idk how to start but I am SO confused about that last look of a flabbergasted Francesca when she meets Michaela? WHAT WAS THAT? i haven't read the books so excuse me for that 😭

some thoughts-

+ they are wasting away Benedict. they are wasting his potential and story and what all he could be. he felt so...out of place, confused and useless this season. half of his scenes were of him having sex that was not going ANYWHERE. i love Benny so much but i want shonda to treat this President of Pookie Nation with care and love. I want the story to respect Benedict because his character has so much potential and so much to offer. He hides behind his charming smiles and taunts but his eyes are always sad. As if he is looking for something-this one crucial piece of puzzle and he cannot seem to find it. shonda babes you better sharpen your quill.

+ all the instances that were supposed to be happy for Pen- the marriage, the engagement, the wedding night, ALL OF IT WAS RUINED BECAUSE of that stupid LW secret.

+Kate and Anthony still the best couple i do not make the rules. i don't think even Polin is topping them. tho Kate is certainly topping Anthony tonight.

+ the season was good don't get me wrong but it felt..a bit... rushed and its like the writers are focusing more on the future than savour the present. everything is happening because of the future seasons. idk if that makes sense

+i DID NOT like violet's treatment of kilmartin. i like violet most of the time but she didn't have to act so "unsure", distant and sloppy with kilmartin.

+Francesca gave some slippery vibes as if she is hiding something. or is it just me?

+I don't know why everyone is bashing Eloise so much. I pity her so much. She has kept the sword aside, she stopped fighting but she looks SO LONELY. she is not always the easiest person and she is whiny but i wish i could give her the tightest hug and talk day and night. maybe I see myself in her too much that i am defending her.

+i like they included hyacinth and Gregory this season, they are so precious.

+ i liked cressida's redemption arc but I think Lady Featherington might have won this one. She made peace with Pen in her own tight lipped fashion but i love that for her, i am not going to lie.

+ oh, cressida. i feel too bad for her. i do. but I do not sympathise with her. i actually do not know what to think of her at all.

+mr and Mrs mondrich yassssss slaying as always so cool so suave i love them

+once again, KANTHONY💅🏻🕺🏻✨🥰✨⭐✨💫❤️❤️❤️ ALWAYS AND FOREVER

+ Best acting this entire season- Claudia Jessie. She is just too good.

Honorable mention- Colin and his rage when he finds out the real LW

+ Nicola is so real for baring her boobs we love a relatable queen and SHE MADE SO MANY WOMEN SEEN WHO DO NOT THINK THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST BECAUSE THEY LACK CONVENTIONAL BODY TYPE. THANK YOU, QUEEN FOR MAKING ME FEEL SEEN.

+did I mention KANTHONY?

+LADY DANBURY' storyline was TOO DAMN GOOD. Her pain, the sweet moments between violet and her, how she confronted her brother. She is simply sublime. One of my fav characters. Again, i love my boy Benny but Lady Danbury had a better storyline than whatever the heck his story was trying to achieve.

okay, i ll stop. i am so sorry for making you read all this. i may not be as interesting as Lady WhistleDOWN.

Abt benedict : i'm afraid they are just going to use him off but apparently next season is about him so we'll, but yeah, appart from the sex scenes we had nothing more of him 🥲

Abt LW secret and all : I absolutely hated colin's reaction to pen's power and his stupid jalousy that he has all bc she is more sucsesfull than he will ever be and that she was able to build all of it by herself and her own labour and NO ONE praised her for that exept mme delacroix

Abt kanthony : i loved them sm but why werd they randomly popping on and out. I honestly lost track of them at some point

Abt the season writing : after discussing with a friend, we thought that the season did not have the same pattern as the others, especially part 2 which seemed a bit weird, as if not wrote by the same person

Abt violet : i used to be always like " i could never hate her " but now she just pissed me off. Girl, u can see that your daughter is happy and she found someone she's confortable with so why being such a brat ???

Abt Éloïse : i understand that she felt lonely and all but she is such a bad friend, took cressida for granted, just using her and not even caring for anyone but herself

Abt lady featherington : i had the feeling her "redemption arc " was forced and unatural

And finally, i agree with pretty much everything

Thank you for interacting ❤️

How does every Bridgerton sibling meets their love in the Royals Au? and are some of them from important families too or not?

I haven't thought through all of the siblings yet but I'll give you what I've got thus far;

Saphne: Simon is the Grand Duke of a neighbouring Grand Duchy and is invited to Princess Daphne's debutante ball as she celebrates her 18th birthday. Daphne is immediately taken with him after they share a dance but it wouldn't be for another couple of years until they met again. She makes her affections known to him and while hesitant to cross the line of courting his best friend's younger sister, Simon can't deny how he feels and eventually makes her his Grand Duchess.

Kanthony: I've mentioned it in an earlier post but they actually meet during military training. Anthony's only recently become the new king and grieving the loss of his father whilst Kate is the only woman among the cadets and also suffering after her dad's recent passing. The pair take their grief out on each other and then many years later down the line they cross paths when Anthony is paying a visit to the RAF base Kate is stationed at. They make amends and begin a friendship until Anthony realises the happiness he once possessed before his father's death has now returned with Kate in his life. He doesn't want to ruin their friendship but every time he's around her he feels like he might burst unless he tells her how he really feels. After several weeks of self control Anthony finally confesses how deeply his feelings run for her, though apologises to her for ruining things between them, saying he understands that she would have no interest in being with him and all of the baggage that comes with dating the king. Much to his shock and great relief Kate kisses him and tells him she's glad that the feeling's mutual.

Polin: Penelope is the daughter of the country's disgraced former prime minister, Archibald Featherington. Her mother used to be a soap actress and now appears on panel shows all the time while her sisters are reality show stars. All in all, her family have garnered a certain reputation in the public eye though Penelope's character remains relatively unknown until one day seemingly out of nowhere Prince Colin announces his engagement to her. Princess Eloise had befriended Penelope when they were little girls and the royal family were hosting a dinner for the prime minister and his family, and ever since they had been best friends. Of course Colin became as close to her as Eloise and would write to her during his years away in the navy, though it wouldn't be until he had retired at 33 that he would find his new purpose in the world by becoming Penelope's husband.

Philloise: In this universe Phillip Crane is the younger version of Sir David Attenborough and a national treasure in his earnest and passionate study of the animal kingdom. He is knighted for his services and dedication and in the dinner hosted afterwards in the palace he is acquainted with Princess Eloise, with whom he shares an hours-long conversation with her about his latest documentary set in the Amazon rainforest. What a fascinating man. Eloise had thought to herself. I must fuck him. For the next year if there was any event which Phillip was known to be attending, Eloise would insist on going as well, and then much to her delight he was invited to a charity event held in the palace gardens. She was shocked when she tracked him down to find him with a son and daughter she had previously been unaware of but seeing his gentle nature as a father and listening when he opened up to her about his worries that he wasn't good enough of a parent to the twins only made her want him more. Naturally Sir Phillip was shocked when he realised the princess had been trying to get with him for some time, having previously been oblivious of the prospect of someone like Eloise being even remotely interested in him, though once he knew Eloise carried a torch for him, he fell hard and fast for her.

Grucy: Queen Lucinda had ascended to the throne of her country after the scandalous abdication of her brother King Richard when he ran off with his sister's lady-in-waiting, Hermione. In their country there was a far stricter requirement of who they could marry meaning anyone less of noble birth would simply not do. Though she was the sovereign, her uncle pulled all the strings and had orchestrated an arranged marriage between herself and the crown prince of a neighbouring country, a plan between her uncle and her fiance's father to unify the two countries. At her coronation the Bridgerton royal family attended, including Prince Gregory, and it was love at first sight for the pair. Lucy wanted to break off her engagement in favour of a love match with Gregory but she remained trapped underneath her uncle's ruling thumb. Gregory had begged her to run away with him but she felt duty-bound to her country and went ahead with the wedding. Except, when she was asked by the archbishop if she took Prince Basil as her lawfully wedded husband, Lucy replied "I don't." The biggest wedding of the year turned into the most shocking as Lucy confessed in front of TV cameras and millions watching at home that she couldn't marry without love and that she didn't want to be forced into marriage just because someone had told her to, with a pointed gaze at her infuriated uncle. Her fiance shrugged, agreeing with her then casually admitting he was gay, much to his father's ire. While popularity turned against Lucy's uncle and Basil's father, Lucy and her ex-fiance's popularity sky-rocketed, and her country was overjoyed for their queen at her second wedding only a short while later when she married a man she very clearly loved.

Happy National Nut Day! True nuts include pecan, sweet chestnut, beech, acorns, hazel, hornbeam and alder. Peanuts, almonds, pistachios, cashews, horse chestnuts and pine nuts are not nuts. You need to eat nuts raw for them to have the most impact on your health, but roasted are fine, too.   Each nut bears its own distinctive flavor, as well as a unique history that often dates back to biblical times and beyond.   Walnuts are the oldest known tree food — they date all the way back to 10,000 BC. Almonds have a long storage life and can be refrigerated for up to 2 years. The longer shelf life is due to the fact that they are rich in Vitamin E.   Chestnuts contain vitamin C (around 20%).   Almonds need honeybees to polinate them so they can grow   Peanuts account for 2/3 of all nut consumption Pistachios get their green color from the same pigment that colors spinach and kale   Pumpkin seeds should be eaten raw in order to preserve the healthy fats 🥜🌰 #NationalNutDay #FoodSales #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodService #Food #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBfipipMiA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The first photo is of the Ghetto Uprising memorial made out of the black marble Hitler had bought to be made for a German win over the nations monument. Thanks Hitler.

The second photo is where the bunker where some 150 people are still buried in. After a joint suicide and some being killed by the Nazis, they never went back in to get the bodies of those who had died trying to fight for their lives, and so it is a grave. It’s very somber as you walk around the area, though unfortunately, this was ruined with a group of rowdy teenagers drinking and talking too loud next to it. The third photo is of the man who started the daffodil tradition for the anniversary of the Ghetto Uprising. He is a survivor of the Uprising and everyday until his death, he would lay daffodils at the foot of the Ghetto Uprising memorial to remember his comrades and those who had died fighting for freedom.

The last photos are of the core exhibition at the Polin Museum that I had the amazing chance of seeing after my tour was over. I spent over two hours in there just reading about the history of the Jews, and even found some great material to further my research in the Zohar (as seen in the last photo). This for sure made me a very happy person for the rest of the day.
