whats your wildest story from your time on the continent?

C’mon man, my wife reads here.

[mr-rochester-of-thornfield]

Jane eyre was 19 while working for mr Rochester, she should have been experiencing crippling mental illness and a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs

[mr-rochester-of-thornfield]

only knowing of edward rochester as a regency-era romantic hero when you’re used to what that means in austen books then actually reading jane eyre has been a hell of an experience today. finding out for the first time that this man is bonkers, like absolutely batshit. he talks like he’s arguing with his own reflection in a puddle

[mr-rochester-of-thornfield]

why does nobody mention Mr. Rochester’s most redeeming quality: his cute dog named Pilot

Jane has a great day every day, but Edward only has a great day if Jane looks at him.

Have you read your description in Wide Sargasso Sea? I feel it's slander against you.

I have not yet had the pleasure. Anything awful you read about me is probably true.

[mr-rochester-of-thornfield]

Evening, sir. How's Pilot doing? He still around?

Indeed, he is well and still as the young people say, a “chonker”.

Have you just become Jane’s personal chair? She seems to enjoy sitting on your lap a lot 🪑

Jane: “I want to buy more chairs to sit in because most of your chairs burned down in a fire.”

Mr Rochester: “But we have chair at home.”

The chair at home: *is his lap*

sir what is your favourite animal

I am rather partial to cats.

They are so dignified. So calm. So lithe and elegant. So self-assured. Everything I wish I was.

What is your happiest memory with your beloved Jane?

Every memory is precious, but the time when I literally fell down at her feet after slipping on ice and eating mud comes to mind.

Jane Eyre (2006)

[mr-rochester-of-thornfield]

Your eye aught might be a bit weak but have you ever taught Jane how to dance. Do YOU even dance in parties?

I am usually too busy singing at the top of my lungs to participate in dancing.

[mr-rochester-of-thornfield]

I am the broken clock that is right twice daily.

when mr. rochester dressed in drag as an old fortune teller and elaborately pranked an entire party partly to get jane’s attention… when mr. rochester wrote, composed, and performed an entire song for jane eyre on the spot… when mr. rochester took in his former sugar baby’s bastard child despite her presence being a painful reminder to him of her mother, and then claimed not to love the child despite spoiling her with gifts… when mr. rochester sacrificed his life trying to save his wife even though she tried to kill him multiple times and he still refused to put her in ferndean manor because he didn’t think it was good enough for her (making it meaningful that he ends up living there himself when he’s disabled, showing he prized himself less than her)… when mr. rochester took jane out for an extravagant all-day shopping trip and was way more enthusiastic about it than her… when mr. rochester shared a god-given telepathic connection with jane which induced them to reunite… when mr. rochester decided to wear the pearl necklace he originally bought for jane for forever… when mr. rochester made up a story for little adèle about jane being an elf magically sent to him from the moon… when mr. rochester pulled jane onto his horse… when mr. rochester…

[mr-rochester-of-thornfield]

Hello, sir!

Does Jane still have that special pearl necklace you gave her?

Indeed she does! My kind little fairy lets me borrow it to wear now and again, when we must part for a day or two. Eddie

Do you have big fights with Jane? Who apologizes first?

Very occasionally, and not ever big fights since we were reunited. I apologise first, begging, sobbing, falling to my knees, crawling to her feet, etc.
