Alright so bridgerton decided to tell a story where they gave their one dimensional 90s-esque blonde mean girl bully a story where we actually see a new side of her and see her learn to be a better person through her friendship with another woman, after previously seeing her treat other women as the enemy and competition we see her putting another woman, her new friend, before herself.

We also don’t just see this character start to grow and change but we learn of her tragic home life who in the second half of the season intends to marry her off to a 70 year old man who intends to rape her until she has at least five forced births. Then she tried to tell her so called women’s rights activist best friend who doesn’t listen because she only cares about her own problems, her mother also won’t help, society doesn’t care so she makes a desperate attempt by declaring herself as whistledown to gain money in her own right to take care of herself and get herself out of the marriage. The silver lining is she actually did manage to get herself out of the marriage so it was a smart move in saving herself but her so called progressive friend makes out that this is means Cressida was always just a bad person and the so called friend never looks at it from the perspective of a woman’s desperation to be free, despite women having freedom has been a major plot point this season and Eloise wants women to be different from societal expectations but no, not like that, not in away that I don’t find morally acceptable. Eloise coud have helped Cressida, the only person to show Eloise kindness and friendship when she needed someone, escape her horrible circumstances regardless of whether she “deserves” help.

But i guess the writers decided despite the development Cressida is a mean girl at heart and did something unforgiveable (but the real whistledown is forgiven quickly) so then they for some reason do a complete 180 and have her resort back to gossiping mean girl who bullies and spreads untrue rumours so that they can justify sending her away to live miserably to make Penelope’s happy ending more cliche by getting rid of her bully instead of making her a nuanced interesting character.

Would you like them? Oh. Thank you! But I'm afraid they won't last. See, they're fading already. Cornflowers are like that.

I'm crawling out of the sewer to say it again: don't let anyone stop you from writing what you want to write.

Don't let people saying your writing is too 'self indulgent' stop you.

Don't let people saying your writing is 'not original enough' stop you.

Don't let people saying 'you shouldn't write this' stop you.

Write what compels you.

"How dare Aemond demand Helaena fight in the War?!"

She has the Second-Largest Dragon. The Big Bad Bronze Fury is smaller than her. They don't have enough dragons, their army can't fight them all off.

"But Helaena's not a fighter!"

Who is? While I'll admit there is danger in dragon-fighting, both Rhaenys are examples, but how do you train for that? And in Times of Peace? And against bastards who have to learn a whole new language, the only thing the rider can actually do/has the power to do in the air, even though at least 1 is definitely illiterate, and neither are Knights either.

"But she doesn't Want to!"

It's War! Her son was just Murdered! Even if she wasn't furious, it's WAR!

I really wonder what sort of crazy shit TBs are snorting up sometimes, especially when they say things like. "A eye for a eye a son for a son." As they seem to forget one VERY important thing, Luc never lost his eye! Luc never got punished for it in any sense let alone got his eye taken out!

They also say "Aemond needed to have better control of Vhagar! Him losing control of her shows how he isn't a TRUE Targaryen!" But they also seem to forget Vhagar was chill, calm, followed Aemonds commands perfectly, she only went crazy when Arrax, Lucs Dragon, didn't listen to Luc and shot fire at Vhagar, a fucking WAR DRAGON, pissing her off and killing Arrax and by extension Luc. So who really lost control of their Dragon?
