An Easy And Completely Accurate Guide To The Characters Of Pride And Prejudice

I love just how blatant and embarrassingly obvious Darcy’s affection for Elizabeth is on your second watch through of p&p 2005. I love him describing an accomplished woman as someone who “must improve her mind by extensive reading” and immediately eyeing Elizabeth with her book. I love him asking Elizabeth to dance at the Netherfield ball when, at the previous ball, Elizabeth had told him that dancing was the best way to encourage affection. I love piecing together the shots and realizing that Darcy is almost always looking in her direction. I love realizing the reason Darcy is walking through the crowd at the Netherfield Ball is because he’s searching for Elizabeth. I love him coming over to hear Elizabeth play piano and I love him telling her that he has trouble conversing easily with people he’s just met and knowing he’s attempting to be open and vulnerable with her.

His first proposal is so jarring and unexpected for Elizabeth but damn girl this idiot has been openly pining after you this whole time

of course she had to hold him down or he'll freaking orbit the planet.

Donnie is clumsy, no matter what incarnation it is.

all downhill from here [tmnt 2012, apritello]

I haven’t written Apritello in a while and then it was recently @bigassmagnet‘s birthday and the two combined and this fic has no chill sorry

After Donnie and April finally get together (a long, drawn-out, dragged-out thing that takes, not including the five years Donnie pined over her from not-so-afar, four months and eight days, and involved a Kraang raider-team stealth-invading the city and the turtles trying to root them out, culminating in the Kraang attacking the zoo, Mikey getting food poisoning by daring Casey to eat turtle pellets (also from the zoo), Raph being adopted by a mutated Victoria-Crowned Pigeon, and the aforementioned Kraang sending a signal through the NYC wifi network that, when reversed, somehow through the power of alien science boosted April’s powers from vague empathy to just straight-up temporary omniscience.

(“Oh,” April said, seeing all of Donnie’s heart for the first time. 

“Yeah,” Donnie said, scratching his head awkwardly, at which point Mikey was thrown at them, knocked Donnie off the clock tower, and the moment was gone.)) it takes four weeks and two days for it to really sink in.

Donnie is dating April.

Donnie. Is dating. April.

"you held her hand ungloved? what, you gave her a lap dance too?"

I'M SO PROUD OF THIS ONE it's my first time trying out semi-realistic art and I just had to do an iconic scene that lives in my head rent free.

Mr. Darcy is yet still the best man that has ever been written on paper and shown on films, you won’t change my mind 🙌🏻

“Costumes are also used to show Mr. Darcy’s evolution as he comes to love Elizabeth Bennet and let go of his snobbery. His costume had a series of stages. The first time we see him he’s at Meryton, where he has a very stiffly tailored jacket on, and he’s quite contained and rigid. He stays in that rigid form for the first part of the film. By the time we get to the proposal that goes wrong in the rain, we move to a similar cut, but a much softer fabric. And then later he’s got a completely different cut of coat, not interlined, and he wears it undone. The nth degree is him walking through the mist in the morning, completely undressed by 18th-century standards.

If you see closely Darcy costumes in the course of the film change quite radically. In the early scenes he´s wearing a very buttoned up, very rigid, very stiff style of costume. In the middle stage, he´s wearing the same style but in a softer fabric and a softer cut and, by the end of the film, he´s wearing a much looser cut, an open jacket, a more country style, less uptight, less rigid. His costumes reflect the other changes in his character.” - (Jacqueline Durran, P&P Costume designer; via P&P Companion Book)

me: it’s not realistic to expect the type of love depicted in movies and stories, they function on an idealized notion of love that has a quick deus ex machina for situations that would require entire lifetimes to solve in real life
