#anyway. mia goth date me challenge

[lizzibennet]

i love that scene in emma (2020) where harriet figures out emma’s in love with mr. knightley and emma’s like “harriet, if you believe he loves you, then…” and trails off - i believe for genuine lack of words, but also for genuine acceptance if that were true. she would genuinely want them to be happy. i think she’s genuinely trying her best to be supportive here, even if the situation sucks. but harriet interprets it as her disapproving and says “i refused mr. martin because of you… because you-“ and then cuts herself off, her eyes fill with tears and she runs off. because of course she can’t say emma told her to refuse, can she? she never did outright, although she did everything to make it known she disapproved but say it out loud. and here emma is, genuinely trying her best to not be, like, a bitch, but harriet interprets it as her, once more, saying one thing but meaning another. it truly shows how insidious emma’s meddling has been and how affected harriet was by it… and how upset it makes it her that she was. and in turn how upset it makes emma. it’s all so clear all at once, for both of them. i think that scene is so well done! i love it so much! in this essay i will-

The Immortal Society AU

Sophie loves to say that she started the Illuminati of the immortal people. It’s not a cult, it’s not a club, it’s a… community of healing and love. Immortals aren’t hard to spot — their language, behavior, and interests are a little too attached to the past, they maintain shallow relationships while severing their deep ones, and they have the weirdest concept of time. And when they’re all in the same place? Chaos. Absolute chaos. This is their lives.

Note: Most don’t know when exactly they turned from mortal to immortal. How they “turn” depends on no particular reason, other than the universe decided to fuck you up that day. Since no one can “choose” to be immortal, Sophie and Merlin have made it their ambition (and challenge) to find long-term financial stability for their fellow immortals.

Agatha:

- turned sometime in the 1500s. She was imprisoned for witchcraft in her time, and suffered the crippling second-hand embarrassment when the mob of village Puritans tried to kill her (and failed). On their tenth attempt to burn her at the stake, she hid a few sticks of dynamite under her lumpy dress as a little good-bye present and watched everyone else burn. Although the witch-hunting fever has long passed, she STILL wears her huge boots and smocks, and often mutters to herself about Doomsday — out of spite.

- She drifted from city to city, and lived alone with whatever stray cat she found in the area. Her cat’s name was always some goth variation of a mythical figure. Right now, it’s Reaper.

- It was just bad timing that Agatha was traveling through Paris during the Reign of Terror. Understandably, she faked her death and never went back to Europe again.

- spent the 1800s holed up in a hotel in New York and studying at Princeton under the name Edgar Callis.

- resurfaced officially in the roaring 20’s, where she found Merlin, Sophie, and the Society. She made her first friends in centuries and finally started to build a life again.

Tedros:

- turned after he inherited the family fortune in 2000, (rather recently). He promptly abandoned his life in Monaco and ran off to see the world. After going MIA, his half-brothers took over his father’s business and Tedros was left with nothing. It wasn’t long before he suffered a nervous breakdown. Sophie had caught on quickly — said it was textbook rebellious rich boy — and begged him to join.

- never bothers to change his appearance. Basically, he looks like a knockoff NSYNC member. **sorry, a hot knockoff NSYNC member.

- tries to be “normal”. he’s working a sales job and finishing his foreign language degree. it’s a significant downgrade, but it’ll do for now.

- All his friends are genuinely frustrated that he’s “single” and make it a personal mission to get him laid. They don’t know he’s been dating Agatha for three years. It’s a miracle. 

Sophie:

- She’s been around for a goddamn while, but she’ll never admit what century she turned. She claims to have been involved with Julius Caesar and Cleopatra on multiple occasions, but of course no one knows that for sure.

- she was a singer/actress/model, and at one point, a duchess. She’s conned so many celebrities and aristocrats it’s like second nature. She only stopped because Hort bet her that she couldn’t be a Good Person for a whole year. It’s been two weeks without a slip-up, and Sophie is struggling.  

- created The Immortal Society with an unlikely friend coworker, Merlin. They work well together when they’re at least a mile apart, with noise-canceling headphones.

- She’s surprisingly hard-working and… let’s say a CREATIVE problem-solver. When it comes to connections within the Society, she truly has the right motives and believes in the potential of people.

Merlin:

- considerably younger than Sophie, but acts like he’s the oldest

- finds Arthurian legend funny and will never confirm or deny whether it’s true

- works as a museum conservator —basically preserves fossils and artifacts

- the type of person to say “ok boomer” while simultaneously being a boomer

- lets Sophie do 90% of the work because he just can’t be bothered. only steps in when it’s necessary. He focuses on the bonding aspects of the Society and loves being a matchmaker.

- has a reputation for “playing with the kids”. takes new immortals on fieldtrips to Thailand and Denmark and has fortune teller nights with Bogden and Willam (tarot cards, palm readings, séances, etc).

Hort:

- Everyone in the Society teases him for part-timing at an antique shop (how much more stereotypical can you get) but he makes bank anyway.

- Calls Sophie his on-and-off girlfriend, Sophie calls him her easiest investment.

- Lived in Rome since the 30′s before moving to California. He’s having trouble befriending the American freaks.

- takes pride in being old-fashioned, still uses a gramophone and drives a Bentley

- convinced that the happy ending of his rags to riches immigrant love story is Nicola...... or Sophie. It’s literally been decades and he can’t decide.

Nicola:

- she’s a lawyer. yes, she’s THAT Harvard bitch!

- she’s convinced that all immortals are academic prodigies (in reality, most don’t know the first thing about the time period they came from).

- received PhDs in history, anthropology, and sociology just to keep up with everyone else. Obviously, Merlin’s dying to adopt her even though she’s 20.

- Probably had a fling with Sophie. Naturally, Sophie reeled Hort into their relationship and never looked back.

- Looks like Anathema from Good Omens.

If you would like me to do the Coven too, pls tell me!
