I'm ashamed to admit I really enjoy Darcy in Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. Can we show love to Sam Riley?
R.I.P Sam Riley's Darcy the boy could beat a Zombie and a Collins (Mr Darcy (P&P&Z) Vs Mr Collins (P&P&Z) ) but he couldn't beat a Bingley (Mr Bingley (1995) Vs Mr Darcy (P&P&Z))

Is Darcy reprehensible for not warning people/doing something about Wickham? I've seen the idea around in fandom & I'd love to know your thoughts. It always strikes me as being a pretty non-Georgian sentiment & Darcy's intervention later is presented as unusual rather than percived as something he should have done earlier.
I wouldn't say reprehensible, no, and his handling of the Lydia situation definitely goes above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect of him. Even Elizabeth doesn't expect it after discovering he was at the wedding—her speculations about his involvement that throw him in the best possible light still fall short of what he's actually done.
As for what he might have done earlier, I think it's ... complicated.
For one, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place with regard to his responsibility to safeguard Georgiana vs a wider social responsibility. It's easy to say that, of course, the social good should come before any particular individual, and that publicizing Wickham's character would have been preferable.
But personally, I think it's very understandable that Darcy, at age 27, considered his 15-year-old sister and ward who had just been preyed upon by a man of his own age, considered that she chose to tell him what was going on while believing herself in love, thought about the likely very long-term consequences to her reputation, and went "nope."
(There's the possibility of publicizing Wickham's character without bringing Georgiana into it, but if he boxes Wickham into a corner where he has nothing to lose, odds are good that Wickham himself will smear her reputation, so ethically, there's not much difference.)
This rationale is basically what he gives in the letter. Understandable doesn't mean right, but reprehensible just seems way too strong to me for someone in a position that difficult in that social context.
It's worth noting, I'll say, that his silence is something he feels the need to explain, even if it's debatable whether saying something during the novel would have made much of a difference among the Meryton crowd specifically. He might have tried to mediate it through Bingley, but he has repeatedly told Bingley about Wickham's real character while withholding the Georgiana episode, and Bingley tried to pass on a warning (even Caroline did in her way), but couldn't remember the details that Darcy had told him previously.
It's also worth noticing that Darcy's justification seems sufficient to both Elizabeth and Jane at the time, and presumably is shared by Colonel Fitzwilliam (who definitely knows about it and, given his reaction to Elizabeth's slight reference to Georgiana, appears to be 100% onboard with protecting Georgiana's reputation as her co-guardian). And even after the Lydia disaster and without knowing anything about Georgiana's involvement, sensible Mrs Gardiner dismisses the idea that anyone but Wickham and Lydia should be held responsible, and specifically, that Darcy should.
Also notably, although Darcy holds himself responsible in his conversation with the Gardiners, and explains his greater knowledge of Wickham and Mrs Younge, Mrs Gardiner remarks that he doesn't explain what the cause of disapprobation actually was—so even at his most self-critical, he's still trying to protect Georgiana as far as the circumstances allow.
I don't think his penitence is just a cover for his "real" motivation of helping Elizabeth, for what it's worth. In the novel, Darcy says he wasn't thinking of her family but only of her, but he also says that he won't deny that his feelings for her "add[ed] force to the other inducements which led me on," which I suspect is a reference to his feelings of culpability. But no other character considers him responsible or finds his rationale for silence unsatisfactory, so I do think the kind of take you mention exceeds what is really supported by the novel, or would be a common perspective at the time.
It's not that any criticism of how he handled the situation is excessive or ahistorical, but—like, there was a viral post about his "toxic masculinity" with regard to this that a bunch of people sent me, and I thought it was, let's say, painfully misguided in terms of the novel and its social context. And I do run into takes like that reasonably often, and they very rarely acknowledge that a) he is not uniquely accountable for what multiple people know, and b) that his claim to guilt is immediately thrown into doubt by Mrs Gardiner.
So, uh, that's my take on it, and sorry it took so long to get back to you!

Which ship do you think would be Steve's favorite? If you're into bridgerton of course. He would've loved the drama and tension from Kate and Anthony but ultimately I think he'd love the story between queen Charlotte and king George. He'd be so enamoured with Charlotte's devotion to George as he was struggling with his mental illness. He'd cry during her monologue " I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth, I will tell you where you stand, do you love me?" Also the way George speaks about Charlotte is so Steve. He never says you look beautiful or breathe taking, he says you ARE beautiful, breathtaking. He calls Charlotte his beautiful bride even after he goes mad🥺
Steve would definitely point to the screen and say that's us to bug😭
Sorry for such a long ask but I love bridgerton so much it's not even funny. ( Steve would relate to Colin because he also can be clueless and says shit he doesn't really mean)
hed def be enamored with charlotte and george i think because to him george is so fucked up and has so many issues and yet charlotte is like !! i’ll take care of you !!! i choose to love you !!! youre my choice !!! and this ultimately strikes something in steve :((( the idea of someone willingly choosing to love their partner despite everything ugh my boy would cry
i think her also like daphne and the duke because they also had a very interesting dynamic of “i have to take care of you youre my responsibility and it pains me” and steve eats that UP !!!

Succession?
Oh boy. Ok. Definitely haven’t seen this one.
It’s a show about terrible white collar people working in some big company super high up that they’ve all got some inheritance or connection to - a family? One is a redhead called “shiv fucking roy” that is Ultimate Girlboss (I’d bet on her if she were in the hunger games). Shiv looks like she’d shank you with a shiv for letting a business deal fall through. Another looks like he could be standing by a service station at 3am with a blunt or cigarette, but will be preaching the right way to breathe with buzzwords but also has got a sugar mama situation going on or something. I don’t know his name. Roman? Ronan? Roderick. Roberto. Bobert. Boman. There’s this lanky guy called Greg that’s connected somehow but isn’t high up UNTIL Matthew Mcfayden as Baby Girl (I’ve never seen the word babygirl so much at once what has he bewitched you all with) becomes Obsessed with him and proposes marriage business partnership. Good for them. I hope they figure it out. There’s not a lot of redeeming qualities to be seen because hey this is a family in the 1% and all white collar classist peeps but it’s also not shying away from the fact that these characters are very human and very real, and weirdly endearing, which is maybe why y’all are like “yes the horrors but have you considered that they’re baby”. There’s a shitty father. I know this because 1. Yes there was a gifset with him mentioned, 2. How can there not be a shitty father at the root of this entire mess. This smells of shifty father. Uhhhhh they’re all trying to get the top dog position of this company their family owns???? It’s musical chairs but for rich people.
LMAO how did I do?

Me and my friend are listening to Pride and Prejudice together I don't quite get the language do you know any helpful tips?
- 🦑💮
Yes! I personally find that reading the paper version helps more just to see how the language is like, so that may be helpful to follow along with. I also recommend looking at an annotated version of the book, as they often have translations of time period-specific phrases and explain historical nuances that you would not know otherwise. All in all, don’t rush and take your time.

Not a question. But you have a pretty name
Aw, thank you so much! I didn't use to like it as a kid, but I've gotten over that now. My mom named me after Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice!

PICK A CARD: “when i look into your eyes, i know it's real.”
★ which romantic tropes will you and your fp embody?
DISCLAIMER: 18+ mature themes. take what resonates leave what doesn’t. this was such a cute idea – thanks for requesting this anon. 💞 i hope you all enjoy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— PILE ONE.
Tumblr media
tropes → star-crossed lovers, forbidden love & opposites attract.
there’s a distinct polarity in you and your fp’s personalities & backgrounds, pile 1. you’re more reserved, cautious and patient and they’re more free-spirited and spontaneous. they say whatever they want and deal with the consequences later; this isn’t in a bad way either, i’m more so picking up that they like to stand up and fight for what’s right. they could be an activist of some sort. they’re confident and brave, and you’re really going to admire that. as far as finances go, this person has MONEY, like big money! they either come from money or they are in a profession that pays extremely well and that’s where i see the forbidden love trope coming in to play.
remember how allie in ‘the notebook’ comes from a wealthy, privileged background, while noah is portrayed as more working-class? the contrast in their backgrounds and personalities added depth to their relationship and created a lot of tension and conflict, but ultimately it made their love story more compelling and dynamic – that’s what i see here with you and your fp. you’re tired of over-working yourself for low pay and working jobs that don’t fulfill you financially, mentally and emotionally. you feel stuck…wondering when things are going to change. i see someone looking out of a window in a house, there’s a strong sense of longing and their eyes look sad. they’re waiting for someone or something to arrive, but when? you’ve been telling yourself to keep going and keep pushing through, and then you will see progress and reward in the long run – very saturn/saturnian energy.
it’s interesting because you’re looking for a way out of your situation and your person is looking for an adventure. your fp is very comfortable financially, but they’re lacking in their love life. right now they’re very much single and they’re fine with that, but that fiery energy that burns inside them can’t be dimmed for long. when they cross paths with you they’re gonna be awestruck like “whoa! who is that?” lol. your fp might have some sagittarius/fire sign placements, or they just carry themselves very pompous and matter-of-fact, which might throw you off at first. that’s why i was also picking up on that opposites attract trope because princess belle & the beast from ‘beauty and the beast’ immediately came to mind. belle loved her books and independence, which was a stark contrast with the beast’s initial gruff and hot-tempered nature. you might think they’re a bit arrogant at first, but once you get to know them you’ll understand that there’s layers to them.
their family plays a big part in their life, which ties into the forbidden love trope because i’m ngl their family lowkey can be a lot to handle. as i said before, some of your fps come from money so some of their families might be a little snooty and strict like allie’s mom from ‘the notebook’ but i think with patience and time – you and your fp will learn to not give a f*ck what their family or anybody else thinks. this relationship is destined and you’re meant to show each other the different aspects/complexities of life and love. the energy is very reminiscent of mr. darcy and elizabeth from ‘pride and prejudice’ like remember how much longing and yearning it took for them to finally be together?! it was sooooooo worth it.
additional messages → wealthy, 2 years from now, ego, aries, very lowkey, the blackest day by lana del rey & cultural differences.
— PILE TWO.
Tumblr media
tropes → second chance & age gap.
your fp is dominant af, pile 2. they possess everything within reach, and they’re admired by many. you may establish boundaries with them from the very beginning and they will respect that, they value you and wouldn’t dare do anything to hurt you. however, despite the love, passion, and devotion that will be present in this relationship, there will also be a need for compromise. it seems that this relationship will fulfill your hopes and dreams, but it will also come with its share of responsibilities. in the early stages, both you and your fp will feel a strong urge to make your relationship official and commit to each other. whatever you need or want – they will provide for you. you may not have expected to fall for them, but you couldn’t fight the obvious chemistry between you two. i picked up on the age gap trope mainly because they have provider energy. for some of you, they might already have a kid/kids? your energy feels a little bit more flighty and young. you like to be in your own personal space most of the time, and not everyone understands that, but your fp will.
actually, i think the idea of compromise i was picking up on earlier has to do with your personal space. you might be a bit of an introvert and the idea of constantly entertaining someone 24/7 and not having a moment for yourself is a bit jarring to you. now i’m not saying this person is taking your autonomy away, what i’m saying is that there has to be some sort of balance with the give and take in this connection. it’s reminding me of olivia pope and fitz from ‘scandal’ like one minute he’s showing her the house he had built for them in vermont and then the next scene she’s crying that she needs space and they can’t be together – like OLIVIA what’s it gonna be?! it’s like your heart is saying yes but your mind is saying no.
you’re gonna have to use your discernment and figure out if this is what you want – true commitment. it’s gonna take trust and dedication to make this work, pile 2. it might get to a point where y’all take a break and you choose to see someone else, and then you realize how much of a greater difference your fp makes in your life. they’re your home. that's the second chance trope coming into play. wow, pile 2. this is a very dynamic and complex relationship, but that’s what keeps you two going and loving each other through thick and thin.
additional messages → infrunami by steve lacy, you will meet through friends, extremely dedicated, workaholic, ass kisser, there’s someone in your inner circle you need to cut off, moving abroad, younger sibling & love drought by beyoncé.
— PILE THREE.
Tumblr media
tropes → high school sweethearts & enemies to lovers.
your fp is the life of the party, pile 3…sometimes to a fault lol. they’re capable of being responsible and making good decisions, but sometimes they just say f*ck it and wild out. they can be impulsive and unpredictable at times which is quite the opposite from you. i’m picturing haley and nathan from ‘one tree hill’ and kat and patrick from ‘10 things i hate about you’ AND no by meghan trainer just randomly started playing in my head. i’m honestly so amused by this energy cause you’re like “nope! you’re not gonna fuck my life up.” being all dramatic 🤭 and they’re like “what?! me? i would never!” lol there’s gonna be a lot of witty banter between you both. your friends are gonna encourage you to just give them a chance, cause it’s obvious that you do like them — you just can’t stand how “friendly” they are.
your fp is extroverted as hell and loves a good social outing, whereas you on the other hand, rather curl up in bed with a good book or binge-watch your favorite shows/movies in the comfort of your own home. there’s this energy of “been there, done that.” the party scene just isn’t it for you anymore, and you’re content with that. this connection will really help your fp mature and get more in tune with their emotions, instead of masking them behind reckless behavior and nonchalance. that high school sweethearts trope really comes through strongly, not in the sense that y’all are actually in high school, but that nathan & haley vibe – that puppy love! once y’all are together, nobody can tell y’all shit. you and your fp will RIDE for each other.
nathan and haley definitely had their ups and downs, but they always found a way to make it work once they put their egos aside. haley brought out a side of nathan that nobody else got to experience but her. sometimes butting heads is necessary, it helps you confront things within yourself that you don’t always want to acknowledge. you’re so nurturing pile 3, you bring water to their fire. i don’t see you immediately jumping into this relationship, but that’s the beauty of it. that’s where the enemies to lovers trope kicks in, you’ll have to warm up to them first before you truly understand who they are at the core. your fp is used to fast-pace, hot n’ heavy, fleeting relationships but this is stable. this is pure. they’ll realize you can’t rush true love like this, it’s the journey and build-up that makes it so magical.
additional messages → 1st house placements, sagittarius, very soon, get out of your head, nice and slow by usher & family feud.
— PILE FOUR.
Tumblr media
tropes → friends to lovers & forced proximity.
your fp has very high-energy, pile 4. i feel out of breath like i just got done doing 8 different tasks at once lol they might be very athletic or they just like to keep themselves busy. you and your fp are opposites, but the more you get to know each other, you will begin to realize that you have a lot in common – i’m hearing that you two will have a lot to talk about. sometimes you might find yourself holding back from saying things that you want to say in fear of judgement but with this person that anxiety goes out the window. they want to hear your thoughts and ideas, because they truly value your wisdom and knowledge on certain topics that they might not have been aware of. i’m hearing that they want to know your lore lol this is too cute. maybe you’re really into movies? marvel? fashion? idk there’s something very specific that you could go on and on about for hours and hours.
that’s why i picked up on that friends to lovers trope because i feel like they will show immediate interest in you and want to pursue something more, but you’ll be like WOAH hold it there…let’s build on this and see where it can go, no rush. i’m ngl pile 4 they might have a bit of a reputation or vibe of being a player…which will make you hesitant as to whether or not you want to take this seriously. i don’t even think you two normally run in the same circles – this is more like a chance meeting. yup here goes that forced proximity trope, you’ll probably meet them in some sort of unconventional way and be “forced” to spend time together.
you and your fp kind of remind me of holly and eric from ‘life as we know it’ which is a very underrated but amazing rom-com. i don’t think you’ll initially hate them per se, you’ll just be a bit cautious of them and wonder if they’re actually being genuine. however, by spending time with your fp, you will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for them; which will then lead to you falling for them and establishing a close bond. you two might’ve gotten off on the wrong foot and then after a proper conversation with them you’ll be like: huh…you’re not so bad after all. there’s this flirty energy that comes in the form of sly/sarcastic remarks, and you’ll come to realize that it’s their own way of saying “i really like you.” it’s giving 2000s rom-com lol hot n cold by katy perry just came to mind.
the sexual tension between you two will be palpable, your friends will be like just f*ck already!!! this relationship will have it’s fair share of ups and downs, but that’s what will make it worth fighting for; nothing and no one is perfect and you will learn that in this relationship. no one could ever compare to you in your fp’s eyes – they will always have love for you even in the moments where you two don’t see eye to eye. the difference in you and your fp’s personalities will be what draws you two together even more.
additional messages → jealousy, jealousy by olivia rodrigo, lots of traveling, you manifested this, different lifestyles but we’ll make it work, your angel guides got your back & when one door closes, another one opens.

More like who the most annoying female lead is going to be because sure Mr Darcy was a jerk but the male lead from Emma was amazing he was nothing but respectful to her.
Hello anon!! So, you are definitely right. I'm powering through Emma right now and I can see what you're saying. Emma is a delight, albeit a slightly annoying one; while Knightley is a great person. But the tag just resonated with me while writing the rest of the post!
Having said that, I love and appreciate both Knightly and Darcy (not to mention how much I adore Lizzie).
Much love to you, dear anon! Come back anytime to discuss all things Austen with me, as it seems I've jumped onto the bandwagon and I'm not getting off it anytime soon. ♥️

Just read your Steven headcanons and I’m currently sobbing in the corner. Could I request a headcanon list where he actually has a partner? Like a person who will hold him when he cries and just GIVE HIM THE AFFECTION HE DESERVES 😭😭😭
Anon, OFC U CAN! I'm feeling super romantic today, so consider yourself lucky *winks* now, enjoy your request!^^
STEVEN GRANT WITH A S/O HEADCANONS.
Tumblr media
• Dating Steven is like dating Mr. Darcy in real life. He's a gentleman, respectful in your whises and boundaries, and doesn't indulge in things you don't want to. He actually cares. And of course, he loves you. He will do anything to show you how much you mean to him.
• His love language is physical contact and words of affirmation. Both are important to him. He's a very cuddly lover. Always stealing glances, whispering how lovely you are today, while even brushing his calloused thumb on your hand palm.
• In his no moments, he needs to be held. Someone needs to remind him that he matters and that it is okay to let out the bottled-up emotions. We know his childhood and Marc's. Hold him tight next to your chest, let him hear your heartbeat and caress gently his hair. "You're good, Steven, you're good. I'm here. I won't hurt you like the others did."
• You'll share cute moments in the rain, picturing yourselves in a 'La La Land' scene!!
• Or also quiet moments where, the two of you, are cuddling under a warm blanket and reading the books you've bought while being on a "bookstore date".
• Won't mind if you both share your shampoos. So you can smell each other perfume and giggle about it.
• If you are that close to each other and move in his apartment, he'll probably buy another fish and put it in Gus' tank. So now he'll have another companion and won't be alone anymore!
• At the beginning of your relationship, Marc and Jake weren't absolutely fond of you. Don't blame them. They've been backstabbed many times (let's mention the comics too...) and don't want Steven, the most fragile, to experience something like this anymore. Give them time, let them be close to you, and know you, and they will open with each small step.
• If you're a student, he would help you with your assignments/homework. Prepare you your favourite drink. But if you need to be alone and focus on your papers, he'll shush himself up with no hesitations.
• Your guys' official song is: Late Night Talking by Harry Styles.
• He prefers to be held in bed. He is the little spoon. Enjoys your body's warmth and nuzzles his nose in your neck, sometimes leaving pecks on it and smiling at the thought of being so lucky to have found a loyal and loving partner as you.
