The second episode of Dickinson Season 2 felt like everything hit its mark, with so much force; it not only worked, but it was invigorating and inspiring. So many threads came together, and the tapestry they wove was brilliant. This was what was missing from the season premiere.
The episode’s poem, its conceit, and its larger story all aligned in perfect harmony (as in Season 1’s second episode); fame is indeed a fickle food, one best not consumed. Emily’s own mounting tendencies towards solitude and obscurity (helped along, of course, by Edward and Austin), nudged further by Mrs Dickinson’s glory-seeking on the cattle show baking contest circuit, finally meet the stark warning from Nobody, whose purpose we now divine.
It’s fascinating how Sue is being set up as the one in opposition to both of her Dickinsons. She’s so far now from the girl Emily reminded us (and Sue) about in the series premiere, the one who jointly promised never to get married and to write poems together. Now Sue seeks fame for Emily, and while there is at least a small portion of that quest that is legitimately for Emily’s benefit, that her brilliance could change the world and must be known, there is another, more bourgeois aspect: Sue’s own fame, status, and standing is elevated by being the one to “discover,” or reveal, Emily. Lavinia’a calling Sue an “influencer” the prior episode is spot-on.
Sue also stands in contrast to her husband; while Austin is not trying to reign in her wild spending, it’s also clear that he sees much of it as superficial, as his comment about the money he gave Henry going towards something worthwhile reveals. And, of course, the renewed issue of a child. Austin’s point to Edward earlier in the episode about Sue not being able to spend before rings true, but at the same time I wonder whether she is also trying to fill an emptiness in her heart, or her life, with things. Sue’s “take care of me” comment after Austin raises the question of children makes me wonder how attentive he is to her, how present he is in their marriage. Because unlike Mrs Dickinson, who was raised to see the traditional housewife role, and the distance between husband and wife, as not only acceptable but also desired, Sue grew up with Emily…
(In that same vein, the proto-feminist/suffragette Lavinia once again this episode serves as a billboard for the changing values of the younger generation and the nation—as well as, also once again, a mirror for our times.)
I wonder whether they’re setting up an affair between Austin and Jane? We know in Season 1 Jane was trying to land Austin, though it was never clear whether that was because she truly was interested in/attracted to him or because her father declared he was the most eligible match for her. But here, and beyond the conversation about Henry’s payment—and the joint disappearance that followed—Jane and Austin have similar interests and run in similar circles—the Shakespeare club, and even the sewing/suffragette circle, where Jane and her minions participate with Austin’s sisters. (Sue, by contrast, despite being Emily’s best friend and sharing most of those interests and beliefs, never was shown at either. Presumably because of her orphan status, Sue could not be a “young woman of leisure” like the others—but now she is making up for lost time, becoming a society figure the likes of which Jane could only dream. Sue’s usurpation of Jane’s society role begat Jane’s usurpation of Sue’s role in Austin’s marriage?)
I do wonder about Bowles—although he at least is quick to throw up a stop sign for Emily’s potential attraction to him. But he is also seeking to raise or cement his stature as a person of importance by introducing the region to what’s new, and “discovering” an amazing female poet would be a massive coup. All of these various forces at play make me very sympathetic to the historical Dickinson’s apparent decision to remain unknown.
Emily’s live composing of the poem with Bowles was sublime (and it did not hurt that I felt kinship with the way she brought lines and verses into existence—though unlike a great like Dickinson, I have never done it live, for an audience). That scene…if the entire rest of the episode had been hot garbage, that scene would have lifted the episode to greatness, but it got to serve as a golden crown to an already stellar episode.
More of this, please! (I hope! 🤞)

Ride the Cyclone characters as BBC Ghosts Characters (based on vibes)
I hope there's someone else out there as obsessed with these two as I am! I have actual genuine reasons I think some of these are so alike but since this is a niche post already I've decided to keep it real brief here!
Ricky - Robin
Space is their coping mechanism of choice
Canonically poly
Can communicate with pets to save the day
Jane - Humphrey
Headless
Forgotten </3
Noel - Thomas
Sad romance poets
Pining over something unattainable and refusing to stop
Noel would be so disappointed in modern day France in the same way Thomas was disappointed by Italy
Ocean - Fanny
Things must be done their way or they will be upset
Very resentful of the others and frequently rude at the start but growing/grew to love the others for the rockstars they are
Ace/aro vibes (that's 100% just me projecting but oh well)
Constance - Kitty
Looks and acts like the sunshine one of the group - actually has a sad backstory that made me cry </3
Gets on with everyone else in the group
Mischa - Mike
Very much love their wives (well, fiancee for Mischa)
Often acts tough but is actually very sweet
Sidenote: the two moods being rage and passion has big Julian vibes. Literally nothing else about Mischa has a Julien vibe though. Just that.
Karnak - Alison
Therapist Mentor of the group
Interacts with the group even though they're dead

super random comparison, but recently i’ve been getting into the show jane the virgin, and the way that fandom talks about jane is exactly the same way the gossip girl fandom talks about dan and vanessa, and it’s lowkey making me crazy. like every other jtv post is “unpopular opinion, but does anyone else HATE jane villanueva? she’s such a judgmental hypocrite!!! yes the other characters commit actual crimes regularly and constantly treat other people like shit, but aT lEaSt ThEy OwN iT!!!1!!” like idk but the double standard here drives me insane - god forbid a “good” character has any actual flaws, ESPECIALLY if the flaw is judging people’s problematic faves lmao. idk i know like dan/vanessa and jane are obviously pretty different (save the whole writer thing), but the discourse about them is so similar i feel like if i just deleted the names in the posts about them no one would be able to tell the difference lol
Me? Getting involved in JTV discourse in 2022? It’s more likely than you think!
No, you’re so right anon! Actually, I think there are a lot of similarities between Dan and Jane especially. Like their judgmental nature and their outsider status to the wealthy worlds they have to enter and their grounded worlds with their families…and then yes of course they’re both the Writer and they see their lives as Narratives (although Jane and Blair share some traits with that too).
And then there’s not as much between Jane and Vanessa, but they’re both poor WOC which automatically puts them in a precarious position in fandom where they must be perfect otherwise they’re going to get absurd amounts of hate.
Also going back to Jane and Blair actually, I think part of it is that they were both in self insert ships with the Billionaire Dream Boyfriend the showrunner was in love with and the fandom woobified so anytime Jane didn’t coodle Rafael it became “Jane’s not good enough for Rafael anymore, she doesn’t deserve him, she’s treating him like garbage” while Rafael could rarely do wrong.

The thing is, people really like to watch an actor or a director evolve. It’s not that they dislike it when artists do the same thing very well over and over again, but to have crossed so many spectrums in one’s career, and to have physical evidence of an artist’s evolution on the screen, is really interesting. They write books about how Humphrey Bogart went from screen heavy to romantic anti-hero to grizzled, haunted character, proto-Method actor. There are documentaries about how Jane Fonda went from bubbly sixties rom com princess to vilified radical to beloved sassy grandma. There are going to be retrospectives on how Spielberg went from blockbuster wunderkind to serious filmmaker to an sleek genre chameleon.
It just makes you love movies, gosh darn it.

Life Imitates Art
Ever wonder what Michaelmas is? Like Jane Austen or Humphrey Bogart? No? Read this anyway.
View On WordPress
In the Gregorian calendar, today is Thursday, September 29, 2022. In the Christian liturgical calendar, today is Michaelmas, the feast day for the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Rafael (and sometimes Uriel, but that’s another topic for another day). On my calendar, today is Pride and Prejudice Day. I’m referring, naturally, to Jane Austen’s classic novel. It opens on a late summer day at the…

Jane Darwell and Humphrey Bogart are mother and son in a screencap from All Through the Night (1942). Jane was born in Palmyra, Missouri, and had 211 acting credits from a 1913 short to Mary Poppins (1964). She has 11 entries among my best 1,001 movies, including four for John Ford, most notably her Oscar winner for his The Grapes of Wrath. This is her third honorable mention, after The Scarlet Empress, and Mary Poppins.

A SHORT HISTORY OF FLOWERS: The stories that make our gardens by Advolly Richmond (Author) & Sarah Jane Humphrey (Illustrator)
Garden and social historian Advolly Richmond (of Gardener’s World) unravels the surprising histories of 60 flowers that shape our gardens.
Have you ever wondered where your favourite garden flowers came from? Where their names derived? Or why some cultivars go in and out of favour? Every flower in your herbaceous border has a story, and in this book Advolly Richmond takes you on a tour of the most intriguing, surprising and enriching ones.
Tales of exploration, everlasting love and bravery bring these beautiful flowers to life. Advolly has dug down to uncover the royalty, scholars, pioneers and a smuggler or two that have all played a part in discovering and cultivating some of our favourite species. From the lavish and exotic bougainvillea, found by an 18th century female botanist in disguise to the humble but majestic snowdrop casting a spell and causing a frenzy. These plants have played pivotal roles in our societies, from boom to bust economies, promises of riches and making fashion statements. These unassuming blooms hold treasure troves of stories.   With specially commissioned artworks from award-winning botanical illustrator Sarah Jane Humphrey, which sumptuously bring each flower to life – this is a beautiful compendium for every garden lover.
Subject Area: Gardening, House & Home, History, Biography & Culture
