do you ever think about how darcy's perspective of the visit to rosings is just... a completely wild time.
so like. he and his favourite cousin goes to visit with his weird aunt, and ends up running into this hot girl, that he's really kinda increasingly into? she's staying in the area for a while with her bestie.
so like. he was expecting a boring social obligation visit & getting pressure into marrying his other, less favourite cousin.
instead, he watches the hot girl hold her own with his aunt in conversation. she banters with him over the pianoforte and they have a Moment™. he keeps going over to the house she's staying at, just to awkwardly chill there, even though he doesn't like the other people there. has a whole conversation with her about how she wouldn't mind living far away from family, as long as she could afford the travel. he extends his visit so he can keep seeing her.
when he runs into her on a walk, she makes a point of detailing the exact route she prefers to take while out walking, clearly encouraging him to join her, so he does. he has a really nice time on these walks, they spend a lot of time in companionable silence, but he manages to flirt a little by implying some stuff about the future & what their married life could be like, and they have some conversations about that.
and sure, she has some family baggage, but none of them are around so it's a lot easier to ignore, y'know?
so eventually he just can't take it anymore, and he shoots his shot. she clearly values honesty so he explains his scruples as well, but he thinks she's been dropping some favourable signals, so he's got a good chance, right?
and then not only she turns him down she ROASTS THE FUCK OUT OF HIM. she insults him. she insults his honour as a gentleman. she flips the fuck out about... oh yeah crap the sister thing, turns out his cousin blabbed, and then I'M SORRY YOU SAID WHAT? ABOUT WICKHAM? THIS IS ABOUT FUCKING WICKHAM, MY FUCKING NEMESIS? HE FUCKING SAID WHAT ABOUT.... OH MY GOD. oh fuck. I've fucked up so badly I need to reevaluate my entire life & risk sending a letter to an unmarried woman who hates my guts, just so i can explain shit. fuck.

ONE DAY
↳book > screen
In the years he was with Emma, he sometimes wondered idly what life would be like if she weren’t around; not in a morbid way, just pragmatically, speculatively, because don’t all lovers do this? Wonder what he would be without her? Loss has not endowed him with any kind of tragic grandeur, it had just made him stupid and banal. Without her, he is without merit or value or purpose.

Omg I loved the Kakucho and Sanzu's ideal types! Could I get a 2nd part with Ran, Hanma and Izana please? 🤧🤧💗
Their Type of Girl pt.2
♡ SFW, mentions of fighting, brief descriptions of personality and relationship, spanking, skin tone not specified, height mentioned twice ♡
Characters: Ran, Hanma, Izana
note: thanks for requesting anon, glad you enjoyed the first part 🩷
❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀
Ran
💜 Likes his women on the shorter side, bonus points if they're sassy asf because he likes when a woman can put him in his place
💜 She has to be into spanking, no doubt about it (I know you peep that baton)
💜 Has to be cool with his brother, if Rindou doesn't think she's a good fit then Ran would trust his judgement (he'd unironically say bros before hoes lmao)
Hanma
🏵️ Doesn't care about height, if you're short that's fine, if you're tall he'll climb you like a tree
🏵️ Loves a woman that can stand up for herself and her man, he'll cheer you on during fights (he'd be the one yelling worldstar at the top of his lungs while recording)
🏵️ You're obligated to laugh at his terrible jokes and pickup lines, at least crack a smile for him
Izana
🎴 Has to wear heels or have heels lying around (so he can steal them and slay hard)
🎴 Wants a loving woman that'll take care of him (it's his mommy issues kicking in)
🎴 Genuinely just wants to love and be loved back, as long as the woman is a relatively good person (lowkey the opposite of him lol) then he'll fold
❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

favorite first lines: pride & prejudice, jane austen
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
