an offer from a gentleman | chapter eleven

He said, his voice thick and urgent.

[austen-bridgerton-escapist]

Okay, I want to know if there is anyone out there who enjoyed these Bridgerton books as much as I did:

An Offer From a Gentleman

To Sir Philip with Love

All I want is to gush with someone about how TSPWL is if you combined the Sound of Music with Beauty and the Beast and how AOFAG is an awesome retelling of Cinderella with a protagonist that truly captures the kindness and resilience of her fairytale counterpart.

Bonus:

I would love to gush with someone about what Disney songs remind me of Bridgerton pairings. So far, I have:

Tale as Old as Time for Philoise

I See the Light for Polin

So This is Love/More than a Dream for Benophie

Any other suggestions for Saphne, Hyacinth/Gareth, Greg/Lucy, Kathony and Franchael is gladly welcomed.

Benedict next season: Mother, what you and Father, and Anthony, and Daphne... and Colin... and Francesca... all have is rare.

deeply obsessed with the bridgerton siblings finding the loneliest, most underappreciated people and then forcibly adopting them into their family by way of scandalous marriages

It feels right now that the next thing I might learn may change me entirely.

Asian Sophie fancast! ✨

I literally drafted this post a week ago and with the news of the potential Sophie casting call I feel like it was a sign to share my thoughts 😊

—————————

This is all for fun and as Sophie’s arrival seems to be getting closer and more inevitable, so here are some of my Sophie fancasts! As a SEA woman I would love to see representation in the Bton universe and have always pictured Sophie as Asian. [EDIT] With the assumed confirmation that Sophie will be East Asian I’ve included actresses that I love and have been fancast of mine for some time; these actresses are all East Asian (chosen before the casting call) but I also want to call to attention the lack of non-East Asian representation we see at this time. Fancast are at the end!

This is a good time to bring up what Asian representation even looks like since the continent is so big! I will be referencing this Variety article.

So we’ve seen that Asian representation has had a “significant increase of Asian characters from 3% to 16% over the course of 2007 to 2022” and while that seems like a step in the right direction it’s clear that the entirety of Asia is still not represented in media.

The release of 2018’s Crazy Rich Asians saw the increase of Asian stories and characters; but only “90% of the most visible of Asian characters on streaming platforms were a light or medium complexion”. Right now Asian representation is mainly centered around East Asians, and while any representation is good it’s important to be knowledgeable that not all Asian people are descended from that area.

There is a large disparity on how we view the term “Asian”. There are so many ethnicities that are beautiful and deserve representation. A larger representation needs to be seen within the Asian diaspora and also mindfulness to avoid common tropes and stereotypes is extremely important.

Any ways, here are some of my favorite fancasts I have right now! Conveniently all of these actresses are mixed race and with the obvious fact that Lady Cowper’s name is Araminta, it’s assumed Sophie is somehow related to them (which is a choice I do not agree with if now that Sophie is casted as a POC).

Natasha Liu Bordizzo (29)

Known for: Ashoka, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny, The Voyeurs

Ethnicity: Born in Australia, Chinese/Italian

Netflix connection: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny, Wish Dragon, The Society

Obviously Natasha is busy with her Star Wars projects but she’s been a longtime Sophie face claim for me!

Havana Rose Liu (26)

Known for: Bottoms

Ethnicity: Born in the USA, Chinese/White

Netflix connection: The Chair

The whole time I was watching BOTTOMS I was just so mesmerized by her beauty! She has this ethereal gracefulness that really makes me think of Sophie!

Adeline Rudolph (29)

Known for: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Resident Evil

Ethnicity: Born in Hong Kong, Korean/German

Netflix connection: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Resident Evil

Adeline always caught my attention in CAOS and I wanted to see more of her! She also has quite a bit of projects lined up rn but I’ve lived using her in some edits!

foreshadowing to miss sophia maria beckett <3

[susiephone]

maybe they're giving benedict a new fling every season so when we finally get his season, sophie has to defeat his Seven (Not-So-)Evil Exes

[klaramarieleblochova]

I don't know if y'all noticed, but Colin Bridgerton is a match-making mamma!

In season 2 he pushed Anthony and Kate together, when he knocked Kate's ball next to Anthony's. And he did it with a SMIRK.

In Benedict's story he told Benedict to get his shit together and marry Sophie right away, no matter her status.

In Francesca's story he told Michael basically the same thing.

In Gregory's story he literally sat in a tree by Greg's side, spying on his brother's match.

The mammas should give him an honorary doctorate at this point.

Too bad bitch is so blind to his own match, lol.
