Kanthony as Popular Ship Dynamics- Talks a lot/Listens

[blankspaceblankday]

Alright, so since we don't know who's the lead for season 4, and we mostly think Eloise needs someone who will actually call her out on stuff, and clearly the canon relationships at this point are up for grabs, I propose a Theloise potential storyline.

In this season there was the focus on heirs and family inheritance and how surprise titles just are like a thing. From Season 2, we know the Sheffields don't have a male heir, or at least we can assume so, as we never see or hear of one. As Edwina has made a good match on the continent, likely her first born son would inherit whatever title is there, assuming there's only one. And she doesn't seem to have gotten pregnant yet either. This means the Sheffields would need to hold out another couple of years to have an heir, even from the daughter they basically disinherited. But clearly, it's also possible for families to go searching for the nearest male next of kin who would inherit which we saw in the Mondrich plotline this season.

Enter Theo, a like 4th cousin of the Sheffields. They find him, and quite forcefully don't let him out if it, because well he can actually read and is young, fit, and healthy. But he's really not a fan of this, doesn't want it really, is always talking about workers rights etc. in an attempt to tire him out, and for him to be more palatable to the Ton, they buy him a commission, because there's very much a war on. It's a cushy one that's unlikely to see too much battle so he's not at major risk but it should alter his life priorities or something.

Danbury hears that the Sheffields are sending this poor lad of to war, doesn't connect Theo Heir to be Sheffields, to Eloise's printer apprentice Theo and tells Kate about him. They decide to invite him to the next ball as he's kind of her cousin and she wants to do some fence mending. Eloise bumps into him there and they're both just an absolute mess, but like defensively angry at the other. Still people don't connect them to the scandal from season 2, and the only one Eloise would tell is Pen, who won't be writing about this.

They cool off after a little bit and send an apology letter, I wanna say Eloise apologizes first because Pen calls her out faster, and also Theo might die like, is that what you really want the last things you've said to him to be. Thus we get the letters over several months.

Boom! Combat! Things actually go pretty okay, and Theo gets a commendation and a shiny medal. He's horribly wounded though, like weren't sure he'd survive wounded. He does, and gets sent to the country for air from the military hospital only no one told Eloise. So she's thinking he's ignoring her or dead, he thinks she's ignoring him because he's now somewhat fucked up (I wanna say in a way that means being a professional printer is no longer viable because of the work, so he has to accept that he's the Heir now). Someone tells Eloise that he's not dead and is in fact at the Sheffields. She storms herself up there all abluster and yells at him for letting her think he was dead and after that last letter was somewhat touching and like maybe he proposed in it. They argue, they make up, they make out.

Eloise was of course unchaperoned, as we'll say the Sheffields died or were in the city lauding how great their heir was in battle. We get three angry Bridgerton Brothers battle ready for their baby sister. They agree to get married and the family slowly come around once they see how in love they actually are. Also because he's like actually maybe willing to ask for help about how to do the estate management and also how he can implement some reforms and it makes his brother's in law think about the estates they manage and do some reform as well. Everyone wins.

Finally watched bridgerton season 2 (i know what happened in s1 and I don't care abt it) and I wanna say that Kate Sharma is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life, the most incredible one, the most wonderful, the most stubborn and awe inspiring and showstoppong and spectacular and and and

Call me Anthony Bridgerton bc I am in love with her

Can't believe they got me giggling but Kanthony are indeed my parents now

Anthony Bridgerton woke up alone ONE TIME after falling asleep with Kate and immediately decided that it is one time too many, and now he makes sure that she cannot move even an inch while he’s asleep so that he always wakes to her

Our Friends Talk

A note to Sydney, signed only ‘Bear’, covered with stains and grease marks and scribbled out, frantic handwriting that is rigid and jaggedly dark against the lined paper.

Remember we have dinner on Saturday, when we get off. It’s at this elitist shithole a guy I knew from Noma owns, but the food’s incredible, supposedly. Google says black tie, so whatever the means for you.

Cousin says people have been talking. Supposedly, allegedly, we’re causing some shit. Problems in the system. I asked around but no one wants to talk about it.

‘Shit’s happening.” Cousin said, and he said it my office like it was a fucking deal. I’m thinking he’s gonna talk about the bills or the busboy or real stuff. Instead he comes to me, whining. “People talking.”

“People talking? What? What are they talking about?”

“You. Your sous. Buddy buddy shit.”

“My sous? Syd? What are you-“

“Look, you want me to spell it out, Cousin? You want that? This is just embarrassing.”

“Spell it, Cousin, because I’m getting nothing.”

“Are you two fucking? Fucking with us? Fucking-fucking?”

And we stared at each other, these two fools in a shitty office. I needed a smoke. He needed a drink. We needed to put our mouths anywhere else. He rubbed his neck. I looked away. The clock ticked, and it never stopped.

“What? What-like I’ve got a problem? Syd and I don’t have a problem.”

“Look, Cousin-“

“Don’t cousin me, not now. Don’t pull this bullshit and roll over now-“

“It happens. I swear it happens, your brother-“

“Don’t-don’t you pull my fucking brother out of his grave for this. You stand up straight in your fucking suit like a man and you serve this-“

“Sydney is a nice girl. Nice woman. You can’t fuck around with her.” He said, and I cocked my head. “Oh, what, because you’re gonna object? You’re a-a walking HR violation. You call her sweetheart on her first day, and then you turn around-“

“Look, I don’t care who you make Bambi eyes at like some horny twelve year old, but she’s young. She’s smart and tough as rocks, but you know she wants you to like her, to be nice to her-“

“So I’m nice to her, and you chew me out? You’re gonna chew me out?”

“I’m saying that you’re meddling with the one thing keeping this place going and if you piss her off, or God forbid, give her enough confidence to quit, she will leave and she won’t come back.”

“She’s staying.” My head was pounding. The room was too small, there was no air. “She wants a star. I can give her a star.”

“Yeah? And what if you can’t?”

“You’re a fucking joke, you know that? I went to Noma. I went to the French Laundry. You’re a talentless worthless fuck, and-and you’re telling me I can’t give it to her? I can’t deliver?”

“I’m saying, kid, that your sous is a little angel and if you go along and snap her neck because you wanted a kiss, a cuddle, then she will leave and we will read about her in the papers while we’re huddled around a trash can fire.”

The conversation concluded by me pushing him into a bookshelf and beating the shit out of him. I asked around. Apparently I favor you. It bleeds into our work. I paid for your whites when we were just starting out. Now, with the money, it just got too easy. I paid for your apartment, the deposit. You were told it was anonymous, and I’m sure you knew.

I did research. Google, the Library. As your boss, I’ve excused fireable offenses. I’ve involved you in business decisions. I’ve had emotional issues in our professional relationships which stressed the boundaries of it. I’ve favored you and paid you about thirty percent more than my other employees.

No one knows.

I see your faith in me, and it makes me feel…something. Vanity, I think. You think I’m this legend, just because of what I did, what I can do. I’m not your friend, I’m not a genius to admire, I’m a jackass who’s doing stupid shit. I’m an alcoholic. I’m a bad influence on you. I’m your boss, that’s all I am.

If you thought there was anything else, I- I can’t be that.

Let people talk. Let our friends gossip and let the critics scribble bullshit. But I’ll get you that star. The front cover of a paper, of a magazine. I’ll get you a thousand reservations. Don’t leave. I called in all my favors, you’d never be able to find another job.

I need to do this with you. It’s just how it has to work. It has to be perfect.

I need you with me. Doing this, making something incredible.

You are the Bear. You make the Bear.
