I Still Get Pissy Every Time I See An Illustration Like

I can't be trusted with time travel because all I would want to do would be go back to hang out with Jane Austen and show her all the adaptations of her novels to find out which one she likes the best

“So you’re saying we should save this world that hates us and where every living thing in it wants us dead?”, question the goblin. The orc shrugged, “Yeah, I mean we live in it too.”. The goblin sighed, “When do we start?”.

I have the strong mental image of them doing a spy mission into the depths of the agency to try to figure out what the secret is only the discover somebody high up in the agency has hidden their matchmaking plans totally not what I was expecting but okay so now they're sitting in one of those big oval conference rooms and the head of the agencies like you broke into our basement and they're like stop messing with our private life not sure if I should put any punctuation in here if it's just fine good night

You’re a spy. You and your partner always suspected that there was some deeper, hidden reason The Agency assigned the two of you together. Turns out the reason was: they thought you’d make a cute couple. They were RIGHT, and you DO make a cute couple, but still. It’s the principle of the thing

I am but @the-haiku-bot your not a people not that I mind bots like you

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

Two people meet at a bar. One thinks they’re being hit on. The other is a spy and thinks they’re meeting with a contact. Misunderstandings ensue.

From the moment they met, Bingley's love for Jane was constant and unwavering. Bingley, for all his endearing golden retriever-esque cheer and exuberance, is humble to the point of insecurity. So he's all too ready to believe it when Darcy, the person whose opinion and judgment he values most in this world, informs Bingley that Jane doesn't seem genuinely interested in him. Bingley never once doubts how deeply he cares for Jane - he just lets himself believe that Jane doesn't love him in return.

I saw something (not here - it was on an inferior website lol!) about how Bingley is the type to stray and just mindlessly fall for every pretty girl who crosses his path, but there's actually less than zero evidence of that. He loves Jane and ONLY Jane - but since he and Jane don't possess enough of the novel's titular 'pride' while Darcy and Elizabeth initially have too much of it, Bingley just didn't allow himself to believe that someone as lovely and sweet as Jane reciprocated those feelings. Even during those months apart, rather than latching onto another infatuation, Bingley continued to pine over Jane and his feelings remained strong and true. I'm the unofficial captain of the Charles Bingley Defense Squad in case anyone else wants to join ;)

@missielynne , I had to tag my fellow Jane/Bingley lover!

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

“I’m sorry, but due to inflation, you only get 2.5 wishes”

Yes, this seems like a it would be a popular destination if time travel was real.

You’re on the first time travel expedition to the Library of Alexandria. Upon arrival, your team finds a sign at the entrance that says, in over a dozen languages, “all time travelers must register at front desk immediately upon arrival.”
