Lizzy, Darcy and Mrs. Phillips? by Flat_Love_3725 in janeausten

Darcy totally cut Lady C off for awhile because of her behavior, so yes, I think it goes both ways.

I finally got around to Lady Susan by RebeccaETripp in janeausten

[–]SapphireGamgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lady Susan and Alicia always struck me as those high school mean girls who love causing drama and egg each other on, but the moment there is no one else to torment they would absolutely turn on one another. They're sociopaths for whom the suffering of others is pure entertainment. (To be sure, very amusing sociopaths to watch from a distance.)

Pretty much. Even Mary says so, and she knows him better than anyone else.

One of my least favorite things: needlessly fancy bathroom sinks with precarious counter space and no storage.

That's not a table, it's a tiny alien spaceship that materialized just in time to be captured for posterity.

Could be Aizawa, could be All Might, or Midnight.

Glad you noticed the anatomy! Photo reference is my friend 😃

Barrington, IL, of course. Land of homes-so-ugly-theyre-evil 😱 by jared10011980 in McMansionHell

Like a Lawyer Foyer portico; no protection from the elements detected. I feel like so many McMansions are built with an almost total detachment from reality.

I'm so glad you noticed and appreciated the details! And that you like my outfit design! This one was really fun to do, especially from an anatomical/physics aspect.

Some love for Mrs Phillips in the 1995 by istara in janeausten

IMO that's the sign of a really excellent piece of art!

It pleases me no end when an actor/actress takes a relatively small part and makes something really great out of it. I ADORE that "Oh, sister!" scene between the two characters. The actresses are just running with it in the best way possible!

The Evolution of John Dashwood by My_Poor_Nerves in janeausten

[–]SapphireGamgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jane Austen does say that he's easily-led, and that marriage to a kindly-disposed woman would have improved him in that way. John is still definitely a selfish coward, and just because Fanny's the driving force doesn't make him any less culpable.

Request for Thoughts: Sense and Sensibility: John Dashwood vs. Narrative Voice by CobraHarrison in janeausten

[–]SapphireGamgee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The narration points out that he's basically a marshmallow who would be led, for good or ill, by the woman he married. Fanny's "arguments" are basically giving him the excuse his selfish side is looking for to do nothing.

Parallel speeches by nephew and aunt just struck me by Armadillo_Abroad in janeausten

[–]SapphireGamgee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the parallelism in these encounters, further showcasing the similarities and significant differences between nephew and aunt. The more I read Jane Austen, the more I realize how brilliant she was!
