I’m still not over Graham ;~;

 #HE’S GOING TO COME BACK DAMNIT #HE ISSSSS SOMEDAY #idk i just feel as if nothing is resolved between them #Emma never got closure #plus it’s only been about ten episodes since he died and there’s already been two new potential love interests for emma #i feel like fandom love for Graham is slowly slipping awayyy #nooo bb come back #that said… i’m making mad swan gifs rn #i can’t help it. they’re so hot…. #but anyone still holding out for Emma/Graham still out there?

All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one; you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.

Okay which Jane Austen adaptation do I wanna watch? Help.

Okay. I’m going to do my top 3 favorites in each type of medium kind of thing.

Films
Northanger Abbey (2007)
Persuasion (2005)
Sense and Sensibility (1995)

Miniseries
Emma (2009)
Pride and Prejudice (1995)
Sense and Sensibility (2008)

Alternative Setting films & miniseries
Clueless (1995)
Lost in Austen (2008)
Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)

So I’m doing a last minute public survey for my thesis meeting in an hour. I have my own ideas, but I love getting new perspectives. Basically I’m looking for the impulse thoughts that people get - like Romance, or courtesy, or handsome men in wet shirts, etc. Basically the things you see in adaptations. Kinda.

Thanks Tumblrites.

Miss Elliot, I can bear this no longer. You pierce my soul. I’m half agony, half hope. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it eight years ago. I have loved none but you.

sapientia-stulti:

Emma is all pastels, light colors, incredibly soft, without anything dark to mar it. And very very fluffy.

Pride and Prejudice is jewel tones, dark greens and purples with perhaps a sudden dash of bright color to add interest.

Persuasion is dark colors (especially reds), that have faded well with age with just a hint of a rosy hue on the edges.

Mansfield Park is simple, drab colors, off-whites and washed out colors.

Sense and Sensibility is half bright colors, pinks and purples and yellows, and half serviceable colors, deeper blues and greens. The two halves battle it out and the blues and greens win in the end.

Northanger Abbey is a simple yellow with fantastic black accents that don’t quite seem to fit.
