#pride & prejudice slander

[punkeropercyjackson]

I hate girlboss x malewife ships where it's a pathetic guy who's obsessed with a cool girl who's not nearly into him as he is her and people call it bisexuality.I want them BOTH down bad,i want them BOTH pampering eachother nonstop,i want them BOTH going to the ends of the earth for their love,i want them BOTH to be actual characters instead 'She's everything,he's just Ken' and acting like that's feminist instead of writing women as perfect and men as people.Forget girlboss x malewife,i want Equalit4ty

Night feed thoughts 🌙

It’s 4:20am so I may regret this in the cold light of day/when reason kicks in xo

So here’s the idea…

✿ Hotchniss … but make it pride and prejudice

✿ I’m more of a love hotchniss in the modern fbi canon world so would prefer a modern retelling, but you could go full blown hotchniss in the p&p regency au

✿ Now, you are set up for this beautifully with Emily’s intro in season 2 - Hotch judging her because of her mom/background, the way he doesn’t seem to like her or trust her at first like how Mr D is at the beginning and then BAM Hotch turns up at her door for “I want you on that plane with me” which could be like Mr D’s “I love you most ardently” 🥲

✿ So obvs Hotch = Mr Darcy because he’s serious and brooding and never smiles and loves Em but hides it because of ✨ appearances ✨

✿ Em is therefore obviously Lizzie but less bland and more rebellious (sorry not sorry) - super clever and looooves books (a headcanon for Emily but also a hill I will die on)

✿ Erin Strauss is obviously the bitchy great aunt who disapproves

✿ You could include a bingley and a Jane but also you could not (I think they’re boring soz)

✿ Now, I’m not one for writing the characters as actual family - I’m more found family vibes always and too much of the family stuff can feel forced and makes me cringe a little - BUT you could do Dave as Mr Bennett and Em, JJ and Penelope as his daughters if you committed to going full P&P with regency vibes

✿ Or, if you’re rooting the au in the FBI canon world, you could have Elizabeth embarrassing Em at work and Hotch judging to get the cringey family that leads to the prejudice element

Anyway I’m almost defs not going to write this because I NEED to edit and upload chapter 3 of exposure (still in my drafts 🙃) and I’m v tired and babies take up lots of time, especially when they don’t nap!! But someone should!!

Thank you for reading if you made it to the end and yes this is what my brain is like x

Disney thinking it has the monopoly on love stories and relationship goals when Jane Austen and Gomez & Morticia Addams exist.

[silvermalkin]

My aunt boldly claimed that she didn't know how anyone could like Mr. Darcy enough to marry him.

Instead of boring everyone on the dissertation that it's the fact that he's enough of a man to acknowledge his flaws AND actually work on changing, as well as very respectful of the woman he loves' opinion

I instead made everyone laugh about Colin Firth emerging dripping from a lake and getting a bath scene which luckily didn't alienate anyone bc of an insinuation that they didn't fully understand the text which

Obviously, they don't, but I shouldn't say it

The Worst- Part II

part I, part II -Masterlist -Pairing: Luke Castellan x fem!Reader -Wordcount: 1.2 K (we are getting to a decent amount bois)

-Warnings: a broken nose, kids training to be soldiers, kids feeling like their duty is more important than their feelings (only hinted to), kids being oblivious… a lot of kids -Also putting this here bc it will already be a flop: i decided that i'm gonna accept requests for imagines! ''the worst'' will be two more parts long (four in total), and I already have a oneshot planned, but I can honestly use some inspo so hit me with your fantasies darlings

-Summary: Clarisse la Rue loves her sister dearly, don’t get her wrong. But there is only so many “I hate him so much” that a girl can listen to without wanting to punch someone

In the midst of the crowded training grounds, Y/N's exasperated proclamation reverberated through the air, echoing the sentiment of her frustration, and even making a few heads turn "I hate him! Like, if I had access to a phone, the first thing I would do would be slandering him on Twitter." Her words hung in the air, punctuated by the rhythmic sounds of her laboured breaths, a testament to the emotional intensity of the moment. It was meant to be a normal training session, but here they were.

The training grounds, typically the cherished domain of Clarisse, witnessed an unexpected twist as she extended an invitation for her sister to partake in the martial exercises. Little did they anticipate that this seemingly innocuous decision would unfold like a tragic tale, akin to the consequences of staring into the eyes of the mythical Gorgon, Medusa.

Contrary to what her laid back usual behavior could have people believe, Y/N wielded not just competent but formidable fighting skills, and perhaps even more than that, although she chose to downplay her own prowess. She really needed an ego boost, poor girl.

 Surprisingly, Clarisse, typically known for her brazen attitude, found herself offering advice on channelling pent-up anger, creating a paradox within their dynamic.

"Look, I can't believe I, of all people, am saying this, but you need to get out some pent-up anger," Clarisse urged, her eyes locking with Y/N's, a glint of determination reflecting in both their eyes. Y/N might have had the experience and the sheer strength as an advantage, but Clarisse was not one to go one without a fight.

In response, Y/N met her sister's gaze, revealing a distinct red glint in her eyes that bore the weight of their divine lineage, a visual and rather unsettling reminder of their connection to the god of war.

"Says the girl who tried to dunk a twelve-year-old's head in a toilet," Y/N retorted, unearthing an incident that had yet to be addressed between the two.

Undeterred, Clarisse countered with a potent argument, "Says the girl who loudly threatened to cut off a fellow head counsellor's fingers," opting for a strategic move to deflect Y/N's accusation.

Their swords clashed in the midst of this verbal sparring, the resonating sound capturing the attention of onlookers within the camp. Despite Clarisse's unwavering determination, even she couldn't deny that in a direct confrontation with Y/N, her sister held the upper hand, boasting both strength and exceptional skill. Well, Clarisse wasn’t the one who had devoted her life to beat another guy at sword fighting, so...

"He was tickling me," Y/N grunted in her defence, attempting to justify the seemingly drastic threat she had made.

With an eye roll, Clarisse retorted with a smirk, "Somehow, someway, darling sister, I find myself believing that you would much rather prefer for his fingers to be on you more, not less." A friend in Aphrodites’ cabin had her watching Pride and Prejudice. She might or might not have picked up on the language.

The verbal exchange evolved into a physical intensity, with Y/N delivering each blow without restraint, unveiling a relentless determination that hinted at a deeper conflict brewing beneath the surface of their sibling rivalry. The air pulsated with a charged energy, making it abundantly clear that this training session was more than a mere exercise: they might have been sisters, but their father only chose one favourite every generation. And there was only so far sisterly love could go when compared to the approval of the god of war. 

In the aftermath of the tumultuous clash that reverberated within the expansive training grounds, Clarisse found herself holding an ice pack to her nose, attempting to salvage some semblance of composure despite a burning pain. Y/N's apologetic words resonated in the air, "Clary, you know I didn’t mean to actually like... break your nose, right?" Clarisse couldn't help but reflect on the irony that her usually death-promising gaze might have been far more menacing if not for the ice pack an Apollo kid had provided.

It was a stark realisation for Clarisse—one thing to possess a temper worthy of Ares, the god of war, but an entirely different ordeal to have her nose inadvertently shattered by her crush-stricken big sister. Oh yeah, Clarisse knew about the crush. And if it fueled her sister like that… she needed to express it somehow.

Amidst the physical discomfort and emotional tumult, Clarisse couldn't ignore the revelation that had dawned upon her, independent of any disclosure from a certain daughter of Aphrodite (yeah Silena was the only reason she understood anything about social life). The truth became undeniably clear: all those seemingly vehement words of hatred were mere echoes of a deeper connection. Well, Eros and Thanatos were brothers or something, so it wasn’t a surprised that an emotion as deep as… the L word… could be mistaken for a hate as deep as the Underworld.

But the realisation didn't stop there. Clarisse delved into the motives behind Y/N's persistent obsession with surpassing Luke Castellan. Y/N was relentlessly driven to excel, that was for sure, but… that quest for superiority might have been an unspoken method to spend more time with him. She was good at expressing feelings like that. Her nose was a witness, or rather had been before it got shattered.

As the narrative unfolded, an unexpected player stepped into the intricate story: Luke Castellan, best friend to a daughter of Athena. Of all goddesses, Athena? His arrival injected a fresh layer of complexity into an already intricate tapestry. Y/N's pouted plea for forgiveness resonated in the charged atmosphere, and though Clarisse couldn't suppress an eye roll, a reluctant nod escaped her. Temper or not, she acknowledged that familial bonds, no matter how tumultuous, possessed a resilience that transcended momentary conflicts, solidifying the intricate strands of their sisterhood within the dynamic of Camp Half-Blood.

However, the scene took an unexpected turn as Luke Castellan entered, his eyes widening at the sight of blood on Y/N's clothes. "What happened here?" he inquired, concern etched on his face. He didn’t even try to hide it! Gods, had she really been that blind?

Caught in the unfolding drama, Clarisse, with an air of suspicion, eyed Luke. "Y/N accidentally broke my nose. You care or something?"

As Luke rushed to deny it, Clarisse couldn't shake the inkling that perhaps there was more to his worry than mere friendship. The charged atmosphere hinted at an unspoken connection, and Clarisse couldn’t help but wonder if that boy was really as dumb as he was sounding right now.

‘’Okay, I’m gonna go, Clary. I think Chiron will have some kind of punishment to deliver to me’’ ever dutiful, ever penitent Y/N. She might have wanted her father’s approval, but it came second to following the laws.

Clarisse didn’t know a lot of Latin, but she was sure that ‘’dura lex, sed lex’’ was something that could be applied to her big sister.

She just hoped that it wouldn’t conflict with her emotions, because seriously, there was only a number of noses she could get broken and of ‘’he’s the worst’’ that she could hear.

A/N: OK WE DID IT!!!! Srs though thank you for the support it was really unexpected. Ok so thoughts and prayers for Clarisse’s nose! Also I couldn’t resist making the reader hint at Twitter bc Ares talking about it in the show has me screaming crying and laughing. That’s all! Next part will be out… eventually. Taglist: @2hiigh2cry @mxtokko @niktwazny303 @honey-ambrosia @luvvfromme @lostinhisworld (that should be all but i might have forgotten someone! If i did please forgive me and make my crucifixion fast)(also lemme know if you want to be tagged in the next parts)

[not-terezi-pyrope]

I think the online queer community needs to reckon with the fact that prejudice against polyamory (including recycled arguments about legal equality being a slippery slope!) is more common than it is not in some spheres even when populated by lefty gay/trans folks.

You are all for liberation until someone suggests that monogamy is not universally sacred. Then you get all uncomfortable and start rattling off some pejorative nonsense about "cis bi polyam dudes being weird at a parties" or some straight up evangelical-style slander about polygamous cults marrying minors without batting an eye.

And then you'll continue on waving pride flags like you haven't just smeared and casually dismissed the legal rights of a sexual minority. Because it makes you uncomfortable to face that your preferences might not be universal, I guess.

Honestly no better than old fashioned homophobia I will be honest.

February Malec fic rec!

Thanking @kalalab for this month's theme which is enemies to lovers! The same rules still apply, about one fic per author, but all of these authors have other brilliant fics you should be reading and if you want to add your own recs in the comments, tags, or reblogs please feel free to do so! 😊

Also, I have tagged the authors whose Tumblr account I know, but if you'd prefer I not tag you, please tell me so! I don't want these to be annoying for the authors.

One-shots:

Rumor Has It by Lecrit: A human AU which is not something I'm generally a fan of, but Lecrit just writes so well that I gobble this up anyway.

Summary:

Magnus widens his eyes at him, silently asking him to just give him this one. Alec simply curves one of his stupidly perfect eyebrows in response, a simple gesture that carries the weight of a call for challenge. “Looks like you’re gonna have to postpone your wedding for now,” Maia giggles next to him. Magnus huffs, flexing his jaw. “Oh, it’s on, Lightwood,” he mouths at him.

Also, because I suck at keeping to my own rules, I'm adding a second fic rec that I maybe love just as much by Lecrit aka the way to a chef's heart. But, in my defense, both fics are great and one is about cooking and baking. I am weak when it comes to food, okay?

Anyway, summary:

After a scorching review on his restaurant in one of the world's most famous food magazines, world class chef Magnus Bane is set on finding the food critic who dared to slander his art and make him change his mind. He doesn't expect someone as stubborn or infuriating as Alec Lightwood

you're the light that i won't let go by oh-la-fraise: Another human AU as well as an Enemies to Lovers with a twist.

Summary:

There were three unspoken rules to the Manhattan Institute of Higher Learning, New York’s premier private K-12 school: 1) Respect that the space under the football bleachers was for sex, and only for sex. 2) Don’t eat the cafeteria meatloaf. 3) Never mention Mr. Bane to Mr. Lightwood or vice versa, unless you wanted the whole class to get extra homework.

careless curses by @alexanderlightweight: I don't know what to say that isn't already stated in the summary except I love it when alexanderlightweight writes dark themes. (Or just writes in general).

Summary:

The Lightwood family has been cursed by death for generations and now, Alec lives with death hovering over him. Sometimes life is the curse and death the reward.

Ten Not-Dates That Magnus Bane Spends Falling In Love with Alec Lightwood by Aria_Lerendeair: Magnus is hilariously done at the start of this fic.

Summary:

Magnus was going to have words with the Clave. They would be decidedly unpleasant words, and they might be accompanied by a few very pointed magic blasts and maybe even curses.  They deserved it. Another Lightwood in charge of the New York Institute?

Multi-chapter fics or series:

All the Costs are Even by tsujiharu: A fic that deserves more love imo, is this Pride and Prejudice retelling. Also, I'm just now realizing that most of these are Human AU's despite me being notorious for generally not liking them, lol.

Summary:

A modern day Pride and Prejudice AU, in which a disgruntled lawyer and an aloof entrepreneur can't seem to get over their pride (and prejudices?) and admit their very obvious attraction to each other.

love is a four-letter word by @la-muerta: Do la-muerta fics need to be recced? Probably not because I suspect most people have read them. Am I still going to to rec them because I love them? Yes! So here is another lovely human AU fic where first impressions maybe aren't what they seem.

Summary:

Magnus knows he's one of the best editors in the business. So when the bigoted director of the publishing house he works for gives their grandson's best friend the promotion Magnus deserved to get, he decides that it's the last straw. Magnus intends to go out with a bang and take his new boss down with him — but he didn't mean for it to happen quite so literally.

Crush On You by @gospi: A FTH fic of 2023 that had me laughing at how salty Alec is about crushing on Magnus. A lot of fun.

Summary:

An ancient, unsuccessful recipe for starting new relationshipsalliances: A dash of rumors. A sprinkle of heritage. A smidgen of jealousy. A dollop of chaotic disasters. A shitload of assumptions. Let it simmer. Enjoy!

My True Love Gave To Me by AlxSteele: Christmas repeats itself endlessly for Magnus and while it's annoying he does end up learning a new side from the awful baked Alec Lightwood. Surprise, he isn't all that awful.

Summary:

Magnus Bane had a plan, a perfect Christmas Eve just like always. Hang out with his friends, bask in the Christmas Spirit. Then everything went wrong. Now he's stuck reliving the same day again and again and again. The bright side? Maybe Alec Lightwood isn't as terrible as Magnus always thought.

A fic that I am sure most people have already read because it is wonderful (which is the reason why I didn't add it last month even though it's a wing fic) is Fall Without Wings by @notcrypticbutcoy. It's a brilliant fic that's all.

Summary:

Or: In which the Nephilim have wings, are taught to loathe Downworlders, and Alec is presented with a conundrum when Magnus Bane saves his life.

Finally watched The Barbie Movie

I didn't like the implication of the Kens being victims of the "feminism". I wish it was more say than him not feeling enough had a base in the Mattel's president insecurities, the same way America Ferrera's character influenced Barbie's.

I also didn't like the slander against Pride and Prejudice as a sign of "feminity under the patriarchy" just because it's romance when it's one of the best books of romance

Apart from that, i liked the I'm Kenough song, the Ferrera's character speach and that the Ken's actually missed their Barbies because they were FRIENDS and not in love with them (except for the main Ken)

[thedrarrylibrarian]

Hiii I hope you're well! I just watched pride and prejudice (2005) for the first time and now I'm looking for all the drarry PaP AUs I can find. Do you happen to know any? Thank you in advance

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that librarians love Pride and Prejudice! This is a fun request and I most ardently loved putting this list together for you. I hope your dance card isn’t too full because your holds have arrived!

Pride and Prejudice Vibes

A Truth Universally Acknowledged by @aedwritesfic (2,479 words, rated T)

Bored out of his mind during quarantine, Harry joins the virtual book club hosted by the hot new librarian in Godric's Hollow.

I Hardly Know by cathcer1984 (6,934 words, rated T)

Harry Potter does not like Draco Malfoy. At least that's what he tells himself.

The Pleasure of Understanding You by drarryisgreen (11,990 words, rated E)

An adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

A Truth Universally Acknowledged by @sorrybutblog (17,363 words, rated M)

A year out from the war, Harry agrees to accompany Hermione on a historical walking tour of Pride and Prejudice. Not in the itinerary: running into Draco Malfoy, setting off a summer of stately homes, lavish parties, resentful shagging, and maybe, falling in love.

amid this warm and steady sweetness by @forestgreenlesbian (21,182 words, rated E)

Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.

Romp and Circumstance by @wolfpants (35,505 words, rated E)

Since the war, Harry Potter has gone from Saviour to Scoundrel—not that he’s complaining.

With a schedule full of gorgeous men, alcohol, and late nights, why would he want to change? Enter Draco Malfoy: beautiful, sharp, and completely untouchable. When Draco comes to Harry with a proposition to help him attract an engagement, Harry’s up for it—after all, how hard can it be not falling for his former nemesis?

Very hard, apparently.

Recompense & Reparo by sablier_sarcelle (48,981 words, rated E)

And Mr. Draco Malfoy, pureblood wizard whose reputation has certainly been slandered by The War (and perhaps even by his own actions in said war) has a plan. A list of five steps to restore the Malfoy family to its proper place in society.

That is until Harry Potter comes along and mucks it all.

A Regency AU, in which there are ungloved touches, letters, meddling mothers, and hope that love can somehow find a way.

❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️

Lots of Love and Happy Reading!

[belle-keys]

what classic books are in your opinion ovverated? to me it will always be pride and prejudice and wuthering heights. nighmare inside a nightmare

I love this question! (Despite not agreeing in the least, not even a tiny bit, with the Wuthering Heights slander).

But here are some classics that I, personally, think are overrated. Mimd you, all of these books are critically brilliant literary masterpieces. I, personally, just don't like them that much but I fully revere their writers' skill nonetheless.

Pride and Prejudice - doesn't do anything for me, not my thing.

Moby Dick - whale book is a drag for me.

The Scarlet Letter - or maybe I just don't like American writers lmfao.

The Brothers Karamazov - I mentally feel insufferable engaging with this bitch-ass behemoth.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - silly, silly book.

i take back my slander towards jane austen and pride and prejudice. shoulda told me she uses words like “silly” i luv that. im so silly indeed

[astrangergivingthestrangewelcome]

I'm sorry I was watching a youtube video discussing Charlotte in Pride and Prejudice and I found this comment

And like I will accept No Charlotte Slander on my blog I also deeply respect her choices in the novel however how do you like. Look at your parents marriage. When you know you were named after Charlotte Lucas from Pride and Prejudice. Again I'm not trying to put her down she did the best she could with her lot in life but like usually you name your kid after someone who... had better luck? Fuck "you do can do whatever you set your mind to, achieve your dreams" this kid was raised like "my dearest wish for you is you will be able to settle with grace and contentment into a good enough life"
