16 Times Austen-Twitter Was the Best Twitter

Eleven months of the year, I find myself saving tweets and links and all manner of Jane Austen -related things, and then August rolls around, and I forget about all of them. So to say that my bookmarks bar, Evernote notes and Twitter bookmarks are crammed and chaos-filled is an understatement.

But this year, I actually remembered to wade through the Twitter pile, at least, and pull out some of my favorite Austenesque amusements from the mass. Presented below, you'll find a curation of some of my favorites, from general Darcy-obsession to Lady Catherine De-Bird. I highly suggest you give each of the users a follow, for occasional (or continual) Austen love and humor, if nothing else.

Enjoy, and let me know of any you've come across!

JANE: are you sure you should trust this guy Wickham? you met him literally 5 minutes ago
LIZZY: (incredulously) you think a hot person would just lie? just stand there and be hot and lie?

God bless Jane Austen for naming the prettiest, kindest, most generous, most patient character in Pride and Prejudice after herself

that is self-love and I am on board

Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's perspective is the story of an awkward man attending a series of parties where he doesn't really know anyone and acting weird about it, someone please write this Midnight Sun style companion novel

I take no leave of you, Miss Bennet: I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased. pic.twitter.com/z9BGEcwjbx

Ladies, if he

-Refuses to dance at his friend’s ball
-Either Ignores or insults you at every encounter
- Foils the romance between your sister & his friend
- Insults your family during a marriage proposal

Then he’s not your man.
He’s the Master of Pemberley, Fitwilliam Darcy

one thing i love about jane austen is that she's like "riding a horse isn't sexy. u know what's sexy? CARRYING an EXTRA UMBRELLA. what's sexy is when a man DISTRACTS and REMOVES some INFANTS who are BOTHERING U. NOTICING when ur TIRED and finding u a SEAT...THAT is the sex"

therapist: And what do we say when we feel like this?

me: you are the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.

therapist: no.
