On a Visit to Anne Sallow

Upon meeting the young Anne Sallow, Eleanor knew immediately that her curse was a dreadful one. However, ever perceptive, she treated Anne no differently than she did anyone else. Even she knew Anne didn't want to be pitied. She was more than her illness

From what she heard, Anne was a mischievous girl much like herself. Looking for trouble anywhere, even within Hogwarts castle. She had that fire in her just like Eleanor did—a kindred spirit. Though, today she is different and that is what Eleanor noticed right away. Anne no longer had that same fire she used to have all those days ago when she played with Sebastian and Ominis. It was as if the fire in her soul had died out. Anne's fire needed no kindling because she resigned herself to her fate. She did not want to find a cure but to live in quiet solitude until the pain or curse itself ended her existence. So, putting away her fire and all that made her fun and unique, Anne lived a quiet life in Feldcroft with her uncle. That was something Eleanor could not understand. How could you resign yourself to such a fate when there had to be a cure somewhere? She knew they tried St. Mungo's as well as other places, but surely there had to be a cure somewhere. The notion of giving up made no sense to her. What happened to the girl so full of life and fire she heard about from Sophronia and Sebastian? It was like she no longer existed. Eleanor would never let herself become like that. She would never be meek or resigned and would instead work her absolute hardest to break through any barriers or obstacles set in front of her. If she was sick, she'd travel all over the world for a cure, pain be damned. No one was going to take away her fire. No one. Because if one thing was made clear from the visit, it was that Eleanor's fire burned even brighter afterwards, as if in challenge. She dared anyone to take away what made her her, making it known that she was no English flower—she would not wilt just from a little bit of hardship. Not now, not ever. Eleanor's flame will rise higher and higher, blazing through the sky in eternal glory.

The Mansfield House Yearbook: Volume IV

Back to school - or uni - today! And it's a bed-hopping bonanza, I warn you.

Let's start with a game of whose buttocks are these, shall we?

To put you out of your misery, they're Elliot's. And Olivia, I thought you were with James (as much as anyone is)?

Well, these two look quite cosy together, so I guess Olivia has moved on, not wanting to compete with three other girls for James's attention?

The next day, she decides it's time to put a ring on...

James! OK, well - I guess you know your own heart best. Perhaps Elliot was a just a rebound thing?

I think Elliot's expression says it all.

Martha is none too pleased either - she thought she had first dibs on James - but Olivia swiftly puts her in her place! Semi-resident Llama Guy thinks it's the perfect time to celebrate with a school cheer though.

But before I know it, Martha has already caused a rift between Olivia and her intended (I didn't see exactly what happened here), and seems rather delighted with herself as a result.

It's not all about romance - sometimes there's some studying too! Actually, I lie, it is.

When Eleanor drops round, Hester seems bent on creating domestic strife too.

And Eleanor looks like she could very well be tempted to stray from her long-term partner Esther. I guess Esther's persistence in trying to tie Eleanor down is perhaps having the opposite effect, and driving them apart.

Yup.

James doesn't seem too concerned about being estranged from new fiancée Olivia, and hooks up again with Henrietta at the first opportunity.

Disenchanted Olivia seeks solace with Elliot once again.

And I just have no idea who is with whom any more!

I was tagged in this "get to know you" meme by both @booksandabeer and @stars-inthe-sky - but it has slightly different questions! I've synthesized them, LOL. Thanks for the tag, you guys!

last song: "The Letter," The Box Tops, followed by "The Letter," Joe Cocker. No one make me choose! The former is a perfect, crisp, driving little pop/soul gem; the latter is a live performance that you've probably heard so often that it's easy to forget just how good it is. It feels like everyone on that recording is operating at the height of their powers, and the result is this towering, ecstatic, howling, joyous track that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day if you're lucky.

currently reading: a manuscript for work that I wouldn't pick up if it wasn't for work, LOL. Last few books, though: Eleanor Catton, Birnam Wood (def recommend, I keep thinking about this one); Thomas Mallon, Fellow Travelers and Up With The Sun (sometimes you have Questions about an author and the only thing to do is to read more of their work; more on that eventually maybe).

last film: Never Let Me Go. Quite simply, I had trouble entering into the spirit of the thing (the concept doesn't really hold up upon examination and I'm not sure I buy the larger analogy), but the book is supposed to be fantastic, of course. I did enjoy baby Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, and Andrew Garfield though.

currently watching: The final season of The Crown, more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm finding it very...mid? Is that what the kids are saying? The show peaked a while back, but Elizabeth Debicki's performance as Diana continues to be shockingly good and worth the price of admission. Also, as per my recent reads, watching Fellow Travelers, on track to finish up next week. Waiting to say more about that til I've seen the whole series, but I will say that I have gained a lot of respect for Jonathan Bailey!

three ships: I feel a bit like I'm between fandoms right now, but I can always be talked into reading some good Betty/Jughead, Steve/Bucky, and, uh, *looks at her bookmarks* Crowley/Aziraphale.

favorite color: purple!

currently consuming: About to consume some homemade spinach tortellini soup. (Well, okay. Mostly homemade. The tortellini isn't my own. There are limits.)

relationship status: old married :D

first ship: Hmm! I guess maybe Rachel/Tobias, way back to my preteen Animorph days? Although I certainly did not get into fic for shippy purposes, as @stirringsofconsciousness can verify.

currently working on: desperately needed post-holiday cleaning, honestly. And a bunch of little art projects!

tagging (as ever, with no obligation): @lurker-no-more , @jandjsalmon , @pantsaretherealheroes, @ballroompink

I'm nothing but a cheater so here's a poll that I could decide on

[slytherinsomniari]

I did another Hogwarts Legacy drawing! This time it’s of my oc Eleanor Knightley! 😊 the shading sucks and so does the background (because I decided to add it at the last minute so it’s really bad). It was supposed to be hills in the background but I’m too lazy to fix it lol

I found this cycling outfit (1895?) on Pinterest and immediately thought of Eleanor. I’m so happy I got to draw her in it! It’s girly but it’s also practical, fitting for her adventures.

The Pemberley College Yearbook: Volume VIII

Since Isabella and Samuel have rather jumped the gun when it comes to intimacy, I decided it was way past time to send them on a first date. (There seems to be a craze amongst the Random Dormies for grey hoodies and black leather jackets.)

Serial monogamist Isabella takes matters into her own hands once again!

Who could resist such pretty brown eyes?

Or a ring in their favourite colour?

Not Samuel it seems!

Elsewhere in the club...

...Ricky Cormier and Meadow Thayer - with their matching noses - are having their first kiss.

Bless!

And back at Pemberley, Esther and Eleanor are getting to know each other better too.

Much better!

[bethanydelleman]

Smartest thing each JA protagonist has done?

I find it kind of hard to define "smart", but I would stay standing by your principles is both intelligent and right.

Catherine Morland refuses to lie (or lie by proxy) to Eleanor Tilney, despite being encouraged to by the Thorpes and her own brother.

Elizabeth Bennet refuses to marry two different men because she doesn't esteem them.

Elinor Dashwood never allows Lucy Steele to drag her down to her level.

Marianne Dashwood won't let her sister be insulted by others..

Anne Elliot visits her poor friend when they have a prior engagement despite her father's disapproval.

Fanny Price refuses to marry without love and respect, even though her position is highly unstable.

Jane Bennet... I'm glad she finally understands Caroline's character by the end. Love you, Jane!

Emma Woodhouse... smartest... thing... moral thing... well she is prepared to accept Mr. Knightley marrying Harriet if that is what he really wants. That was big of her.
