And my final question, because this sounds fascinating: what was your mother's journey wandering around California calling herself Moon Star, to raising her daughter in a small town where you call all grown ups Mr and Miss, and get sent to the principal's office for one single swear? That seems a pretty big change in lifestyle.

@findingbeautyinthepain8965 2 года назад

Just pausing to say that deep space nine is fantastic. The first season was really rough as the characters were being flushed out, but once you get to the second season and beyond its fanfeakingtastic...With the exception of maybe the last season which I fell off of - it was incredibly forward thinking and interesting since it was more or less a stationary pass through rather than going out on an adventure.

@EllieDashwood 2 года назад

Yes!!! That is what I always say. You have to get through the first couple seasons to really get into it! They had such a better opportunity to build a complex/longterm story arc because they were stationary!

"Choose a country to live in" > "London" 😂 In all seriousness though, as a Brit from the North East of England (also part Scottish and Irish) I would like to emphasise once again that THERE IS MORE TO THE UK THAN LONDON. London is one of the worst parts of the country and in the modern day it is not representative of our wider country or culture - anywhere else is guaranteed to be better. We have some of the most beautiful countryside, architecture, and amazing history in the world (although I may be biased lol). If you would like to visit the UK, please don't just go to London! I would particularly recommend County Durham, Northumberland, Cumbria, and the Yorkshire counties. Outside of the north I would recommend Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, East Anglia, Somerset, and Cornwall . Full of countrysides, castles, villages, history, local food, interesting accents - I could go on. And that's just within England! ❤

Also, your christmas markets are freaking amazing.

Thirty-five years ago I spent the summer working near Cambridge and every weekend hired a car to sightsee: Lake District had tea with an old lady who knew Beatrice Potter, summer festival and joust at Belvoir Castle, a day at Canarvon in Wales and last minute tickets to the Tattoo in Edinburg. But the most hauntingly beautiful place was the ruin of Kirby Hall in Northamptonshire, I still think of it.

@user-zo4ig4xx5n 2 года назад

As a proud Greek who actually lives in Greece I absolutely adore the name Electra. It's the name I would have chosen for myself if I had been given a chance but I was named Lemonia instead which means lemon tree in Greek, following a Greek custom according to which grandchildren should be named after their grandparents. Thank God my mum changed it to Lenia which is Russian and more my vibe as I love Russian literature. As far as Jane Austen heroines are concerned I would like to be Emma but I think I am an Elinor, Marianne and Fanny combination if that makes any sense. Love from Greece

@EllieDashwood 2 года назад

That is all so cool! Are you Russian at all, or did your mom just like Lenia better? And that is so cool that you live in Greece!!! Also, Elinor/Marianne/Fanny would be an epic combination!

I can relate on learning to love your name. My first name is Victoria, but I grew up in the '90s when all of the girls were named Abigail, Britney, Lindsey, Nicole, etc. I hated my first name for the longest time. I wanted to be Nicole so badly because after a while getting asked, "Hey, Victoria, what's your secret?" gets super old. As I've grown up and gotten older, I've learned to appreciate and love my first name.

@EllieDashwood 2 года назад

First of all, Victoria is an AMAZING name. Second of all, "Hey, Victoria, what's your secret?" is awful. And yet I still laughed. I'm sure everyone who ever said that also thought they were being super original. 😂

Where I grew up in the 90s, while Britney and Nicole were common, Abigail didn't seem to become popular until the late 2000s. I only knew of one Abigail growing up (me). I had one or two Victorias (great name by the way, very queenly) in my class at school however.

I'm an unlikely commentor, having seen your video "How not to marry a Wickham", but not being a Jane Austen fan. I am a lifelong Star Trek fan, however. I grew up watching Original Series reruns, and graduated the year Next Gen debuted. Deep Space Nine is definitely the best written Trek series ever. Spock will always be my favorite character, but DS9 is complex, dramatic, and dynamic (not only in regards to characters, but overall). My close friends who are also lifelong Trekkies feel the same way.

@andreathompson7896 8 месяцев назад

Elinor Dashwood is one of my favourites. I can only aspire to be her! She's very grounded, lives in the real world and has a good understanding of what needs to be done. Her mother was just trying to cope with the change in circumstances and her sister was wallowing in self-pity. Her brother wasn't going to help so she stepped up and got things done. She understood how important their friends were and was always respectful of them, but wasn't blinded to their faults. No one fooled her or conned her (e.g. Wickham ). She's a character that got the memo and took action. Yes Lizzie Bennett was clever and quick witted, but she was also living a bit in denial about her personal circumstances. Turning down Mr Collins in her financial situation was a big rash move. Because we follow her in the book and love her we totally get why she said no to him, but the reality is that marrying him would have secured her future and she was as clever as Charlotte Lucas and could easily have ... erm manipulated him. Also if she doesn't marry then she would have to be dependent on one of her sisters to marry well and take her in - something she admits to Jane! Whatever you might think of Edward he is kind, amiable and honourable. Elinor doesn't need someone who will take control of everything, she doesn't want or need a Darcy - she's perfectly capable of getting things done herself.

@hooraylaw 2 года назад

I got Eliza Bennet on that quiz too even though I picked many different things than you. Then I found one that tells you which two you’re like and I got Anne Elliot and Fanny Price, which is probably more accurate although my eyes are fine lol. I like my own company and am rarely lonely.

@leag.d.2495 2 года назад

I too am a huge Star Trek fan! I didn’t live during the airing on TV, but I did grew up with it. I watched every series and every season of it. I loved all of the “old” Star Trek Series (not the new ones). Personally DS9 is my second favorite Star Trek Series (after TNG, which is hard to top) of all time and one of my top ten favorite series. I was extremely prejudiced, when I started watching it since it is about a space station and not a space ship, so what could ever happen there? But the more I watched it, the more I started loving it and, like Elisabeth Bennet, changing my opinion entirely. I’m new to this channel, but I really enjoy your content. It made me really appreciate Jane Austen’s work and interested in this part of history, which is rarely discussed in school, where I come from. (I’m sorry for my grammar, English is not my native language.)

Oh Ellie! I love hearing your thoughts on literature and history! As an avid student of that particular portion in which castles were built...I MUST inform you that though indeed they were built for defense.. those parts that were lived in were indeed quite cozy! They had plastered and painted walls, decorations, and much more to create it into a home. Those that were renovated for later living in the 16-1800s were equally as fit for comfort as those that lived their could afford. *I still want to live in one!!

@lovetolovefairytales 2 года назад

I'm definitely Fanny Price with occasional Marianne Dashwood type outbursts. I don't need a quiz to tell me, I'm painfully self aware. Edit, took the quiz just to see: buzzfeed says I'm Jane Bennett. 😂 Definitely wrong. Much as I like her and Bingley, I don't think I have anything in common with her. I stand by my first remark. I'm a Fanny that turns into a Marianne when she's miffed. Though I probably do have a bit of Catherine Morland in me somewhere, that I'll concede.

@bertuccigirl 2 года назад

@@EllieDashwood I think he was just a little clueless about the fact that Elinor cared for him too until it was too late.

I tried to "reform" people too, when I was around the same age. Same results🤣. I still have that tendancy, but I am much better at holding my tongue, and try to only say something if it comes up naturally in conversation and I feel I can state my opinion with humility and kindness.

Also, the fact that your actual name is Electra is wild. Very, very original

@swymaj02 2 года назад

If I had to choose between the six books/films, Anne of Green Gables is the one. Love the characters with a passion.

@Ami-zi6si 2 года назад

DS9 is great! its my favourite startrek series by far. The school anecdote is kinda pecious too. Like, seeing all these kids who in your perspective was ruining their lives and trying so hard to help them get back on track.

@doublequilI 2 года назад

DS9 is by far my favorite. It has in depth characters and character analysis and in a lot of ways is the most human, if that makes any sense.

@juliamariazimmermann8880 2 года назад

I took the same answer as you, Ellie, ONCE, and I got Elizabeth Bennet, too. Tells you everything you need to know about the quiz's quality...

@susanwoosnam1697 Год назад

U r correct, DS9 (best drama with humor) and Voyager are complete stories whereas the others were crafted in the original, more episodic method.

@leannasmithberger9130 2 года назад

I love DS9...it's so deep and complex compared to other series!

@martina.teislerova 7 месяцев назад

You love Deeps Space 9, Voyager and TNG! That's amazing! 💖 And I think that DS9 is the best of them.

So nice to hear about the thoughts behind the user name! Laughing pretty hard at the reforming part...pretty sure when I was in graduate school for chemistry (master's and PhD), 3/4 of the other students were potheads, or at least were on the weekend 😆 not to mention the geologists and physicists!

Ellie you have to watch Babylon 5! It’s like Deep Space 9! (In fact the rumors are that Babylon 5 actually inspired the creators of Deep Space 9) Edit: we got a lot of Ellie lore in this video!

@traceymars 2 года назад

This is very interesting but I also like drawing and painting (been doing this since I was 3) and I like Voyager too. Did not think that mix of Jane Austin, drawing and Voyager would exist in someone else’s hobbies.

@kdmurray 2 года назад

DS9 is amazing. Some of the best writing in Trek history and an appreciated "darker" diversion from the very clean and polished world of TNG. Now I need to go watch "In the Pale Moonlight."

@Me_578 2 года назад

The fact that Dashwood is not your last name broke my heart a little

@sofiafuentes6633 2 года назад

the "castle" is Neuschwanstein in Germany, and it was a quite modern castle, built in medieval style but with modern facilities, so this one is not cold or drafty, it actually had one of the first phones installed.

@Tuskenknits 2 года назад

I felt the same about my massive and heavy backpack. The other kids (and even my friends) made fun of me because I always took all my school books home. Also, I was one step behind you, and seriously never even realized that many of my classmates were probably smoking pot.

@EllieDashwood 2 года назад

I’m glad I wasn’t the old one who took their books home! 😃😂 Also, I wouldn’t have realized either had they not literally smoked it in the middle of class, out in the open right next to the running trail for everyone to see except the teacher who would just send us out to run and then lounge by the buildings. 😂 The first few weeks I was like, “How is everyone not getting expelled?!” 😂

I actually searched up the Buzzfeed quiz and took it along with Ellie, and then retook it with different answers see if I would get a different character. I ended up getting Elinor Dashwood both times!

@AH-yi3rl 2 года назад

Longtime TNG fan here. Old enough to remember when it was on regular tv and extremely popular. The TNG movies started coming out when I was a teen and I own all four on DVD. I have never tried watching DS9, but you and other commenters here have piqued my interest. Maybe I'll give it a try on Netflix, assuming it's there. Also would say that I am an Elinor type except that I don't draw ✍️. Instead, I am more like Marianne in the "what I do in my spare time" respect! 🎶 🎼 🎵

@RianShafer 10 месяцев назад

I DO like DS9 & we just bought the entire Voyager series, its absolutely amazing in the newest format & our Samsung 4K big screen to watch it on. It's crazy cool in details. I definitely would be a Lizzy type person with a tiny pinch of Emma... I gave up match making long ago though. lol

@ericbogerd5306 2 года назад

Never thought it was true, but sort of makes sense that I got Emma Woodhouse. I do spend a lot of time meddling in other peoples problems... kind of my job as a chaplain/life coach.

@nicholedavis2689 2 года назад

Hey Ellie. You are totally lucky to be called Electra. I am a Nichole and not only does no one spell it correctly and there were always at least 2 to 3 others in just about every class I was in. I love your content by the way. I watch it with my daughter. She's 8. I've read Pride and Prejudice to her and your content gets her excited about the other novels now too.

@tymanung768 2 года назад

There are a no. of US and Japanese (English translations) graphic novels of at least some of Jane Austen s. text novels. Most or all seem to be for sale on line. If the Japanese manga versions are not on line, Barnes and Noble sells some. Enjoy!! Good, luck!! text novels.!!

@liljenborg2517 2 года назад

I'm an Old School Trekker, but of the three 90s series, I like the writing and story of DS9 the best. I liked the characters: Bashir and Garak, Worf and Dax, Nog - Nog is one of the best Trek characters of all time - I loved the way they made a character out of Morn, a character then never has a line the entire series and was just supposed to be background scenery in Quark's bar. I liked the way it took Gene Roddenberry's ideal, utopian world and kind of pushed all it's buttons and pointed out all of its flaws. My senior year of high school, even though I had a centrally located locker, I carried all my textbooks in my bag all the time, to the point that at the end of the year when it was time to clean out the lockers, I had to have the janitor open my locker for me, because I hadn't used the thing so long, I'd forgotten the combination. I did recover that favorite sweat jacket I'd been looking for forever. I also spent every bit of free time in the library sheltering from the drama and crowds in the cafeteria (and finding new books to read - and my school library didn't have much sci-fi or fantasy at all, and that's my forte). As a long-time Daredevil fan, Electra is one of my favorite female names (she's even filling in as Daredevil these days in the comic). As for which Jane Austin character I am: my wife says I'm Darcy, but without the money. I can live with that.
