But seriously, imagine coming home from almost a decade at sea to find your sister has moved into your ex's house and you just have to go and visit and act like everything is normal.

Twilight remake where everything is the same except Bella is played by Kristen Stuart as a full on dyke a la her character in Love Lies Bleeding, Edward is played by Robert Pattinson but he's doing the Heron's voice from The Boy and the Heron, and Jacob is played by Taylor Lautner's wife, Taylor Lautner.

btw I’m obsessed with the way the 1995 persuasion handles Anne and Wentworth’s proposal scene because the whole circus randomly goes by and yet it’s like they’re the only two people in the world. they create for each other an oasis of peace and quiet and understanding. they are each other’s safe harbor.

theres just something so deeply tender about the relationship between Emma Woodhouse and her father. like Jane Austen really broke out the big guns to depict such a tender, sensitive relationship between a father and a daughter without losing the flaws of the characters or making something unbearably sweet.

when Jane Austen decided to write Emma one of her main goals was to create an unlikeable heroine and honestly? she does do a pretty good job of that. Emma does behave poorly throughout the novel, turning people into her little playthings, letting her insecurities dictate her behaviour and of course the infamous Miss Bates insult.

but through her love of her father Emma never becomes someone we stop rooting for. Jane Austen shows how Emma isnt some irredeemable, selfish person. shes lonely and misguided but shes also full of love and care for the person who depends on her competely.

shes never seen the sea! she declares she will never marry because she cant leave him! she trys to reject Mr Knightley because she wont even move to the estate next door without her father!

and she never resents him!

Emma loves and cares for her Father, she might laugh at some of his quirks and hurt others feeling but she never wishes to leave him just to make her life easier. i think it shows Jane Austen at her most tender and kind, even in trying to create a flawed heroine who can act in a genuinely unpleasant way towards others Austen also creates one of the most heart-warming parent/child relationships in all of her books.

idk i can never truly dislike Emma Woodhouse because we see so clearly how she is not a bad person at heart. she makes mistakes and she regrets them and she puts her fathers happiness above her own always! she means a lot to me!

Timothy Chalamet passed away last night after choking on a single frozen unchewed green pea. Family members confirmed his passing in a statement to the media "it's how he liked to eat them"

having a crush is the most annoying thing in the whole world. what do you mean my whole day is ruined because i thought about some random person? what do you mean i have to imagine scenarios where i actually talk to them just to go to sleep?

can i have my life back please????? this is just so irritating! i would like to go back to my normal life before i had such a severe case of yearning and longing and yearning and longing!

The more I think about it, the more I think that Persuasion has my favorite premise of all of Jane Austen's novels

Anne Elliot as a character speaks to my soul. She feels tremendous guilt for a decision she made eight years ago. Her life is lonely, as she doesn't really have anyone she can truly confide in despite being surrounded by people. So she swallows her pain, the yearning she feels deep in her soul, and vows that if nothing else at least she'll be helpful.

And of course she is reunited with Frederick Wentworth (the one that got away) who seems to hate her now, and she just keeps going. She keeps being kind and supporting her loved ones while slowly carving out a life for herself. There's something about her classic heroism that just feels so attainable. I don't have Elizabeth Bennett's wit, or Jane Bennett's unwavering belief in the goodness of everyone, or even Elinor's constant composure. But I can be like Anne and just keep moving forward attempting to be helpful

Of course it all works out in the end, and Anne is finally surrounded by people who truly appreciate her, even if she had to wait an extra eight years. Others have observed the fairy tale quality of the ending, and perhaps that's why it speaks to me. The idea that if you just keep doing your best and being kind, you'll eventually find happiness

Yeah I go off about why Wentworth is my favorite Austen hero but I don’t deny the fact that he’s not a great person when he first returns.

What really bothers me about pre-letter Wentworth is when he casually mentioned he nearly died on a half-usable ship in the middle of the ocean in front of Anne to show how heartbroken he was and “boo hoo woe is me you hurt me I wanted to die” but he doesn’t realize that what he went through was probably Anne’s worst nightmare, and he acts like she doesn’t care.

Being a sailor then was most likely one of the most dangerous jobs you could get, and Anne was probably praying day and night that he would stay alive, because SHE CARED. And that’s what takes so much for him to realize.

Yes, I like Wentworth, but I kinda want to whap him with a newspaper a couple of times. But I think that’s the thing with Austen heroes- they’re not all perfect. Everyone harps about Darcy but he was a prideful jerk that insulted Lizzy on multiple occasions.

Pride and Prejudice is actually hilarious cause Elizabeth goes to the Netherfield Ball with the purpose of finding out what Darcy's closest friends think about Wickham, and when they all tell her Darcy is a really nice guy and Wickham is a liar she literally goes "Mr. Darcy has somehow managed to trick all of his closest friends into thinking he's a good person but I know something about him that they don't (that he sucks)"
