Yet Another Period Drama Blog: How to Get the Girl, Period Drama Style
Hahahaha, this was great! I'm SO glad you did a follow up post! I liked the last example especially hahaha. A bit surprised you didn't include Sir Percy, though! :) Oh well-it was still hilarious!!
haha. I love the Enjolras one. :)
I wasn't going to do this, but I am. I have to protest. What kind of dumdumkoff of a biscuit's daughter-- nooooono no wait. That's not proper etiquette. WHY DO YOUno shouting. Okay. What exactly puts it into your head that Raoul is controlling because he wants to take his girl out to dinner and concocts a slightly risky scheme to save her life. *goes and rants to Anne-girl about pitiful misinterpretation of characterization in musicals*
Both of these posts were awesome! It's ridiculous how Bertie always has women falling for him! :)
Natalie,Well, I included Marguerite in my ladies' post and so I didn't put Percy in this one-- tried to use different stories for each. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!Wilber,Wilber, Wilber, Wilber. This is tongue-in-cheek. Farcical, darling. Humorous. Satirical. Raoul is, in my opinion, as controlling as Mr. Darcy is intensely creepy. That is, barely at all, but just enough so as to make it (hopefully) funny when someone makes a joke of it. But I will take your name-calling and shouting in good grace. You do, after all, tell me secrets now and then and I should like to keep my record running.
Ramin in both phantom photos? Check!! POTH were he just plays all male parts=HEAVEN! February 24, 2015 at 11:02 PM
Heeeeeeheheheheheeee. Loved this immensely. "She'll tell you to get rid of the mustache. Do it."HAHAHAHAHA.:DAnd I didn't think you'd get through that without mentioning Eponine... haha. ;) You missed David Copperfield though. That is sad. After all, he got TWO girls and therefore must be an expert...
This was EVEN better. Bravo! :-)
This is bound to work! Next fellow I know searching for a wife I'll direct him to this post. :D
AHAHAHAHAHA OH MY WORDY. This is perfect!!! Like Naomi said - even better than the last. :-) February 25, 2015 at 9:29 AM
Pretty funny stuff, my dear. ;-)
(*inserts another Taylor Swift reference in here*) "Aaaand that's how it works--that's howwww you get the girrrrrl! Oh-ooooh-oh!" But seriously, Enjolras is my favorite :D February 25, 2015 at 10:42 AM
Too, funny! I absolutely love both posts. Just one note, a violet field would be even more romantic than a barley field! ;)
Ha Ha!!! Yet another great, humorous post. February 25, 2015 at 12:47 PM
"You might have some competition going on in the basement."Holy wombats.
I was secretly hoping you would do one for guys, too, after your hilarious post last week. SO happy you included B. Wooster!!! The Enjolras one is a riot (no pun intended) . . . February 25, 2015 at 1:22 PM
I firmly believe that Laurie only grew that mustache to test the true love of his chosen lady. :)Poor Erik and his unrequited love! I feel terribly for him. I guess he had simply read the wrong kind of romance novels.Oh, and Enjolras! I haven't watched the musical so I only have a nodding acquaintance with him, but from what I have heard of his character a man would do well to study some of its keener points. :)
This is perfect; I had an idiotic grin on my face the whole time I read it. Little Women, both POTO's, and Enjolras are my favorite.
This is a brilliant list! And so true. I feel like with many period dramas I can love them while still at the same time recognising how unbelievable some of the events are (maybe I even love them for that very reason!). Your Phantom of the Opera one was brilliant; I've always found that particular story perplexing. "Dress up a dummy that looks just like her in a wedding gown and keep it in your sinister underground lair. Don't show it to her, though-- you might freak her out. Can't think why." Sums up my thoughts perfectly. :D
This MADE MY DAY. thank you for this, I'll be sure to pass it on to any potential period drama heroes I happen to meet. :)
(And whenever anyone mentions Taylor Swift and/or 'Shake It Off', I think of 'Mary's gonna fake, fake, fake, and Sherlock's gonna hate, hate, hate, so I'll just shave it off, shave it off.' :D)
Number six is the best! xD I've nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award, it's over here if you want to take part: http://musicandmymind.blogspot.fi/2015/03/blogger-recognition-award.html
Haha! That's good Amy! I second the Enjonine ship over and over, it's just too cute! And, I mean the looks in the movie! After she comes to the cafe and after she dies - guys, why couldn't it stop raining so we could see he was crying?! :)
Tip #1 really works-trust me! I had a young man staring intensely at me for many months-and I fell for him hard. (To be fair, he did have such lovely wide eyes...never mind) But it never went beyond that... March 6, 2015 at 6:30 PM
Loved this! This is my first time visiting your blog, but I'll be back! :) ~Abigail www.atime2write.com April 13, 2015 at 8:01 PM
