Samovar posted:Oh, sorry - what I heard was that the setting of these romances allowed for a relatively mainstream exploration of romantic relationships where there are rules/code of conduct which effectively 'protects' characters from the dangers that one can have with more modern-day relationships. What in all the hells does this even mean?

Foxfire_ posted:Count of Monte Cristo belongs in the media that did not age well thread. There's a subplot with the Count buying a child slave, raising her, then marrying her in the end. (Not included in the Wishbone version) Alexandre Dumas's grandmother was a slave under similar circumstances, for some context.

(Not included in the Wishbone version) It gets kinda weird as he didn't actually intend to marry her, and basically is keeping her around as a weapon since she can expose the treachery of one of the people the Count is out for revenge against, but she fell in love with him anyway and he's basically 'Oh, what the hey'

 I dreamed I was eating a giant marshmallow, and when I woke up, my wife had left me, and she had taken my giant marshmallow with her.  It's rude to interrupt someone  Cats can siphon matter from pocket dimensions, Beartato. Everyone knows that.  Learning: It's Rad
