Pride and Prejudice 1.01

Pride & Prejudice
Modern AU
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
They have grown old with me. And it’s that much more real.
opening titles
when i was 15 and someone introduced me to P&P’95 (and Austen) for the first time, i must have watched this adaptation a few times a week for months. no social life obvi, but omg SO worth it. #credits give me feelings
played this theme song at my senior high school (also, last) piano recital. should have finished it by throwing my middle fingers in the air while saying “darcy and elizabeth forever, mutha fuckas!” then grabbed my diploma and ran. #regrets

So I couldn’t post this last week because it would have spoiled Lauren’s Christmas gift, but I got to meet Kate Beaton and have her sign a (Mr. Darcy, of course) print of hers! I hope you have all bought her book by now because it is great!
LOOK AT MY NAME NEXT TO JANE AUSTEN’S KATE BEATON’S FACE:

brynn is best and this is now one of my favorite gifts of all time. OF ALL. TIME.
excuse me…

my flatmate wont stop coughing. i want to shout “QUIT COUGHING. YOU HAVE NO COMPASSION ON MY POOR NERVES!!!!!!”

I wanna motorboat you so hard right now.
More Pride and Prejudice with modern subtitles!!

i could watch these forever. and ever. amen.
mr. darcy: “wish i could quit you, bitch.”
Gawd. Lizzy Bennet throwing down the gauntlet at the end of this scene always gives me chills.
Random fact from the tour: those opening “reaction shots” between lizzy & darcy were filmed without the other in the room.
Also, part of the reason that the sexual tension is so sky-rocketing high in this scene is that they just started hooking up IRL.
They had broken up by the time they got around to filming the proposal scene (which explains the lack of sexual tension).

please tell me you all wore bonnets
Unfortunately, only those who had bonnets wore them. As I did not have a bonnet, I did not wear one.
FUN BONNET MAKING TIP (that i learned from fellow tourees): Just take an old straw hat, cut it in half, like so:

then wrap that back part in whatever fabric you choose. Attach ribbon and VIOLA! You’ve just played the role of Lydia Bennet.
