Here’s the second part of my P&P spam!

These are all fantastic, Lines! Hoping for more spammage!

I am only speaking of the Dench version, here, but I am speaking God’s honest truth when I say I have never, ever, EVER seen a fictional character beg so hard to be turned over a knee and spanked.

not usually into D/s not that there’s anything wrong with it i just never have been but this woman was born to be blindfolded and humiliated within an inch of her life and hate herself for loving it I just have feelings okay p. sure i’m right tho

Well shit. Look at that sentence and those tags. Almost makes me interested in Austen.

(BIG LONG THOUGHTS COMIN’ UP Y’ALL, SORRY)

You should read Pride and Prejudice! It’s a wonderful, wonderful novel, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh is (like all the book’s other characters) an immortal triumph. That said—

(please don’t kill me, Denchers, please, it’s a matter of opinion only)

—Judi Dench’s interpretation of the role doesn’t quite work for me. I wanted it to. But Lady Catherine, for me, should be a figure of fun, a character full of self-importance. She’s funny, and more than that, she’s absurd. She puts her oar in everywhere (the novel has a terrific line in which Austen explains that Lady Catherine drives into the village if someone is “too poor” and tries to harangue them into plenty). Her only real goal in life is identical to that of the ridiculous Mrs. Bennet: to get her daughter married. Mr. Collins’s servile admiration of her is Austen’s signal to the reader that Lady Catherine is not to be taken seriously by anybody with good sense, such as Elizabeth. Barbara Leigh-Hunt’s squawking portrayal of her in the 1995 production is terrific—she alternates between playing an entitled matriarch and an angry duck.

Judi Dench, otoh, plays Lady Catherine as a formidable woman truly to be reckoned with. She seems to merit Mr. Collins’s bowing and scraping. She’s smart and tough. It helps that Keira Knightley’s performance is (IMO) more like a sulky teenager’s than I would like, but even so, Dench!Catherine is not to be laughed at, which I feel is a fundamental misinterpretation of the character. (And in one scene, she thanks a servant for bringing her coffee! WTF?)

BUT BUT BUT, that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the hell out of her. I don’t think her character is a convincing Lady Catherine, but I do think she is incredibly compelling and attractive, and just begging to be put in her place, one spank at a time.

(so many words, why do I always end up using so. many. words.)

Yes, but they’re all good words, worth reading.

Also, I need to watch the 1995 version again and this is all your fault.

Because he’s the hero the fandom deserves, but not the one it needs right now…and so we’ll ignore him, because he can take it. Because he’s not a hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector…a dark Doctor.

Too good not to reblog!

Oh, she’s dead, I’m afraid. She’s been dead for a very long time.
Yeah, we should’ve mentioned that. Never the right time!

After a full day of being HBIC Mayor-Queen of Storybrooke, Belle takes her dinner down to the docks to enjoy the sunset and a few moments of peace.

And Belle waits.

Awww… is she preggers? Love Belle getting things done, but still waiting.

“Oh, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver, and when they caught the light every morning, it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came, the breeze would blow through the branches like a song….”

So I’m rewatching and Cersei telling the story of “The Rains of Castamere” as a way to threaten Margaery is so fucking perfect when you consider the role that song’s going to play at Marge’s wedding. It’s the perfect Tyrell fuck you.
