Mr. Darcy (Pride & Prejudice & Wrestling) WIP 2

I went through a journey with generating the idea for this piece. When I first heard Mr. Darcy my immediate reaction was…What? What am I going to do with that?!?! What does Darcy even look like? I didn’t watch this movie. Am I going to have to watch the move? Wait, no, it’s audio. I can make him look however I want. Yeah, but you would have used Keira Knightly. That’s because it’s Keira Knightly. If you have a chance to use her do so. So, what’s Darcy like in the flash fiction? Kind of a sad boy because he really wants to tag with Lizzy but she’s not having it. Huh, ooh, wait, sad boy, sad ripped boy. But what style of wrestling attire? You know what you must do. Who said that? It’s Edge. It was always Edge. Yes, voice in my head. This is sad boy Edge.

And that’s how we got here. Mr. Darcy is on the steps leading to the ring looking up at Elizabeth, asking her to let him be her tag partner. He’s wearing a long coat because of course he is. I went with a shaggier longer hair than would be accepted in Victorian England but this is wrestling, and I heavily borrowed from Edge. He’s going to be wearing long tights in the SFW version because that gives me room to print stuff on his leggings.
