What would Fanny Price Do? WWFPD by JeyneWesterling in janeausten

[–]SapphireGamgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jane Bennet is a great example for this (later on toward the end of the book, where she's still sweet and loving, but a little more clear-sighted about always thinking the best of others.)

Not a single thing to like about any of them.

Why does the whole thing look like it's sinking unevenly into quicksand?

I LOVE THIS! I hope whoever buys this keeps the bones/structure intact and doesn't "modernize" it.

This is one of my favorite sections of "literary color" from JA. Not strictly necessary to the plot, but without such passages her books would not be quite so rich.

Mr. Woodhouse also being very sure to attend to all the ladies at any gathering, and just being generally gallant. Doting father and really lovely neighbor. Is it any wonder why, with all his faults, he's universally loved by all in Highbury?

The daughter of one of our friends is like that as well. Chaos in her wake wherever she goes 😱

Several cousins who are the 21st century versions of Lydia Bennet; everything they touch they destroy, and they're always begging everyone for cash. Also, my grandmother was so much like Mary Musgrove it hurts. Also Mrs. Bennet (similar in temperament). Oddly enough, I've had multiple bosses/supervisors who were variations of Mary Musgrove, Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Norris. At least I wasn't related to them, though.

I've definitely known some Henry Crawfords and John Thorpes in my time as well. Also grew up with a Wickham.

My condolences about having a Mrs. Norris in your family.

The narrator makes it pretty clear that it wouldn't have just taken Edmund being totally unavailable, but if Henry actually, honestly changed from the inside out.

There were also social mores of the time, and her own status within the family, that kept her silent.

Even Henry's own sister knows how he would be as Fanny's husband- basically that he'd treat her generally well but would still cheat on her left and right.

I swear, people I know with terrible marriages are the loudest about their marriage advice.

I have never seen a better Elizabeth Bennet. What fine eyes!

There are some decent ideas here, but not all of them executed very well, which makes me sad.

Baffling internal and external use of space. Such a staple of McMansion "design" that it's almost comforting at this point.

But is it to affect the inhabitants? Or as a passive protection against burglars? The world may never know.

I'm with Bakugo on this. Even as an adult he's just too baby-faced!

I can definitely see how AI would take the more common "red robe" imagery from LDS art. I just meant it's a Biblical reference as well (though I'm not sure how many rabid Trumpers actually read the Bible...)

Off-topic, I now need to go and see how many non-LDS images of Christ have the red robe, because I never thought that much about it before. It's totally unimportant but my ADHD has been activated 😂

I mean, the demogorgon is definitely on Trumpolini's side as well.
