Michael Sheen: No One Except Those From Wales Can Pronounce This 

What are your favourite p&p fics set in the regency era? x

Necessity is the Mother of Invention: An unusual first meeting between Elizabeth, Bingley and Darcy leads them down a different path.

Being Mrs Darcy: Being Mrs Darcy is a Regency, forced marriage scenario and is rated for mature audiences only and the angst-o-meter is set to high. Remember what Darcy is like in canon pre-Hunsford? I took him at his words to Elizabeth in Chapter 58: “I have been a selfish being all my life (…). [My parents] allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own.” How, then, would he feel if he had a wife thrust upon him – a woman he did not know and whose circumstances in life were very much beneath his own? How will Elizabeth react to being forced to marry a man she doesn’t know and who very clearly does not think highly of her or her family?

Of Time Gone By: A tragic childhood illness changed the life of Fitzwilliam Darcy. When he meets a young gentlewoman named Elizabeth Bennet, his world is transformed again.

The Perfect Gentleman

The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy: The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy is the story of what happens when someone discovers that they are not the person they always thought they were. Twenty-odd years before the start of our story, a terrible crime was committed, leaving one family grieving and another with a new family member. When a long-ago mistake is corrected, what will it mean for everyone involved – those that now lose someone they love, those that regain their missing family member and, most of all, the person struggling with who they thought they were and who they really are.

Seen and Unseen: Fitzwilliam Darcy is immediately intrigued by the witty and fiery woman whose causes him to be thrown from his horse. After this first meeting, Darcy realizes that there is more to the spirited Elizabeth Bennet than his first impressions could ever have revealed.

A Woman Scorned: Every woman wants Mr. Darcy. But Josephine will stop at nothing. One woman’s campaign becomes the ultimate test of E&D’s love…spooky & angsty, but actually pretty damn funny too. Rated mature for sexual content, suspense and occasional language. (WIP)

Tempt Me: Vampire AU 

To Save and Protect: The story begins from the morning Darcy delivers his letter to Elizabeth. Darcy finds out that Elizabeth may be in danger. Being a gentleman in love, he sets out to rescue Elizabeth despite the fact that he knows she hates him. Our hero and heroine get to experience fear, pain, and passion together. Their adventures help them understand themselves and each other better.

A Lady’s Reputation:

A Most Convenient Mishap: A comedy of errors ensues when Elizabeth comes to nurse her sister at Netherfield, beginning with her trunk being placed in the wrong room.

Mr Darcy Steals a Kiss: An alternative view of might have happened in the weeks leading up to Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage.

Five Questions: What if Darcy’s letter caused Elizabeth to question everything she thought she knew? If she was so completely wrong about Darcy, what else did she misconstrue in her life? Would he give her a chance to understand him?

Some Like it Wild: Elizabeth runs away disguised as a young man in response to Mr. Bennet’s insistence she marry Mr. Collins. She asks Darcy for help. He fears for her safety, and the two travel to Pemberley on a roadtrip to happiness.

Rumour Has It: What if Mrs. Philips had gotten it wrong? What if the rumour of Darcy’s worth had been seriously underestimated?

Wholly Unconnected to Me: Dr. Bennet, Lady Catherine’s personal physician, has brought his family to live in the shadow of Rosings park to benefit from the attentions of his patroness. Headstrong Elizabeth seems to thwart the great lady at every turn, but for the sake of Anne, Elizabeth is forgiven–until she refuses to turn her back on Mr. Darcy.

A Case of Some Delicacy: In this what-if story, Mr. Collins’ visit begins about a month earlier than canon, and what a difference that month makes! Since the Bennets have not yet met Mr. Bingley, Mrs. Bennet is nothing but encouraging for a match between Mr. Collins and her eldest daughter. Elizabeth cannot sit by while the happiness of her most beloved sister is sacrificed for the good of the family, but keeping Jane away from the fawning parson is a full-time job. Elizabeth receives help from an unexpected ally. The other Bennet sisters all play roles in the altered events in Hertfordshire as well, some of them in surprising ways. Eavesdropping abounds, secret partnerships are formed, matchmakers and matchbreakers run rampant and general hijinks ensue …

Kidnapped: First Lizzy had learned of Mr. Darcy’s hand in breaking Jane’s heart, and then he had offered the most insulting marriage proposal in history. Could a day get worse? Only if she were to be threatened at sword-point, tied up, and whisked away by a rogue, with only the world’s most arrogant man to watch over her. Luckily, that wasn’t very likely to happen….

Childhood Impressions: Part One of the Elizabeth series, in which Lizzy and her cohort, Fitzwilliam Darcy, travel the English countryside in search of mayhem and mischief.

Mr Bennet’s Daughter: Sequel to Childhood Impressions. Misunderstandings sunder the childhood friendship of Darcy and Elizabeth. Now an independent young woman, Lizzy must work to regain her old friend – who has become the cold-hearted master of Pemberley. Meanwhile, Georgiana falls in love with her piano master and Jane falls in love with Bingley.

OH MY GOD! This is amazing!!

nobody was impressed with this cause they thought it was a photo so i spent like 50 hours painting it for nothing

Yep. True!

Aries relish in becoming somebody’s ‘best friend’. There is no bigger compliment you could dispense to an Arian than regarding them as the most special person you know

Why are you determined to make me reread Pride and Prejudice for the umpteen-zillionth time?

Did someone say reread Pride and Prejudice for the umpteen-zillionth time?!

The notes for this post are GOLD!

little (100% canon) things i love about the end of pride & prejudice that don’t usually make adaptations:

Lizzy offers to burn The Letter because Darcy’s embarrassed about how bitter he probably sounded when he wrote it

Darcy tells Lizzy that he told Bingley he was wrong about how Jane felt. Lizzy (parphr): “Did you decide that for yourself or were you just going off what I told you at Hunsford?” Darcy, the stubbornest nerd: “No, I figured it out for myself” Lizzy, sarcastically: “okay, Darcy”

When Lizzy tells Jane she’s in love with Darcy, Jane asks her if she’s joking six times

Next day: Darcy and Bingley show up at the house. Mrs Bennet’s upset that Bingley always brings Darcy. To get rid of him, she tells Kitty and Lizzy to take him on a walk. Bingley: “Kitty looks sick. Maybe Lizzy and Darcy should go…….. by themselves” Mrs Bennet: “I’m sorry Lizzy you must find a way to survive this” Lizzy, sarcastically: “Oh nooooooo”

 Direct quote, Mr. Bennet on Darcy saving Lydia: “It will save me a world of trouble and economy. Had it been your uncle’s doing, I must and would have paid him; but these violent young lovers carry every thing their own way. I shall offer to pay [Darcy] to-morrow; he will rant and storm about his love for you, and there will be an end of the matter.”

Lizzy writes a friendly, clever letter to her aunt and uncle that’s included in the text, the next line is “Darcy’s letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style”. The text of Darcy’s letter is omitted

Jane and Bingley move in next door to Lizzy and Darcy

Top 5 Shows Girl Meets World Fans Who Miss That Show Should Check Out

So many Girl Meets World fans out there miss this amazing show. I do too. However upon trying to fill the void in my heart that Girl Meets Wold left me, I can say without a doubt that I have found five great family television series that have definitely helped me miss GMW a little less. Below are those five TV shows that I definitely feel hard core Girl Meets World fans will enjoy. Please share so many other GMW fans can have the chance to check out these series as well.

5. The Kicks - This ten episode long series focuses on a high school age female soccer player who moves to a new school and has to adjust to living in a new community and has to fit in with a new soccer team. The series is basically a five hour long sports movie but it does feature very relatable and realistic teenage girls. Plus the show is still interesting for all members of the family as well since the main characters’ parents and younger brother get plenty of screen time too experiencing their own interesting side stories and character development. It’s a simple show but it’s not stupid or dumbed down for kids, so it’s a pretty solid watch. *Available on Amazon Prime Video.

4. Sydney to the Max - This recently premiered series focuses on a young single girl named Sydney being raised by her single father as she navigates the simple and somewhat major problems that come from growing up in middle school. However the unique factor of the show is that Sydney’s father: Max gets plenty of focus as well since every episode features flashbacks to when he was a kid in the 90′s, thus showing viewers of all ages how much preteens have and have not changed in the last three decades. While most episodes feature simple sitcom plots, the strength of the show is the strong bond between Sydney and her father Max (and also Sydney’s super fun grandmother). The family of the show genuinely cares for each other and it often results in some very genuine and wonderful heart felt moments. *Available to watch on Disney Now.

3. Just Add Magic - This epic fifty episode long fantasy series focuses on three middle school age girls who come into the possession of a magical book that provides them with recipes to create magical food that can create major spells and curses on those that eat them. While the premise for this show sounds strange, this series is surprisingly one of the most solid children’s shows ever made in TV history. After the pilot episode (which is a little cringe worthy at times), the show begins to evolve into an epic fantasy mystery show. The mysteries are actually very well handled and the show’s mythology is very intriguing and concise. Plus the three girls of the show become three very intelligent young women that become great role models for female viewers watching. It’s a show with plenty of amazing surprises, surprisingly super smart writing, and great characters any one should check out. *Available on Amazon Prime Video.

2. Andi Mack - In this hit Disney series that has gained a huge following, a girl named Andi Mack’s entire world is shattered when she learns the woman she grew up thinking was her older sister was actually her mother who became pregnant with her when she was a teen. From this point onward the show becomes the story of figuring out what a family is as both daughter and young mother have to figure out their new roles as they both slowly mature and learn to become the type of responsible person they’re supposed to be at their current age. On top of that, the show tackles all sorts of realistic issues modern young people face in this day and age such as communicating with those with disabilities, teens having possession of guns, panic attacks, and dealing with peers coming out as gay. It may not be a show for very young viewers (and honestly in later episodes it begins to get a bit soap-operay with maybe too many love triangle sub-plots), but the show definitely addresses some terrific and intelligently complex mature life lessons that Disney has been long overdue at addressing. *Available to watch on Disney Now. 

1. Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street - Despite the strangely long title, this is one of the most solid and best written family shows of all time. The show focuses on a boy named Gortimer along with his two best friends Mel and Ranger (and eventually many more kids) who go about their normal lives in a seemingly normal neighborhood. But every now and then a simple but strange supernatural occurrence happens which eventually leads to the characters learning an important life lesson. What helps this show a lot is that the life lessons are very relevant to all ages and the characters are very down to earth and relatable. The humor is simple and subdued and the general atmosphere of the series has a strange way of making it engaging to both young kids and grandparents. The series’ stories vary from simple ones such as trying to win a school science fair, to much darker and mature stories that deal with the sudden death of a loved one. The series is only 39 episodes long but it winds up being just the right length as the short number of episodes wind up being just long enough to tell every necessary tale with the characters. *Available on Amazon Prime Video.

Couldn’t you just pause it
