Wouldn't fit on the secret but want to add underneath

SECRET BECAUSE - Everyone I know loves it and comments I see online always love it too. I'm not hating. It's a well written book for sure, I just don't get the hype and wanted to say it somewhere and see if anyone feels the same.

I find the character of Elizabeth rude, arrogant, proud and judging. On top of that hypocritical seeing that she judges everyone else for the traits she herself displays. I don't understand why she is so beloved or relatable to readers. At least we're told the others are annoying. I also feel like this book is to blame for every rom com with an unlikable couple who meet, have a misunderstanding that could be cleared up if they talked like adults, and aren't really very romantic at all. At least to me. I don't get why this book is held up as the best love story ever at all. I found it cold.

So you're saying you found the characters in Pride and Prejudice proud and prejudiced?

Yes, Elizabeth is all of those things...and she gets over it. Darcy is the same...and he gets over it. That's the title, that's what the book is about.

Because Darcy didn't know Elizabeth at the start of the novel. Her family doesn't impress him because several members are very loose-lipped with bad manners. So of course he isn't going to take her aside and say, "Hey, I know you think I'm a mean poopyhead, but I'm mad at Wickham because he groomed my 15 year old sister to gain her fortune and revenge himself upon me, and it came very close to ruining her reputation and her whole life. Wickham's a sexual predator, bruh!"

To protect Georgiana, he'd keep what Wickham did secret, if possible.

Re: The reason why their misunderstanding wasn't easy to clear up with a short chat.

Agreed, especially on the second point. I HATE that dynamic, but it's super popular.

That's.... that's kinda the point.

This secret is so fucking funny. Did you read the title of the book before you read it, OP

It's okay to dislike the character, but acting like her flaws weren't supposed to be flaws is hilariously obtuse

A big clue that the Earth Alliance in Babylon 5 is the evil version of Star Trek is their ship names. Their "hero" ships are named for genociders like Agamemnon, Cortez, Churchill.

Nice foreshadowing, JMS, nice.

Babylon 5 secret! Also, the Earth Alliance isn't full evil. It has evil parts, and the people in charge for a while were evil. But there are good parts left, that was the whole point of the civil war. And the good won out.

When stressing on daunting tasks, what helps me through is hearing Tim Gunn inside my head, saying sternly with care, "Make it work."

I always do find ways to make things work. Thanks Tim!

Nice OP! That sounds awesome, glad you found something that worked!

Anybody remember the black glitter spiderweb dress Olga wears in Singin' in the Rain? In my own personal headcanon that's the outfit Maleficent would have worn if she'd been invited to the party. (animated!Maleficent, not Angelina.)

It's a damn fine dress!

Agreed! That is an awesome dress and Maleficent would rock it!

I've never skated or done gymnastics, but my family is ex-Soviet and I have heard a lot of horror stories about how they trained worked their athletes, which attitudes I strongly suspect linger to this day in the classically Soviet-dominated sports.

Which is why Alysa Liu's long routine feels so healing to me. She's like good vibes on skates. No stress, just fun and enjoyment of the art. I even skip or ignore her jumps and go to the end part that's just dancing. My favorite moment is a tie between that crazy knee spin she does and the side split jump where, if you watch her hands, she does a basketball dunk.
