"Awe really? But my bad attitude and lack of respect missed you," she pouted sarcastically, resisting the urge to eye-roll. Gwen refused to call Elizabeth her mother since she was about 18, figuring she didn't deserve it given their history. It took no time at all for Elizabeth to fire back, ever the wise alpha that he was. Elizabeth knew that Gwen's full name got under her skin. No one called her that. Even when she became a B-List celebrity she refused to go by anything other than Gwen. Hearing her full name come out of her mother's stern voice sent a chill up Gwen's spine, bringing her back to a lifetime of discipline and corrections. "Figured you weren't. I mean, you haven't so far so why stop now?" she bit back. "Checking in on your little golden boy? And not the daughter you've been lying to?"

She wasn't surprised to see the utter look of disdain on Gwendolyn's expression but she barely flinched, she had seen plenty of it in her adolescence. It was clear that there had always been a rift between the mother and daughter. She belonged to her husband, Gwen was his miracle child and so it was easy for to step aside and let him spoil her. Of course Gwen always thought this was a slight against her, she couldn't handle being so doted on and loved so it must have been Elizabeth's fault.

"Well I wasn't reminicing about your bad attitude and lack of respect, Gwendolyn," she answered, crossing her arms over her chest. The girl was over a century old and still acted like a bratty pup and she wondered why Elizabeth didn't see a leader in her, she was too self obsessed and narcissitic to put others first. "I'm not even back for you, how self absorbed are you to think everything is about you?"

I just want to point out that it's a popular mistranslation what Lizzy said in this chapter. It's not that Lizzy thinks she would've "said" something that cruel, but that she would've "thought" it.

The left is the fan translation and the right is the official yen press translation.

Does the difference really matter? Perhaps not but I find it telling.

On one hand, how empathetic Lizzy is to consider another reality where she would have simply thought something like this, and how cruel it would have been to o!Ciel, and sympathized with him enough she understood why he came back the way he did.

And on the other hand, how deranged the fandom was to give her so much hell and back over what was basically thought crimes.

Oh...it would have to be the right person for them before I let them get married. As for a grandfather...that may have crossed my mind one or twice but I am not rushing either of them. Usually for me it is why I am picking certain players even if they haven't done so great with their club.

Before you know it, your kids might end up getting married and you'll be a grandfather. Is that something you'd want eventually? to be a grandfather? Oh, you're lucky. Even if I promote a project that doesn't have anything to do with Marvel, I always get asked about Wanda. I don't mind it, but some questions tend to be a little repetitive.

What if I told you my pseudonym was Peter Parker? Too on the nose? Probably. But no one's going to suspect that Andrew Garfield is that ridiculous... are they? Now I'm rethinking my strategies. Lizzie Olsen herself embarrassed to flirt? There's a take I didn't consider, although I guess it speaks to both of us being some kind of awkward. I know what you mean, it's a tough world out there and it's just easier to turn inward, sometimes. I've done it a lot over the years, and probably still. It feels lucky to take a break from it all, although I am eager to get back into a role sooner rather than later. Oh, I love Vancouver, but I don't love that your personal life is any kind of dumpster fire. We mightn't know each other that well, but if you ever need a sounding board, I'm here. Please do. I'll be waiting.

That's what happens when you're successful the way that you are. But that also makes sense, I'm sure the Uber Eats folks are always happy to deliver whatever "Andrew G." is craving. Unless you use a pseudonym, which might be smart. I'd prefer to leave the baristas without me flirting back in fear of embarrassing myself. Putting myself back on the market seems like an idea that'll make me nauseous. Enjoying life in the in-between sounds like what we all wish to achiever. I just touched down in Vancouver to start shooting a film, glad to get my mind off of the dumpster fire that is my personal life. And the second I hear about the fate of our film, I'll let you know.

Speaking of the social context of P&P and Austen in general, and also just literature of that era, I'm always interested in how things like precisely formulated hierarchies of precedence and tables of ranked social classes interact with the more complex and nuanced details of class-based status and consequence on a pragmatic day-to-day level. I remembered reading a social historian discussing the pragmatics of class wrt eighteenth-century English life many years ago and finally tracked down the source:

"In spite of the number of people who got their living from manufacture or trade, fundamentally it was a society in which the ownership of land alone conveyed social prestige and full political rights. ... The apex of this society was the nobility. In the eyes of the Law only members of the House of Lords, the peerage in the strictest use of the word, were a class apart, enjoying special privileges and composing one of the estates of the realm. Their families were commoners: even the eldest sons of peers could sit in the House of Commons. It was therefore in the social rather than in the legal sense of the word that English society was a class society. Before the law all English people except the peers were in theory equal. Legal concept and social practice were, however, very different. When men spoke of the nobility, they meant the sons and daughters, the brothers and sisters, the uncles and aunts and cousins of the peers. They were an extremely influential and wealthy group.

"The peers and their near relations almost monopolized high political office. From these great families came the wealthiest Church dignitaries, the higher ranks in the army and navy. Many of them found a career in law; some even did not disdain the money to be made in trade. What gave this class its particular importance in the political life of the day was the way in which it was organized on a basis of family and connection ... in eighteenth-century politics men rarely acted as isolated individuals. A man came into Parliament supported by his friends and relations who expected, in return for this support, that he would further their interests to the extent of his parliamentary influence.

"Next in both political and social importance came the gentry. Again it is not easy to define exactly who were covered by this term. The Law knew nothing of gentle birth but Society recognized it. Like the nobility this group too was as a class closely connected with land. Indeed, the border line between the two classes is at times almost impossible to define ... Often these men are described as the squirearchy, this term being used to cover the major landowning families in every county who were not connected by birth with the aristocracy. Between them and the local nobility there was often considerable jealousy. The country gentleman considered himself well qualified to manage the affairs of his county without aristocratic interference.

"...The next great layer in society is perhaps best described the contemporary term 'the Middling Sort'. As with all eighteenth-century groups it is difficult to draw a clear line of demarcation between them and their social superiors and inferiors. No economic line is possible, for a man with no pretensions to gentility might well be more prosperous than many a small squire. There was even on the fringe between the two classes some overlapping of activities ... The ambitious upstart who bought an estate and spent his income as a gentleman, might be either cold-shouldered by his better-born neighbours or treated by them with a certain contemptuous politeness. If however his daughters were presentable and well dowered, and if his sons received the education considered suitable for gentlemen, the next generation would see the obliteration of whatever distinction still remained. The solid mass of the middling sort had however no such aspirations, or considered them beyond their reach.

"...This term [the poor] was widely used to designate the great mass of the manual workers. Within their ranks differences of income and of outlook were as varied as those that characterized the middle class. Once again the line of demarcation is hard to draw..."

—Dorothy Marshall, Eighteenth Century England (29-34)

(There's plenty more interesting information in the full chapter, especially regarding "the poor," and the chapter itself is contracted from a lengthier version published earlier.)

Stop, you're too good to me. You seriously know how to lift someone's spirits. Oh, absolutely, I'm surrounded by amazing women who are also mothers and are going through similar situations. It makes me feel less alone. You don't want to have kids? I used to say the same thing, now look at me with 2. Yess! I do remember the character. I'm so far behind, I can't believe I didn't know about this show. I need to see it ASAP. Also, I can look at that gorgeous face of yours. Perfect! Maybe sometime this weekend?

I mean Id do anything for you, dying on a stick included really. I mean thats a realist thought though, no one blame you for slipping in the feeling of it but I bet it helps to know you arent alone. Obviously you are being a very fair and understanding mom, this isnt also why I should not have kids cause I would be like you are coming on the road. Who knows maybe I wont be like that but definitely a fear id be. But then again it's understandable none of like to travel too much. Yeah you remember the character Elsbeth? It focuses on her. I would be so down for that

Nico's near-death experience endows him with powers and now he has to be a Savior which means he has to fight phantoms to keep people safe which would be a doable job, BUT that's not the only task of a Savior. He also has to uphold the integrity of the Savior System (ugh),Do good deeds and report them to his supervisor (double ugh), train his Lumen (dead eyed little thing doesn't like to listen to him so...ugh again!) and last but definitely not least he has to dedicate his life to figuring out how to use his endowment to cure a great societal problem... to perform... a MIRACLE TM.

CHIP AU - (No original title yet)

Modern Human AU in which an aimless Nico's life is changed for the better when someone abandons their little baby girl (Hazel) on the steps of the refurbished fire house he now lives in. Years later he finds a little kid named Frank and adopts him as well. Now he just needs to navigate life as a single parent which he is mostly fine with until Bianca tries to set him up with her fiance's best friend (Alabaster). Will this romance stay the casual fling it started as or could it blossom into something more? (Rated M)

NIco with bb hazel HERE

CHURCH AU - (no original title yet)

An AU where Nico sells his soul to save his family from dying, when he meets his untimely death however he finds that Hell is not what he expected, its a quarry, and is he does his quotas, he can ascend the ranks, and even make it to heaven. Each Level comes with its own set of rules. The level right before heaven, which requires Demons to go to earth to collect evil humors that taint people's souls, has the MOST rules. With him being unable to see his family, not knowing what he's doing, and finding out that his childhood friend has grown into a handsome...Preist in training?!? Nico finds that he can't keep the all of the rules straight, especially because he's not. (Rated M)
