How was the exam, bb? Did it go well? *hands you metaphorical hot cocoa* *pets you*

OH MY GOSH REGENCY STYLE PROSE, KELSEY, IT'S SO DELIGHTFUL.
This is DEFINITELY my favorite part.

ELENA GILBERT AS THE FAMILY FRIEND AND MORE WORLDLY COMPANION QUIETLY IN LOVE WITH DAWN
I WAFFLED OVER THIS FOR WEEEEEEEKS! (my auntie and I have been watching ALL the different versions of Emma very slowly over the past couple of months and so I've had this idea in mind for a long while? AND LIKE. WHICH ONE IS KNIGHTLY???? I finally decided on Elena because like DAWN HAS ZERO CHILL?!)

CASTING THIS PIECE WAS SO GODDAMNED DIFFICULT LET ME TELL YOU!!!! Jane Fairfax was GOING to be Bonnie and THEN Anne/Lily (btvs) and THEN I decided on Caroline. but I thought Caroline was going to be Harriet for a long while lol why would i ever spike is the perfect harriet Anyway, what I finally decided to do was shrink the cast a bit, combine the sister role with the governess role for starters, and switch some personalities around a bit (which I think will be a bit more clear in the next segment).

It went okay. Some parts I fucked up, some parts I know I got full marks in. Eh. But I feel like I passed, so there's that.
