“Why he should say one thing so positively, and mean another all the while, was most unaccountable! How were people, at that rate? To be understood?” She’s so real. Anyone like me who does understand sarcasm unless the tone is very clear like chandler in friends and Howard in big bang theory.

Well, for Frederick, at least the stakes is his reputation not his life. Poor Fred. Hope he eventually finds someone and gets over it since he was actually in love.

Catherine would be so surprised by her beloved central England today, murder can be not only tolerated but laughed at openly by many, delighted at the benefits of selling someone of sorts for a price instead of saving where they had the chance into modern slavery/captivity, and helping operate poisoning people too and not withdrawing from such things altogether.

Isabella needs to be allowed to say acc she does need a stable partner but she can’t because of the etiquettes of their century that still continues today. Catherine hinting to Isabella + asking others to speak to Tilney to stop, everything except speak plainly to her. Not distantly, not through others, but directly. This is why neurodivergent folks challenge these customs which end up having serious outcomes.

Catherine and the Tilney’s conversation is super fun, like they have fun together. I loooooove Catherine, you can tell she’s fun.

“To come with a well-informed mind is to come with an inability of administering to the vanity of others which a sensible person would always to avoid.”

It makes me think of Scarlett O’Hara who was taught by her mother and mammy and given a manual to life that deference is expected. Sad for people who are ND, have hearing loss or trauma etc, informed support network makes it easier to grasp key social cues.

I loooove Catherine, she makes me laugh!!!! Educated people: history is written by the winners (until God intervenes!). Catherine: history books are boring, they’re always fighting, the stuff that they say doesn’t make sense, it sounds all made up. She got to the point so quickly cos she’s so light-hearted. I looooooove her.

Bets & foresight. Once I accurately predicted the order of announcements on a dance show, I was v. young. Bit freaked out. Cath talks about how he’s a bit of a braggart, it brings to mind numerology astro tool sadly applied since last year in arts, culture, + media + how some, astro dictates, tell stories + hide the truth. Not to judge though, i don’t have it, may Allah (SWT) guide us all + not use it either.

Catherine is so hilarious and light and not really a deep thinker. LOVE her. She saw Mr Tilney, okay yeah that’s mine, and stuck to it, so lightly as well.

The book said spitting image of her brother. Suddenly, bc = malware + surveillance, I had received likes by ‘James’ (Morland). Put your hand up if you think retaliation shouldn’t be using influence to use nhs to transition Muslims/anyone against their will in revenge during appts + other consumptive items of consumption?
