An easy and completely accurate guide to the characters of Pride and Prejudice
No you want a dark haired arrogant gruff man's heart slowly softening after he declared you tolerabe but not handsome enough to tempt him.
4 happy brothers !
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
me, when Mr Darcy has to flex his hand after briefly holding Elizabeth’s hand in Pride and Prejudice (2005):
“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)
The faces the boys make when Raph is buck-bucking across their shells.
Leo looks like he just pulled something, Mikey looks like he’s gonna puke, and then we’ve got Donnie.
He just looks so in to it like “FUCK ‘EM UP GOOD, RAPH! YOU GO, BRO!”
i still think the best thing about lizzie/darcy is how almost nobody knew it was happening like it was SCANDALOUS and charged and they constantly oscillated between wanting to jump each other or jump each other’s bones and everyone was too busy watching the vanilla trainwreck of bingley/jane and the victorian equivalent of a nuclear bomb that was lydia and wickham to realize that a whole THING was going on right in front of their respective perfectly boiled vegetables
What endearments am I allowed? Well, let me think. Lizzy for everyday. My Pearl for Sundays and Goddess Divine but only on very special occasions. And what shall I call you when I’m cross? Mrs. Darcy? No. No. You may only call me Mrs. Darcy when you are completely, perfectly, incandescently happy.
"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.
Thanks to @freyreh for recommending this. It’s official… I will always love Donnie, no matter the incarnation. He’s adorable. But seriously. This. Is. Bad. Ass.
