When Achilles said "And though the dead forget the dead in the house of Hades, even there I shall still remember my beloved companion" and Lemony Snicket said "I will love you as misfortune loves orphan, as fire loves innocence and justice loves to stil and watch while everything goes wrong" And when Franz Kafka said "Love is that you are the knife which i plunge into my self" And when Cardan Greenbriar said "My heart is a shabby, worm eaten, scabrous thing. But it is yours"

How much love and how much lust made Darcy propose to Elizabeth in your opinion?

Because my headcanon is that Darcy is somewhat demisexual and feeling something sexual was (possibly) new to him and it convinced him to propose. I've seen some people see Darcy as a bad boy and lust is almost completely what convinced him to propose and on the other hand there are others who see him completely head over heels in love with Elizabeth.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. (And sorry if you have answered something like this before.)

Thanks for the question!

If we head back to the very beginning of Darcy liking Elizabeth, we learn it's not about "fine eyes" but "rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes." and "in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness." Darcy did totally resist Elizabeth's beauty before he knew her, it was her intelligence and playfulness that caught him. However, as often happens in Austen, this attraction to her mental attributes leads to appreciation of the physical, "he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing"

I also read Darcy as demisexual. However, by Hunsford he is clearly intensely experiencing both lust and love. His proposal is about overwhelming desire:

“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” (don't know why I'm quoting this, ya'll know it by heart I'm sure)

Now as for the ratio, that's hard to tease out. Elizabeth assumes that this is a fleeting feeling (ie lust), which will quickly fade away. That is clearly not the case, especially since we know he's been attracted to her since the last fall. Romantic love is for most people intertwined with lust, at least in my experience as someone who isn't asexual. It means you want to talk to them forever but also tear off all their clothes.

I do think he's seriously in love with Elizabeth, even if he doesn't have a completely healthy regard for her (disdain for her family isn't a great look). I don't think it fits with his character at all to propose marriage based on lust. He thinks very seriously about marriage and he's aware that it will last forever. He has carefully considered the pros and cons, he's not acting purely from emotion. The fact that he stays longer in Kent and doesn't propose till the end of his visit speaks to how much he's thought about it. That's not lust-based irrationality.

And the fact that he listened and changed! That's not lust or a fleeting feeling. That is actual love and respect. If it had been lust alone, it probably would have been fully extinguished by his mortification.

So the answer is... 50/50?

if someone asked me “what are the signs of love?” i would have said without hesitation, it’s the familiarity and the removal of cost, and to find yourself not having to lie, and the embarrassment removed between you two, and see yourself acting in your nature without trying to be something else so she likes you, and that you two keep silent and the silence gets delicious, and that one of you two talk and listening gets delicious.

The problem with not knowing what love means, is that every time you ask, people just plead with you not to attack them?

I wonder if Aziraphale knew that Crowley is in love with him. Sometimes it looks like he does (I didn’t think you were his style *eyebrow/smitten).

But is it an unconscious inkling, buried under denial?

Or does he know and can’t bring himself to do anything about it because he still believes it’s forbidden by Heaven and that he must follow those rules because loving a demon would be wrong?

Or does he believe that a demon couldn’t love or that Crowley couldn’t possibly romantically love HIM?

The better question is, which of those options provide the most angst? 😭💔

I feel a bit uneasy when people say they love me, especially romantically. It's hard to believe because I know how messed up I am beyond repair. I'm good at giving but not so great at taking, probably because I never learned how. When someone professes love, I find myself questioning what exactly they love. Is it genuinely me or some made-up version? Do they love who I am or just the nice side of me? Is it authentic love or just attraction? Do they love me, or the concept of me? Is it about the things they can't have? Is it by accident or are there conditions? Do they love the real me or just the image I project? It's a puzzle to unravel.
