The thing about Frank Churchill is he is terrible to his father and worse to Jane but ultimately that's ignored by pretty much everyone and to me what that's saying is that Emma didn't have to repent, she didn't have to try to make amends with Miss Bates, she didn't have to try to connect with Jane, she didn't even have to stop treating Harriet like a toy, she has the social capital and the outward characteristics (handsome, clever, rich) that she might privately upset many people but ultimately she's low-key untouchable. Which makes her decisions to do better far more powerful because they aren't driven by a selfish need for survival, they're driven because she truly repents.

all fandoms are full of weirdos to some extent but it leaves such a bad taste in my mouth to see how many gracie abrams fans openly and repeatedly get genuinely angry at the fact that she has short hair now. like??? they're so mean about it and act as though as Longtime Fans they get to have a say in how she styles her hair??? it's so fucking weird and also rings as misogynistic to me because what do you mean you're angry that a feminine woman has short hair and you think it's your right to control the aesthetic choices she makes about her own body's appearance? and the era of her hair they keep saying they want her to "bring back" is when her hair was very long and with bows/ribbons... hmmmm
