“The English language began as an upheaval; I am not protecting it when I try to guard it against change. The Jesus Christ of it, Chaucer, walked across the water telling dirty jokes, made twenty stories stretch to feed a million people, spelled the word “cunt” five ways, performed miracles.”

This is perhaps the greatest metaphor ever put to paper.

This will never end. I am never going to be finished with this book, and no matter how much I love Ginny, I would really like for it to end at some point.

Men and their breeding kinks 🤷🏻‍♀️🤨

I would die for Matthew Cuthbert

He smiles, staring at me in that way that I sometimes wonder if I imagined—enchanted. Sweet, almost. Like I’m precious.

Okay. Maybe I see the resemblance. But just MAYBE.

I want to bitch slap Marianne so hard her head whips to the side. Egotistical spoiled brat. To a lesser extent, I also kinda want to slap Eleanor and her stupid martyr mentality. Give me back my Anne Elliot!!!!

I’m so tired of every character’s bullshit. This is like Persuasion if I didn’t like any of the pairings, any of the characters, and I found nothing about it either amusing or particularly touching. I just want this book to end.

This is like a constant blood pressure spike. I have a headache

See, Austen and I were in too good relation at the present for it to last, and I fear I’ve just gotten hit by a Sense and Sensibility shaped brick square in the face.

Thus far, the world-building is actually very serviceable (not necessarily « never done before », incredibly original and unphatomable, but certainly fine) and the writing is also very decent! Not « heartbreakingly gorgeous » quite yet, but MILES BETTER than the the average published fanfic (because SenLinYu always had decent prose). I’m tentatively hopeful?

“Love is a possible strength and an actual weakness. Mariage transforms a distraction into a support, the power of which should be — and happily often is, in direct proportion to the degree of imbecility it supplants.”

They’re ridiculing the Idylls of the King; these people are tasteless brutes!

What the fuck has these bitches done to Jonah?

Am so nit there tor the Allan’s redemption arc I’m not gonna lie

“Bunny… I whispered sadly”

This dickless man in finance type

A bitch? From Jane ? Oh the treat!

I will literally never finish this fucking book.

Is Catherine Moorland the anti-Anne Elliot? Yes. Am I THOROUGHLY enjoying Northanger Abbey ? Most definitely!! That’s it! I get the Jane Austen hype now!!

That romance is liable to make me end it all
