the problem with writing two romances at the same time is that one story is always in a cuter place than the other and i only want to write the cute scenes and not the scenes where the relationship is getting difficult and ugly stuff is coming at the couple

FFS, even Vogue UK falls into the spell of using, “It’s a truth universally….”

This isn’t a list of “dreamiest” adaptations but a list of adaptations in the last 30 years. All the favorites are here…including the 2022 Persuasion (which I LIKED).

British Vogue · The Best Jane Austen Adaptations Of All TimeBy Radhika Seth

HEY YOU...

The self righteous crew
of Mr Red, Mr White, and Miss Blue

Fake patriots
preaching to the glazed eyed mob
what REAL Americans should think and do

Persecuting those who hold opinions
that do not fit
your hateful world view

Pushing hard
the party line
which glorifies
all the ancient lies
about the "good old days"

Scapegoaters of the marginalized
poorly organized outsiders
under the guise of national unity

Self proclaimed guardians
of the Aryan #bloodline

You useful idiots are in power today
but we are on to you
and ultimately
are gonna whip
your fascists asses again
just like we did in World War II

crowds

“Uncomfortable” would be the word (in general) that best describes Riparia’s reaction to crowds when in cities. Always she wants Doppla, her horse, close.

In situations where she isn’t anonymous, where she feels scrutinized & judged, "bumbling anxiety" takes over—

Unless she’s feeling protective of another, or is indignant. Then, self-consciousness is swept away, replaced with "blind fury."

She’s rather complex.
