To tell the truth, for me the appeal of the Regency Romance Genre is something like:
-5% a single man in possession of a good fortune
-35% pretty dresses and bonnets and parasols
-60% a society with actual codified rules, that everyone knows and is taught, and never having to guess what the appropriate thing to say or do to not get labeled a Weirdo Who Can’t Have Normal Conversation. I would ROCK an interaction where I had a specific list of topics and duration of time, underpinned by how much I am allowed to share or not share about my personal life based on our relationship.

My dad complains that Jane Austin is about rich people with rich people problems. Like dad, you own three houses and sent your daughter to college with no debt. The Bennets WISH they had what you had.

There is nothing more hilarious than Jane Austin's utter disgust of Gothic literature.
Literally, a good chunk of Northanger Abbey is just Austin bitching about the women of Gothic lit being dumb, and completely unrealistic.
The salt is real.
I'm pretty sure that if Jane Austin came back to life and someone printed her a copy of My Immortal, she would eat it in utter rage.

Jane Austin History Coincidence?
Okay this is so crack pot so i apologize in advance but I cannot stop thinking about this so enjoy a bit of Jane Austin history that might relate to our angel and demon!
So on the second rewatch of GO2 me and my roommate decided to google a bunch of the niche references and such, just to make sure we caught on to all of the jokes or jabs that were being thrown around (Crowley ordering a drink for lady bracknell basically calling Azi a lot of work/needy is amazing but besides the point) and so when they are in the bar scene and talk about Jane Austin I wanted to understand why Crowley and Azi remembered her very differently. I then discovered the obvious ties that are Pride and Prejudice and the story Neil is trying to tell us about Crowley and Azi's relationship. But I'm not really here to elaborate on Pride and Prejudice.
When you google Jane Austin and click on her wiki page it talks about her work in summary, her family life, and then her education. It's in the education section when I noticed something crazy.
The sentence reads, "In 1783, Austen and her sister Cassandra were sent to Oxford to be educated by Mrs Ann Cawley who took them to Southampton later that the year.
...
im sorry???
educated by a MRS ANN CAWLEY
MRS ANTHONY CROWLEY
it gets better...
When you look up Ann Cawley
"Mrs. Ann Cawley (1736-1787) was the widow of Ralph Cawley who was Principal of Brasenose 1770-1777; they had no children.  [...] When Ralph Cawley died in 1777 his widow would have had to vacate this house. Under the terms of her husband's will she received his chariot and three horses, and all his household furniture and goods, excepting his books, bookcases and manuscripts. "
RALPH... aziraphale...
aziRAPHale
HELLO?
SHE INHERITED HIS BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS??
one more layer now you still here?...
still holding on?
...
google ralph cowley
"Ralph Cawley (1720 – 31 August 1777) was an English clergyman and Oxford academic. [...] He was ordained deacon on 20 May 1744 and priest on 8 June 1745."
Ralph here was a hoLY MAN
HE WAS LITERALLY ORDAINED AND A PRIEST
You CANNOT TELL ME this is not a real life example of Aziraphale and Crowley watching history from the sidelines like WHAT IS THAT???
AM I JUST ON SOMETHING
HELP

I was explaining to my dad why Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen were a perfectly cast pairing to enhance the cinematography of Pride and Prejudice (2005).

Pride and prejudice is just a cautionary tale about going to a party in a bad mood.
