tell me this isn't them to a tee

Gotta say, Benedict believing he was in a classic period drama plot where he storms in and his woman is kissing another and he's playing the stark Bridgerton man going 'how could you😔' only for both of them to turn around and go "No we both Want you" is Extremely funny.

Benedict to them in a classic soap opera fashion: I see you have betrayed me-

The Guy: what are you doing, come make out

Benedict:

Pen has love. She was allowed to do something that not many daughters are proud to do, have the life that their mothers couldn't have. And in this way make free both of them.

UGH Thinking about when all the admiring girls calling Colin Brave for the Hot Air Balloon incident and where he finds such bravery and he is going into his suave retelling until he sees Penelope across the room--and everything fades away and his facade slips because the real reason he did it was because he only thought of saving the woman he loves in that moment. But he then tries to go back to his bravado retelling and say that "courage is within us all." but then falters once again when he says that if "we are honest with ourselves and with our feelings, it is possible to do anything." He's once again looking at Pen--because the honest truth is that his feelings for Pen was what made him the hero. And yet at the same time he feels the hypocrisy of that moment because he still can't be honest with himself enough to find the courage to pursue her.

And to add to the layers, Penelope is also listening to his words and interpreting it as a sign that she needs to be honest about her own feelings for Colin, and that they will never be returned. She needs to take action and secure her own future. So she turns in that moment and resolves to go to Debling. UGH I AM NOT WELL.

I think there’s something so intimate about the way Anthony always chases after Kate’s lips whenever they part after kissing

Because this is a man who was so afraid to want anything after his dad died. He was afraid to want love or companionship for fear of the grief it would leave behind. He was afraid of not dying, but even of wanting to live because it meant wanting a life without his father.

But then he met Kate and she made him want. And it’s not just that he wanted her, but meeting her made him want to argue with her, to win against her, made him want to laugh, made him want her dog to like him, to dance with her, made him to humble himself before her.

And the way he kisses her is such an open and unguarded reflection of the way he wants her. The very same man who was afraid of even wanting to live is now openly chasing after his wife’s lips every time they kiss because he’s not afraid to want anymore.

Lucius: Son, since you are together with that Potter boy, your mother has told me to give you “the talk”

Draco: …okay

Lucius: All right, Draco, you see, with a man, as you two get in bed together, when he inserts himself—

Draco: Insert himself? Insert himself where?

Charles: *rambling about their current case*… this creature that terrorize our client looks pretty monstrous. Maybe we should kiss right now, just if we'll die tomorrow, innit? *leans to Edwin with his pretty convincing smile*

Edwin: Charles, we can't die, we already dead, you know

Charles: um…ok

Edwin: *smiles no less convincingly and leans toward him* And you could stop making up these silly excuses to kiss me

Charles: *Charles Rowland.exe has stopped working*

not even a huge bridgerton fan (I watched four episodes of season one and gave up but know a lot because it’s impossible to escape it), but people getting mad that michael was genderbent is so ANNOYING. especially with the garbage excuses of why people are mad about it, which this whole post will be about.

firstly, to say that francesca won’t struggle with infertility is ridiculous. francesca is married, as of right now, to john a man. there’s still a possibility that the writers will make changes so that her and john struggle with it instead. also being in a relationship with someone of the same gender doesn’t mean a person won’t struggle with infertility. infertility is not limited to heterosexual couples; I’ve heard stories of both heterosexual and queer couples struggling to have children

second is the question of how michaela could inherit john’s titles, as michaela is a woman. now I know bridgerton is not historically accurate, but this answer does include some history. for those who don’t know this, in british history, queen charlotte’s granddaughter, victoria, became queen (would take a long time to explain how victoria got the throne, so if you want to know you can read that on your own). queen victoria did NOT become queen because her husband succeeded to the throne as king; victoria earned the title because her father’s older brothers died without having a legitimate heir. so there is a possibility of michaela earning a high title. also going back to something I said already but bridgerton is not historically accurate, which I am sure is obvious by the amount of people of colour in the show with such high titles and being members of the ton.

ANYWAY this is a long winded of saying that people are hating on the show’s decision to genderbend michael, and that I think it’s awesome how francesca and michaela’s love story includes both queer and black representation (and I think both actresses are absolutely stunning).

edit: adding another ridiculous I point I saw someone use was “it feels like they’re diminishing her feelings for john”. you ever hear of bisexuality? also if michael stayed the same you wouldn’t be saying that, how is it suddenly different with francesca being attached to a woman? plus this wouldn’t take away an important part of francesca’s arc in the books (from my understanding of what I’ve heard people say) is that she felt incredibly guilty for having feelings for michael. I personally think it’ll make francesca’s story arc way more interesting due to genderbending her second love interest
