I LOVE how Darcy is choosing to relate to Lizzie. I love how he has seen her opinions of him and of herself and everything else and he understands that he can show he respects her by the valuing the things she values. WITHOUT making it about their potential for relationship or even making that the smallest factor in anything. But it isn't him backing down or just rolling over and pedestalizing her and saying "omygosh you're so smart and right about everything" either, which I think would alienate her by him not forming his own opinions.
I need to make a comparison post of Lizzie/Darcy and Belle/Rumpelstiltskin. Because SO MUCH of what I see with Lizzie and Darcy is, I think, exactly what Belle and Rumple need, and what I'm hoping for in the upcoming storyline. Because Lizzie isn't making Darcy "earn" her love or saying she'll stick by him if he agrees to get his shit together, she's living her life and he's living his and he sees that she has values worth respecting and he is reasonable enough to subsequently respect them as well. And that's what I want to see.
