me: it’s not realistic to expect the type of love depicted in movies and stories, they function on an idealized notion of love that has a quick deus ex machina for situations that would require entire lifetimes to solve in real life
me, when Mr Darcy has to flex his hand after briefly holding Elizabeth’s hand in Pride and Prejudice (2005):
of course she had to hold him down or he'll freaking orbit the planet.
LONG POST AND A LOT OF READING IM SO SORRY
I tried putting as many of my thoughts as I could but I’m probably missing some things. If I remember or notice anything else, I’ll add onto this post.
Some people found my last post to be helpful so hopefully this one can bring some more insight. These are just all my thoughts and observations and notes in one place so if these are somehow useful, then hey, glad it worked out. Also, I apologize for my bad handwriting and any grammar mistakes in advance. I got like, 4 hours of sleep last night (curse this insomnia). IDK if my terminology makes sense? Like “second line” or “bump.” But I have no idea what else to call them.
!!!!!!ONCE AGAIN THESE ARE JUST MY OBSERVATIONS AND NOTES,,, THIS IS NOTHING OFFICIAL OR ANYTHING!!!!!!

I love just how blatant and embarrassingly obvious Darcy’s affection for Elizabeth is on your second watch through of p&p 2005. I love him describing an accomplished woman as someone who “must improve her mind by extensive reading” and immediately eyeing Elizabeth with her book. I love him asking Elizabeth to dance at the Netherfield ball when, at the previous ball, Elizabeth had told him that dancing was the best way to encourage affection. I love piecing together the shots and realizing that Darcy is almost always looking in her direction. I love realizing the reason Darcy is walking through the crowd at the Netherfield Ball is because he’s searching for Elizabeth. I love him coming over to hear Elizabeth play piano and I love him telling her that he has trouble conversing easily with people he’s just met and knowing he’s attempting to be open and vulnerable with her.
His first proposal is so jarring and unexpected for Elizabeth but damn girl this idiot has been openly pining after you this whole time
we as a society we don’t talk enough about the scene where lizzie tells darcy he should practice small talk and the next day he bursts into her room looking like he’s about to shit himself while commenting on the architecture
he is evolving and I am scared

No you want a dark haired arrogant gruff man's heart slowly softening after he declared you tolerabe but not handsome enough to tempt him.
