LBD 30 day challenge day 18: Favorite ship

This one is a tie. Of course I love Darcy and Lizzie because they're perfect for each other, but I also like Bing and Jane.  Darcy and Lizzie are both similar in matters of pride and prejudice (not just a shout out to the novel.) Darcy's prejudice comes with his view of people, especially Lizzie's family. His pride comes from the social status that he believes in, and what he expects of himself. Lizzie is quick to judge and does so often without reflecting on her judgements. This is her prejudice. She judges people based on what she hears and witnesses. Her pride is her personality. She has a habit of wanting to stand out, and her opinions will be heard, regardless of their exaggeration or bias.
Jane and Bing are different. They have similar dispositions, and both of them are kind, caring and trusting of their family and close friends. There's something charming about two similar personalities, but they are not identical. Bing values his friend's opinion over his own feelings. Jane doesn't show her feelings right away, but she trusts them completely. Although status is an important part of the novel, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries makes the issue different. Jane becomes busy to get her mind off off Bing and she doesn't sit around waiting for him to return, she changes. So even though Jane and Bing are both kind and caring, they respond to situations very differently.
That's why my favorite ship is tied. Darcy and Lizzie are a conflicting couple. Jane and Bing are a sweet couple. Both of these relationships reflect the personalities of the characters very nicely, and help them grow and learn.

LBD 30 day challenge day 15: Something you didn't expect to happen?

I thought it was interesting that instead of traveling with her aunt and uncle, Lizzie was shadowing Darcy's company. It's a nice twist, but since they showed Netherfield, I thought they would have an event at Darcy's house, or she would be on vacation when she saw the place. Having Pemberley be a company was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. It gave Lizzie plenty of time to get to know Darcy, Gigi and learn about what she wanted to do in the future for a career.

LBD 30 day challenge day 9: Favorite actor

Daniel Gordh. He makes an excellent Darcy, and he's currently in a competition on twitter to get as many followers as Taco Bell. He also played a charismatic Augustus and seems to have fun on his cameos and interviews. My personal favorite was his performance of "Do You Believe in Magic" with Ashley Clements.

LBD 30 day challenge day 6: Best costume theater

Charlotte as Caroline and Jane as Darcy. This scene was so great, and I thought they did a great job with their personalities.

LBD 30 day challenge day 3: Favorite Male character


William Darcy.
We actually don't meet Darcy until episode 59, but we hear about him in Lizzie's point of view, and we see him act through costume theater. Naturally, Lizzie tells Darcy about her videos, and we see his reaction to this, to make our own opinion about his character. From then on, Darcy is aware of the videos, and appears in them again to explain his story with Wickham, and then becomes a regular appearance in Pemberly Digital. He's also in Gigi's Domino videos, where we see him take action against Wickham's scandal. As Lizzie's opinion changes about Darcy, we see him more for who he is, instead of her portrayal of him. Darcy is awkward, but he is also a loyal friend, and a kind person.
