LEGENDBORN by Tracy Deonn (in progress)
Wanted to read this for a while now, and it’s quite good so far! Pacy, intriguing, and not too hormonally YA so far.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen (in progress)
Because I still seem to need comfort re-reads, and there’s no better one than P&P. I’d forgotten how relentlessly paced this. But I hadn’t forgotten how snarky 😊

It took me FOREVER to place where I had seen Brenda Blethyn before, and I didn't want to look it up. I wanted it to come naturally, and it did last night when I was watching #Byzantium and Tom Hollander showed up. I don't know why that was the trigger, but it was then that I remembered she was Mrs. Bennett in the 2005 #PrideandPrejudice, which I saw on the plane back from Iraq! Tom Hollander was Mr. Collins in that production. I was probably the last to realize who she was.

A friend told me she had planned to get a classic pork pie hat for summer, which brought me to a short wikipedia trip, which led me further to a listicle on "Light academia films and shows on netflix", because someone wore a hat like that in a movie that was described as "light-academia" style, referencing the article.

As you probably know already, I got and too much work on my hands at the moment, so let me react to the listicle right now and get some good chemicals out of it.

1. is not "academia", it's porn for people who don't like to admit they watch porn. Great show, enjoyed immensly, but not at all.

2. "Pride and Prejudice" is not "academia" and don't start me on 2005 adaptation, because I want to sit Keira Knightley in an armchair and explain to her why wearing at least short stays is essential for a Regency silhouette.

3. "Gilmore girls". OK, I admit with reluctance that it is s a modern version of light academia.

4. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the 2022 version of "Persuasion". Plus, it's not academia.

5. "Derry girls" is not light. Wonderful, insightful, funny, but there's nothing light about it and the fact they are wearing non-Wednesday school uniform doesn't make it light.

6. "Anne with an E", OK, it's kind of Edwardian, so let's give this one a pass.

7. "To all the boys..." too modern for light academia.

8. "Sex ed" see 7.

9. "Call me by your name" at last! Something! Yes! Books, romance, subdued elegance!

10. "Heartstopper" the fact that it takes place at school AND is lighthearted and sweet doesn't make it light academia.

Thanks for coming to my TED-talk ;)

I know everyone’s had a go at casting MDZS characters in Pride & Prejudice by now, but I need to remind you all* that Wei Wuxian is absolutely the Wickham to Jiang Cheng’s Darcy: son of a servant, taken in by Darcy’s father and given all manner of advantages, who made diseputable life choices and abandoned the family who had done so much for him.

YES, this makes Lan Wangji Lydia, you’re all welcome.

* or inform, if you didn’t see my thread on the subject back on the birdsite
