a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

[ID: Seven screencaps from Taskmaster. Greg Davies says firmly, "I am a man of my word, and I told you you would all get an opportunity to see me take my trousers and pants down, but I didn't say when or where. I'm going to meet you all individually..." Mathew Baynton says delightedly, "Individually!" Greg concludes, "...at a time and place of my choosing." End ID.]

bertie hyphenates his surname when he gets married so he can keep using "we woosters fought at agincourt" but also start saying "you know the jeeves name is synonymous with intelligence" so hes unstoppable in arguments
jeeves obviously still wins most arguments they have but bertram wilberforce jeeves-wooster does try

Today I was trying to chat up this girl standing with her friend at a lesbian bar and said “oh are you two together?” meaning were you friends before being next to each other at this bar and one turns to the other and goes with all the venom of a black mamba snake “I don’t know Cara, are we?” and I was like you know what? not my table

i feel very stongly that elizabeth 100% would have sworn darcy to eternal secrecy about the fact that he had already proposed once unsuccessfully when she accepted, solely bc you just KNOW mr collins' smug ass would be like, "oh ho ho! huh! so apparently it IS the usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept when he applies for their favor! hm! interesting!" and then she would be honor-bound to leap over lady catherine's dining table and strangle him

I'm kind of obsessed with the way sheep are handled. So efficiently. It always looks kind of unpleasant at first and then you notice the sheep are fine with it. They're always being flipped upside down and rolled down a chute or some shit. A shepherd will be tossing that thang in the air and spinning it like pizza dough & the sheep just lets it happen

Jane Austen scholar folks/Regency era historians:
In light of that whole Bleak House exercise, I'm finally asking this question I've always had, but never been able to successfully use a search engine to answer. I've read this book at least a hundred times and I've studied history (but not any deep dives on England at that period) and I really wish I knew what was going on here.
Right at the beginning of Pride & Prejudice, Mrs. Bennet kicks things off by asking her husband if he's heard that "Netherfield Hall is let at last?"
Which is to say, that it's been rented.
So my question is: who is Mr. Bingley's landlord?
Was there a system of untitled gentry gaining enough wealth to be allowed to rent a great house? Was Mr. Bingley true bourgeoisie and they just let anyone with enough cash get away with it? Or did the Bingleys become unmoored from any kind of ancestral home by being in a 'younger sons of younger sons' kind of situation?
I really have no clue and would love to learn.
