Henry Tilney: did anyone tell you how beautiful you are, Miss Morland?

Catherine Morland: *puzzled* not really-has anyone told you how beautiful you are?

Henry Tilney: *crestfallen* well, not yet-

Catherine Morland: *encouraging* better luck next time for both of us, then!

Henry Tilney: *kinda lost his own pick-up line* yes, for sure.

Eleanor Tilney: *laughing*

I'm a bit of an outsider in the Jane Austen fandom/fan fiction world because I just don't care that much about "our dear couple" Elizabeth Bennet & Fitzwilliam Darcy. I love Pride & Prejudice, but I'm happy to break them up and pair them with someone else (and I've done it multiple times). I don't think they are the be-all end-all of romance.

No, my One True Pairing is Henry Tilney & Catherine Morland from Northanger Abbey and I'll tell you why. Anyone can appreciate Elizabeth Bennet, her merits are easy to perceive; anyone can love Mr. Darcy (once he's a bit new and improved); but only Henry Tilney can meet someone like Catherine Morland and see the shining gold underneath her plain, naive exterior.

She thinks the best of people, she's honest (to a fault), she stands up for her sense of right, she's kind, she's enthusiastic, she loves things and isn't ashamed of loving them (unless John Thorpe is a dick to her). She is a ray of sunshine and she melted the jaded Henry Tilney and I love them so much.

Quarter-Final Four

Propaganda...

Mr Tilney (2007) :

I do think that Mr Tilney needs to be seen in motion to be appreciated his attractiveness is his personality and just general charisma and he's FUNNY definetly the funniest austen man

Super charming, cute, fun, and handsome. What is not to love?

Mr Knightley (2009) :

I was just going to send in the actual dance but the little panic he has when Emma says she knows his secret is just soo charming. There was some thread on twitter a few years ago about how a romcom man's most important quality is knowing how to look at a woman and JLM is just the master of it in this Emma

I really feel like the pictures say it all. He stands there, head tilted to one side. He is listening to you. His posture is relaxed. His gaze open, frank, candid. He's not trying at all. He just is.And that's why he is Knightley.

Some propaganda, not just for Jonny Lee Miller, but the general interpretation of 09 Knightley. I have some excerpts here from my review of the 09 adaptation:

What I really think is great about the 2009 interpretation of Mr. Knightley is what an easy and comforting presence he is, without being apologetic when he scolds Emma. I think this is communicated especially well by how often we are actually shown Mr. Knightley taking his almost-daily walks to Hartfield, how smoothly he comes and goes, and how happy Emma is every time she sees him coming up the path (usually, just at the perfect moment when she needs something to put her back to rights.)

Here is Emma, feeling lonely after Miss Taylor's wedding. And in the background, walking up to Hartfield--there's Knightley. He's always been there for her, and he always will be.

And also this Mr. Knightley is as understated as ever, but I wanna highlight this outfit and why I love it: This is Knightley’s first appearance in the series and it’s the perfect establishing shot that shows the viewer everything they need to know about Emma and Knightley’s relationship and how it has always been. He sort of materializes, out of focus in the background, but Emma immediately knows he’s there. And to accentuate how much Knightley is part of her home and scenery, his clothes (similar shades of pale tan, white and minty green to the wall behind him) almost camouflage him and make him seem at one with the moulding of her home.

Additionally, Jonny Lee Miller captures Knightley’s playful qualities, and his exasperation is so endearing

I can’t be the only one tickled by this Knightley’s frustration with Emma! JLM FTW!

Always slightly confused when I see people saying things like, "I found my Mr Darcy!!! 🥰" about their partners.

So.... you found a man who is aloof, off-putting, arrogant and rude; who insulted your looks during your first meeting with him; who told you that he thinks you and your family are beneath him?!

How romantic... 😟
