Personally, I feel everyone even Jane Austen herself is a tad bit mean when it comes to the character of Mrs. Bennet and should shift some on that to Mr. Bennet. Like yes she's a silly, neurotic woman but can u like blame her?
Her husband failed to do anything for their children. He stopped being involved in their education probably around Mary's childhood, did not save or plan for the future of FIVE women at all, and not only that he's so unbothered by ANYTHING at all like Mr. Collins - the heir to his estate and fortune - stops by and he doesn't even tell his family?????? until he's about to arrive?????? Not only that it's kind of cruel the way he does it like haha u guys know how yall are women so u don't inherit shit? well, the dude that can come and turn u all out on ur asses - which is mostly my fault bc i didn't do shit to make sure u all are provided for once I'm gone - is about to arrive so hehe.
Like in what other way is Mrs. Bennet supposed to behave in that era where her daughter's futures were entirely dependent on the wealth of the man they marry. And honestly, i think Mrs. Bennet was almost too kind to Mr. Bennet I'd have been very bitter knowing that even tho we tried for a son - hence all the daughters - he still did nothing to ensure their financial security. Like these girls could have ended up destitute and it'd be entirely his fault. I always saw Mrs. Bennet as a mother who was just trying to do the best she could to look out for her daughters given the circumstances.

As someone who loves Albert, I wish he could have been at the wedding.
As someone who regularly has to fly between Korea and the states, I do not blame him for skipping it.

does it count as "an adultery kink" if the fascination is only for the very specific dynamic where there's a still-totally-deniable thorki subtext underneath it all?
asking for the many people who have no doubt wondered this.

Meiri.... Humblest Meiri of blessed origin and wideness of mind.... I know your comms are not open Nyeow but I do have a question for if/when you open them again. Would you be willing to do a comm of a vtuber model (original, not-existing) and/or art for vtubing backgrounds/chat/etc?
being 100% depending on how bad the job search goes i might reopen them this summer. basically the deal is If i get a fulltime summer job you're not seeing commission until fall & if i don't Chances Are They're Reopening. we'll find out anyday now.
and i've never worked on vtuber models but as long as i don't have to do any of the rigging i can work on that 👍 & backgrounds/chat & the like as well. since it's not something i usually do we'd have to Discuss it some more but you know. doable 👍 the indomitable human spirit and all.
