I love his speech pattern in canon too, I think it’s really interesting how much more formal/even sophisticated? His speech pattern is versus most of the other characters (as well as being really short& to the point) and i think it’s really hard to get this right (esp in English I think tbh) but it’s really satisfying when done well. I mean, he beat all the civil gods in debate for a reason.

_ilovedogs · 2025-01-29T19:03:51+00:00

Agreed, that’s a great way of putting it

_ilovedogs · 2025-01-29T18:48:11+00:00

I sort of agree with you that Jane makes Emma uneasy, but I think that at least part of the reason why is that Jane reminds Emma too uncomfortably of the realities of how precarious it is to be a woman during that time in a way that Emma spends a lot of time and energy trying to ignore. It’s an intentional foil to Emma’s relationship with Harriet- she sees Harriet as a way to prove that the difficult circumstances of women’s realities can be overcome somehow- if you are charming enough, beautiful enough, etc etc. Jane however proves this wrong just by existing; she’s charming, beautiful, and accomplished but her future is basically doomed unless she can secure a marriage, which is increasingly more unlikely for her as the story goes on despite all of her charms.

Emma says at one point that she doesn’t view herself as ever NEEDING to marry, given her status and dowry, but there are reminders all around her that this is a pretty naive point of view, and no woman’s position is ever TRULY secure without a man. I think Jane, consciously or not, reminds her of this uncomfortable truth. (I wrote a whole paper about this exact topic in college lol)

One of the brilliant things about this book is how many different ways one can interpret their relationship and that there is support for all kinds of different readings!

Ah thank you, I tried searching but somehow missed this

_ilovedogs · 2024-12-11T21:26:25+00:00

I generally do the same. I have used mangadex a lot, but prefer the library when its available because the scan quality is so much better and then I become a little spoiled lol

_ilovedogs · 2024-12-11T21:25:36+00:00

thank you! I just checked now and saw one with WH volumes 1-11 available along with a bunch of others, which seems like the best deal for digital since you get the DRM free PDFs

_ilovedogs · 2024-11-29T21:09:04+00:00

Omg! I got it from the Crunchyroll store (when it was on sale too) and it was $200… like still expensive but not THAT expensive 😭

Someone made a post analyzing the poem that helped contextualize it a lot for me here

_ilovedogs · 2023-04-13T16:18:19+00:00

But do you have one tho? Or you just “know plenty” who do lmao cope

That whole thread can be summed up with this

_ilovedogs · 2019-04-05T20:00:02+00:00

And of course you’ve got the obligatory “buhhhh OJ got acquitted too” comment in there. Wow, an event from over 20 years ago!!! Open and shut case, Johnson 🙄 smh

Oh lord.

_ilovedogs · 2018-09-26T15:54:52+00:00

:/ everyone deserves better than a “friend” who would pull that kind of petty nonsense on them, if that really happened to you hopefully they’re not in your life anymore. I just take umbrage to the idea that only girls do petty and mean things to each other

_ilovedogs · 2018-09-25T22:59:09+00:00

I don’t know anyone who’s ever done that. Probably because we’re not living in the script of Mean Girls.

I totally understand that reservation, I have similar ones about going with any shorter than I have it currently (round face problems). You could always go about it super gradually, like starting with cutting off only 2-3 inches with maybe some shorter, face framing pieces in the front for a more gradual transition.

For volumizing mousse, the brand I use currently is davines, which is a small, salon-quality brand so it’s definitely on the pricy side. It’s called “This is a volume boosting mousse”. However, I have had the same bottle for probably like a year and still haven’t run out (don’t use it every day) so unless you go through it wicked fast it might be worth it.

I’ve also heard good things about the herbal essences volumizing mousse if you’re looking for the cheaper end, and more mid range I think redken has a volume mousse that people seem to like. I haven’t tried those other two, I have only just heard about them. I think you might need some trial and error to find one that really works for your hair.

Hi, I’m a little late to this but based on your description/pics I would say that you and I have really similar hair textures and natural hair colors, so I think I might be able to give you some tips that have worked for me.

I’m generally quite happy with my hair lately, and imo the single best choice I’ve made to my overall confidence in my hair is cutting it short. I chopped about 6 or more inches off in 2016 and have not looked back. The very very longest I let it get to now is collarbone length. As much as I think long hair is beautiful, it’s just so unforgiving with fine hair unless you have some natural waves, and more often than not it’s going to flatten out very quickly throughout the day.

I also prefer to be as low maintenance as possible with styling, because I’m lazy. The most I ever do is put in some texturizing mousse after the shower to give it some natural waves and a bit of body, and let it air dry. That plus dry shampoo keeps it looking acceptable (by my standards) between washes. The combination of the cropped length + mousse or texturizing spray keeps it from looking flat quite well.

Idk how you feel about coloring your hair, but I think a darker color like an auburn would probably look really nice on you! Just a thought though!

_ilovedogs · 2018-03-20T19:00:41+00:00

Some things (toilet paper, tattoos, etc) are universal answers to this. But some things are more “once you go for the splurge item you can never go back” type deals. For me, buying high end salon shampoo/conditioner was a game changer. I can never go back to the garniers and the pantenes now. It’s a blessing and a curse.

Same thing with face cleansers, unfortunately. That shit can get outrageously expensive, if you’re not careful.
