[firawren]

Inspired by the @captainsvscaptains tournament, I'm doing a single poll which is simply to pick the best captain that I post about on my tumblr. What's the criteria? Whatever the heck you want it to be.

Yeah I put Captain Swan on here even though it's a relationship not a character, sue me

...But let me observe that all histories are against you—all stories, prose and verse. If I had such a memory as Benwick, I could bring you fifty quotations in a moment on my side the argument, and I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman’s inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman’s fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men.”

“Perhaps I shall. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.”

-Persuasion, Ch 23

“I am sorry it went off. But these things happen so often! A young man, such as you describe Mr. Bingley, so easily falls in love with a pretty girl for a few weeks, and, when accident separates them, so easily forgets her, that these sort of inconstancies are very frequent.” (Mrs. Gardiner)

-Pride & Prejudice, Ch 25

Jane Austen, taking the pen into her hands and fixing the record.

Jane, writing the conversation Anne and Captain Harville have about love:

the most frustating thing about the new persuasion is that everything looks so good - it's cast so well - and sometimes you get the odd glimpse of how fucking good it could have been if the actors had been given a good script

"Captain Harville, who had in truth been hearing none of it, now left his seat, and moved to a window, and Anne seeming to watch him, though it was from thorough absence of mind, became gradually sensible that he was inviting her to join him where he stood. He looked at her with a smile, and a little motion of the head, which expressed,

"Come to me, I have something to say;" and the unaffected, easy kindness of manner which denoted the feelings of an older acquaintance than he really was, strongly enforced the invitation. She roused herself and went to him.

The window at which he stood was at the other end of the room from where the two ladies were sitting, and though nearer to Captain Wentworth's table, not very near. As she joined him, Captain Harville's countenance re-assumed the serious, thoughtful expression which seemed its natural character.

"Look here," said he, unfolding a parcel in his hand, and displaying a small miniature painting, "do you know who that is?"

"Certainly: Captain Benwick."

"Yes, and you may guess who it is for. But," (in a deep tone,) "it was not done for her. Miss Elliot, do you remember our walking together at Lyme, and grieving for him? I little thought then--but no matter. This was drawn at the Cape. He met with a clever young German artist at the Cape, and in compliance with a promise to my poor sister, sat to him, and was bringing it home for her; and I have now the charge of getting it properly set for another! It was a commission to me! But who else was there to employ? I hope I can allow for him. I am not sorry, indeed, to make it over to another. He undertakes it;" (looking towards Captain Wentworth,) "he is writing about it now." And with a quivering lip he wound up the whole by adding, "Poor Fanny! she would not have forgotten him so soon!"

Me reading this passage from the novel:

#persuasion #jane austen #poor captain harville #like they really could not find ONE other person to do this #so this guy isn't reminded of how Benwick just replaced his sister with no time to spare? #ice cold

Can't believe Rupert Penry-Jones' Captain Wentworth is barely winning!!!! It's Wentworth - the man is half-agony half hope - writer of the most romantic letter in existence! He has lovely fun friends and you'd get great in- laws!!! He looks like Rupert Penry-Jones!!! Likes music! remembers you don't like to play cards after 8 years!!! Speeds back to his friend regardless of how hard or relentless the journey to make sure he's not on his own when he gets bad news!! Has great stories!!! He looks like Rupert Penry-Jones!!! Loves the sea!! Is Rich!!! Notices you're tired and makes sure you get the seat in the gig even when he wants to hate you!! Is so deeply in love that even after 8 years he can't get over you!! Self-made man!!! Looks like Rupert Penry Jones!!! Look at these besties!!!!!

FMK:

Pride and Prejudice and/or Persuasion

You have done the world a great service! I just realized that I never posted my highly scientific (lol) rating of the sexual abilities of Austen men! So now that is on it's way.

So, first of all, when I play FMK in the Regency, I have access to both birth control and some penicillin. Like maybe I just give them a shot in the arm when they aren't looking (though I think for some certain men *cough* *Willoughby* *cough* we might need something more broad spectrum...) Also, I'm just assuming everyone is free for the taking.

Persuasion:

F: Captain Benwick, I want some poetry, but not too much poetry.

M: Captain Harville, when you are a mother yourself, demonstrated good parenting is key.

K: Can I just maim? I'm not terribly down with murder. Mr. Elliot though. I would totally marry Sir Walter and disinherit Mr. Elliot by baby, that's some good revenge. Revenge by baby!

Pride & Prejudice:

F: Caroline Bingley. She went to an only girls school, I'm betting she has experience. She's hot. I want to listen to her drama (but not for too long)

M: Bingles. Darcy sounds like a lot of work. I need a man who can already laugh at himself. We'll just keep the sister thing quiet.

K: The obvious answer is Wickham. But I've actually got more of a beef with Mrs. Younge, who almost packed off Georgiana with Wickham and then demanded payment to recover another teenager under the power of Wickham. I feel like knocking her off might do more for the greater good.

#I guess this is a good place to mention that I'm bi #but i can only marry men in this era #and carry on discreet affairs with women #jane austen #pride and prejudice #persuasion #captain benwick #captain harville #caroline bingley #Bingles #charles bingley #question response

[fictionadventurer]

It’s sweet how all three of the sea captains in Persuasion are each known for being faithful to a woman. Harville is devoted to his wife and family. Benwick was engaged to one woman for five years and loved her so much her death sends him into depression. And of course Wentworth never stopped loving Anne. None of this “woman in every port” business here. Just three guys who are madly in love.
