I keep forgetting to post this so here you go before I forget again!!!
It’s the Pines grandparents!! With bonus smol Henry and the teensiest twins ^^
Also I realised I forgot to write the grandma’s name in the main text the first time I drew her, so for anyone who didn’t see the tags on that post, her name is Beverly :)
Henry: Can you believe what that piece of shit did? THE UNGRATEFUL WHORE!!!
Gold: Uh, which whore are we talking about this time?
Henry: Kovit! That zannie walked out on me! ME! I fucking made him!
Gold: Oh! Kovit quit?
Henry: NO! He didn't quit! It's worse! He MOVED!!!
Henry: He thinks he can just walk in here, work, and then go home somewhere else? Can you believe that?!?!?!?!
That poll I just reblogged is like a diamond drill bit to my soul.
RUMBELLE SHOULD HAVE HAD A DAUGHTER.
Rumbelle should have had a daughter.
RUMBELLE. SHOULD. HAVE. HAD. A. DAUGHTER.
Gideon and Bae (and Alice), I love you to the depths of my chilly heart, but Rumbelle should also have had a daughter. Rumple and Belle were born to have a little girl.
They was robbed.
WE was robbed. Mugged at gunpoint in an alley. Our houses burgled. Our 401(k)s cleaned out.
Aurora/Margot Gold, my beloved. Claire/Drizella/Ivy Gold and Dawn/Anastasia Gold, my darlings. Matilda Merlin "Tilly" Gold, my sweet baby.
Persuasion 22 is the Morbius to the recency cinematic universe.
Do you like your heroines moved from one plot point from the next with no choice or agency? Do you like to be TOLD a character is this and that and never see her ever choose to be this or that? Do you like constant tone changes so you can neither laugh nor yearn? Do you want all historical context for people’s choices flattened? Watch Twilight, it’s less cringey.
Seriously the cutest Benwick you’ve ever seen only for him to barely speak. Criminal.
You want modern go full Fire Island: Change the locations, change the era, change the constraints not the characters.
My final comment is to look up what a baronet is and why it matters: they were bought titles, a sort of noble bootlicking for rich people but still not enough to get you access to making law like nobles, to make it worse many of them were bought by paying for the occupation of the plantation of Ulster northern ireland. Oh yeah, Austen’s political.
