So, I think if the Bennet and Dashwood girls grew up together, Lizzy would have more tolerance for Marianne?? Like, I think she'd kinda see her as a fourth little sister, haha. But she'd probably feel Elinor's pain when Marianne does/says something she shouldn't, haha. I do think she'd totally respect her desire to marry for love, but at the same time be like whoa intensity alert, haha. And the more cynical side of Lizzy probs thinks that she is setting herself up for disappointment since she seems to have such a clear picture of the kind of man she's waiting for. But I don't think she worries as much about Marianne as say Kitty or Lydia. That being said, I'm not sure that they'd hang out too much, the two of them, but I do think Lizzy would prefer to talk with Marianne than her own sisters, if Jane and Elinor weren't around, haha. 

IDK what she'd think of him, though?? Tbh, I think he's probably only read a handful of things on Marianne's must-read-list and he'd be all about taking her recs, but I don't think he'd ever get around to actually reading them (he'd have every intention of doing so, but he's just so incredibly social he'd much rather chill with peeps than read). 

I don't think he'd be in love with her or anything, but I def think that Tom would really like Marianne. All he wants out of life is to have fun and I think he's soooo bored in the country and that (at least out of the girls that are taken/reserved) he'd be most interested in chilling with Marianne, b/c she's so passionate and alive and wouldn't be against doing things that are slightly improper and basically he'd be a bad influence on her, I think. Plus, his BFF, Mr. Yates, is like seriously into theater and stuff and I can see him knowing some Shakespeare off the top of his head to recite to her and he'd just be all about what Marianne wants to hear. That being said, that's not going to stop him from flirting with other girls (although none so much as Marianne) so idk how she'd view that or if she'd think it's just his way or what, but yeah. :D 

Although if they've known each other for a long time, they might be more understanding of each other??? But idk?? Thoughts?? 

So WOW Fanny just loooovvveess Marianne, haha. I feel like she's def her least favorite relative b/c I feel like Marianne's the only one to actually fight back when Fanny is being a total bitch and Fanny is like NO. (Although if something develops/looks like it is developing between Elinor and Edward, than the least favorite Dashwood award might go to her sister haha). 

Sobbing b/c now Brandon has even more potential competition for Marianne's heart, haha. <3 So, I still think he'll def be taken with her and basically have no hope for their future and just wants happiness for her. #cuelizzydyinginthecorner
