Lydia Bennet: The Tape and The Trial

Okay, now that everyone is blowing up about Lydia (and believe me, I am too), I would just like to compile the best of the best ideas I have seen into one massive theory.

First: yes, there is a sex tape. We will never see it, probably due to Darcy or Lizzie or - hey - maybe even Jane, if she grows some balls. (I really hope she does.)

Second: no, Lydia did not consent. I mean, come on, guys. There is no motivation behind her to consent. Besides, she and only she is in the headline. The ad for the tape is clearly centered on her and her alone.

Third: yes, Darcy can fix this. No, he cannot get rid of it, and I kind of doubt that he will be the one to destroy the tape. (If not Jane…Gigi?) However, there is one course of action left to Darcy, thanks to his wads of money: lawyers. That’s right, Darcy can help Lydia sue Wickham’s butt off. True, the law may not be entirely favorable of Lydia’s case due to her being 21, but Darcy and his lawyers can find a way, I’m sure.

Fourth: Wickham’s plot. To get money? I’m sure that is a factor, to be sure, but I don’t think it is the only one. I think this is revenge against Lizzie, for telling the true story of Darvid and Batman, and Darcy, for being so awesome. After all, it’s altogether too easy to plant the video and blame Lizzie for posting the tape. That way, he can all too easily emotionally wrangle Lydia into eloping with him. And I’m sure we all can imagine the damage he could do to the Bennet family from the inside.

It’s a sport. Those girls are marching band color-guard girls during the summer touring season, and during the winter they compete against other color-guard teams to music. Costumes, props, mats, everything has to be carried onto the gym floor and then taken back away and counts as part of your performance time.  So when Family Guy or other popular media makes fun of color-guard girls, it pisses me off. We are not rejected cheerleaders. We are what you see above. We kick ass. We spin rifles and flags and sabers.  ok that’s pretty badass. Dude. I love color-guard. It’s awesome.  (but just for the record, cheerleading is pretty badass too. We throw people in the air. And catch them.) My darling girl, there is a REASON that half the women I write are combat cheerleaders.  Alice Healy did basket tosses.  And the Fighting Pumpkins are FOREVER. Just another reason I adore you. Mwah. I had a shirt in high school that said, “Color Guard:  If you can’t hack it, go try cheerleading.”  We had girls in our guard who were cheerleaders who swore up and down guard was harder than cheer. *shrug*  All I know it was wasn’t cut out to cheer, but you’ll hand me a fake sword and tell me to throw it around?  To music?  OKAY! You know that whole “we throw people in the air and catch them” bit? Yeah, my guard has done that too. In guard class, we learned so much more about taking care of our bodies and exercise and having fun that happens to be exercise than in any PE class I have ever been forced to take. But do you know how my school scheduled it? Apparently, it’s a music class. WTF? But seriously, guard gets the worst rep. “Not good enough” to be cheerleaders, “too geeky” to be dance team, “not talented enough” to be actually band, and “not disciplined enough” to be ROTC, and the entire school ignores you and boos you on the field. I could rant, but I’ll let the numerous amazing guards out there explain why we’re better, more talented, more disciplined, and just geeky enough to be awesome. :)
