Listening to Pride and Predujice for the first time and Mrs Bennet was JUST about to describe the lace on one of Mr Bingley's sister's dresses and Mr Bennet cut her off!!!! GODDAMN IT I WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE LACE!!!! WHAT LACE WAS IT!!!

Also don't spoil me for this book lol
Honestly never read the classics and haven't seen any of the films but I do now know this is the Mr Darcy one and I cannot remember which sister he ends up with but i think this one is seen as A Great Love Story and I'm eager to see if it is or if it's just cis nonsense tbh
If you have strong feelings about this book put them in a lil notepad and let me know when I'm done with it 😂
Dear lord do people actually want me to semi live tweet me listening to Pride and Prejudice for the first time? 😂😂 A cheeky #YubiHears as someone said?
Oh my god 😂 y'all are something else. Okay sure, block #YubiHears if you wanna nope out of these tweets.

Quick catch up... Charlotte's relationship advice regarding Jane and Mr Bingley was VERY BAD and hilarious 'better to not know their faults' GIRL NO. Lizzie is a champ!
#YubiHears I am absolutely living for Mr Darcy being like "ew god no I don't want to dance with her yucky" and then at the next ball is like "I have noticed this lady has pretty eyes and now I am consumed by lust so I'm gonna follow her around and listen to her talk to people"
#YubiHears and then when army-title Luke or w/e his name was is like "this gorgeous goddess of a lady! You must dance with her even though you are rude and hate dancing!" And she's like "LOL no get wrecked Mr 'Im not handsome enough'" LIKE GIRL YES. I am LIVING for the slight!!!
#YubiHears Mr Bennet is absolutely feral omg "if Jane dies you will be comforted knowing it was in persuit of Mr Bingley" lmao my god sir!!!!

I do like Elizabeth going for a merry 3 mile romp to see her sister though good for her
#YubiHears okay the bit about sonnets starving a thin fancy of love is very excellent and u know what mr Darcy doing a lil smile at it was very cute and Mr Bingley is very nice!!!! Lmao at Mrs Bennet being like "isn't Charlotte plain anyway not to boast but Jane??? Stunning."
#YubiHears I admire Mrs Bennet's obsession with calling Mr Darcy a dick at any given opportunity tho
#YubiHears wait a minute did Jane Austin call the prettiest bestest loveliest sister after herself because that is a POWER MOVE and I LOVE IT
#YubiHears

Darcy: -says something-

Elizabeth: u wanna fuckin GO m8 do u wanna DEBATE me bro I'll fuckin DEBATE you and ALSO use words is that what you WANT pal???

Darcy: hng yes
#YubiHears

DESPISE ME IF YOU DARE!!! Holy shit Elizabeth you're so much cooler than I thought you were gonna be what the fuck

I love her like "man why's he staring at me, I know he doesn't like me but it would be weirder if he was staring because he hates me. Ah well fuck him."
#YubiHears ok I understand this book so much better when it's read to me but boy howdy there's some big words here.

Mrs Bennet has STRONG OPINIONS on people and BIG FEELINGS and honestly, mood.

Mr Bennet is still feral. "Btw I invited a stranger to dinner hope u made enough."
#YubiHears

I did not understand the letter from William Collins at all so here's hoping I understand it more when he arrives lol
#YubiHears

Mr Collins: I'm really really good at complimenting ladies here are some good ones I said once

Mr Bennet: 🙄 wowee however do you do it pray tell sir do you practice beforehand or do them on the fly

Mr Collins: let me break down my method for you, you see--
#YubiHears

The entire plot of Pride and Prejudice so far.
#YubiHears

UM IF ELIZABETH ENDS UP WITH MR COLLINS I'LL FUCKIN REVOLT

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!
#YubiHears

DARCY HAS DADDY ISSUES??? Oh my GOD his dad liked this Mr Wickham more than him oh my GOD he has DADDY ISSUES????

Jane Austen fuckin slaps!!!! Yes!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!

(I absolutely don't understand what it was that Darcy denied Wickham when his dad died though)
#YubiHears

I don't think this is what's going to happen but um ot3 Wickham Darcy and Elizabeth pls
#YubiHears

Wickham: I really shouldn't say I don't wanna be that bitch u know

Elizabeth: ok well I think Darcy is a massive wanker so u know

Wickham: OMG RIGHT??? You are not gonna BELIEVE what he did honestly he's the worst!! Settle in I'm about to rip this man a new one!!
#YubiHears i didn't tweet at the time but i am obsessed with how Elizabeth "picked up some needlework" while staying with the Bingleys.

WHO'S NEEDLEWORK? What needlework? I'm assuming she didn't bring it with her? Was it brought to her with some fresh pants or something? --
#YubiHears Did she just pick up someone else's slip work? Or tapestry work? Or was it mending, or maybe something like tatting or knotting purses??? I am OBSESSED!! What needlework did she do??? Just finished Catherine's embroidery?? Darn Darcy's socks???? WHAT WAS IT, AUSTEN!!!
#YubiHears ok I listened to the ball at the Bingley's house in the bath and couldn't tweet bcs I'm too vanilla for phone in bath but HOT DANG I am worried Mr Collins is going to make things terrible and I think he's AWFUL and also god the dancing with Darcy!!! Disaster humans!!!
#YubiHears I am also cringing at Mary singing can Mary not marry Mr Collins or something if he absolutely has to marry one of them
#YubiHears aww fuck off Collins this is a terrible proposal GOD I am also cringing with horror, Lizzie, dear LORD
#YubiHears

DEAR GOD COLLINS NO MEANS NO WHAT THE FUCK???

SHE ISN'T GOING TO MARRY YOU DON'T KEEP ASKING

WHY IS THIS SORT OF PERSON STILL AROUND UGH
#YubiHears oh my god Charlotte Lucas straight up marrying Mr Collins is absolutely fuckin TRAGIC but thank God he didn't end up with Elizabeth!!!!
#YubiHears

Mr Bennet: so Lizzie when are you getting dumped eh what about Wickham I bet he'd dump you

Lizzie: lol dad I'd be so lucky to be dumped by a guy like that

Mr Bennet: your mum would never ever ever let it go regardless haha

God this man is FERAL lmfao
#YubiHears

Ok I've lost the plot slightly bcs food poisoning but just to catch up... Jane has realised what a cockwomble Caroline is, Wickham has shrewdly gone with the girl with 10 grand, Lizzie is in the country with Charlotte and Mr Collins, his patroness is very posh -
#YubiHears

And odd and does Mr Collins want to be her or be with her we'll never know and GUESS who JUST TURNED UP it's MR DARCY!!!!!
#YubiHears

Darcy: ok but I don't know how to talk to strangers because I don't understand small talk or their tones and expressions

....... nd darcy? do we have an nd darcy???
#YubiHears

GASP!!! DID DARCY BREAK UP JANE AND GEORGE BINGLEY??? GAAAASP!!!!!!!!

JANE AUSTEN YOU SPIN A GOOD YARN ACTUALLY. HOT DAMN. I'M SO INVESTED!!!!
#YubiHears

Real quick, I study and do historical sewing, lace-making, and needlework. I'm looking to go into textile conservation. I always want to know more but my tweets about textiles reflect my enthusiasm, not a lack of knowledge! 💖 Ofc if u have detailed facts lmk!
#YubiHears

Lmao Elizabeth is SO MAD at Darcy and he's just appeared at the house where Elizabeth is hiding out with her headache and I am excited for her ripping into him for fuckin up what Jane and George had >:)
#YubiHears

MY FEELINGS WILL NOT BE REPRESSED WAIT WOAH WHAT

DARCY ARE YOU SERIOUSLY PICKING THIS EXACT MOMENT FOR A CONFESSION???

OH.

OH NO.
#YubiHears

OH NOOOO DARCY

"listen I tried really hard not to like you and honestly you still piss me off but it turns out I'm into it and it sucks because you're poor and shit and you're like, so beneath me? Like, I know I can do so much better? But god here we are, so. Marry?"
#YubiHears

Elizabeth: imma bout to destroy this man's whole life
#YubiHears

WELL. Now THAT was exciting! I'm actually not sure if they do end up together in this one but there is still like 5hrs to go.

My GOD she did not hold back and honestly??? Good for her!!!!!!
#YubiHears

i didn't get to listen to any last night because It Was A Day and i am CHOMPING at the bit for more tonight!!!

i'm genuinely mad at myself for thinking jane austen was going to be boring and rubbish??? who has done her this disservice that it was in my head??? Rude!
#YubiHears

RIGHT I AM CLAWING 30M FROM MY DAY FOR SOME AUSTEN WHILE I STITCH MY 1780S STAYS.

Elizabeth is out walking to clear her head after Darcy's amazing confession and OH GOD he's here and he's been walking around waiting for her with a letter oh my GOD, Darcy!!!!
#YubiHears

Dear Miss Bennet,

Ok look I did tell Bingley not to marry your sister! I reckoned her lack of dramatics meant she didn't love him bcs you can't have Feels without a big drama, right? Also I'mma be real, your mum is a fright, your dad feral, and god, your sisters???
#YubiHears

Oh SHIT we're dishing the dirt on Wickham omg!! WOW!! Well!! GOSH. Him trying to get Darcy's sister to elope with him when she was 15 is supremely gross!!!! He had me fooled too, Elizabeth!!!

(Also lol at the 'listen the fact u and Jane are so cool is a miracle' bit)
#YubiHears

BOY DO I HAVE EGG ON MY FACE REGARDING MY EARLIER SYMPATHY FOR WICKHAM.

DAMN.

What a dirty moneygrubber!!! What a nasty creep!!!!

I will be mad if Darcy is also lying here but I don't think he is that's too many twists.
#YubiHears

"Her feelings as she read were not to be defined"

WHAT A MOOD. DAMN.

I love how furious Elizabeth still is because like, yeah, he's still a disaster and like, the feeling of 'no! No fuckin way! I'm not reading it! ... Let me read this fuckin thing again chRIST!!'
#YubiHears

WELL THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK MAKES A BUNCH MORE SENSE NOW.

I GUESS WE WERE PREJUDICED, ELIZABETH. WE WERE PRIDEFUL! WE WERE QUICK TO JUDGE BASED ON OUR OWN STRONG FEELINGS AND NOW WE'VE BEEN DUPED BY OUR OWN PRIDE AND PREJJDICE.

OH HOW THE TURN TABLES INDEED, AUSTEN.
#YubiHears

God I have to go to bed, Jane!!!! What a fuckin TWIST!!! over 200 years later and I'm gonna be lying here shook!!! Now that's good writing!!! That's excellent stories!!!

And god if it isn't all still so relevant today??? Like holy shit is this relatable!!
#YubiHears

"In which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections."

Oh my GOD Jane your writing fuckin SLAPS!!!

I also v much like the dichotomy of acknowledging Darcy had acted fair, if blunt, and also just still deeply not liking him!!! That's so legit!
#YubiHears

UM I KNOW IT WAS A THROW-AWAY SORT OF JOKE BUT I LOVE THE GUY GOING IN 'DRAG' TO THE BALL IN A FULL GOWN????

Also dear god Lydia is Sure Something but also I'm worried about her like for Wickham if he is a nasty fortune hunter with a penchant for... I mean teens tbh
#YubiHears

Also tonight as I listen I am doing more embroidery on my 1770s waistcoat â˜ș

(All hand stitched in silk floss to my own designs)
#YubiHears

Omg the bit where Elizabeth is like "Jane the more you grieve over Darcy and Wickham the less invested I am in both" is fuckin EXCELLENT Lmaoooo

God I fell asleep before posting this
#YubiHears

Elizabeth reading Darcy's letter like
#YubiHears

Me: no fear
Lydia: invited to Brighton where the regiment are gonna be
Me: one fear
#YubiHears

DHDJSJS GOD MR BENNET IS FERAL

"Lizzie look, Lydia's never going to chill until she publicly humiliates herself and I can't think of anything better than her being in Brighton and not my concern while she does it. Which of your boyfriends did she scare off anyway."
#YubiHears

Mr Bennet: Lizzie if a man can't handle at least a middling degree of batshit ferality within a family he's a fool and a coward and you can do better.
#YubiHears

AWWW SHIT LIZZIE WHY'D YOU GO TO HIS DANG HOUSE MAN OF COURSE HE WAS GONNA TURN UP A DAY EARLY AND NOW YOU'RE BOTH BEING SO AWKWARD AHHHH! GOD! him asking her the same question 3 times in his distraction is so good though AH

ALSO WHY HE SO ANGY AT FIRST IF HE'S NICE?
