I want to propose a discussion to the room and maybe we already had it.
Does Darcy saves Lydia for himself (aka because he knows he can not marry a woman who has a fallen sister), for himself 2.0 (to redeem himself) or for Lizzie?
There are two explanations given by Darcy in the book, one to the Gardiners and one to Elizabeth herself. Explanation 1 is basically For Himself 2.0 and Explanation 2 is for Elizabeth. Also, Darcy really wasn't sure he had a chance to Elizabeth, so I'm not sure Saving Lydia for Himself would be on his mind.
I think his thinking went something like this:
Dear God, Elizabeth is VERY DISTRESSED. I need to FIX THE DISTRESS. I am capable of fixing the distress! Good. She will be LESS DISTRESSED. (Later, probably during the very long journey from Derbyshire to London) I didn't tell Meryton that Wickham is a snake, so his actions with Lydia Bennet are partially my fault. Therefore it is my duty, as a GENTLEMAN (which Elizabeth said once that I'm not but I totally am, SEE!) to fix this problem that I helped cause.
That's my opinion at least.

Look

I just love the 1995 adaptation okay, it's so faithful (outside of excluding the last conversation between Darcy and Elizabeth)(I will forever pine for that) and it only added a few scenes:
Colin Firth in the bath
Colin Firth fencing
Colin Firth in the pond
And honestly you just have to respect that
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH FANCING?! MY GERMAN EDITION DOESN'T HAVE THAT?! IS THAT A LEGIT SCENE?!

2005 Pride and Prejudice is a great film: beautifully shot, well acted, romantic. But between the two Darcys, it is Colin Firth who truly embodies, with the sheer, furious intensity of his gaze, the iconic Kate Beaton cartoon.

the only function of a signet ring is being able to fidget with it whenever you're nervous around your crush
The moment Wickham stood up in the church to marry Lydia and BOOM Darcy jumpscares him from behind. I screamed! What was THAT?! Personal space, Darcy doesn't know it.
my headcanon is that he sticked to Wickham like glue until he married Lydia. Wickham trying to fall asleep, but who is lurking in the shadow of his bedroom? Its Darcy
Remind me again, who had wet darcy first?
If I remeber correctly it wasn't PP95 but an adaptation even before it?
The once I can name are:
PP95
PP05
PPZ
Fire Island
Bridgerton
Some more?
Darcys "Oh FUCK!" face after realizing that he maybe shouldn't have insulted Lizzies whole family during the proposal is GOLD!

Pride and Prejudice is such a funny book because imagine hating on someone you’ve never met right in front of them and then like a day later being like oops actually I like your eyes.
But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying.
I think this is one trait of Darcy most PP adaptations I have watched so far have never shown on screen.
This scene is pure comedy. Him rambling to his friends about how pretty Lizzie is. And everyone just sitting there: Dude…“

Anonymous asked:
It's pretty clear that during most of Darcy's conversations with Lizzie there's a smile on his face. I wanted to know what it means, so i searched for an analysis and i found disappointing intrepretations one of them supposing even that those smiles are fake or that they were out of comtempt or mockery. I was pretty bitter because i thought they were happy smiles. Then i remembered that later on the book, Elizabeth compares those smiles to the one on the portrait, the housekeeper said it was taken during his father's lifetime. Back when Mr Darcy's father was alive, he wasn't his sister's co-guardien, an orphan, the master of Pemberly, nor a landlord, he was a man of considerably less responsibilities back then. So those smiles he gives Elizabeth are because he feels at ease and more free with her as if those burdens are lifted of his shoulders. But like Bingley, i don't have much trust in my intrepretations, so I need to know your opinions on this.
I agree with you.
I'm not sure how burdened Mr. Darcy feels by his responsibilities, to me he seems quite comfortable with them, but I do think he's giving Elizabeth a real smile because of the reason you cite: it's the same as his portrait smile. Now Elizabeth may have interpreted his smile as sarcastic, mocking, or fake, but she realizes that it wasn't when she visits Pemberley. We as readers shouldn't make the same mistakes as Elizabeth, we know better!
I have several posts about Darcy smiling and @firawren has a great graph of all the smiles from all the Austen heroes, including Darcy who smiles genuinely quite a few times.

Colonel Fitzwilliam: Hey I ran into Miss Bennet on my walk today. We had a nice chat.
Darcy: Oh yeah? About what?
Col F: You know, the weather, me being a poor second son, how you broke Bingley up from that gold-digger.
Darcy: You told her that??
Col F: It just kinda came up, but don't worry, I told her to keep it secret because it would be bad if the lady's family found out about it.
Darcy *sweating*: Yes...that would be bad...
Col F *laughing*: Yikes, can you imagine?
Darcy: I'm really trying not to...

joke’s on darcy, lizzie happens to be besties with mrs collins so do you know what that means? visits. do you know who mrs collins will inevitably bring WITH her???
mr collins. buckle in for some one-sided conversations on the grandeur of pemberley and how there is but one estate only marginally finer, he thinks you will no doubt agree, which can only be, of course, rosing’s park, which can be viewed by his own very humble abode
they’ll all have their dinner and the women will retreat to another room and darcy will stare very, very imploringly to his wife to please, stay. like, please. this man doesn’t shut up. surely you want to talk to him. let’s tag team. please lizzie. he will ask of nothing from you for an entire fortnight if you please actually stay in the same room so mr collins will have SOMEWHERE ELSE to direct his onslaught of ass kissing. lizzie. lizzie.
This is why the Bingleys and the Collinses are invited at the same time.
Meanwhile Lizzie, Jane, and Charlotte are in the parlor, placing bets on how long before Darcy cracks, practically CHUGS his port, and bolts, “WHO WANTS TEA?!?!?!? LET’S JOIN THE LADIES AND HAVE TEA!!!!!!”
Darcy at the table counting down the 45-ish minutes until it’s socially acceptable to retreat to the drawing room

I've been reading Jane Austen lately. She has become one of my favourite writers, so I've drawn some of her male protagonists :D (in order: Mr. Darcy, Captain Wentworth, Colonel Brandon and Edward Ferrars)
