I always see on Facebook mentioning how Mr Knightley "groomed" Emma...

On the joys of the internet...

Grooming (as a form of abuse), like gaslighting, has a very specific definition. And as gaslighting doesn't just mean "you lied to me", grooming doesn't mean, "person who is older dates someone younger and I feel squicky about it." Even most Pygmalion plots (think My Fair Lady) actually aren't grooming because... the woman is an adult!*

We'll use this Wikipedia definition: Child grooming refers to actions or behaviors used to establish an emotional connection with a child under the age of consent, and sometimes the child's family, to lower the child's inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse.

Now let's review the facts of the case, while Mr. Knightley does have an emotional connection with Emma, he is not doing anything problematic with it. He mostly just helps her manage Mr. Woodhouse and the relationship between Mr. Woodhouse, John, and Isabella. He also tries to use their emotional connection to help Emma become a better person. Somewhat Pygmalion? Sure. Illegal even in the modern day? Nope!

But more importantly, and this is assuming that Mr. Knightley was trying to build himself a wife WHICH HE WASN'T, if Mr. Knightley had wanted a vulnerable Emma (the point of grooming), he would have married her years earlier (or at least tried, Mr. Woodhouse would have a say obviously). He didn't! He waits for her to not only be way past the age of consent (14 at the time) but twenty-one years old, the legal age of adulthood at the time.

So no, Emma and Mr. Knightley's relationship may feel a bit odd to modern day readers, but it is not grooming in any way.

Related posts because this has come up before.

Also, last point: Given how little Emma actually listens to what Knightley says, it's barely even Pygmalion.

*There can be an imbalance of power in a relationship where one party is older or richer, but that also exists in the Emma/Harriet relationship. An imbalance of power ≠ grooming, though it should be thought about carefully.

so who is going to transfer from the agency to the port mafia

okok i thoughts they are not in any way coherent but im trying my best

first i think it depends on how the ada n pm are going about choosing.. is it just mori?? do the executives have a say??? unlikely but are other members like aku or the black lizard involved?? or is the agency choosing someone to send off?? is it fukuzawas choice?????

i may be biased as a tanizaki hater but i honestly hate the theory that it's going to be him bc the black lizard said he had a useful ability for assassination. he might have interesting interactions with the rest of the pm?? him n aku bc of their dynamic in beast is so!!

i doubt its going to be yosano, dazai, or kyouka. yh sure the angst is angsting but narratively it would feel so boring. nobody in the agency would let it be yosano so she's definitely out.

kyouka has potential to be interesting (especially since she has no canon interactions with gin((besides wan ithink???) n verlaine) but it would end up defeating the point of her whole arc. like ur telling me she put in all that work to leave the pm n accept her place in the light only to go back to the pm???? i can't see verlaine being happy about her rejoining either 0_o

dazai....... -_- again i think it would make a large part of his development redundant. don't even get me started on "dazais gonna join the pm n take it down from inside" IMM FOAMING AT THE MOUTH RN/NEG SO NEG

what would be the point in anyone trying to dismantle the pm??+?!!? its not like they're an active antagonist they haven't been since the guild showed up. there's no purpose in destroying the alliance NOT TO MENTION IT WOULD BE SO MF BORING IF THAT HAPPENDED WHAT we've seen the pm as enemies already then it stopped we're done just say you want it for the angst n leave

you don't tell him specifically you're going into a lingerie boutique, because you want to truly savor his reaction once he realizes what you're there to do. steve wouldn't know what to do with himself, especially when you tell him to pick out what he likes best.

EEEEEE and he’s trying not to look at things too closely because he’s nervous but he’d be so overwhelmed with the options that he’d have to walk around the whole store

when he’d see something he liked—something he could see you in—he’d always touch it to make sure it’s not scratchy or an uncomfortable material because he’s sweet and cares like that <3 you tell him to pick out one set and he does, but you go back without him and buy things you know he liked but didn’t chose to surprise him with later :)
