Okay so I've seen a couple of posts calling Percabeth Elizabeth and Darcy variants and YES, 100%. BUT, i need you to understand that Annabeth is Darcy and Percy is Elizabeth. Let me explain.

Annabeth is, in many ways, higher ranking among demigods than Percy. She has social standing, reputation, and a much more in depth understanding of the rules they are living by. So far, so Darcy, right? The parallels don't stop there.

Annabeth is initially against Percy, not because of him, but because of his father. They get off on the wrong foot, and Annabeth resents her own inclination to be friends with him, to some extent. Her fatal flaw is hubris and she honestly does know that she is better than many of her peers. She's also extremely kind and tends to try and shoulder the burdens on her own because she thinks that will protect people she cares about (in my head, Annabeth not telling Percy about the prophecy in the hope it will avoid some Oedipus-style self fulfillment = Darcy not telling Elizabeth about helping Lydia).

Now onto Percy. Percy is Elizabeth to the letter. He's the underdog, has a poor reputation, and a whole lot of sass for people he thinks are acting superior. He bristles at Annabeth to start with because she's blunt, and prideful, but ultimately sees her vulnerabilities too. He tends to be cynical thanks to his past experience, but he also believes in the goodness of people, just like Elizabeth. He's extremely contrary when Annabeth is concerned and his comfort blanket is called denial. Seeing the similarities?

Then, they finally get past all the miscommunication and become the best friends + power couple we know and love thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

There's a scene in Pride and Prejudice that I'm relieved rarely makes it to adaptation because my secondhand embarrassment can't take it – it's where Elizabeth is staying at Netherfield to look after Jane and Mr Darcy randomly asks if she wants to dance a reel, but she doesn't reply so he asks again, and she's just like "no I heard you the first time, I just thought you were taking the piss" 💀

Mr. Darcy is my little meow meow

nothing will ever live up to the moment when after devouring over 250 pages deeply immersed in the characters and story and after the emotions of the proposal I reached the very end of the letter that turns everything on its head only to find out that Mr Darcy's name is Fitzwilliam

Apparently Lady Bathurst is redecorating her ballroom in the French style. A little unpatriotic, don't you think?

Keira Knightley: [Matthew MacFadyen] is just such a nice man. I think that helps [when someone is your love interest]. I think that helps when you meet somebody [who will potentially be your cast mate] and you think, "Well, you're just lovely." And is also such an amazing actor. So, what fun. Rosamund Pike: And when he can completely mask the niceness and put it under the arrogance and standoffish-ness that Darcy appears to have. And then [you] melt. Oh, so good.

i love how a big part of elizabeth bennet’s character is that she is obviously very smart, she is very observant, but she can easily be led astray by her preconceived notions, by things that she already has convinced herself of believing. and this is most obvious by her not seeing mr. darcy’s proposal coming at all, because girl that man was openly flirting with her. i don’t think this is shown a lot in the movie or the tv series, but he keeps teasing her, answering her witty remarks with a smile, the whole “i am not afraid of you” thing. like, charlotte saw it coming, colonel fitzwilliam definitely saw it coming, the gardiners knew as soon as they saw them together later in the book, mr darcy was not as subtle as he thought he was being

seriously, god bless you jane austen for giving us this romance of two fucking idiots constantly misunderstanding each other’s actions and intentions. god bless you for giving us mr “aha so like what do you think of your friend’s marriage? you wouldn’t mind living away from your family when you marry right? oh, no reason, no reason, just a random thought. and what do you think of rosings, you know if hypothetically you were ever a guest there, no, no reason hehe”, and miss “i wonder why i keep coming across mr darcy during my walks, i even made sure to tell him that this is where i usually take my walks so he can avoid me but we are still??? running into each other???? and he keeps asking me all these strange questions too, what a weirdo”

just, two idiots that were made for each other
