PENELOPE FEATHERINGTON 💛📜🖋✨️

[suspendingtime]

The way Hyacinth will not let Gregory breathe.

Anthony Bridgerton is fucking annoying and just because he can find a clit doesn’t mean anyone should marry him.

gee i wonder who captain autism is going to marry

[melio54]

i try to take dramatic ball room scenes in bridgerton seriously and then the cc will say something like “[classical rendition of “wrecking ball”]”

[viscountessevie]

Also life update things and why I'll be more offline than I was last year: I FINALLY got a full time job yalls and I'm in Events Management now so that's another expertise you can ask me on top of film!

So that's my main priority in life right now but I'll still make time to pop in here and there to answer asks and reblog the odd pretty post here and there (also will have a lot of queued posts today!) That being said my DMs are always open for all my friends and anyone who just wants to talk about anything ❤ I'll just let yall know beforehand if Imma be busy or not!

“His horse recently died”

“You are joking.”

“I am not. Colin.”

“Forgive me. I did not know. Surely someone here isn’t mourning. Shall we gallop along?”

“Colin”

😂😂 this was too cute.

They can NEVER make me hate him NEVER I say NEVER

For anyone who feels like Colin is different in Season 3 than earlier seasons please go watch the end of Season 2 again. Luke Newton plays him exactly the same in the scene where he calls out Jack Featherington and then dances with Penelope. The only real difference is that Colin looks differently in season 3. But that same protectiveness - that same sense of passion and that same adoration of Pen. All there.

Ug it’s so good.

Need a lesbian version of bridgerton so I can have a love confession in the rain while holding flowers I picked for her from my garden

[polin-erospsyche]

So apparently my shift in obsession from this

To this

Is a normal process?? Like apparently I’m not the only one?

Honestly it’s a little funny how Netflix gave me Polin, made me so invested I revamped my whole blog for them, then left me out in the cold after the end of season 2 with withdrawal symptoms only for Amazon Prime to be like “oh you like historical shows that are not historically accurate, with great characters, a strong kick ass female lead and a very tortured by his feelings little bean as a male counterpart? Oh you like great and fun family relationships? Oh you like angst, an enemies to lovers story but also two people who become friends and know each other better than anyone and slowly fall in love? And political intrigues and shenanigans? Oh you’re in withdrawal from a great love story? Do not move! We have just the thing you need!”

My conclusion is I have a new obsession and I’m a sheep cause I fell right into the marketing trap 🙂‍↕️

DAPHNE BRIDGERTON 🩵✨️🤍

[suspendingtime]

Anthony yelling out lilies during charades. 💀

[dusty-daydreams]

“It is a lonely life, living in secret, and I wondered if you would like to join me.”

Why did this have to be Cressida asking Eloise to help her fake a Whistledown rather than a queer regency love confession?

If you liked Bridgerton, here are other historical romances with the same tropes:

Virgin-Meets-Rake (Season 1, Simon and Daphne):

When the Duke was Wicked by Lorraine Heath: She's a witty debutante who's the jewel of the season, he's a seasoned rake mourning the death of his wife and child with excessive hedonism, and she recruits him to teach her how to attract a husband

The Lady Gets Lucky by Joanna Shupe: She's a shy heiress and master chef who struggles to talk to men, he's an irreverent scoundrel and would-be restaurant owner she recruits to teach her lessons to catch a husband

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas: The villain in It Happened One Autumn enters a marriage-of-convenience with an heiress with a stutter (whose best friend he kidnapped, whoops) and at one point he goes, "I’m Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent. I can’t be celibate. Everyone knows that," and isn't being ironic.

Nine Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean: She's on-the-shelf and deeply bored, he's a rake who's suddenly been given custody of his irreverent and wild teenage half-sister, she recruits him to help her be rebellious

Bound by Your Touch by Meredith Duran: He's a (seemingly) silly dandy, she's impossible to charm, and he shatters her facade

Enemies-To-Lovers** (Season 2, Anthony and Kate):

Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart by Sarah MacLean: She loves causing trouble, he totally hates getting her out of it, she's wild, he's starchy, and they fall madly in love

The Notorious Lord Knightly by Lorraine Heath: She's the viperous writer who's publishing explosive smut starring him, her former fiancé that jilted her at the alter, and they find each other again

The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe: She's a free-spirited heiress whose reputation was ruined ages ago, he's a broke Duke looking for a wife to fill his coffers and fix his estate, they see each other for who they truly are

It Happened One Autumn (and its precursor Then Came You) by Lisa Kleypas: two iterations of the classic, "free spirited woman meets buttoned-up man who loathes her and is kind of a freak in the sheets" trope in the best way possible. Also, Alex buys Lily a bear in Then Came You, which obviously made me cry

All the Ways to Ruin a Rogue by Sophie Jordan: His best friend is her brother, and they really want to fuck but hate it

Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt: She's engaged to his brother, they meet when she walks in on him fucking another woman, HATES her for being perfect, she hates him for being a degenerate loser, and infidelity ensues.

** These are true enemies-to-lovers books, not that hella lame rivals-to-lovers shit that's all over contemporary romances of late

Friends-To-Lovers (Season 3, Colin and Penelope):

The Lady Hellion by Joanna Shupe: Sophia is trying to solve a mystery (and dresses up as a man in the process), and recruits her friend (and one-time kissing buddy) Lord Quint to teach her how to shoot. She's exasperating, he's charmed and there's a puppy involved.

The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan: She's a genius botanist but can't share her research since she's a woman, and he's her public face but refuses to continue anymore. He's always been in love with her, she's as oblivious as they come.

My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh: She's a scientist, he's an anthropologist, they're longtime friends and she recruits him to help her make a visiting naturalist jealous but ends up falling for him herself

Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas: They're in a marriage of convenience, but end up becoming real friends in the process before they realize they're in love

The Duchess Hunt by Lorraine Heath: He's a Duke looking to get married, she's his secretary and most trusted friend, he recruits her to find him a wife and they fall madly in love in the process

Forever Your Rogue by Erin Langston: He's her brother's friend who is recruited to help her manage her estate when her husband dies. She flits around constantly in anxiety and never sits still, and he likes it.

This should get you started!
