Philippa saving Penelope in that awkward silence after the Queen left by releasing the "bugs" passed the vibe check. 🦋

Spoilers for episode 5

Her face? Oh baby girl is never letting go

if there was one thing I didn't expect for season 3 was for cressida cowper to emerge as one of my favourite characters but she has become so so dear to me. I can understand her and relate to her so much, and every time I think about how she's like my age, maybe a bit younger, I feel so much sympathy. like yeah if my only way out of a situation that would take away the few things that bring me any semblance of happiness involved me hurting the person who deeply hurt the only real friend I've ever had, I'd do it without question. maybe doubling the amount was a bit petty but if that person's husband then waltzed in with no idea what I've been through and essentially told me that my problems are nonexistent? I'd be feeling petty too. I'm not saying cressida did nothing wrong but god dammit what she did do wrong was understandable.

The alliance between Ladies Bridgerton and Featherington is all I could hope for.

I've enjoyed Lady Featherington through the seasons because she's aggressive, yes, and in that she's true to herself. She is just as much a romantic as Lady Bridgerton, but she never had the experience of love to support it. And she's always cared for her girls.

I love how down bad Lady Bridgerton is for Lord Anderson. It's so cute. The Bridgerton horny gene, indeed. 😂

I want to be Lady Danbury when I grow up. The confidence and swag!

Erm, is Benny gaining Sophie and a husband next season??? They should consider it. 🤭

Penelope has her own Varley in Rae!

Finch is a Good Man. He's just wonderful.

Aw, that was quite sweet. A good season and we have PenEloise back! I will say, I'm ready to see what they do with Benny's season.

I just have to say (spoiler warning for Bridgerton S3 part 1)... how Eloise spilled the beans about Colin training Penelope for a hubby is not sitting w me well... I mean, good on her for going to apologize and insisting, even when Penelope told her she didn't have to/would've accepted a betrayal like that. Penelope has been heavily understanding given that she knows she hurt Eloise (even if it was just to protect her from Queen Charlotte and Eloise herself). but what is getting to me most is how Eloise can hold onto the Whistledown secret but IMMEDIATELY folds and tells the girls Colin is training Penelope? and she's so nonchalant about it in the moment. maybe she didn't think it would be super serious, but for as much as she raves about how fickle and quick-to-turn the ton is, and for even having experienced that herself, it was instant for her to do that to Penelope. and not only RUN from those immediate consequences by trying to blame Cressida for spreading the rumor when she refused to and walked away from the group, Eloise denied any responsibility for the situation. while Cressida can be her own massive red flag, she was right to put Eloise back into her own lane. not only did Eloise tell AN ENTIRE GROUP OF GIRLS about Colin and Penelope and THEY said things, she was fully in denial that everyone only knew because SHE said something when Colin even outlined to keep it a secret. and for holding Penelope accountable as she is over being Whistledown/what Penelope has done as Whistledown, to do the same thing and still think Penelope is too evil to be with your brother or be around you... man idk. Eloise says she's changed and healed, and so far, only one of these things is true.

Anthony was rather famously besotted with his wife, who was in turn rather inexplicably besotted with him.

Kate + Anthony (Bridgerton S3 pt2)

i actually kind of like how bridgerton s3 has gotten almost meta about the ‘bridgerton glow-up’ — both colin and penelope intentionally change the way they look, rather than any kind of unspoken shift, but it doesn’t actually change how they feel. penelope struggles just as she did before with talking to people and being charming, new look or not; colin puts on this act of a ‘rake’ and yet several people comment that it’s an act (lady whistledown, his mother, colin himself in his confession speech to penelope). so despite that ‘glow up’, the characters are emphasized to still be the same people they have always been—and that isolates them from the ton. i’m hoping pt2 becomes about being true to yourself, and the romance between colin & pen is about the two of them falling in love with a more honest version of the other person. either way, i think it’s a neat way of handling the ‘glow up.’

I just realized two Bridgerton siblings are about to be engaged/married in S3 pt2. Mamma Bridgerton is probably over the moon rn.

An incomprehensive list of Bridgerton S3’s biggest failures

I’ve had the time to reflect since premier and watch a second time, so these are my thoughts. I’m begging Shonda to change my mind w pt2 but as of rn I hold little hope this won’t be the worst season by an embarrassing margin

1. Failure to flesh out Polin’s preexisting relationship (that leads to a huge bungling of Colin and Eloise’s relationship!!!)

The biggest response I’ve seen to a critique I share is that polin had such a strong preexisting dynamic that is makes sense they were featured less heavily than other couples. Now I see conceptually where that idea comes from, Pen liking Colin and him being oblivious have been cornerstones of the last two seasons, however, all their new scenes were presented to us sterile and without either sexual chemistry or a callback to a prior scene they had shared (or something perhaps we hadn’t seen, such as the time a decade prior Cressida mentions, when “the Featherington’s moved in across the street” instead we see confusing scenes that make little sense ESPECIALLY when we have no prior on screen (nor flashback) foundation for Pen and Colin’s friendship WITHOUT Eloise. Without her to act as middle woman this season, and with no flashbacks or reminiscing, the dynamic of true friendship between Pen and Colin feels forced. (And side note— as a sister, if my brother picked a friend of mine over me after we’ve had a relationship-ending fight that I refuse to even talk about??? That’s crazy— this is why I say it ruined both Colin and Pen AND Colin and Eloise’s dynamics— because I’d hope my brother would never do that to me, and without any more context besides mere letters as to why Colin would still entertain Pen now that Eloise has been betrayed by her? Near nonsensical)

2. Sudden appearance of a plus sized debutante(s) and no comments on Pen’s looks/weight

For the past two seasons there have been no size diversity besides Pen in Bridgerton, and don’t get me wrong, I think all the debutantes are beautiful this season, and I am thrilled that there is more expansion and diversity in the cast and the ton!!! But after making it such a big deal for the past several seasons, to try and make the ton size-blind reads as a cop out to me. Colin needs to face that facts head on that he has counted Pen out because of her size, just as everyone else has.

I could continue for actual pages because I have issues from Benedict‘s confounded character to Eloise’s sudden betrayal of her values (and friends/sisters??) to Cressida’s random??? redemption. But these are the two I am most frustrated by !

my theories for Bridgerton S3 pt2

might be a bit spoiler-y, so don't read if you want to be 100% in the dark (which is fair, i wish i had that kind of self-control)

my guess on what's gonna happen based on the teaser for pt2 and some photos that were released and then deleted from different ig accounts (about which i know thanks to Sammy Bates's videos):

afer Colin announces the engagment, Eloise and Pen have the arguement where El asks "does he know?" - Pen tells her she's gonna stop, that she will write her last column where she will say goodbey, she'll maybe even use a line from the books - "i cannot make heads or tails from a world where Penelope Featherington will marry a Bridgerton" (i'm paraphrasing). Eloise isn't happy but is willing to accept this for the time being

Queen is gonna be displeased with this - one of her few entertainments is going away? no way! we're gonna hunt her down using the ton and 5 grand!

Cressida gets on the train, El refuses to help her (saw this here, sorry, don't remember the user, but their friend from Ireland is a reporter and saw the whole season an told her what happened, apparently; plus one of the photos in Sammy Bates video is of what Cressida has written as LW), and this fake Whistledown is what gets delivered when Colin is looking scared or whatever around the 0:32 mark in the teaser for pt2 (see attached picture). Also, i think this whole scene is happening during their engagement ball or something similar, but also might be on their wedding, but i hope it's before the wedding

Pen gets angry, because no way is she letting Cressida of all people take her work, and decides to publish one more time. Colin finds out (one photo from Sammy's video is of Colin seein Pen in the printer shop with her blue cloak on), que Carriage Scene 2.0 (i heard there might be another one, but i don't recall whether it was just a someone saying "if only" or if it was someone who said they knew it was gonna happen). They fight, they take time apart, they'll make up. Sometimes during this Colin starts to figue oout "shit, i wanna be a writer", and Pen releases her pamphlet about Cressida not being LW

Cressida figures out Pen is LW and starts to blackmail her. Pen freaks out, Colin tells her to chill, he's got it covered (he loves to save Pen, this is basically another of his wet dreams coming true), he plans to tell everyone so Cressida won't be able to hold it above their heads, he tells Anthony and the rest of the family (at this point i'm just following the book's plot)

Pen has no idea wha Colin has planned, is very stressed, faints, everything ends up well. Her faintin was because she's pregnant (another user pointed out that in regency era stories fainting often meant that that chracter is pregnant and she doen't know yet), she's the one to give birth to a boy (her sisters have daughters), and she's the new Lord Featherington's mama

Bridgertons' reaction to who LW is

i also read somewhere that different people will find out who LW is and there's gonna be an array of reactions to the news. So, here are my guesses at he reactions:

Anthony - shock, just shock. He'll be looking at Colin for 5 minutes and just asking what??! with question marks instead of pupils

Benedict - he's gona laugh his ass of

Colin - anger, betrayal, jelaousy, acceptance, pride

Daphne - no Daphn this season, so no reaction. shame

Francesca - calm surprise

Gregory - he won't care that much, he's not that interested in gossip

Hyacinth - she's gona be over the moon. Her new sister is Lady Fucking Whistledown?! Fuck yeah!!! (she won○t be too happy about having to imitate glue, though. IYKYK)

Violet - she'll try not to lose her cool, and will be mostly perplexed. It's a depth of Penelope she never expected to exist, but at the end of the day, Colin loves her and that's all that matters to Mama Bridgerton

Kate - Kate's gonna be probably happy there's another person with more than half a braincell in this family, and won't be angry (there wasn't that many bad things Pen wrote about the Sharmas)

Also, I very much hope for bi!benedict to happen this season. if it doesn't i'll survive it, but it would just make sense if it did

If you read all the way here, congratulatons. Sorry for the typos and me giving up on upper case somewhere in the middle of this. Have a nice day. Get yourself a coockie, you diserve it.

All of those things are just my theories and nothing more. I don't know anything about the production of this or any other TV show. I am just an obssessed 25yo

[shishuri]

Colin really didn't even say something like "family i have an announcement to make".. no that line is for losers.. "we're engaged" is for the unhinged.

spoilers btw

watched bridgerton s3 pt2 and loved it btw. again, not to be all what's next but I have thoughts on whose season is coming up

I'm fairly sure it's Benedict's. this season set him up to be in the mindset to not want to commit to Sophie with everything that happened between him and Lady Arnold. this was also a season where he didn't explore anything to do with his art, and he clearly feels rather purposeless without it as he mentioned in ep1. a big part of the book was Sophie discovering Benedict is an artist and encouraging him to pursue such.

and then there's also the biggest hint: Eloise mentioning the masquerade ball at the end of the last ep.

I truly loved this season: they just keep getting better and better. But I'm also very excited because Benedict is my favorite story!!

edit: I also feel like the fans will riot if it's not him tbh

[andthebubbles]

Had a half formed thought: imo bridgerton s3 pt2 is better than pt1 but I'm struggling to get through it and I think it's because I just don't care anymore--but the real question is, why?

Like, what got me through pt1 was creloise, and in pt2 Cressida's scenes are all riveting for me... Hm. Cressida esp because the stakes are high.

[imgondeletedis]
