Inspirational female representation is not flawless girl-bosses. It never has been. That's another one-dimensional unattainable version of perfection same as the 50s Housewife was. We can't all be Aunt Bea or Black Widow those are caricatures of what it means to be a woman and only highlight limited aspects of femininity without character growth or nuance. Assassin is no more of a personality than cook is.
Inspirational female representation in media is women who make mistakes and are still given value even after blundering. It's Anne falling off a roof. It's Evie wrecking a whole library and nearly ending the world. It's Eowyn in a suicidal depression riding into battle with the goal of dying. It's Lizzie believing everything Wickham says about Darcy.
It's Anne learning that you shouldn't fall for a bully's bait and pride has its place and it should be kept there. It's Evie learning that maybe don't assume something is safe because sometimes it definitely isn't, whether that's ladders or big black books. It's Eowyn learning to love herself and that she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. It's Lizzie learning not to jump to conclusions about people's character.
It's the space for mistakes and growth. These characters are loved and lovable before, during, and after their mistakes. While they learn from the mistakes they make there is no pressure that from that moment on they are perfect and do nothing else less than perfectly (the mummy sequel doesn't exist here because they made Evie into a cardboard cutout of who she had been in the first film and stripped her depth and warmth). These women are allowed to fail, learn, and grow. They are also some of the most resonant characters in the history of women in literature and film. Who here consumed the media where they are represented and didn't feel akin to at least one of them in some way?

Do you think there is an adaptation that sufficiently shows how much of a crush Elizabeth has on Wickham at the beginning?
She wants to dance half the night with him at Netherfield, Mrs. Gardiner actually warns her marriage would be imprudent because they are so often together, and she calls him "her former favourite".
I almost want a scene where she's writing "Mrs. Wickham" in her diary or some significant heart eyes...
I bring this up because a lot of people argue to me that Elizabeth never liked Wickham (wut?) when it's very clear in the novel that she did. It wasn't love, but she was definitely crushing hard.

I spent today quickly adding to Wickham's reference sheet for Art Fight! It's super scruffy but I left everything to the last minute again so what can ya do.
Their AF page description and the sheet itself give a bunch of info, so I'll throw my rambling under a cut for brevity.
Wickham is a physician-turned-surgeon-turned-back-alley doctor on a last-ditch mission to cure the degenerative disease that killed their mother - which now threatens to kill them as well.
As their health began to dwindle, their desperation to live attracted the attention of a strange figure who claimed to be able to offer Wickham immortality... for a price.
They have lived happily in the Constant ever since. They do not plan on leaving until they find the cure to the illness that took everything away from them, and have aspirations to push the human body to perfection and conquer death itself.
Currently however they are just a grumpy nuisance.
Their playstyle revolves around managing the effects of their worsening sickness with medicines, and providing boons via the elixirs they craft and test on their fellow Survivors.

Forty-eight hours ago, he could not have imagined himself agreeing to break bread with the brother who had abandoned him.
But they have been a most enlightening forty-eight hours.

My headcanon is that Darcy and Wickham were good friends when they were little. Serious adult Darcy is drawn to playful people; it makes sense that as a child he liked pretty, vibrant Wickham.
But then — something. Darcy might’ve become aware of class structure and started backing out of the friendship: coldly, with no finesse, in a way that hurt Wickham. They might’ve turned on each other in a fight for Darcy’s father’s attention. Or Wickham realized he’d be relegated to a comparatively tiny house with a comparatively tiny income, and done any number of things in jealousy and resentment.

Okay so is Wickham awful ? yes! But as he is up against Willougby who is equally awful if not more so I would like to add some reasons why George Wickham is actually hotter than John Willoughby (2008)! First both may be thought of as bad people but great company yet only one wears regimentals! Wickham is friends with Denny! And we all love Denny! (And I have it in my head that in persasion it's implied Willoughby and Mr Elliot are in the same set but that may be wrong). One comes back and is all beggy and self-pitying but Wickham comes back and is shamelessly jolly - still shamelessly tries to flirt with his wife's sister- and to me personally if you are going to be a cad - be a cadddd - trying to justify it makes it worse - Wickham embraces being a bad boy and deep down we love it! So please I am begging the people save the one true Jane Austen F*ck Boy! SAVE GEORGE WICKHAM!!
As they both ran off with 15 year olds I will allow some light Willoughby bashing here but don't make it a habit people!
Willoughby (2008) Vs Wickham (1995)

The Wickham Fund
According to Darcy, he paid Wickham 3000 pounds instead of his inheritance.
According to Mrs. Gardiner, Darcy paid approximately 3000 pounds to secure the wedding of Wickham and Lydia.
Obvious Conclusion: Mr. Darcy has a 3k Emergency Fund that he keeps having to use for Wickham.
