So after I’d thought about it, I said I would put out for Josh Richter, but only if:
1. We’d been dating for at least a year. 2. He pledged his undying love to me. 3. He took me to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway and didn’t make fun of it.

If you think about it, Mia's 3 conditions for sleeping with someone isn't that crazy. She wants him to love her, support her interests and be committed to her properly. Like go girl.

Welcome to our newest masquerade fest! This is a combined fest, meaning it's both a remix and a masquerade. In a remix fest, you take a fic (someone elses or your own) and make it your own or rework it if it's your own. This way we can honour fics we really liked!
We will be writing during set times with specific themes so go ahead and already find fics you might want to work on. The fest writing time is from 10 May-3 July, the duration of Hinny's initial relationship. The final author reveals will take place between their birthdays (31 July-11 August)
Themes:
any AU (Pirate, Modern, Muggle, go wild!)
10-16 May writing time, final submission date 19 May
canon compliant
20–26 May writing time, final submission date 29 May
canon divergent
30 May–5 June writing time, final submission date 8 June
fluff to angst/angst to fluff
9-15 June writing time, final submission date 18 June
bonus: platonic relationships surrounding Hinny (golden trio, Weasley family, Ginny w/ her friends)
19-25 June writing time, final submission date 28 June
The fics will always be revealed to everyone on the final submission date of that specific theme. 29 June to 3 July will be catch-up time for late submissions of any theme.
After the third, we will lock the collection so please make sure you submit on time or let us know before this time if you still plan to submit so we can make the guessing survey as soon as possible. Voting willl close on 26 July
Important: you need to have the permission of the author to remix their fic! Please pick your fics and contact the author as soon as possible.
For authors who have been not been active in 2026, you do not need permission, but please do try to contact them if you have a way to.
If you are fine with your works being remixed by anyone in the fest, feel free to indicate that in our sign-up survey. We will be listing those authors in a separate post
Rules:
permission from the original writer needs to be requested. The only exception is inactive writers (see above)
you can choose to do self-inspired fics, but it cannot be 100% of your submissions. You need at least one fic by someone else
you do not need to write for every theme (although it's fun to take on this challenge!)
credit needs to be given on the fic, and use the 'inspired by' functionality on AO3 whenever possible
If you are planning to join, please fill in the survey so we know who will join and we can add you to the dedicated role on Discord if you're in our server.
If you have any questions, the best place to ask them is our inbox on here or on the dedicated channel in the discord server but if you need to PM your question, feel free to contact @ginnyw-potter, @vaffyu, @sunlit-di-s or @justalittleconfusing through PM either on tumblr or discord.
- Organised by the mods of @ginnystrophyhusband and @sunlit-di-s
Still obsessed with Arthur Conan Doyle’s letter to Bram Stoker gushing about how wonderful a book Dracula is, but particularly how it makes such a good template for leaving fic comments, so I’m gonna to a BREAKDOWN:
Just say you loved reading it - “I am sure that you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula.”
Comment on a detail of the craft or structure that impressed you - “It is really wonderful how with so much exciting interest over so long a book there is never an anticlimax.“
Comment on how it emotionally affected you - “It holds you from the very start and grows more and more engrossing until it is quite painfully vivid.”
SHARE YOUR BLORBO FEELINGS - “The old Professor is most excellent and so are the two girls.”
Show appreciation for them as an author - “I congratulate you with all my heart for having written so fine a book.”
Next time you don’t know what to say on a fic you enjoyed, just use the ACD method~
Listen once I said that Emma and Frank are the same and got slaughtered on this website but they ARE that's the POINT OF HIM they're both charming, gregarious, witty in a way that leads to cruelty (although it seems more studied for Frank whereas Emma tends to get carried away), they're both widely beloved due to being good-looking and amiable. And because of all these things they are both capable of manipulating other people and ruining their lives carelessly and thoughtlessly without facing any consequences. Frank is who Emma could be, she could abandon her father, she could hurt other people on purpose, but Emma's not actually cruel. She's thoughtless and stubborn and elitist and she does have a mean streak, but when all's said and done she has good intentions and truly cares for people. And she has a backbone! She tries to make up with Jane multiple times and accepts it when it's clear Jane won't be friends with her - that takes a courage which Frank, who takes out his frustration that he can't marry Jane ON Jane, doesn't show. Frank exists to indicate both the danger Emma's in if she follows her behaviour down, but also indicates to the reader that Emma, despite being annoying at times, isn't actually terrible. She's worth having as a heroine. Austen said no one will like Emma but MYSELF, she liked Emma! She knew Emma deserved to have a story! Frank is her way of saying look there's good here! That's what I think he's doing in the narrative.
Framing this and putting it in the front of my copy of Emma for real
Oh, yes! Just as Jane is also what Emma could be: thoughtful, discreet, modest, unselfish, and steady. Jane though, also goes too far, perhaps - she is so very discreet and private that she has no close friends in Highbury, and ends up bearing her burdens without support, even that of distant friends.. Her pride is different than Emma's, though. Where Emma's is social and vain, Jane's is self-contained and centers more on her opinion of herself and on moral rectitude.

- congrats to the Westons tho, they're gonna have a baby!
Chapter 13:
“And I do envy him, Emma. In one respect he is the object of my envy.”
- excuse me? please i want to what that was about
- no don't stop ASK HIM EMMA
Emma be like
- AAAGHHHHHHHH
IT HAPPENED
Chapter 14:
- the letter is a pile of garbage and I hate him
Chapter 15:
“I perfectly agree with you, sir,”—was then his remark. “You did behave very shamefully. You never wrote a truer line.”
facts
- Mr. Knightley would live with Mr. Woodhouse for Emma?!?! now that's true love
“Ah! there is one difficulty unprovided for,” cried Emma. “I am sure William Larkins will not like it. You must get his consent before you ask mine.”
- lol
- omg totally forgot about Harriet
poor girl
like how unlucky is she
Chapter 16:
- Mrs. E is annoying af
- aww Emma and Jane are finally friends-I love how they both are behaving with each other now
Chapter 17:
She had been decided in wishing for a Miss Weston. She would not acknowledge that it was with any view of making a match for her, hereafter, with either of Isabella’s sons; but she was convinced that a daughter would suit both father and mother best.
- girl not again
they're gonna be the Love Island season two aren't they?
“Poor child!” cried Emma; “at that rate, what will become of her?”
“Nothing very bad.—The fate of thousands. She will be disagreeable in infancy, and correct herself as she grows older. I am losing all my bitterness against spoilt children, my dearest Emma. I, who am owing all my happiness to you, would not it be horrible ingratitude in me to be severe on them?”
- stop they're so cute (also him calling her spoilt lmao—is this how they flirt)
- ok we're gonna ignore the in love since 13 part plz
- John is so freaking funny. And he thinks Emma is not worthy? lol
tbh he didn't see her arc tho, so yeah
Poor man!—it was at first a considerable shock to him, and he tried earnestly to dissuade her from it. She was reminded, more than once, of having always said she would never marry, and assured that it would be a great deal better for her to remain single; and told of poor Isabella, and poor Miss Taylor.—But it would not do.
please, Mr. Woodhouse, atleast pretend to be happy about it
How very few of those men in a rank of life to address Emma would have renounced their own home for Hartfield! And who but Mr. Knightley could know and bear with Mr. Woodhouse, so as to make such an arrangement desirable!
- true lol
- ok the Eltons suck
Chapter 18:
WHAT?
HARRIET AND MARTIN!?!?!
“Do you dare say this?” cried Mr. Knightley. “Do you dare to suppose me so great a blockhead, as not to know what a man is talking of?—What do you deserve?” “Oh! I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other; and, therefore, you must give me a plain, direct answer. Are you quite sure that you understand the terms on which Mr. Martin and Harriet now are?”
gosh i'm giggling
Chapter 19:
- oh so we finally find out about Harriet's parentage
“Oh! very well,” exclaimed Miss Bates, “then I need not be uneasy. ‘Three things very dull indeed.’ That will just do for me, you know. I shall be sure to say three dull things as soon as ever I open my mouth, shan’t I? (looking round with the most good-humoured dependence on every body’s assent)—Do not you all think I shall?”
Emma could not resist. “Ah! ma’am, but there may be a difficulty. Pardon me—but you will be limited as to number—only three at once.”
Miss Bates, deceived by the mock ceremony of her manner, did not immediately catch her meaning; but, when it burst on her, it could not anger, though a slight blush shewed that it could pain her.
“Ah!—well—to be sure. Yes, I see what she means, (turning to Mr. Knightley,) and I will try to hold my tongue. I must make myself very disagreeable, or she would not have said such a thing to an old friend.”
ouch
poor Miss Bates
Emma felt the tears running down her cheeks almost all the way home, without being at any trouble to check them, extraordinary as they were.
- ayy no, go apologize to Miss. Bates, she'll understand(i guess)
Chapter 8:
“Ah! madam,” cried Emma, “if other children are at all like what I remember to have been myself, I should think five times the amount of what I have ever yet heard named as a salary on such occasions, dearly earned.”
- real. esp. for teachers
- poor jane. i really was hoping we'd get introduced to a random wealthy man and that they'd be married suddenly.
Chapter 9:
- OH. MY GOD.
THE ALMOST KISS ON THE HAND
THIS IS THE BEST SCENE IN THIS BOOK IN MY HUMBLE OPINION
- oh
- err rip Mrs. Churchill
- umm is jane pissed off at Emma cuz she was flirting with Frank and Jane thinks she knows Frank and her are kind off a thing?
- Emma after trying to make amends be like: at least Mr. Knightley would appreciate it
smitten, bro, absolutely smitten
Chapter 10:
Emma found that she must wait; and now it required little effort. She asked no more questions therefore, merely employed her own fancy, and that soon pointed out to her the probability of its being some money concern—something just come to light, of a disagreeable nature in the circumstances of the family,—something which the late event at Richmond had brought forward. Her fancy was very active. Half a dozen natural children, perhaps—and poor Frank cut off!—This, though very undesirable, would be no matter of agony to her. It inspired little more than an animating curiosity.
bruh
- okay imagine Emma being right, that might actually be funny
“More than an attachment, indeed,” resumed Mrs. Weston; “an engagement—a positive engagement.—What will you say, Emma—what will any body say, when it is known that Frank Churchill and Miss Fairfax are engaged;—nay, that they have been long engaged!”
- omg, finally we got a proper answer.
- I will never, I repeat, never question Mr. Knightley on anything ever again, I swear.
- no the Westons being concerned about Emma is sweet. they're such nice people.
- omg Frank is such a pos
like dude wtf?!?!
He must hate Jane to do all this right in front of her-like it's not even cheating, it's humiliating her cuz he knows she's gotta stick with him cuz she has no options. SOB
- why is mrs. Weston excusing him!?!?
“A very pretty trick you have been playing me, upon my word! This was a device, I suppose, to sport with my curiosity, and exercise my talent of guessing. But you really frightened me. I thought you had lost half your property, at least. And here, instead of its being a matter of condolence, it turns out to be one of congratulation.—I congratulate you, Mr. Weston, with all my heart, on the prospect of having one of the most lovely and accomplished young women in England for your daughter.”
- atleast emma is being nice to Jane
Chapter 11:
- what is happening here
- THE GASP I JUST GASPED
harriet in love with MR.KNIGHTELY?!!?!?
- bro shit's hit the fan. THERE'S NO WAY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WHERE EMMA HAPPILY ENDORSES A MATCH BETWEEEN HARRIET AND MR. KNIGHTLEY
- HARRIET!!!!!
- GOD THIS NOVEL BE WILDIN'
It darted through her, with the speed of an arrow, that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself!
- OH MY GOD
THIS CHAPTER IS GONNA SEND ME STRAIGHT TO THE PEARLY GATES
BRO HOW AM I EVER SUPPOSED TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN NOW, I CAN'T JUST GO BACK TO REALITY NOW
PLEASE GOD, HIT PAUSE IN REAL LIFE NOW, LEMME FINISH THIS
- oh poor Emma. I love how she handled the entire conversation with Harriet, she's really matured.
I can't remember how much of this is implied canon or my own interpretation, but I fully believed that Chiron recognized Percy was a son of Poseidon from the fountain incident with Nancy Bobofit, knew that a child of the Big Three being claimed would be a total shit show, and simply chose not to say a word about it
wait isn't it also implied somewhere that Sally was in contact with Chiron at some point before Percy arrived at CHB? Im dying imagining a convo between them about Percy's godly parentage like-
Chiron after going to Yancy at Grover's desperate request and getting one (1) look at the child that is the carbon copy of Poseidon's preferred mortal form:
Harriet rational, Frank Churchill not too much in love, and Mr. Knightley not wanting to quarrel with her, how very happy a summer must be before her!
- Ummm..It's only been like 270 pages rn
- Something terrible is gonna happen right??
- Are we fucking serious now? HARRIET AND CHURCHILL NOW????GIRL LET THE POOR GIRL RECOVER FROM MARTIN AND ELTON FIRST
- The Knightley children are hilarious
Chapter 4
HARRIET COLLECTED ELTON'S RUBBISH
PEAK TEENAGE BEHAVIOUR
I'm crying
- Ok Harriet remembers where exactly Mr. Elton stood and Emma remembers Mr. Knightley. The parallels are 🤌🏻
Chapter 5
- No notes, just loving Mr. Knightley's pov
- Also I totally trust him.
Chapter 6
- The mental image of Mrs E, Jane and Miss Bates on a donkey is sending me
- ok i love the description of (Emma's future home) Donwell Abbey (Now I want to eat strawberries)
- Ayy what's up with Jane? poor baby
he could bear any degree of cold, etc., but heat was intolerable
no i agree with bro
Some people were always cross when they were hot
again, agreed
Frank Churchill being relatable was something I'd never expected
“I am glad I have done being in love with him. I should not like a man who is so soon discomposed by a hot morning. Harriet’s sweet easy temper will not mind it.”
- First of all, lmao. secondly, leave Harriet alone.
(Note to self: Find someone who's sweet easy temper will not mind my discomposure)
- Churchill crying about how he's sooo sad and how hard his life is
ugh the joys of having enough money and means to just travel at one's fancy, i will never know(cries in broke and weak passport)
“We are going to Box Hill to-morrow;—you will join us. It is not Swisserland, but it will be something for a young man so much in want of a change. You will stay, and go with us?”
“No, certainly not; I shall go home in the cool of the evening.”
“But you may come again in the cool of to-morrow morning.”
“No—It will not be worth while. If I come, I shall be cross.”
“Then pray stay at Richmond.”
“But if I do, I shall be crosser still. I can never bear to think of you all there without me.”
“These are difficulties which you must settle for yourself. Chuse your own degree of crossness. I shall press you no more.”
- bro stop behaving like a toddler
(is it worrying that i too behave like this on occasion-like I'd have to choose between something but I'm shit at making decisions and end up taking like this, annoying my mom ppl)
- wait
did Jane leave cuz she figured Frank might come? Also is Frank so pissed cuz he argued with Jane on the way? or offended that she left before he came?

Emma saw how Mr. Weston understood these joyous prospects. He was considering her as the source of all the happiness they offered. She hoped it was not so. Two months must bring it to the proof. Mr. Weston's own happiness was indisputable. He was quite delighted. It was the very circumstance he could have wished for. Now, it would be really having Frank in their neighbourhood.
- The Westons shipping Emma is cute
- But I'm surprised Mrs. Weston is rooting too. I mean shouldn't she know Emma doesn't want to get married?
Chapter 2
At this moment Frank began talking so vigorously, that Emma could not but imagine he had overheard his own praises, and did not want to hear more;—and the voices of the ladies were drowned for a while, till another suspension brought Mrs. Elton's tones again distinctly forward
- He did this to stop Emma from listening to Mrs. E didn't he? Wait Mrs. E has tea on him?!?!
not have appeared to greater advantage perhaps anywhere, than where he had placed himself. His tall, firm, upright figure, among the bulky forms and stooping shoulders of the elderly men, was such as Emma felt must draw every body's eyes; and, excepting her own partner, there was not one among the whole row of young men who could be compared with him.
- Mr. Knightley is literally all she's thinking about. God I'm loving this. It reminds me of the scene in Enchanted, the song So Close
His dancing proved to be just what she had believed it, extremely good;
- Girl stop I'm kicking my legs
- Mr. Elton is a nasty pos
- Omg the entire convo between Emma and Mr. Knightley. I am screaming... stop it's cute af
- Him acknowledging Harriet gives Emma such satisfaction cuz his opinion matters the most to her(and me too)
“Indeed I will. You have shewn that you can dance, and you know we are not really so much brother and sister as to make it at all improper.”
“Brother and sister! no, indeed.”
She was, of course, the object of their joint dislike.—When they had nothing else to say, it must be always easy to begin abusing Miss Woodhouse;
- I spit my water out reading this.
“Poor Jane Fairfax!”—thought Emma.—“You have not deserved this. You may have done wrong with regard to Mr. Dixon, but this is a punishment beyond what you can have merited!—The kindness and protection of Mrs. Elton!—‘Jane Fairfax and Jane Fairfax.’ Heavens! Let me not suppose that she dares go about, Emma Woodhouse-ing me!—But upon my honour, there seems no limits to the licentiousness of that woman’s tongue!”
- did she just......have a nice thought about jane?!?
- oh so Mr. Knightley is NOT in love with Jane, thank god. But why did he blush?!?
Chapter 16:
- Guys John is backk!!!
Emma apprehended that it would be a ninth very much out of humour at not being able to come even to Hartfield for forty-eight hours without falling in with a dinner-party._
- yo why's john so grumpy
- ok poor jane
imagine taking a morning walk and now the whole village wants to comment upon your stroll. Like i get why they're saying it but please, she's a grown woman
ugh, small towns are a nightmare in that sense
Emma began again—“Mr. Frank Churchill writes one of the best gentleman’s hands I ever saw.”
“I do not admire it,” said Mr. Knightley. “It is too small—wants strength. It is like a woman’s writing.”
- god they're doing it again
- love him or hate him, Frank's always the centre of the attention, even when he's not in the said room.
She could have made an inquiry or two, as to the expedition and the expense of the Irish mails;—it was at her tongue’s end—but she abstained. She was quite determined not to utter a word that should hurt Jane Fairfax’s feelings; and they followed the other ladies out of the room, arm in arm, with an appearance of good-will highly becoming to the beauty and grace of each.
look at her personality glow up guys
so all we needed was a Mrs. E huh?
Chapter 17:
John Knightley only was in mute astonishment.—That a man who might have spent his evening quietly at home after a day of business in London, should set off again, and walk half a mile to another man’s house, for the sake of being in mixed company till bed-time, of finishing his day in the efforts of civility and the noise of numbers, was a circumstance to strike him deeply. A man who had been in motion since eight o’clock in the morning, and might now have been still, who had been long talking, and might have been silent, who had been in more than one crowd, and might have been alone!—Such a man, to quit the tranquillity and independence of his own fireside, and on the evening of a cold sleety April day rush out again into the world!—Could he by a touch of his finger have instantly taken back his wife, there would have been a motive; but his coming would probably prolong rather than break up the party. John Knightley looked at him with amazement, then shrugged his shoulders, and said, “I could not have believed it even of him.”
John be like:
- John is a classic introvert lol
Chapter 18:
“No, indeed, I shall grant you nothing. I always take the part of my own sex. I do indeed. I give you notice—You will find me a formidable antagonist on that point. I always stand up for women
- Mrs. E is a girls girl ppl
Mr. Knightley seemed to be trying not to smile; and succeeded without difficulty, upon Mrs. Elton's beginning to talk to him.
Lmao
Aaand we're done with Volume II
God I can't wait to see what's next
“You, Emma, who have so few opportunities of dancing, you are really out of luck; you are very much out of luck!”
- ok gotta give it to Mr. Knightley, even tho he must celebrating that Frank's gone, he still shows genuine sympathy for Emma's dashed hopes.
Chapter 13:
forming a thousand amusing schemes for the progress and close of their attachment, fancying interesting dialogues, and inventing elegant letters; the conclusion of every imaginary declaration on his side was that she refused him. Their affection was always to subside into friendship. Every thing tender and charming was to mark their parting; but still they were to part.
- ok ngl, relatable to me (sry not sry)
This, Emma could not doubt, was all for herself. Harriet was remembered only from being her friend.
Girl. The Vanity?!!?
- Emma treats Harriet like one treats a retarded puppy
Chapter 15:
I shall henceforth refer to Augusta as Mrs. E only cuz the Mr. E thingy was. So Fucking Funny. Like please, I'm wheezing.
When she considered how peculiarly unlucky poor Mr. Elton was in being in the same room at once with the woman he had just married, the woman he had wanted to marry, and the woman whom he had been expected to marry
- Ah yes, how beautifully awkward that must have been.
- if you had a shot every time Mrs. E said Maple Grove, you'd be in hospital for alcohol poisoning
- Emma's reaction when Mrs. E said “Knightley!” reminds me of that meme
"And the quarter of an hour quite convinced her that Mrs. Elton was a vain woman, extremely well satisfied with herself, and thinking much of her own importance; that she meant to shine and be very superior, but with manners which had been formed in a bad school, pert and familiar; that all her notions were drawn from one set of people, and one style of living; that if not foolish she was ignorant"
"The Coxes were wondering last night whether she would get into any great family. How did you think the Coxes looked?"
"Just as they always do—very vulgar."
- GIRLLLL WHAT THE HELLY
- stop thiss already
“How much your friends in Ireland must be enjoying your letters!” cried he. “You correspond with Weymouth, I presume?”
- that's just cruel now
“No, I thank you. But do come in. Who do you think is here?—Miss Woodhouse and Miss Smith; so kind as to call to hear the new pianoforte. Do put up your horse at the Crown, and come in.”
“Well,” said he, in a deliberating manner, “for five minutes, perhaps.”
“And here is Mrs. Weston and Mr. Frank Churchill too!—Quite delightful; so many friends!”
“No, not now, I thank you. I could not stay two minutes. I must get on to Kingston as fast as I can.”
- Mr. Knightley this chapter be like
- lmfao Mr. Knightley is such a passionate Churchill hater. He's out here showing me I'm not hating to my fullest potential.
“To think of your sending us all your store apples. You said you had a great many, and now you have not one left. We really are so shocked! Mrs. Hodges may well be angry. William Larkins mentioned it here. You should not have done it, indeed you should not. Ah! he is off. He never can bear to be thanked. But I thought he would have staid now, and it would have been a pity not to have mentioned.... Well, (returning to the room,) I have not been able to succeed. Mr. Knightley cannot stop. He is going to Kingston. He asked me if he could do any thing....”
- did Mr. Knightley...... just ride off, leaving miss bates mid sentence?
lol why
Chapter 10:
It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind;
- hahaha lol Austen cooked here
The ladies here probably exchanged looks which meant, “Men never know when things are dirty or not;” and the gentlemen perhaps thought each to himself, “Women will have their little nonsenses and needless cares.”

She had provided a plentiful dinner for them; she wished she could know that they had been allowed to eat it.
- Mr. Woodhouse is such a Almond mom?—dad?—parent??!?
"Nonsensical girl!" was his reply, but not at all in anger.
- Ok he's in loooveee
(they better end up together else I'll feel stupid)
- Ok why does it feel like Churchill knows what exactly is happening to Jane but is playing dumb with Emma.
Only to be sure it was paying him too great a compliment, but she did think there were some looks a little like Mr. Elton.
Emma restrained her indignation, and only turned from her in silence.
Emma after this comment
- Lmfao. Emma is such a Churchill fangirl lol
He started. "Thank you for rousing me," he replied. "I believe I have been very rude; but really Miss Fairfax has done her hair in so odd a way—so very odd a way—that I cannot keep my eyes from her. I never saw any thing so outree!—Those curls!—This must be a fancy of her own. I see nobody else looking like her!— I must go and ask her whether it is an Irish fashion. Shall I?— Yes, I will—I declare I will—and you shall see how she takes it;—whether she colours."
He was gone immediately; and Emma soon saw him standing before Miss Fairfax, and talking to her; but as to its effect on the young lady, as he had improvidently placed himself exactly between them, exactly in front of Miss Fairfax, she could absolutely distinguish nothing.
- omg leave jane alone. Also that's just mean. Imagine a bitch bringing up an ex just to see your reaction. That's sick.
- Frank is playing Emma like a fiddle, isn't he? Like I know he purposely stood to block Emma's view and he asked Jane something else entirely.
Wait
Does Frank like Jane?!?! And he's talking to Emma simply cuz he's trying to see if Emma's interested in him cuz she's rich? Emma won't marry and once he figures that out he's gonna go to Jane ?!?!
- Ok
What?!?!
MR. KNIGHTLEY AND MISS FAIRFAX?!?!?
LIKE BRO WHAT
HERE I WAS SHIPPING HIM WITH EMMA
Perhaps it is as well," said Frank Churchill, as he attended Emma to her carriage. "I must have asked Miss Fairfax, and her languid dancing would not have agreed with me, after your's."
- Omg stop thiss. Bro knows what to say to whom
THIS WAS LITERALLY THE MOST HAPPENING CHAPTER I'VE EVER READ
"It is a most repulsive quality, indeed," said he. "Oftentimes very convenient, no doubt, but never pleasing. There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person."
- Ok this bitch is gonna marry her right? I can feel it.
Chapter 7:
- Barely a paragraph in but omg Frank is extra
- OH MY GOD
EMMA WTF?!?!??!
Like girl wants an invite just to turn them down. Even mentions how her dad's habits might soften the blow
- She's so snobby omg.
- Ok this so funny for no reason at all:
But you would not wish me to come away before I am tired, papa?"
"Oh! no, my love; but you will soon be tired. There will be a great many people talking at once. You will not like the noise."
"But, my dear sir," cried Mr. Weston, "if Emma comes away early, it will be breaking up the party."
"And no great harm if it does," said Mr. Woodhouse. "The sooner every party breaks up, the better."
