I'm really tired of the "woman sad about her arranged marriage" trope, especially if that woman is royalty.

I am sure that many women across time were sad about their arranged marriages, but I'm sure a lot of others were excited, ambivalent, or resigned. Again, especially if you were royalty! I am sure if you were born a princess, you were trained from birth that your whole purpose in life was to marry someone important to solidify the power of the person on the throne. And honestly, it's an important job, if it wasn't, they wouldn't have tried so hard to do it.

That woman isn't just marrying another king or prince, she's going to be an ambassador of her country. She's supposed to be there promoting good relations. She isn't just a woman being sold off, she has a job! Also, if she is marrying the reigning monarch (or the heir), she may well end up running the country if the king is off at war or he dies when the heir is really young. That happened a lot throughout history! (or maybe she marries the third son and helps him find his way to the throne. Good for her)

It just feels like a modern sentiment being projected back. In Romeo and Juliet, when Juliet's mother first brings up marrying her to Paris, Juliet's basically cool with it and says she'll try to like him. She would have known this was going to happen because that is what rich women do, they marry into another family so their two families can be buddies. What else would she even be expecting?

It wouldn't bother me so much except that it's all we see! Give me a story about a woman who is like, "Cool, I shall give it my all!" Or she's like rolling up her sleeves and planning how she's going to get the court on her side and rule France, power behind the throne style (these women are mostly portrayed as villains, but who is to say the king would do a better job?). And also, have a little faith in women's fathers? You think men in the past didn't occasionally consider the happiness of their daughters? Not even a little bit?

#rant #not Jane Austen #but related I feel #Let me at France I would totally rule that country #kind fathers were invented in 1952 #tropes #tropes we hate

jane austen heroines at the eras tour

(bc the spanish sale is tomorrow and i’m descending into madness so this is me manifesting🕯️)

- catherine is the biggest taylor stan out of all of them. she has a number 13 on her hand and glitter on her face. she tried to dress up as every era so her outfit is kind of messy but she’s absolutely the coolest dressed. she goes around giving EVERYONE friendship bracelets. her boyfriend henry was happy to tag along, he became a fan thanks to cathy and now they’re a swiftie power couple. eleanor is also there btw, she also likes taylor and loves to see henry and cathy blast to every song.

- emma woodhouse: she bought a VIP package for her and harriet. she’s gone full 1989 with her outfit and looks like she’s the one going to perform instead of taylor lmao. her tiktok live has 600K+ people. harriet’s outfit is a mix between debut and fearless bc she gives me those vibes idk.

- marianne and elinor: marianne absolutely dragged her sister to the show. she’s in her reputation era because i said so. she screams so loud she has all the karens complaining about her. elinor pretends she went against her will and only to babysit marianne, but she’s secretly amused and loves watching her sister have fun. also, she kinda loves evermore and folklore, and marianne eyes her when taylor sings august bc ‘he was never mine’, you weren’t mine to lose etc.

- lizzie: she loves taylor, she’s just low-key. she’s there with jane babysitting lydia and kitty, who are absolutely unhinged and scream at the top of their lungs for the whole three hours (they are so loud kids are kind of scared of them). bingley is ALSO there because he’s actually a huge fan and lizzie has to look away from them when taylor sings lover and tells them to get a room. her favorite album is midnights and you bet your ass she’s SCREAMING the lyrics to vigilante shit.

- anne is dressed with her folklore cardigan and the evermore braid and you can’t tell me otherwise. she cries silently during champagne problems and tolerate it (it reminds her of her family) but luckily fred is there to cheer her up. he went bc he knows anne is a big fan and actually tried to learn some of the lyrics. they both slow dance to lover and enchanted. taylor sang songs from debut as surprise songs and you can’t tell me anne doesn’t have that whole album memorized.

- fanny: oh fanny. she went alone because no one would go with her. luckily for her, she runs into one catherine morland and they exchange friendship bracelets. henry, eleanor and cathy adopt her and fanny has the time of her life. she also has a hard time during the folklore/evermore set, but when she sees cathy and henry having so much fun, she just can’t feel sad anymore. her outfit is very simple, but she lets cathy paint a number 13 on her cheek and spread glitter all over her and now she looks fabulous.

#jane austen #taylor swift #I AM LOSING MY MIND #my friends dont wanna go abroad so we didn’t try any other countries and im 💀

The spirit of Jane Austen hovered over the ruckus. When Mrs Hannibal Macarthur saw in one of Davidson's letters a slighting reference to her daughter having turned the boy's head with "flattering approbation and partial smiles", she fired off a defence to Warthill:

Be assured, my dear Mrs. Leslie, of the unshaken integrity of your Son; he is respected by all. Mr. Davidson's opinion of [Kate] is, indeed, quite erroneous; and I could have hoped he would have given me credit for instilling something more solid, which would protect her from the fluttering nonsense of romantic love; and to have cherished an affection whose superstructure is religion and prudence.

"Killing for Country: A Family History" - David Marr

Ranking Jane Austen heroes/men on how good of a father they’d be?

I have faith that all of them would be good fathers. After all, Jane Austen clearly knows what bad fathers look like and she is pretty harsh about them (rightfully). I think all of them would be good in different ways, so instead of ranking, here is their dad type:

Fitzwilliam Darcy: Providing dad, his love language is buying his children expensive toys and praising their accomplishments to relations. He is definitely involved in education and discipline. Wee bit overprotective of his daughters, but you get it, he has valid reasons. Gives his sons handshakes instead of hugs.

Charles Bingley: Fun dad, he's not sure about this whole 'parenting' part... but Baby Charles, did you see this cool rock? Do you want to go up on Daddy's shoulders so you can see the elephant? Do you want to see Daddy's fencing swords? (Oh, good point Jane, we'll put those away for a few years...)

Frederick Wentworth: Teamwork dad, he knows that Anne could totally handle everything herself, but he's not afraid to help. He feels confident removing a toddler from someone's back after all. Occasionally cannot figure out what to do and stares helplessly at his wife.

George Knightley: Nurturing dad DOES BABY GEORGE NEED ANOTHER BLANKET? DOES HE NEED A SNACK? BABY GEORGE, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOUR PRESENT COMFORT??? (No, Mr. Knightley, he's fine.)

Colonel Brandon: Affectionate dad, he cries when any of his children hits a major milestone. He feels the need to constantly hug and kiss his children. They are miracles, all of them are miracles, and he is going to make them happy and what happened to him and Eliza will never happen again! They need another hug

Edward Ferrars: Thoughtful dad, constantly thinking about what will make his children feel happy and loved. Encourages them to follow their dreams. Has minor panic attacks if he says or does anything that remotely reminds him of his own mother. Elinor assures him regularly that he's doing an excellent job (because he is).

Edmund Bertram: Interactive dad, takes time to discuss their lessons and answer questions. Very anxious about his children's moral education. Will take the time to draw lines on their letter paper. Will never admit he's wrong even when he makes a mistake.

Henry Tilney: Perfect dad, like honestly, have you met him? He's a 10/10, all the best parenting traits rolled into one man. AND YET, his oldest son thinks he's totally lame.

Bonus: Frank Churchill left his child at Kensington Gardens once twice, but Jane never found out so it doesn't count.

Bonus bonus: Robert Martin totally has a mini-me son who rides beside him on a pony.

#jane austen #question response #great question!#I lied I rated Henry Tilney 1 #henry tilney supremacy #Fun fact: all women who read Northanger Abbey ovulate when they get to the country walk chapter #Austen heroes #but honestly I think they would all be good #and Henry's children will groan at all of his jokes #It will be very sobering for him
