It's about sight/blindness/intimacy, and I dearly hope that it will be worth reading!

That's amazing, hahaha. I wonder if they were any good? (and was the recipe intended for patients or the doctorsβ€”to keep up their strength)

I do too, haha! Essentially, because the thesis is about sight/blindness/intimacy, I've included Blind Pew and the little exchange that happens between Rizzo and Gonzo during that scene (I'm arguing it's relevant because I also mentioned the original Treasure Island right before this)

This isn’t about taking out Iran’s leadership at all or liberating the Iranians. Tehran is a city with 11 million people and we are bombing them into the stone ages and causing great suffering all because BiBi wants to vanquish Iran like he did to Gaza.

This is immoral.

This isn’t our war.

Three screenshots from the BBC's 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation. 
First panel: Miss Caroline Bingley, a smirking white woman with dark hair, says "Mr Darcy, has this escapade affected your admiration for her fine eyes?"
Second panel: Mr Darcy, a serious white man with dark hair, replies "Not at all! They were brightened by the exercise."
Third panel: Miss Caroline Bingley looks at the floor, clearly stumped, and her inner thoughts read "dammit"

Three screenshots from the BBC's 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation. First panel: Miss Caroline Bingley, a smirking white woman with dark hair, says "Mr Darcy, has this escapade affected your admiration for her fine eyes?" Second panel: Mr Darcy, a serious white man with dark hair, replies "Not at all! They were brightened by the exercise." Third panel: Miss Caroline Bingley looks at the floor, clearly stumped, and her inner thoughts read "dammit"

And thus begins THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY, wherein said lady decides to reinvent herself to become just as Kind & Sweet & Irritatingly Beloved as Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

But she's going to need help, and who better to reform her than her former crush's sister, Georgiana Darcy? Only...

The cover of THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY by Lindz McLeod. Two women in regency dress sit on a pink picnic blacket. The blonde woman in the light yellow dress offers a bright red apple to the dark-haired woman in the purple dress. Behind them we can see a lake and in the far distance, two horses stand in front of a grand house.

"There's an enjoyable slow burn romance that heats up in a very satisfactory way... A bouncy, energetic feel-good take that's infinitely less mean-spirited than the source text and offers happiness to far more people."
