Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen | Sybil Brinton

Chapter 2: whew! So many new old characters! #RIPbrandon #always #singlesmixer #thosesteelegirlsthough #hotmessexpress #inwalksmarycrawford #whowillendupwithwho #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

Bookwormjillk Lol #hotmessexpress 11mo

willaful I think it's interesting how the author assumes readers all already know the backstory of each of the characters.

Also, yet another who wants to rehabilitate Mary Crawford! I remember reading a “sequel“ -- Joan Aiken, maybe -- which was clearly of the mind that Mary got #arawdeal and should've been the real heroine. Never mind the whole #beingafortunehunter thing. 11mo

Ruthiella @willaful I loved Mary Crawford and was annoyed by Fanny, but I need to re-read

Mansfield Park

11mo

willaful @Ruthiella Fanny is definitely all wet, but Mary pretty much #dugherowngrave IIRC. I don't mind her growing from the experience and having a HEA though! (edited) 11mo

Cuilin So many characters. There was a moment where a Nancy showed up and I was like where did you come from? 11mo

ravenlee @Cuilin that threw me for a minute too, and I had to rack my brain to remember Nancy is a nickname for Anne (which I should remember, as an Anne) 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @ravenlee yeah, it took me a minute to see that Nancy is Anne #annenotnancy #dontconfuseme #toomanypeople 11mo

TheAromaofBooks Sooo many characters all at once and @willaful is right about just being expected to remember them!!! I was never a Mary fan and read another sequel where she died, so I was also a little like, “wait, she's not dead??“ 😂 But poor Brandon! I love that guy, and everyone always wants to kill him off! #Brandon4lyfe 11mo

ravenlee Exactly! @TheAromaofBooks Why is Col Brandon always the first to get knocked off? He‘s one of the best Austen characters. And I feel more sympathetic to him as I find myself on the wrong side of 35 (okay, 40) - he‘s supposed to be sooo old and he‘s not even middle aged?! 11mo

TheAromaofBooks @ravenlee - Right?? Everyone so down on him because he wears flannel! 😂 11mo

dabbe @ravenlee I can't ever picture Col. Brandon again without thinking or seeing Alan Rickman, who is also gone. 💔

11mo

dabbe @willaful Agreed! It's been a while since I've read some of Austen's books, and boy am I having to go back and research to remember the gist of each person from the Austen novels. 😅 #whew 11mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe same! I mostly have the gist but I definitely needed a bit of a refresher 11mo

willaful Brandon got knocked off?! I missed that.

Now I want to read an AU where Marianne dies and Brandon and Mary Crawford get married. #justkidding #donthateme 11mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful I hate that Brandon died! Whyyyy does everyone kill him off?!? 11mo

willaful Oh, I did remember wrong. It wasn't fortunate hunting, it was Mary's moral failings in Edmund's eyes. 11mo

Morr_Books @BarkingMadRead Can you add me? I'd love to join the discussion. 11mo

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books absolutely! 11mo

A beautiful & heart-wrenching conclusion to an epic tale. I first fell in love with the wizarding world because of the ways magic can make life different. Now I also cherish the bonds between characters that are so deftly crafted by pre-twitter Jo. The emotions she enables me to experience towards the end are so helpful to me as I process real life. Life is hard & love can be painful but it is vital & wonderful. Thank you, #always.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows | J.K. Rowling

I began the series (again) last year. I've read it countless times from childhood 'til now, but as I grow and change my experience with this story evolves as well. I'm very excited to re-discover easter eggs that I've forgotten (as the movies as much more efficient to view), to notice things that I've previously glossed over, and to experience this as a completely different person than before. #always

The older I get and the more I read these books, the more I appreciate how beautifully they relate to people at all stages and walks of life (and the illustrations are GORGEOUS). Even though I am nothing like Harry in name, shape, or form, I feel connected to him (and all of the characters) on a very basic, human level. I am forever grateful to Jo for creating this world which I will love to visit, #always.

Today we meet Colonel Brandon and Mrs Jennings. I‘ll post about her tomorrow, today it‘s all about Snape. I mean Colonel Brandon. #always #pemberlittens #buddyread

Ruthiella Okay, 25 years later, Alan Rickman circa 1995 is looking a lot younger to me. Still not cool with the 20 year age gap, but maybe not as icked out as before. 😆 2y

StayCurious As someone who is also “on the wrong side of five and thirty” he doesn‘t seem that old to me haha 2y

BarkingMadRead @StayCurious right?!? And @Ruthiella 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2y

wanderinglynn I will always picture Alan Rickman as Col Brandon 💜 2y

DanaManiac I just love that 35 is such an “advanced age”. I suddenly feel very wise 🤣😂 2y

Bklover I haven‘t seen the movie but I‘m having a hard time seeing Alan Rickman as anyone else but Snape (or Hans Gruber)! 😉 2y

BarkingMadRead @bklover he‘s an amazing Colonel Brandon! But I see what you mean, he‘s a fabulous bad guy 2y
