Shag, Marry, Shove off a Cliff Meme (reprise)

Apr 04, 2011 23:13

I had to go and open my big mouth (via keyboard) and asked laurielover1912 for another three names. I think she knows me too well, and knows I like a challenge - she gave me Heathcliff, Mr Darcy and Edward Rochester.

What's a girl to do??

( My (dubious to many I'd say) choices )

I can't log on, so if this doesn't show as me, it is me, laurielove thingy ( ... )

Ah - I seem to have logged on unawares. Fair enough, after having struggled all bloody day with f***ing LJ.

Grr.

You're not alone - I think that LJ was under attack again. It was wonky when I posted this entry, but I must have gotten in just under the wire, because I couldn't get on after that to see if I could edit the wonky fonts, and a typo.

YAY! We agree! Yep, Heathcliff would be a great shag. Like you, though, I doubt if it would last more than a week or two at most. But that sort of intensity would be wonderful in the sack.

Your take on Rochester and Darcy, though differently worded, is along the same lines - I agree, Darcy would be closed off emotionally, and, also, I really do feel he'd always have that underlying conviction that he'd 'married down'. As I said, he'd better look like the lovely Colin Firth if he wants saving.

We'll more than likely have quite a few thinking we should have a visit from the mental health team for this, you know... lol!

I really must say, I'm far more partial to the Bronte's writing than Jane Austen's - I'd love to have read the original Wuthering Heights - apparently, they had her take out quite a bit of language that was 'too strong for reader's sensibilities' and when you look at the language she did use, I imagine it would have been even more shocking than it already was when published ( ... )

Hmmm, where do I start ( ... )

Oh La Bib, you crack me up ( ... )

labibliographe April 5 2011, 01:09:25 UTC

That's what I mean about Heathcliff being exhausting -- as you said, "the midnight flit, name change, and possible move abroad! (or, perhaps, a nice scenic walk along the cliff edge".

And, Hmmm, I don't exactly see training Darcy as going to all that trouble. But if you do, then, yes, you need to shag ol' Heathcliff senseless, then give him flying lessons while he's still in the afterglow. One warning: I don't think, given the excerpt you posted from Wuthering Heights here, that Heathcliff is going to forget Cathy (that's why he's my cliff candidate). If she'd never existed, maybe you figure he'd just be another hot, horny male who could ride you to oblivion? As long as we're in fantasy mode, it works out perfectly for you (and for my riding crop, LOL).

LOL! That's the beauty of fantasy... we're all winners! Oblivion, here I come... then, a nice walk along the cliffs.

And I LOVE that userpic... the answer, is, of course - yes please! lol! (taking advantage of Subsection A here)

How in earth did you avoid heading this "Reader, I married Him?"

(Or even 'Reader, I shagged him.')

I've never been able to read Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights - not my sort of books at all, far too gloomy and wordy. On the whole, despite your quite reasonable objections, I'd probably marry Darcy for same reason as Elizabeth states "his beautiful grounds at Pemberley".

Someone is going to have to hit me with a trio...

darklotus1211 April 7 2011, 02:02:15 UTC

Sorry about the delay in giving you a trio - busy week - but I'm going to go a mixed bag again, as I did with ranger...

How about:
Lancelot
Valmont
Indiana Jones

Can't get much more mixed than that!

laurielover1912 April 7 2011, 15:51:14 UTC

Is this 'Let's see how far apart on a historical time-line I can place potential shags?'

In that case, how about ...

I can't say that I have read from start to finish any of the books, although I can claim to have got halfway through Wuthering Heights but because I had heard it never got any better and it was so awfully sad up to the point I'd got up to, I couldn't make myself finish it.

I, like so many others, however, certainly reached out one arm to the tortured soul of Heathcliff, that was until I put the book down and never picked it up again.

I cannot say where he would go, but again, I would probably shag him. It would be so tortured, so intense, but different from the Wolverine one for me. Aside from him, I can't comment on the others.
