Hes Such A Self Absorbed Asshole How Can People Genuinely Ship Him With Fanny While I Also Find Myself

he’s such a self absorbed asshole how can people genuinely ship him with fanny 😭 while i also find myself charmed by him, i feel it under delusion! jane austen had no right spewing the most loving things about fanny from our local fboy’s mouth 😍

Every once in a while I’ll come across a post being like “why did Jane Austen throw away Henry Crawford’s redemption arc that’s who Fanny should have married” and I would love for them to explain how a man refusing to accept a woman’s no for months & recruiting her entire shitty family to similarly pressure her into a marriage she doesn’t want was a “redemption arc” and not like more proof that he’s an asshole

someone talk to me the way henry talks about fanny <33

"'...with such unpretending gentleness, so much as if it were a matter of course that she was not to have a moment at her own command, her hair arranged as neatly as it always is, and one little curl falling forward as she wrote, which she now and then shook back, and in the midst of all this, still speaking at intervals to /me/, or listening, and as if she liked to listen, to what I said. Had you seen her so, Mary, you would not have implied the possibility of her power over my heart ever ceasing.'"

i literally ceased to exist

"'I could so wholly and absolutely confide in her,' said he;' and /that/ is what I want.'"

what if i killed myself huh? HUH?

how anyone can hate fanny price is so beyond me because how can you not relate to being left out and simultaneously wishing to be included but also knowing that's not what you really want, you just want to be understood and loved by those who actually know you

...but at the same time there was a pointedness in his manner of asking her which she did not like, and she saw his eye glancing for a moment at her necklace, with a smile—she thought there was a smile—which made her blush and feel wretched.

-Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

everyone slags off jason so much and it sucks 😭 literally leave him alone you don’t get it

Jason Grace who could kill a man before he could write his name.

Jason Grace who had to look after himself when he ate poisonous berries.

Because the first rule of the Wolf House is self reliance.

Jason Grace who could command armies but couldn't tie his shoes.

Jason Grace who never cried infront of people because to do so would show weakness.

And the wolves would eat him alive.

Jason Grace who survived multiple assassination attempts both prior to and after becoming Praetor.

And could never trust so easily.

Jason Grace who doesn't know what his mother looks like but knows the names and faces of every fallen soilder by heart.

Jason Grace who doesn't smile because no one ever taught him how too.

Jason Grace who sleeps with his coin under his pillow and never tells anyone he's afraid of the dark.

Jason Grace who was never allowed to be a kid, he was made to fight.

Lupa taught him to rely on himself alone and the Legion taught him to be a one man army.

No one ever asked what he wanted... To do so would mean they saw him as human.
