there is something about that person saying “Maybe so” in that popular gif that gives off the aura of this….. shakespearean swagger. you know what i mean? there’s something about it that’s so imbued with such elegant panache with the way this person looks when they say it. it’s impossible to replicate.
It’s the way she’s elegantly seated higher above the rest. The way her mouth moves without expression in the rest of her face, like she’s bored and ready for a fight, but knows she will beat them at every possible game. She is not addressing the camera, or the audience, or anyone else around her. She is looking from the corner of her eye, speaking to one person specifically, who we cannot see. She knows her place and knows exactly how to speak to them to show that she has power she knows how to use.
