“Of course,” Lizzie said immediately. “Maybe the day before or just before everyone gets there.” She eyed him knowingly, but didn’t bring up William’s feelings regarding his parents.

“Besides, Gigi would be upset if we ruined her chance of seeing this spectacle,” He said, not bringing it up either. A genuine smile spread across his face at the thought.

“True enough,” Lizzie laughed. “Then that’s settled.” She paused. “Maybe we can invite your Aunt Catherine and see her expression when you talk about how you liked ‘my fine eyes’.”

“Please stop bringing that up,” William said, the tips of his ears reddening. Then the full sentence registered and he laughed, wholeheartedly, imagining his aunt sitting in the Bennets’ dining room, in the full loving chaos that was their home. “She’d go crazy.”

Lizzie snickered. “Yeah, poor Annie.” Her voice dipped in an uncanny imitation of his aunt when she talked about her dog. “You see, Annie, these heathens. They’ve brainwashed poor Darcy and his lovely so capable sister. You’re so lucky to be with someone like me, oh yes you are.”

William couldn’t stop his laughter. He hated being undignified in public, but like a lot of things – Lizzie made him not care. Lizzie made him want to live.

“You’re amazing, Lizzie Bennet.” He said, adoration and devotion dripping through every syllable.

Lizzie flushed, smiling widely. And they leaned in and kissed again. William could see a waiter looking awkward, holding the bill/cheque in his hand. But he didn’t care.

Lizzie was worth it. Lizzie was worth everything.

Even being in the same room as Gigi, Lydia, Charlotte, Caroline, and Lizzie’s parents at the same time.

If you want to do a commentary on your pride and prejudice fic that’d be awesome

This is the Fic in question.

To set the scene: Lizzie is very heavily pregnant, like two days past her due date is what I had in my head. Darcy is none stop attentive to Lizzie 24/7, and Lizzie is absolutely 100% over it hence why the very first thing she says is "Darling if you keep pacing like that you're going to make me sick" because poor Darcy has just stress-city this whole pregnancy.

At this point Lizzie and Darcy have been married for two years now, and I wanted to show how even though Lizzie and Darcy know each other like the back of their hands, they still have their learning curves as everyone dose in relationships.

From the books and movies you only really get Lizzie stressing out over their relationship(other than Darcy's confession) so I wanted to convey in action how much Darcy truly cares. His confession to Lizzie was Lizzie's wake up call, and Lizzie telling him "I have faith in you Darcy, you should too" his his wake up call.

I fully believe that Darcy truly is the most level headed person in their whole family(extended and core family wise) so I feel that it was inevitably that at some point Darcy would loosing his cool over his wife and his baby because he cares so much.

We really know very little about Darcy's family, we know that he is the eldest child to a very high society family, his mother and father have passed, he has his sister and cousin (Whom he's meant to sent an example for), I feel like after his father passed and everything with George happened he really questioned how he was raised and how he was going to raise his sister. Thus translating over his worry about being a good father.

Without question whether Lizzie wanted kids or not at first, she was always ready to have a family, I mean she has four sisters, even if she didn't want kids she always knew she's have a fair share or nieces and nephews. So I feel like Lizzie was always prepared for kids.

The moral that I wanted to get across in the fic was seeing Lizzie calm Darcy of his worries simply because yes they both can be very level headed but Darcy more than Lizzie, so I wanted to turn the tables
