#LIZZY ALSO JUST CAN'T SEE THEM ASLDF

[itspileofgoodthings]

the thing about Lizzy is that she is defensive and afraid more than she knows or admits (also witty, sparkling, and brave) and the thing about Darcy is that he just wants her to be on his couch in his huge house having a fun and safe time. 

#she's also just.... very young! and foolish! #it's not the guarded vulnerability the way we think about it #it's not this dark secret #it's more like an unaware vulnerability #anyway he LOVES her and wants to take care of her #and the book is just her being like 'i can't trust him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' but not even knowing that until he asks her asld;fkska;lfjafsafa #she's so JUMPY like i just can't even explain it #darcy: asking her questions about her personal life BECAUSE HE LIKES HER #lizzy: is he thinking about colonel fitzwilliam??? is he making a hint????? i hate it here #everyone always talks about darcy not being obvious in his intentions #LIZZY ALSO JUST CAN'T SEE THEM ASLDF #NS;KF.JASLFJSAF;JAFKJAFAF #it's very funny #'my courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate' #LIZZY HE IS LITERALLY NOT TRYING TO INTIMIDATE #and also knows you're not actually afraid of him #i guess maybe that's the thing about lizzy #she uses her wit not as cover for her fear but as something she absolutely thinks she needs to wield as a weapon because she expects attacks #wit as a cover for cynicism which has developed because of sadness #there. that's my take for the day #i'm having a lot of thoughts #they are very incoherent i'm sorry
