emma woodhouse is the funniest austen girl. she has one-sided drama with the most reserved girl who has done nothing but literally just mind her business. she gets angry about not being invited to a social event even though she would have said no just because she would have liked to be asked. she's said she's aiming to read more for years but has never actually read more. she refers to her best friend as being naive and not very smart and kind of manipulates her while simultaneously both complicating her life greatly from the moment they meet to being her ride or die. she is literally The Problem. she denies that she is The Problem. she makes me want to pull my hair out. I love her more than anything.

Thinking about Northanger Abbey again, because what else... and about Isabella and her fate and why I think it's very important to view Captain Tilney as a man who respects the word "No".

Is he a rake? Absolutely, but more along the lines of Henry Crawford rather than a Willoughby. The kind of man who hands a young woman just enough rope to hang herself, but not one to lure unsuspecting girls into ruin.

And that's kinda important to me, not only because his younger siblings seem to like him well enough, but if he isn't, if he is a true villain, then Isabella becomes a victim of him, rather than her own greed. Her story is somewhat tragic but it is so because her downfall is her own doing, her own fault. No one forced her to throw away everything she had.

She wasn't friendless, helpless, innocent or not knowing better. Instead Isabella actively (isn't it beautiful how in NA the women actively pursue and the men are comparatively passive?) decides to go after another man even though she's engaged. Even before Frederick Tilney enters the scene she's set on flirting with other men and looking to replace James.

Tilney's only fault in this is being a slightly immoral ass with a pride and vanity of his own. Had he been an immoral fool he would've married her and a more moral man would have ignored her... He instead enabled her to ruin everything and in a way, I actually enjoy this story because Isabella is terrible, but Tilney is far from kind or good and it's a trainwreck.

But it's a trainwreck that wouldn't have happened had Isabella, at any point, decided to say no.

Forever obsessed with Donna just straight up having a fully domesticated time lord in her house. You know she's posting pictures of The Doctor napping, Skimbleshanks loudly purring on his hip, with captions like "the oncoming storm and the cat he said he didn't want" to the companions group chat

this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn't jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .

The 'rude/demanding' tone would be stuff along the lines of "if you like but don't reblog I'll [threat]" which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly

"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

In the mid-2000s there was a brief fad in Australian government messaging where they went out of their way to insult the public as much as possible.

This fad eventually died out after the tourism board attempted the same style of messaging in the UK, causing a minor scandal which led to the head of Tourism Australia, Scott Morrison, getting the sack.
