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

JANE EYRE (2011) Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga

Yet after all my task was not an easy one; often I would rather have pleased than teased him. My future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun. I could not, in those days, see God for His creature: of whom I had made an idol.

A guide through Toby Stephens’ filmography for Percy Jackson fans.

If you’ve only just discovered Toby as Poseidon and want more than 10 minutes of that face, here’s where to start!

If you’d be into Poseidon trying to make up for his absence and trying to win Sally and Percy back while fighting to survive in outer space, look no further! Watch Lost In Space on Netflix! It’s full of adventure, family, a but of angst and lots of DAD!

If you’d be more into Poseidon going full Odysseus on Zeus for taking everything from him and then calling him a monster while Medusa takes revenge, do yourself a favor and watch Black Sails! Peak TV. Queer af. Made by Jon Steinberg. [Trigger warnings]

If Sally and Poseidon pining is your thing and you love your Charlotte Brontë, watch the 2006 Jane Eyre with #RuthWilson and #TobyStephens! So much romance, angst and mutual eyefucking… warning: You WILL fall in love with a douchebag! Sorry for that!

Shakespeare Poseidon anyone? A very young and extremely pretty Toby Stephens as Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night. Lots of pining, genderfluidity, confusion and sparks. SPARKS! And a bathtub that will rewire your brain. Something something LGBT will definitely happen to you!

Finally if you love something face paced and modern with great teenage heroes, give Alex Rider on Prime a watch! Toby Stephens is a brilliant villain in S2 with loads of Elon Musk vibes. Poseidon the media mogul asshole? Maybe.

Other highly recommended things from Toby Stephens’ backlist: Cambridge Spies, Photographing Fairies, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Mangal Pandey and Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.

"Rochester is problematic" yes?? that's the point? There's literally a bit in the book when Rochester tells Jane that he thinks she could fix him and she tells him that he should fix himself. And later in the narrative, when he's made the decision to work on himself and feels regret for his past actions, only at that point does Jane marry him. The point is that Rochester is a deeply flawed man who needed to realise that he had the capacity to improve on his own, without asking someone else to make him into a better person.

Edward Fairfax Rochester and Jane Eyre, both ridiculously in love with the other:

Mr. Rochester: "Blanche Ingram? Oh yeah, she's the hot stuff, definitely wife material, sexiest thing I ever beheld, don't you also think we'd literally be couple goals? Anyway, I'm 100% going to ask her to marry me"

Jane Eyre: "Yeah, so, I met this cousin of mine who looks like a Greek god. Sir, I cannot stress how physically perfect he is. Also, he is a minister, so he's obviously the best man who ever lived and a paragon of exemplary behavior. He asked me to marry him, btw, if you even care"

I don't know why I haven't made any art related to this book. It's been one of my favorites for a few years (since I first read it).

I love how Jane and Mr. Rochester show their smiles and smugness at each other during the money scene in "Jane Eyre" 2006 version. It made me chuckle and they feel like they don't want to separate.

“I am not an angel," I asserted; "and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself.”
