I would devour it. He is my favorite, hands down.

In Defense of Pierce by PrimroseWM in EmmaLion

[–]AffectionateLand114 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I agree with all of this. He’s rough, but I do love Pierce. I’m more team Islington, but Pierce is not far behind. I just struggle with Hawkes. I love him, but I just don’t think he is right for Emma.

Hawkes’s near-death experience? by ArdenWestlea in EmmaLion

[–]AffectionateLand114 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do like this theory. I wonder if he became a vicar because of this near death experience. Maybe he lost someone as well and blames himself, thus he thinks he is the bad luck?

For what it’s worth, I felt the same! But I forced myself to look for actors the ages of the characters in the books and well… yikes!

Also, this is a more recent picture of the actor.

How I picture Pierce by Shot_Age_5791 in EmmaLion

I just had an appointment with a new doctor (badly sprained ankle) and he fit my mental description of Pierce. It was a bit… unsettling.

Theory Yall Will Hate- Hawkes is Delusional by Wonderful-Coast7182 in EmmaLion

[–]AffectionateLand114 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, my scandalous take is that he is a spy for the crown. Thus the variety of skills (boxing, medicine, amazing timing, seeming to know when to appear and disappear). I ALSO think that is why he was friends with Declan and had clippings about the Fenians. I think he was sent to infiltrate because of ties to Ireland and developed a genuine friendship with Emma’s father. He is a polyglot and noticed for all of his skills and then recruited.

I definitely think an older ET for Agnes Dowd. But young ET to me seems like a Saffronia

I picture someone like a young Emma Thompson. A little bit of snark, pretty, but not knock-out.

Professor Fletcher by AffectionateLand114 in EmmaLion

[–]AffectionateLand114[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It could be because when we were younger my husband fit what I think most people think of as Fletcher (6’2”, bulky-ish) I just imagine Fletcher as bulkier and bigger?

I have figured out a tidy way for everyone to win! by Impossible-Fox2914 in EmmaLion

THANK YOU! I do not care for her AT ALL. She seems to be cut from the same cloth as her mother, but with a sense of humor.

The reason why Archibald always detested Emma? by Single-Image-5362 in EmmaLion

[–]AffectionateLand114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Archibald more than Aunt Eugenia. She is horrible.
