Wretchedly did he feel, that with all the cost and care of an anxious and expensive education, he had brought up his daughters without their understanding their first duties, or his being acquainted with their character and temper.

[bethanydelleman]

I was wondering — how do you think Mansfield would turn out if Henry had fallen in love with Julia and married her? Because a lot of the other dominoes would not have fallen.

Part of the question is when he falls in love with Julia and if she decides to accept him. Julia finally figured out that Henry was playing a double game during the play, after that she is very resistant to him flirting with her. She even arranges to stay with friends when he goes to London (smart girl!) so she won't have to see him.

If Henry arrives and falls for Julia, he wouldn't flirt with Maria and the story would be very boring, though I think Maria would get very jealous of her sister's good luck while she's stuck with her loser fiance. Sir Thomas would also be happy.

If Henry falls in love sometime around Sotherton, Maria is going to be angry and probably attempt to win Henry back. That would cause further discord between the sisters and jealousy in Mr. Rushworth. The play would be a lovely mess, because Maria would want to play opposite Henry but he would push for Julia. That probably leaves Maria moping on the sidelines.

If Henry falls post-play, then it would be an uphill battle to convince Julia that his feelings were real. I don't think she'd hold out as well as Fanny Price, however, and would absolutely accept a proposal. Maria would be furious. I can see Julia returning home as quickly as possible to escape her wrath. Then all Henry needs to do is NOT flirt with Maria again, which would probably be fine if he followed Julia back to Mansfield.

However, all of this would leave Edmund very likely to end up with Mary Crawford, which leaves Fanny behind. I do think either Maria or Julia would end up inviting her over to keep them company. And no, I don't think Henry is immoral enough to try to seduce a house guest and relative of his wife. Mary Crawford also likes Fanny and I can see her trying to match-make after she marries Edmund. Might even use Fanny as a good excuse to go enjoy the season in London!

The Bingley Family Album: Volume XV

We're catching up with another member of the Bingley clan today - Benjamin, over in Sanditon, and his fiancé Walter.

Top of the list after getting his own place, was to adopt a dog from the animal shelter. Enter Moody! He reminds Benjamin a lot of his childhood pal Bella.

~ Libra

~ Doofus / Lazy / Friendly / Pigpen

He proves to be great company while Benjamin is alone at home during the day.

And the pair soon form a close bond. (He also sports some rather splendid facial hair, just like his master.)

He quickly becomes a favourite with Dog Person Walter too. His family never had any pets while he was growing up, but he's thoroughly enjoying having Moody around now.

Benjamin was also keen to set up his own dedicated art studio at home, to pursue his dream of perfecting a masterpiece.

He finds inspiration everywhere he looks.

Well, I guess his ambition to make his mark on the art world has to start somewhere!

Robert doesn't know about art, but he knows what he likes, and that includes his ex's oeuvre.

Walter meanwhile is still risking life and limb on a daily basis as an Adventurer. He's certainly well equipped for tackling the considerable risk posed by taking a shower.

Also on the agenda is hosting a house-warming party. Unfortunately, it turns into an occasion for Benjamin's past conquests to come back to haunt him - including his flings with Townie Chandler Platz (undocumented), Julia,...

...Robert and Anna.

While Walter was happy to be just one of many before their engagement, he now expects a little more commitment from Benjamin.

Now that they've reached a firm understanding as to the footing of their relationship, everything is soon smoothed over between them.

And - much to the surprise of both - it's hello, impending parenthood! But will Walter stay the course this time, or will he cut and run, just as he did in the past with Cassandra? (I've given up trying to rationalise same-sex pregnancy in my game - Sims aren't humans, they don't have the same biology as us, so it just happens, because I want it to! 😁)

No sooner had Susan and her cousins left their box at the intermission than they came face to face with Miss Crawford and a gentleman exiting another box a few doors down. The gentleman was a stranger to Susan but the similarity of his appearance to the lady was such as made his identity as obvious as it was unanticipated.

Julia stopped dead and even Miss Crawford, usually so self-possessed, blushed and hesitated. Her brother too seemed struck by astonishment at the sight of the party. Only Mr. Yates, whose happy disposition did not admit of any embarrassment, was unperturbed.

“Crawford!” he boomed. “This is capital! No idea you were in the country, let alone in town! It's been years! But of course we should meet at the theatre - where else? You remember my wife, of course? And this is her cousin, Miss Price. Susan, this is the famous Mr. Crawford.”

Susan was as surprised as the others but for different reasons. This was the infamous Mr. Crawford? Her cousin had ruined herself and plunged her family into disgrace for him? Why, he was such a short and slight man! Susan was on the taller side of average for her sex but she was nevertheless unaccustomed to stand eye to eye with a man in the way she was able to with Mr. Crawford. And those expressive, dark features - so elegant and pretty on his sister - were not so attractive on the gentleman. He cut an insignificant sort of figure, especially when put next to the broad bulk of Mr. Yates, who loomed over them all in his usual way. She had only met him briefly many years ago but he had seemed taller and more impressive in her memory.

What was she to say to him? She did not desire an introduction; indeed, Yates probably ought not to have done it. She could not see Julia’s expression but her silence was speech enough. Perhaps she could cut him, she could give him the cut direct and walk straight past him with her head held high and Fanny in her heart… except of course that she did not dare.

In the event, he was the first to speak. The awkwardness and evident embarrassment of his address as well as its obvious insincerity as he reacquainted himself with Mrs. Yates and professed a delight to meet Miss Price gave Susan the courage to respond with a clear and direct look, “How do you do, Mr. Crawford? But we have met before in Portsmouth five years ago; perhaps you do not recall.”

Surprise crossed his face. “I do recall our meeting. How could I forget?”

How indeed? Later, she would think of many retorts, albeit none of them suitable to be spoken aloud. Instead she found herself asking if was enjoying the play. 

“With reservations,” he replied, his gaze never straying from hers. “And yourself, Miss Price?”

“Tolerably,” said Susan at the same time as Mr. Yates jumped in to inform them that this was Miss Price’s first ever visit to the theatre and how important it was that it was to such a wonderful production as The Distress’d Mother and had they ever seen anything so touching as Andromache’s tragic devotion?

“I find her a little too pious for my own taste,” interjected Miss Crawford. “I find myself drawn to Hermione and I cannot feel ashamed of it. But you have a very fine performance in Orestes for your first play, Miss Price. You have chosen well.”

Susan acknowledged that it was so and that she was very much looking forward to seeing him go mad in the final act. Yates declared there was no better actor anywhere in Europe and seemed on the point of anticipating the mad scene itself in the corridor when Julia finally roused herself to insist that the performance must be starting soon and hurried Susan back into the box, leaving the Crawfords behind to make of Mr. Yates’ paroxysms of dramatic enthusiasm what they would.

As for Susan, her spirit was disturbed by the meeting but she was determined that Mr. Crawford should not have any power over her - he had done quite enough damage by the Bertrams already for her to wish to give him any further satisfaction. Her attention should be devoted solely to the progress of the drama on stage before her. Nevertheless, it was strange to think that such a man should have been so captivating to both her cousins - he was not even handsome! And his address, well, there was nothing extraordinary about it. She could not understand it at all. And as for his view of the play, she could not help wondering over his reservations. What a very curious way to respond to her question which she had only asked out of politeness! Really, if he had reservations, he should at the least have said what they were! And so it was that at the end of several hours, when the play finally drew to a close, mad scene and all, having vowed that Mr. Crawford’s name should not even cross her mind, she found to her consternation she had thought of little else.

I like to think that Jane Austen would be pleased to know that me, a twenty-first century reader who has become long inured to the romantic drama that surrounds celebrities like paparazzi, still had her (likely expected) reaction to the developments surrounding Maria, Henry, and Julia.

*reads Mary’s letter alluding to some horrible rumor involving Henry and the Rushworths* 😲 😲 😲 What, was there a duel? Did Henry make a pass at Maria? Did they run away together? (no, that’s ridiculous, they wouldn’t do something that far beyond propriety...)

*reads the newspaper* Oh my gosh, they did!!! Well, at least this can’t get any worse-

*reads about Julia and Yates on their scandalously merry way to Gretna Green* 😱😱😱

This book has been a ride. And I still have two chapters to go!

[themalhambird]

why I never get significant amounts of writing done, or, a liveblog of my last three hours working on a Mansfield Park fanfic:

Trying to figure out Yates' family for Julia-meets-her-in-laws purposes:

-> he's "the younger son of a lord with a tolerable independence" (MP XIII)

And now I'm down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what Austen means when she says 'a lord'. If she meant an Earl/Viscount/Baron, she surely would have specified "the younger son of a[n] Earl/Viscount/Baron with a tolerable independence." The Law Lords come in too late for that to be applicable.

...The younger sons of Dukes and Marquesses were styled as "lord ---" so Yates could conceivably be the younger son of a younger son. It might be that it's the lord (Yates' father), and not Yates, who has a tolerable independence from his father/our Yates' grandfather. But Dukes and Marquesses seem too aristocratic for Austen's taste: she never seems to aim beyond Earls (Lord Ravenshaw, Colonel Fitzwilliam's father.) Besides, Yates has an estate of his own (MP XLVIII)

[side note- estate as in "area of land"; estate as in "all money and property [he] owned" in general; or estate as in "condition in life?"

"there was comfort in finding his estate rather more, and his debts much less, than [Sir Thomas] had feared" (MP XLVIII). "rather more" seems to fit best with money and property in general: condition would surely be "...his estate rather better." And an area of land might be found to be "[worth] rather more", but just finding it to be bigger in general doesn't mean anything. Like, an extra acre of farmland is one thing, but an extra acre of fetid swamp water isn't gonna generate much income. Besides, younger sons not having their own land is Kind Of A Thing in MP, and Julia's visit to some of Sir Thomas' relatives is attributed to "some view of convenience on Mr. Yates' account" (MP XLVII). "The cousins...live near Bedford Square" (MP XLV), a very fashionable address, and as Yates is described as fashionable and expensive (MP XIII), it seems feasible that Yates has a permanent residence in London, also near Bedford Square...?

And then again, 'Lord' may have been perfectly common parlance for Earl/Viscount/Baron when the specificity of the rank either doesn't matter, or would have been obvious to Austen's original readers thanks to context clues I've missed entirely. The lack of specificity could be deliberate, drawing attention to how little the family at Mansfield Park actually know about Yates. I assume that Yates' father is alive because otherwise why frame him as "younger son" instead of "younger brother"?

....*shakes Jane Austen* you could tell your relations that Mrs Norris' "great sum" she gave William was £1 but you couldn't give them a detailed Yates family tree???

...and then it finally occurred to me to just google "what is a Baron", at which point the OED tells me:

noun

1.a member of the lowest order of the British nobility. Baron is not used as a form of address, barons usually being referred to as ‘Lord’.

So, we learn two things: 1) Yates' father is a Baron [I'm 99% sure] , and 2) I make life far more complicated for myself than it needs to be.

Progress made: plausible existence of Baron Dad Yates (still alive) established. At least 1 brother (older) confirmed. Biologically speaking, can assume a mother also existed or exists.

Words Written: Big Fat 0

...now repeat a similar process for every even semi-significant detail. Like trying to decide whether Bedford Square itself was fashionable enough for Yates (no, but Grovsenor Square or nearby to Grovesnor Square, about 25 minutes away probably would be...)

#John Yates #Mansfield Park #my fic (sort of) #we know that Yates doesn't think much of parental claims #I'm imagining his father as Mr Woodhouse-esque and his mother as very Mrs Jennings-like. #Julia Bertram is going to get at least one parental figure who will hug her if I have to make them up myself #Firmly on team Yates and Julia making a strong go of it and being very happy

“But, aunt, she is really so very ignorant!—Do you know, we asked her last night which way she would go to get to Ireland; and she said, she should cross to the Isle of Wight. She thinks of nothing but the Isle of Wight, and she calls it the Island, as if there were no other island in the world. I am sure I should have been ashamed of myself, if I had not known better long before I was so old as she is. I cannot remember the time when I did not know a great deal that she has not the least notion of yet. How long ago it is, aunt, since we used to repeat the chronological order of the kings of England, with the dates of their accession, and most of the principal events of their reigns!”

I just love the conversation in Chapter 2 of Mansfield Park between Maria, Julia, and their mother and aunt about their cousin’s alleged stupidity. What it really reveals is how shallow and pointless their own education has been.

Fanny begins to answer the question by telling them how a ship sets sail from Portsmouth. What her cousins don’t understand is that Fanny is trying to impart real, specialist information. She’s from a naval family, she darn well knows how to sail to Ireland. Maria and Julia, however, know none of this so they assume it’s wrong. They were looking for the answer of the uninformed, probably a cardinal direction like northwest.

But what is really striking is that the adults don’t pick up on it either! They agree that Fanny is stupid, probably because their education has been similarly deficient. Lady Bertram and Mrs. Norris value being able to “tell the principal rivers in Russia” above real information about how the world works.

The Bertrams are superficially educated, but have no practical knowledge. Similarly, “They had been instructed theoretically in their religion, but never required to bring it into daily practice.” (Ch 48). The education at Mansfield had provided a veneer of intelligence and respectability with immorality and stupidity underneath. In the end, it was Fanny, whose education, morality, and judgement stood the test of time.

The Wickham Family Album: Volume IV

(Repost due to tumblr shenanigans.)

Cousins Miles and Benjamin have always got along well, and neither has any serious commitments, so it makes sense that after graduation they would find the perfect bachelor pad together.

Miles’s stats:

~ Gemini 5 / 7 / 5 / 6 / 6

~ Avant Garde / Bookworm / Dramatic / Schmoozer / Snob

~ OTH: Film & Literature

~ Favourite Colour(s): Yellow

~ Aspiration: Romance / Knowledge

~ Turn-ons/off: +Artistic / +Reserved / -Laid Back

~ Major: Physics (2.6)

~ LTW: Become Education Minister (it might seem an odd choice, but Miles is very passionate about Film & Literature, with very robust views on the subject, and a strong drive to pass on his enthusiasm and insight to others)

Benjamin’s stats:

~ Scorpio 9 / 6 / 6 / 7 / 8

~ Animal Lover / Easily Impressed / Perfectionist / Avant Garde / Kind

~ OTH: Arts & Crafts

~ Favourite Colour(s): Orange / Green

~ Aspiration: Knowledge / Popularity

~ Turn-ons/off: +Artistic / +Well-liked / -Indoorsy

~ Major: Art (3.1)

~ LTW: Paint a Masterpiece (thanks to @lamare-sims​ again!)

Miles gets on the phone to Anna straight away, to invite her to inaugurate the new bed.

Benjamin has a guest too - umm, Beth, I thought that you and Bertram were very much an item now?! Perhaps she simply couldn’t resist the opportunity to hook up with her first crush when it presented itself?

Look, you’ve only just graduated and you don’t even have jobs yet - how can you need a holiday already?

Umm, share and share alike, I guess?

Miles is having a bit less fun, outside.

I’m sure it isn’t anything that you haven’t see before, Benjamin!

Benjamin earns his keep by doing most of the cooking, and he’s becoming quite proficient at it.

A hot tub is an essential investment for any self-respecting aspiring playboys. (Anna seems to be ruining the mood by reminding everyone that life is short.)

And it certainly sees a lot of action...

from some rather unexpected quarters too!

I’m guessing it’s never been quite like that with fiancé Crawford!

Yes, their free-and-easy lifestyle is proving to be everything that the guys hoped it would be.

Except that deep down, Benjamin can’t help feeling a slight sense of unease - is this the real him? Or maybe his disastrous relationship with Clara has affected him more than he realised, and made him too wary of commitment?

Maybe it’s time to rethink his priorities in life...

And with that, Benjamin’s Aspiration is changed from Knowledge / Romance to Knowledge / Popularity, which it always should have been, but I made a mistake when I first assigned his Aspiration as a teen. Sorry, Benjamin!

[fictionadventurer]

Imagine a Mansfield Park adaptation that treated the book like a classic children's story. Something like Little Women or A Little Princess, that stays with the child's perspective as she endures hardship and grows up.

Start with intense focus on ten-year-old Fanny's home life--her bond with William, her care for the younger kids, the increasing desperation of their poverty. The announcement of her going to Mansfield would be the earth-shattering event that takes her away from the familiar home and into this frightening new world. At Mansfield, the child's perspective shows it as a place of enchantment and of terrors. We see Fanny awed by the elegant house. See how intimidating Uncle Thomas is even as he tries to be kind. Feel relieved at Aunt Bertram's careless kindness. Watch Julia and Maria "befriend" Fanny by telling her how uncultured she is and then leaving her to play by herself. Get crushed by Mrs. Norris' incessant reminders that Fanny should be grateful for every circumstance that makes her miserable. And through it all, William's request that Fanny write to him becomes more and more urgent--he asked her to do it and she can't, and what if she's lost him completely? Edmund's offer of help should be an intense moment of triumph, the first high point of the story, that highlights how his kindness profoundly impacts Fanny.

As Fanny grows up, the focus remains on the coming-of-age angle of the story. The subplot of the play becomes much more understandable to modern audiences if it's framed as a girl struggling between honoring a parent's wishes versus fitting in with friends. Fanny's coming-out ball is a huge turning point that marks her transformation from girl to woman. Returning to her childhood home highlights how much she's grown. And her final choice in the love triangle is Fanny choosing the type of life she wants to lead.

It might be too much for one movie--or require the downplay of some subplots--but it would be a better way to highlight the strengths of this book, instead of failing to make it fit the mold of other Austen books.

#mansfield park #jane austen #peeked at the first couple of chapters and came away with this conclusion #this is absolutely not the right time to pick up this book #but i've found that each year i dive into an austen book and get a new perspective #i've done persuasion and na and s&s and i think this year is mp's turn #even if it takes me a long time because of other obligations

Maria Bertram is engaged to a Mr James Rushworth, who is immensely rich, but also immensely stupid. Her aunt Norris loves to take the family to visit Sotherton where he lives, but Maria can hardly bear to talk to him.

Maria is much more interested in Henry Crawford, a charming sim who has been calling at Mansfield and helping Mr Rushworth renovate his estate. Julia is very interested in him too.

@crossedwithblue prefacing this with a warning that its zero-research only vibes but here is how I would want hair if I was doing a TV series based around Mansfield Park. Sorry if its a bit sloppy I'm ill and it's gone midnight :

-Sir Thomas- Wig/close cropped blonde hair. I want him wearing his wig in most scenes but I need him to have it off when he's offering to break Maria's engagement to Rushworth.

-Lady Bertrm- covered with fancy caps.

-Mrs Norris- second hand fron Lady Bertram

-Maria and Julia- identical until their rivalry over Henry Crawford gets going, then diverging in to two different styles. Julia's hairstyle returns to "normal " Once she's over Crawford, but Maria's "heart eyes at Henry" do is here to stay

-Fanny- Good cases have been made for Fanny having short hair  and I could go with that, but pre-haircut (and post if it grows out again) her hairstyle needs to be something that she could do herself.

-Edmund's hair- your classic Darcy or Bingley, but blonde. You want to give the impression that Edmund's not "in" to fashion as such, but he's aware and without slavishly following the new fads of society, he keeps abreast enough to cut a respectable figure. He's not flashy, he's just....a little more vain than perhaps he realises.

-Tom: long, slightly curling. Tied out of his face for the most part. Think Romantic Poet/Gothic hero. It might not be wholly fashionable but it suits him and it draws attention. Bonus points if he's nicked one of his father's wigs to play the rhyming butler and has that on his head when Julia runs in to tell them all that Sir Thomas has come home.

Rushworth- canonically speaking, dude's good looking. Fashionable, well cared for hair that suits his face. Brief attempt at wearing a wig that matches Sir Thomas' after their first meeting

Mary Crawford: dark, pretty, stylish. Her hairstyle should change fairly frequently- Mary tries new things, and she gets bored. The Mary of London should not wear her hair drastically differently to the Mary of Mansfield, however- the same dos, though perhaps a bit more polished or dressed with accessories, should appear in the City as the country.

Henry Crawford- Edmund's, but black. Possibly a bit floofier. Girls who are inclined toward men generally want to run their fingers through it or something idk...
