weary bunions @ziusik.bsky.social · 08/09/2026almost necessarily change the original story to fit them & then it loses the thing that is supposed to make it interesting. This, yet again, would work so much better if it wasn’t trying to work within the framework of P&P to me. 130
weary bunions @ziusik.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I’m gonna keep going bc I’m curious but…and also it feels insane to me to somehow make Lizzie & Jane slightly worse characters in order to improve Mary…again, this makes the story fall apart for me. Hmmmm!!! 230
Clare @claredactyl.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Yeah. I honestly feel this was about every villain explanation media piece of the past 25 years, from Jim Carrey's excrebale The Grinch through to Wicked. What if Jane and Elizabeth were actually... NOT so great? Well we wouldn't have liked the book so much probably 201
