The Crawford Family Album: Volume XVII
On to a family that I suspect might be a favourite for some - the Crawfords.
Tumblr media
Oldest girl Estella is quite grown up these days.
~ Gemini 7 / 7 / 4 / 9 / 8
~ Excitable / Over-Emotional / Bot-Fan
~ OTH: Cuisine
~ Favourite Colour(s): Yellow / Turquoise
Tumblr media
She would like her grandfather Henry to know that she's definitely his best grandchild!
Tumblr media
She's completely adorable...
Tumblr media
...and charming...
Tumblr media
...and terrific with her younger siblings. What more could any grandparent want?
Tumblr media
The family has also recently celebrated Octavius's first birthday.
~ Gemini 0 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 9
~ Born Performer / Loves the Outdoors
~ OTH: Music & Dance
Tumblr media
He's an absolute cutie too!
Tumblr media
We mustn't neglect the grown-ups though. It was finally time to grant Frances and Green Bean's longstanding wish, to get married.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It just had to be a beach wedding, taking advantage of the fine autumn weather.
Tumblr media
There was a lively gathering of family and friends after the ceremony.
Tumblr media
But there are still potties to be emptied, even if you are in your wedding dress.
Tumblr media
Wedding guest Bennet kindly took charge of vermin control though.
Tumblr media
And then there's Lydia. This is just SO her.

Could you rank the Austen main couples from the least to the most likely to have sex before they are married?
Least to Most Likely:
Edmund Bertram & Fanny Price: It is all very proper. They probably have sex with their clothes on after the wedding.
Fitzwilliam Darcy & Elizabeth Bennet: She would have been down, he wasn't. He later congratulates himself on his excellent self control.
Edward Ferrars & Elinor Dashwood: There were definitely smooches, but after that roller coaster of a courtship, Elinor wants things legal and in writing. Also, just because something feels good doesn't make it right, MARIANNE.
Henry Tilney & Catherine Morland: he is a gentleman, but it was really the long distance relationship that prevented them from doing anything. Was there some racy content in those letters? I'd love to know...
George Knightley & Emma Woodhouse: Donwell is right there. You can walk right over...
Charles Bingley & Jane Bennet: "Bingley, who wanted to be alone with Jane" I see your intentions, sir. I see them!
Colonel Brandon & Marianne Dashwood: "I have feelings," said she, "let's indulge them." If something feels good, that makes it moral, right? Romanticism says yes, ELINOR.
Captain Frederick Wentworth & Anne Elliot: Do not care about anything except getting married as quickly as possible. Banns take far too long when you've been waiting 8 years and Napoleon just escaped from Elba. Let's get this DONE.
BONUS:
Lucy Steele & Robert/Edward Ferrars: No way in hell with either of them. She's too cunning to give up her best card before she has the man secure.
Frank Chuchill & Jane Fairfax: Not in a million years, no matter how many times Frank makes puppy eyes.
Robert Martin & Harriet Smith: Abbey Mill farm is like, right there. You can walk over. It has a hay barn...

Also, marriage and birth records show that premarital sex was pretty common. Or else the Regency era had magically good premature baby care 😉

Emma is Austen’s best novel
Pride & Prejudice contains Austen’s best romance
Northanger Abbey is my favorite out of Austen’s novels

[Original date: 17 March 2018]
Sadly ignored moments from Austen novels:
In Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland visits Henry Tilney at home in his parsonage. It turns out that, while he's super outgoing, at home his bffs are his terriers and NEWFIE PUPPIES. Relatably, she ends up playing with the puppies and wondering where all the time went.
In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth is stuck handling the coffeepot at a party. She gets angry at people actually wanting coffee, because she wants to exchange longing glances with Darcy and hate everyone else he talks to. Will he come back for a second cup or not? DUN DUN DUN
In Mansfield Park, Fanny doesn't understand why she keeps thinking about how pretty and charismatic and talented her very morally objectionable rival is, or why she keeps visiting her even though she(Fanny) doesn't like her. She confusedly calls it 'a kind of fascination.'
The eighteenth century's version of Discourse Hell was incessant arguments about the value of modern literature compared to the classics. But by Persuasion, the characters are perfectly aware of living in the Romantic era of poetry and think it's GREAT. (In an addictive sort of way.)
The last villain Austen wrote, in Sanditon, is a proto-dudebro who regards himself as a rakish intellectual, but in reality just plots ineffectually while making inaccurate literary references.

Pride and Prejudice is overrated. Persuasion as well. Northanger abbey is much better than those two combined.

The Tilney Family Album: Volume XV
More Tilneys today.
Tumblr media
Domestic bliss with Esther and Eleanor.
Tumblr media
If only Eleanor would put her logic toy down for a moment, Esther has something very important to ask her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This isn't really going quite how Esther envisaged...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but she ploughs on gamely.
Tumblr media
It's all too much too soon for Eleanor...
Tumblr media
and she has to refuse.
Tumblr media
She does love Esther, but thinks it's far too soon to be making a long-term commitment to each other.
Tumblr media
Anyway, right now, there's a party to concentrate on!
Tumblr media
Cousins and best mates Bertram and Bennet find a quiet spot to chill out and catch up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Esther figures that maybe Eleanor just needed to sleep on it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But no, Eleanor really knows her own mind on this.
Tumblr media
Besides, Eleanor is too distracted by saying a final farewell to Max to think about anything else right now. (Sorry for the lousy picture, but I was taken completely by surprise - much like Joanna!)
Tumblr media
Esther is sure she knows the way to her girlfriend's heart, and presents Eleanor with a gift that she has been absolutely longing for. They don't have much money to spare, but it was worth every penny, to see the delight on her beloved’s face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And - just maybe - her thoughtfulness will make Eleanor realise that they're really meant to be together, forever.
Tumblr media
Eh, no.
Tumblr media
But despite their strained relationship, Eleanor really is delighted with the top-notch telescope that Esther gave her. (Today's instalment was brought to you by @lazyduchess's Autonomous Engagement mod.)

First Kiss for each Austen Heroine Couple
Fitzwilliam Darcy & Elizabeth Bennet: after they were married, when no one else was around. Mr. Darcy does not do PDA.
Charles Bingley & Jane Bennet: they were making out behind a bush while Lady Catherine was scolding Elizabeth. Charles was just hoping for a single kiss, he modestly hadn't expected Jane to be so excited about it.
Anne Elliot & Captain Frederick Wentworth: there was smooching at 19 and 23, you cannot convince me there was not. At 27 and 31, they really thought they would be more mature, but honestly if they hadn't been married as rapidly as possible there would have been serious canoodling.
Catherine Morland & Henry Tilney: Catherine ran after Henry when he was about to leave Fullerton and very dramatically kissed him before he mounted his horse. Then they had to wait about six months to do it again. It was torment.
Emma Woodhouse & George Knightley: They kissed in the garden around Hartfield after getting engaged. No one knows who initiated it, but on reflection it was probably Emma.
Elinor Dashwood & Edward Ferrars: Marianne was trying to leave them in corners and behind trees the whole time Edward was staying at the cottage, which they found very amusing and took advantage of fully. The first kiss was out of doors, after their engagement.
Marianne Dashwood & Colonel Brandon: You know that Colonel Brandon was attempting to be a perfect gentleman and Marianne was trying to to be anything but a modest lady.
Fanny Price & Edmund Bertram: Despite ample opportunity and the feelings of the lady, not until they were in the bedroom after the wedding.
Bonus! Jane Fairfax & Frank Churchill: There was pre-engagement making out and Jane felt so bad about it, but couldn't help herself.
Bonus! Bonus! I would bet my bonnet that Jane Bennet was born not quite nine respectable months after her parent's marriage.

Just randomly thought, huh, we tend to discuss which Austen men we'd marry, but what about the opposite?

Thinking about how Jane Austen's six novels taken together (in writing order, not publication order) become an increasingly scathing criticism of social class, i.e:
Northanger Abbey: Individual members of the gentry (General Tilney, chiefly) come in for some criticism, but mostly on a personal level: General Tilney is a grasping, tyrannical father to be sure but we hear little (though we might easily infer) of what he is like as the resident landholder. The final crisis of the novel, General Tilney's refusal to sanction Henry and Catherine's marriage, is resolved by Eleanor's marriage to a Viscount.
Sense and Sensibility: The "correctness" and "elegance" of the fashionable members of society- the Dashwoods, Robert Ferras, Lady Middleton- are negatively contrasted to the warmness and frankness of Mrs Jennings- whose kind-heartedness makes her more attractive, in spite of her lower-class origins and perceived vulgarity, than Fanny, Lady Middleton or Mrs Ferras (snr).
Pride and Prejudice: The aristocratic Lady Catherine de Bourgh is an interfearing busy body whose title and money only excuse her officiousness and rudeness. Darcy's pride in his superior situation to the Bennets leads him to act wrongly with regard to Bingley and Jane. Aunt and Uncle Gardiner, in trade, are more respectable- certainly better parental figures- than the gentleman Mr Bennet (and Mrs Bennet too). At the same time - Darcy's strengths are displayed in his undertakings as the resident landholder of the Pemberly estates- he supports the poor, and his situation allows him to shield the more vulnerable when he his spurred to act (Georgiana, to a less successful extent Lydia). Wickham's circumstances - debt, etc- could easily be read as the consequences of his wanting to step out of his place- his desire to be the oldest, or at least the second, son of a Mr Darcy- rather than what he 'is'- the son of Mr. Darcy's steward
Mansfield Park: Hey. HEY. look at the shitshow of a baronetcy. Lady Bertram is functionally useless. Sir Thomas is such a bad father that his daughters marry idiots just to get away from him. Also, having money can't give you intelligence or a personality. Most of "fashionable society" are actually miserable and mercenary and also probably immoralistic. The Church is clouded by corruption and isn't actively benefiting the local parish the way it should. The whole thing is underpinned by slavery, and the hardworking Price Children are ultimatley more deserving than the flighty Bertram ones. THAT BEING SAID: the portrait of Mr. Price is hardly better than the one of Sir Thomas, and Mansfield Park does stabilise- indeed, begins grows stronger with the reformation of its heir, and the implication that Fanny and Edmund go on to have children of their own. There is less of a quarrel with establishment, and more of a quarrel with the people who fill it.
Emma: "Gentility is inherent one can sense it in a person-" no you can't lmao shut up. There is literally no inherent difference marking out a gentleman's daughter and a farmer's daughter. Emma's snobbery as to class leaves her, at various times, both isolated and into some *serious* missteps. Emma and Frank Churchill both have a tendency to treat others as playthings, as their money allows them to do so.
Persuasion: The peerage/nobility are patently ridiculous throw them out in favour of [relative] meritocracy and hard workers. Sure, the resident landowners are supposed to be of benefit to those beneath them but they're not, actually, they take all of the privileges and fulfil non of the responsibilities and are pretty much uniformly selfish and our heroine Casts Them Off.
