Today’s Davenport gives Magnus Advanced Dog Photos.
[image description: Three images! The first is an anon ask reading, “Dav gives Magnus an illusionary dog, talking about the benefits of not dealing with dog poop/ feeding/ destroying furniture etc.” Following this is two monochrome images featuring Magnus, a burly human man with large sideburns sitting on the floor looking conflicted as he puts his fingers through an illusionary dog. Magnus says, “I love but I can’t pet.” Davenport, a mustached gnome, stands next to him and responds, “Just pet something else and pretend.” Following this is a beat panel of Magnus just looking at Davenport for a moment as he thinks. He slowly reaches up his hand towards Dav’s hair and Davenport leans away and says, “Do. Not.”. End id.]
I would certainly hope by now that all the antis have blocked me and filtered my username, so the rest of you should be sane people, haha. XD <3
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone cares if I stop tagging clone ships as ‘clone ship’? It just seems ridiculous to post something about consenting adults in loving relationships, and then have to think, “Oh wait, no, this could upset someone.”
Like??? That’s crazy???
So I’m leaning toward not tagging them anymore and people can just unfollow/block/filter me if they have a problem with it, but figured I’d ask in case I’m wildly misinterpreting who follows me.
I’ve been reading A LOT of Jane Austen lately, and for some reason I had never read Mansfield Park, and now that I’ve just finished I have questions and comments, like:
Why was ever Edmund in love with Mary Crawford? From the beginning she constantly insulted everything he respected or considered important. Stupid boy. (insert eye roll here).
Why everyone seems to hate Fanny Price as character? I mean, I get that she’s quite stressful in the beginning BUT she gained my full respect rejecting Henry Crawford against EVERYONE’S opinions. She stood her ground, sure that he was not a good man.
Even though I get why Fanny is not a reader’s favourite, I don’t get why so many people like Mary! I mean, she starts being quite fun and relaxed and nice, but then she says so many not nice things! AND she’s totally OK with his asshole brother playing around with girls and breaking hearts. Like, girl? wtf? If she didn’t like the Bertram sisters, whatever, but wasn’t Fanny supposed to be her friend? WHAT THE HELL, GIRL?
On a side note, the fact that NO ONE could understand that Henry should be able to take “no” for an answer and leave Fanny alone, and that nowadays PEOPLE STILL DO THIS just blows my mind. No, it is not romantic, it is creepy. It was then, it is now.
Oh, how I LOVE to hate Mrs Norris!
How many Lady Bertrams do you know in real life? I know several.
Edmund, my man, just sit down, deep breath, and shut up. It clears the mind. XD
ANYWAY, here a meme from Sparknotes:
I give this book 3 out of 5 bonnets (the official ranking system for Regency stuff), because I wanted to slap almost all of the characters, and the whole first part was kind of boring.
And a final question: what’s your favourite adaptation of Mansfield Park? I think I’ve seen the one with Johnny Lee Miller but I do not longer remember it. Lol.
The bonnets images are from Costumes Parisiens, 1817.
What’s the word for when you’ve been laughing at funny videos or messages like stupid autocorrect for so long you literally cannot stop laughing. Your laughter is stuck on. And you’re like “that one’s not even funny but hahahah” cause it doesn’t matter.
All day long. As adults. We try to not pee in our pants because its dirty or embarrassing. But when we are in the shower, we just let it flow and think nothing of it?
