Tumblr crosspost (5 December 2020)

I reblogged my Fitzwilliam headcanon dramatis personae post, and added:

Note: when I was re-conceptualizing my Fitzwilliam headcanons, I had the idea of using an actual title invented by Austen, and then actually having the earl be that person and going from there. So:

• The dowager Lady Ravenshaw here = the grandmother whose death puts an end to the theatricals in MP
• Lord Ravenshaw here = P&P’s Lord ___ + MP’s Lord Ravenshaw, “one of the most correct men in England”
• Lady Catherine = P&P’s Lady Catherine (of course)
• Lady Ravenshaw = MP’s Lady Ravenshaw, who was playing Agatha very well
• Lord Rochford = Colonel Fitzwilliam’s implied older brother in P&P
• Lady Anne Brydges = mine, all mine!
• Lady Mary Carlisle = the mother of the children whose existence necessitates the governess (playing the cottager’s wife) in MP
• Colonel Fitzwilliam = P&P’s Colonel Fitzwilliam
• Anne de Bourgh, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Georgiana Darcy = P&P
• Sophia and Margaret Carlisle = children overseen by MP’s governess
