How would Benedict Bridgerton court you... HCS
Masterlist
You both first crossed glances at a ball, you were not a debutant, just passing around, just like his sister Eloise, you weren't much interested on claiming attention, but you catched his.
His first thought when he saw you in the back of the salon, tapping your feet to the rythm of the song while looking at a big painting was that he needed to paint you.
He spent the rest of the night, admiring you from the distance, until you both almost bumped into each other.
Inmediatly he took the chance and asked you to dance.
It was the funniest night you both had, cause after the dance, you talked about art, and drinked, and danced again, all night until your mother decided it was time to leave.
After that night, you didn't heard from him in a couple of weeks, you almost thought he forgot about you.
The thing was that he was collecting information about you, everything he could find that he knew you would like.
Then a bouquet of your favourite flowers came to your door, signed by the name of "Your artist", you knew it was him, but he surely wants to be romantic so you let him be.
A couple of days later, your favourite crystals, and then gems, and fabrics, and art supplies.
With this routine of secretism, a couple of months passed by with his gifts demostrating that he knows you.
You saw each other a couple more times during balls and dances, until you decided to approach him again.
"Why do you sent me notes but not talk to me?"
"I want you to see that i can know you better than anyone, plus i want you to be as crazy in love for me as i am for you."
A smile escaped both of your lips, suddently you had an idea.
You dropped your fan carefully and he inmediatly get down to pick it up.
"So... that's how you like to play then." he told you with a smirk.
"You said you wanted me to get crazy about you, who says i can't play that game too?"
"Then we both must play."
The once innocent game of knowing each other turned into a rollercoaster of temptation.
Small touches while dancing, innapropiate comments while talking in public, purposely moving to the corner of the room to have more privacy with your not so discreet behaviour.
(I firmly believe that Benedict is a switch with a very brat behaviour, so picture that)
Until your mother decided that you were going to marry a noble.
Thats when the game stopped and started to get serious.
Benedict distanced himself from you and you got so sad from the lonelyness that awaited your future that you wouldn't leave your room.
Your mother didn't let you alone in any social act, that means that you can't talk to him... ike that could make a change.
One week until the wedding and everything feels bad when suddently you received a bouquet of your favourite flowers with a note.
"I will not cut you like this flowers, but i will keep you to myself no matter how, with love Your Artist.
You almost broke in tears right there, your mother entered the room with your future husband to finish some business.
They didn't even care to ask you what happened, the just talked about your future like nothing.
One of the servants announced Benedict and everyone on the room turned around.
"I am here to propose."
"Too late, she is my fiancee." you couldn't believe what was happening.
"I double the endowment, my mother and brother approved it."
You know your mother will marry you to the best match she could find, which means the one who could provide more money.
After verifying everything was right, your mother inmediatly sent out your now ex-fiancee and welcomed with open arms your new husband.
"How?" you asked him, still processing.
"I intended to send you that flowers yesterday, i don't know why they got today." he sounded more concerned about his time planning that your tear, "Oh, you mean all the other things, sorry for ignoring you, once you got engaged my family forced me to separate myself to not staint your virtue... so i was convincing them to let me marry you."
"I..." you kissed him on the lips with passion, with all the emotions you've been keeping inside.
"I think we should wait to the weeding night, in a week." your eyes opened surprised while he justs smirks, "I didn't want any longer to kall you mine, so i managed to get a wedding licency too."
"I love you."
"I know, and i love you too."

Mysteries left unanswered by the end of Characters FTEs
List of what is left unanswered that may get answered in the next chapter/things to think about
(note, while I may have bias, I'll try to detail as much for every character)
I'll go in ascending order
Living Life
Eva Tsunaka
I wouldn't say there are any real mysteries left behind by Eva's FTEs. And most of her mysteries are explained in the Trial anyways. Any loose ends are mostly tied up. I think her biggest mystery would be just what Tozu entailed by saying she would die but yet, that's more to do with Tozu and not related to FTEs (aka her past).
TLDR: No real mystery
Kai Monteago
His FTEs discuss how he became the Ult Influencer. During this rumour came about that twisted his image. He also only truly trust his fans who he sees as his friends. There's no big question left by the end only Damon stating how he couldn't relate to Kai but understood is all means a lot to Kai. Perhaps Damon will ask about the type of rumours? Or more about how Kai sees his fans/friends?
TLDR: No big mystery, just concerning
Curious
Ingrid Grimwall
Her FTEs go from workout to family to explaining her family business. You go through an arc with a sweet resolution. But Damon find her usage of "Food on her family's plate" interesting. He'll probably ask about that in their next FTE. Her biggest mysteries is be her finacial situation and her cleaning products.
TLDR: Her financial situation.
Cassidy Amber
She isn't fond of being known as the Ult Pro Gamer since she feels she doesn't get treated as a person. Biggest mysteries probably is her bond with her esport team and why she left them (and more on her relationship with her talent). And since Damon is curious about it it'll probably get addressed in her next FTEs.
TLDR: Why she left her esport team.
Desmond Hall
Bro needs a chill pill he has no free time to himself. Extreme version of Damon's dedication. Has a clear love of his talent and the sport and yet no longer attend competitions that catches Damon's curiousity. So that will be address next FTEs. Also a bit like Cassidy's.
TLDR: Why he no longer attends competitions.
Mark Berskii
Has an public persona known as "Mayhem" that is widely successful. Despite this he is very apathetic about his success and doesn't seem to even like his music. Damon is curious why he isn't more elated about his success, so next FTE will most likely address that.
TLDR: His apathetic nature towards his success
Suspicious
Wenona
Company, business, clan and her rise. Very interesting. But she chooses to stay away from the public eye as it invites "drama". Damon is curious what exactly makes her fear going public and if there is other things in the past that she covered up that could threaten her company. Damon will probably interograte this in the next FTEs.
TLDR: What other drama has her company need to cover up that includes her
Diana Venicia
She doesn't talk much about herself since it feels like bragging cause she has had a good life. Her FTEs are mostly about Damon first until he starts interograting her. The lack of knowledge gained about her from her FTEs is why is put it in Sus, we don't even learn how she got her talent. Future FTEs will be interesting after the arc she has gone through.
TLDR: How did she get her talent and everything else.
Eloise Taulner
She raised the ranks quickly because people feared her. Also she threaten Damon which is a +. But she clearly does not want to be hanging out with Damon at all. She gets upset when Damon asks if her mother has a partner. Why exactly was she so skilled to the point that people forfeit andwhat's her relationship with her family. I usually would say it's interesting she's so touchy on the subject of her mother but i think that's more to do with Damon constantly bugging her than necessarily a reflection on how she feels about.
TLDR: Her skills and her family
Jean Delamer
Dramatic retelling or his near-death experience, demonstration of trust that Damon fails and how he gained his family. He has skills that Damon compares to a ninja that go unexplained, and his final FTE he talks about treating his family that Damon finds suspicious as to how he could gain the wealth. Also he is kind of scary mannn.
TLDR: His skills and his financial situation.
EXPLAIN
Ulysses Wilhelm
Big book nerd, can remember tours well, has a mentor (not much said about her), and unique idea on the killing game being a experiment or commentary. He also implies he has something he wants to talk to Damon about but doesn't feel ready/prepared yet. It could possibly be Damon's blackmail, with how determined to shifty he goes about but that's spectulation. Very sus.
TLDR: What he wants to talk to Damon about
Toshiko Kayura
Discuss Children bedtime stories and then she wanted to debate Damon, but when he wanted to make the topic 'Should Toshiko Lower Her Fan' she left in a hury. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?????? (The funniest explaination I've seen is that she's hiding braces.)
TLDR: LOWER THE FAN TOSHIKO
Jett Dawson
He wears his suit 24/7. Probably because of the accident his intro card alludes to. I'm so so so curious about how bad the accident was cause the intro card said it left him with scars and burn. Also the fact that it seems he doesn't shower might be because it hurts but that's speculation again. ALSO we do not know much about his origins or anything. There is so little on him I WANT MORE.
TLDR: Are you alright sir
Wolfgang Akire
Wants to issue an era where a laywer's conscioence is rewarded not punished, nice ending to his final FTE but LET'S GO BACK A BIT. He says he cannot be the man he is in the courtroom as he is with his classmate, especially during a killing game. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. He's also so high up on the list cause of the mysteries with his mother and father.
TLDR: ???????????????
WHERE ARE YOU
Grace Madison
WHERE IS YOUR FTEs?? WHERE ARE THEY HUH?? WHAT IF I WANNA TALK???
TLDR: ANYTHING
Conclusion?
There's plenty of them that have clear topic of discussion prepared for Chapter 2, in which we may get another 4 FTEs MAX. The order here is one part least to most interesting and another part vibes. I would love to see an expansion on characters that only got 2-3 FTEs and GRACE. Also ignore how much I used probably.
This post was to gather some thoughts on them. Also fun fact the order changed while writing this post. This was the original image.
So yeah
Also while you're stil here did you know Kai Monteago is an anagram of Makoto Naegi?
k a i M o n t e a g o M a k o t o n a e g i
Cool huh

blessed to be
Violet Bridgerton x maid!reader
summary: as her maid, you can't help but grow close to the Bridgerton matriarch || word count: 1293 || masterlist
REQUESTED: can you please make a Violet Bridgerton x maid fanfic?? I'm literally so hungry for some Violet fanfics.
Violet Bridgerton needed a new lady’s maid. Her previous maid was getting married and would be released from the household to start her own with her new husband. Therefore, Violet was in need of a new lady’s maid to aid her, leaving the troublesome task to her loyal housekeeper.
A week later, Mrs Wilson approached the drawing room with a woman following behind her. "This is your new lady’s maid Ma’am." She announced.
The woman behind her lowered her head and offered a small smile. Violet returned her smile, introducing herself and learning your name. "I'm sure you'll do splendidly in this household. Mrs Wilson will tend to your needs and show you your duties."
"Yes Ma'am." You hesitated as you turned to leave. "Thank you."
As you settled into your duty, you couldn't help but be grateful for your fortunate position. Yes, you were a maid but you were a maid to one of the wealthiest families in the ton, a family that had (at least) a basic respect for their staff and took care of them. Most importantly, Violet cared. The matriarch would ask your opinion on fabrics and hairstyles and jewellery before deciding.
"What about the emeralds with this dress for Eloise?" Violet softly asked, holding a blush coloured dress.
You scrunched your eyebrows in concentration, weighing up the combination. "Perhaps something less colourful for Eloise? Something like crystal or quartz, perhaps white sapphires. She doesn't wish to stand out by wearing something like emeralds." You suggest, hurriedly adding the honorific at the end, "Ma'am."
Violet thinks for a second before nodding handing the dress back to you to hang up, reaching for a diamond necklace to compare. "I quite agree. Eloise will appreciate your concern." She paused for a moment, "I appreciate your concern."
"Just helping however I can Ma'am."
It was a quiet day where Violet was sitting in the drawing room with her embroidery, and had requested you to join her. You never had time to learn the special embroidery stitches, learning the basics to sew patches into clothing and fix tears. Instead, you carried a few napkins that had sprouted holes, working on them as Violet embroidered.
"Why did you never marry?" Violet began the conversation. The two of you had discussed the topic before, but not the why.
You stuttered out a response. "Having a husband never appealed to me Ma'am. I'm very fortunate that I don't have to marry. I got to focus on my studies, teaching all the local children how to read and write and calculate simple sums. It's not a brilliant education but it's something that quite a few children never get to learn."
Violet smiled. "Perhaps you could finally persuade Hyacinth that her education is important then."
"Nothing will change Miss Hyacinth's mind once she has set it. I'm sure the Governess you employ will do a brilliant job with her education." You laughed slightly. "Besides, I couldn't leave you to-" You cut yourself off, suddenly embarrassed at what you're saying.
Violet isn't bothered. Without looking up from her stitching, she silently reached over a hand to hold yours. Both of you ceased your work, enjoying the silence and comfort of each other's company.
"You're very dear to me Y/N." Violet said quietly, also seeming embarrassed at her own words. "You mean a great deal to the family as well." She was stumbling for the right words to say, dancing around the main subject.
"I feel very fondly of you to Violet." The woman lightly gasped as you said her name gently. You spoke her name, not her title, not ma'am, not mistress. You had called her Violet. Her reaction had you second guessing everything you had ever done as you bundled your napkins into your arms and stood, pulling your hand from hers. "My apologies Ma'am. I shall be in the servant quarters." Your eyes were trained to the ground, inspecting the dust on your shoes. "If you need me for anything, I am simply a call away."
You had just broken one of the biggest class rules of society. Never ever address a person of higher standing by their name. You show respect, you use their title or honorifics, never their name alone and certainly not their first name. By doing so, you were equivocating yourself with her family or her lover.
And you were not either of those things. You couldn't possibly be.
You kept your distance from Violet thereafter, performed your duties perfectly. You never spoke out of turn, offered your opinion only when it was asked for and didn't add any more detail than your mistress required. Violet had an tinge of pity in her eyes whenever she looked at you now and it made your blood boil. You did not need her pity, why was she offering you pity?
In her own mind, Violet was scheming. You thought you were in trouble, that you had overstepped. But Violet wished you would overstep more. She did not mind that you used her name, it stirred a feeling inside of her she had never experienced before, certainly not with another woman. She wanted that feeling to return.
The glowing, pulsing warmth that came when you used her name, when she held your hand. The shivers that tumbled down her spine and sizzled into darkness and dread when you had pulled away. She didn't know what was happening to her, she had never considered anything like this before.
Violet Bridgerton was a mother, she cared for her children above her own needs and desires, right? She had done so for over a decade. But what was stopping her from pursuing her own desires? Anthony was married, there was new Viscountess to herd the Bridgerton debutantes through the marriage mart. Violet could relax, she could breath.
Most importantly, she could chase that consuming feeling she felt when she was with you.
Violet had cornered you in her bedchambers after getting dressed, asking to speak with for a moment. You kept your head down, terrified that you would lose what you had started to cherish, this family and her.
"I don't know how to say what I want to say correctly." She began.
Your eyebrows furrowed as the conversation led down a vastly different path than what you had thought.
"But I cannot remain silent." She continued, taking a deep breath and wringing her hands together. "There is a feeling, deep in my chest, whenever I am with you. It is like a string pulling me towards you and filling my heart with warmth and love and-"
"The feeling like you cannot breath when they are not near. The world seems to slow and mysteries make sense..." You trail off with uncertainty after interrupting her, trying to help her find the words.
"Do you feel it?" Violet had taken a step toward you, her hands hovering by her side, begging to reach out and hold yours.
Silently, you indulge her, reaching forward and taking her hands in yours. Instantly, it's like there is a weight that had been lifted. "This feeling is why I could never marry." You whisper to her, sharing your secret. "There has never been a man to make me feel this way."
Violet sighed. "It was different with Edmund. He was my everything, possessing my every thought and corrupting my mind. He was the air that we breathed, when he- When he died, I locked that feeling away, never wanting to be hurt that way again. I continued to live for the sake of my children, teaching them that love is worth all the pain it might bring."
"I don't want to hurt you."
"You don't hurt me my dear." She confessed. "You heal me."
the request is finally here!!! I've got a few others in my inbox rn and I promise I'm getting to them. I just got back from a stunning cruise around the mediterranean so am just settling back into my work routine for the summer x

screaming, crying, perfect storms - ryan leonard ☆
wc: 1.3k
tw: angst. new beginnings. depression. yelling?
ryan leonard x oc
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
frankie was doing good, cool, and fine. everything was just fine, and that little 'just' was enough to make everything not fine for the youngest hughes.
the girl felt stuck in a never-ending loop and she had no idea how to get out of it.
she had recently come to the realization that everyone she knew was making progress with their lives. they were either already doing what they loved or were working for it.
while she stood and watched, stuck. she didn't know what she loved; it's not like you can sleep in your boyfriend's arms for a living, right?
the poor girl was just bored with her life. sure, she had friends and a boyfriend and had finally managed to pass her classes, but at the end of the day, that's all she had.
she needed a change and she needed it fast.
frankie and summer were currently walking through the streets of nyc. frankie had fallen into a depression and summer being her best friend had decided to take her on a shopping spree in hopes to uplift the girls poor mood.
they had been playing around in one of the dressing rooms when a tall beautiful woman approached them.
"hi, I've been watching you two for the last twenty minutes, and you guys are gorgeous. my name is eloise simons, and I'm with IMG Models. I think you two would be perfect for this new summer collection; I'm going to give you two my card and you guys can go ahead and give me a call if you want to set a meeting up," the lady said, handing them a card that looked pretty legit.
the two girls looked at eloise speechless, not knowing whether or not she was joking.
"i know this is very out of the blue but I have a vision and a good feeling about you two and I just need to act on it" she said with a smile.
"thank you. we'll have to talk it over, though," summer said as frankie had seemed to go mute. the lady let out a smile.
"that's better than a 'no'. please, if you even have any questions or concerns, just give me a call." she said before bidding the girls goodbye as the best friends eyed each other with a wild look.
"if this is a prank, it's really mean," frankie said, breaking the silence.
"it's not," summer said, looking the number up and it, in fact, being real.
"oh my gosh, what are we going to do," frankie said as summer smirked.
"we have three months off" she cheekily smiled
"are you saying what i think you're saying?" frankie said
"a new york summer?" summer said excitedly as they both jumped up, squealing.
___
frankie walked into her apartment with about twenty bags to find ryan, will, gabe, jacob, drew, and aram sitting around her living room. playing video games.
"what the hell," she said, eying the boys as ryan stood up and helped her with her bags.
"you said i could invite the guys," ryan said with a smile
"I know, but it never sounds like a lot till I see them," she said as they all waved at the girl.
"wait, is summer back, too?" gabe asked as frankie nodded. the boy quickly stood up and bid goodbye to his friends before walking across the hall to his situationship.
"we're gonna head out too," will said, standing up, eyeing the rest of the boys who didn't move.
"i'm comfy" drew whined
"forts," will say with a glare as he huffed and stood up along with jacob and aram. the boys gave frankie a hug and bid ryan a goodbye before walking out.
"how was your day" ryan said as he put his girlfriends bags down.
"amazing! you won't believe what happened," she smiled, thinking about eloise.
"what happened? what did you even buy?" he asked nosily as he looked in some of the bags.
"a whole bunch of cute outfits. I bought you some things, too," she said as she pulled out some items in the bag for him.
"this is sick" he said as he eyed them. frankie smiled as he tried it on for her, watching him. she smirked before pushing him down onto the bed and straddling him.
"you look so handsome," she said, kissing his neck as he squeezed her sides.
"you're in a good mood," he smiled, looking at his girlfriend. he had been really worried about the mood his girlfriend had been in these last few weeks. she was either always mad or sad nowadays, and it made him happy to see her so happy.
"yup. I got a job today," she told him as ryan eyed her warily. don't get him wrong, he loved her but she was lazy. he thought hell would freeze over before she ever got a job, a job in new york as that.
"a job?" he said confused
"yeah, it's for the summer but if I like it I might end up doing it forever-"
"what kind of job is it?" he asked warily, seeing as she was tiptoeing around the fact of what the actual job was.
"modeling," she said as she squealed.
"you want to be a model?" he asked confused.
"well, I don't know yet. summer and I got scouted today and we want to give it a try. but if I like it I'm going to keep doing it" she explained
"what about college?" he asked. he was excited for her, really, but he was afraid she was being irrational. a thing he learned about his girlfriend is that she did things without putting much thought into them.
"well, I haven't thought that far, but I'll drop out if it comes to it," she said as ryan raised his eyebrows.
"why are you looking at me like that" she asked with a frown. she was honestly getting annoyed with how ryan was taking this. she was so excited and his reaction was honestly ruining her own.
"this is a big decision, frankie. I don't think you're thinking it all the way through-"
"i am thinking it through. that's why i'm only trying it-"
"you just said you're gonna drop out"
"I said if it came to it," she said, getting off his lap. she didn't like the way he was acting.
"i just think you're not thinking it through-"
"stop saying that! i'm not some naive little girl!" she said, getting frustrated and raising her voice.
"don't yell at me," he said in a serious tone that irked the girl to her core.
"I'll yell if I want." the stubborn girl stood her ground.
"i just want you to think about what you're doing-"
"I'm not some dumb kid, ryan!" she said taking the bags off her bed.
"well, you're acting like one," he said below his breath, but the youngest hughes had heard it, and it shattered her feelings. he knew one of her biggest insecurities, and he decided to gut her with it.
"get out," she said shaking her head with watery eyes
once ryan saw those sad eyes, he knew he screwed up.
"babe-"
"please just go. we'll talk tomorrow," she said, sniffling as he came to wrap his arms around her.
"I didn't mean that, I'm sorry," he said in her hair.
"i know. I just want to be alone, please," she said, pulling away.
ryan eyed the girl, his girl, wanting nothing more than to beg for forgiveness on his knees all night, but knew he screwed up and she needed her space. he nodded before kissing her cheek and walking out.
leaving frankie to sit, cry, and drown in her thoughts. more sure than ever that she was going to go through with this.

✈️ Colin Bridgerton Headcanons ✈️
This was requested by this lovely anon!! This is my first request so thank you for writing in! It would’ve come out sooner, but i currently have a mean tooth infection, nevertheless, the show must go on! Heads up, third one is a hint of spice. Hope u enjoy☺️
Characters mentioned : Gregory, Anthony, Benedict, Daphne, Edmund, Violet, Penelope, Debling, and Eloise
🎻= regency era
🧳= modern au
🧳🎻= either
Ps my request r open :)
🧳🎻 I think he has a very realistic view on his brothers. I think he use to blindly look up to them just bc they were his older brothers, but as time has passed he definitely sees and recognizes that they both have some decent flaws. However, he really wants Gregory to look up to him the most. I don’t think he would ever admit it to anyone, but i feel like he could think a little higher of himself (not in a bad way at all) therefor he thinks he’s led the best example for how a man should be to Gregory.
🧳🎻 He gives off shy kid vibes. Like between the ages of 4-10 he was pretty shy only having like two friends. I feel like Ben specifically found this a little concerning bc he didn’t want him to have issues in school and life in general, so together they worked really hard on getting him to not only have more confidence in himself but actually practiced having convos. I also feel like once he got to the “interested in dating people” age Daphne and Ben tried their best to tech him to talk aka flirt with people.
🧳 (Lil spicy) Had a hoe phase in college. People are always shocked about how high his body count is (20+) but he was never a douche bag to anyone he’s hooked up with. I feel like when Anthony and Benedict found out on one of the weekly boys nights they have, Ben was proud and Anthony was a little shook. Anthony made him swear up and down he always wore a condom and then congratulated him lol.
🧳 Staying on the college root, he definitely gives off world history major vibes. He def was a foreign exchange student in high school (secondary school for the brit’s out there lol) and studied a couple semesters abroad in college. Specifically went to France in high school, then America, Italy, Spain, and India in college. He also makes it a point to travel every summer. I feel like he would definitely end up as a teacher of some sort tho. Like he’s definitely the cool history teacher everyone loves. Also hes definitely that teacher that gets side tracked easily if u ask him about his time abroad.
🧳 Definitely has more girl friends than guy friends, but not super imbalanced. He just gives was invited to the girls night out vibes. (I have a headcanon that i already wrote that i would definitely add Colin too). He definitely has his Boyz™️ that he hangs with all the time, but he knows they can be a little much, so i feel like when he wants to be social but have a relaxed time he hangs with the girlies. Idk colin just gives friends with everyone vibes.
🧳 I think Colin has diagnosed anxiety, and once he learned that he became more educated and aware of mental health. I feel like he started getting panic attacks shortly after Edmund died (he was 12 yrs old if i did my math right lol) but didn’t want anyone to worry about him so he just kinda dealt with it and kinda got to a point where he thought it was normal. It came up randomly in a convo with Daphne, Ben, and Violet that he gets them but at this point he didn’t get what the big deal was. I feel like these 3 took it seriously and once he got diagnosed he put work into researching how to understand mental health issues more.
🧳🎻 He LOVES to plan dates. His go to is always dinner at a nice restaurant then a show of some kind. Play, musical, movie out, doesn’t really matter to him. He enjoys a night in, sure, but what he really loves is showing you off. He’s proud to have you as his (not in a possessive creepy way, in a sweet way) and wants to show you off.
🧳 Colin is a little bit of a jealous type. We see it in the show when Pen is being courted by Debling. However, i feel like when he’s in a relationship, he completely trust his partner. If he sees someone flirting with you he will let them flirt but he will definitely swoop in with a little hey babe and a forehead kiss lol. If someone try’s to flirt with him tho, he will just start gushing about his amazing partner. I’m talking putting out the Lock Screen and going “ya look how cute WE are”. Once y’all are married tho he NEVER takes off the wedding ring.
🧳 I feel like he has a decent following on Insta and TikTok 😂😂😂. Not like influencer numbers but like 6k on instagram and 9k on TikTok. He definitely post all his travel stuff on Insta and does like little OOTDs on TikTok. Colin gives very much “gives a fuck about how he looks” vibes so i feel like he knows the fashion trends on TikTok. His “aesthetic” is like hipster mixed with old money (bc he is in fact, old money lol). Also yes, he recognizes he gets thirst comments and will play into just a little, but once hes taken he would comment “ my partner thinks so too :)”
🧳 Colin has secret tattoos. Like his friends know but he didn’t tell his family for a minute bc he knows it would become a thing lol. They r all small and in places he can cover up (shoulder, thigh, and one on his wrist he covers up with his watch) but one day he got a little careless at the beach and let them show. I feel like Violet had a “what did u do to your beautiful body??!!” mom moment, Anthony was pissed bc he didn’t tell him, Ben laughed his ass off, and Eloise congratulated him on doing something “actually risky” for once. I feel like after the initial shock everyone really likes them and he goes out and gets more in public places.
! Bonus One !
He still sleeps with his childhood stuffed animal lmfao like it’s a cute little elephant his mom and dad got him. He has had to do many repairs on it over the years lol

The Lady Whistledown Papers : 1x07 Ocean's Apart (Part 3)
Welcome back, Gentle Readers, to The Lady Whistledown Papers, where I’m taking an in-depth look at Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton’s character arcs and romance within the show Bridgerton!
For previous issues, follow tag : The Lady Whistledown Papers
The Queen's Luncheon
The family is back together again (except, you know, for Francesca, but who's really paying attention....) Violet seems genuinely happy to be out in society with 7/8ths of her children.
Colin snarks that they should tempt scandal more often -- and I mean, he might be in a pissy mood, but I appreciate he hasn't lost his sense of humor.
I don't really ever get to talk about Lady Danbury, but she has a moment where she talks to Daphne about how her plan of showing up and, idk, being there? is helping no one talk about Colin and Marina. Sure. Okay. I still don't really get these society rules. But if Daphne is now the A-List celebrity kicking the c-tier out of the tabloids, then okay. Lol but mostly, I just like Lady Danbury and wanted to say that.
It is twenty minutes into the episode and this is our first bit of Penelope. And look how gorgeous this girl is, my god. She's got such a beautiful smile.
Anyway... not a long scene, but there are some key elements going on.
For one, the Featheringtons have caused quite a stir showing up. Ooff, the ton is not happy about them trying to foist a pregnant girl onto a Bridgerton. The nerve.
Secondly, Eloise whisks Penelope away -- it's nice that they're friends again. I love that Eloise is so concerned for her, and wants to make sure Penelope is okay, and there's this real moment of care and affection from Eloise to Pen. Eloise is so caught up in Eloise-land half the time that she doesn't always notice what's going on with Penelope, but she does still very much care.
Pen is good about it -- and (unsurprisingly) only concerned about Colin and how he's doing. (It's like she cares about him or something, idk...;) ) And it's fascinating at how dismissive Eloise is of it -- saying his ego's bruised, but the men are usually fine in this. And, I mean, she's not wrong. Look - I'm not downplaying Colin or his right to have feelings, because I think he should have feelings, and it's good that -- unlike so many other men in this universe, he expresses those feelings.
But I can also see it from Eloise's POV, too -- Colin is the one who, from a society perspective, gets off the easiest here. He will be fine, he's protected by his gender and by his family name. Whereas the Featheringtons, who are already somewhat outcasts to begin with, are bearing some truly awful treatment from society.
And then we get into Lady Whistledown, and I always love these conversations, because there's always another layer once you know that Penelope is LW. Eloise reports that people think she's gone too far this time -- and Pen looks away, because she knows it was a risky thing doing what she did. But interestingly, she reminds Eloise that Eloise was once LW's biggest admirer.
And Eloise really steps into her friendship, saying that LW has gone too far when she smears the name of her greatest friend. And Pen is genuinely moved by this. And Eloise also promises that when they find out LW's identity - a retraction will be made, and they'll restore the Featherington name. And Pen is just - she's so happy that Eloise is so dear to her. It's really heartwarming when these two can have such beautiful moments together.
Meanwhile, The Featheringtons are going to get kicked out of the luncheon. Ooff.
Cressida is going to be snarky about it - but Daphne puts her in her place, and really she should learn not to fuck with the Featheringtons (or the Bridgertons) because it will not end well for her.
[I should also point out - the Marina storyline takes a detour with Daphne getting involved to find George Crane. It's nice that the two storylines converge at this point, but neither Colin or Pen are involved at this particular point, so I'm skipping over it.]
Searching for Lady Whistledown
One storyline that I've mostly been neglecting to talk about (and is probably my favorite Season 1 storyline) is Eloise searching for Lady Whistledown. She's gotten in so deep that she's been asked by the Queen to track her down, and the Queen is now threatening Eloise if she doesn't start giving results, so Eloise is pushing all in on it.
Of course, now that she and Pen are doing alright again (interesting their little tiff in episode 5? goes unspoken about -- but I mean, they're such great friends that sometimes you get into fights and let it go because the friendship means more, you know?)
Anyway, Eloise has enlisted Pen's help in going over all the data... (which is kind of funny - as Pen is just enjoying herself watching Eloise spin in circles while the culprit is sitting right there!)
It's clever, really, the Penelope can give so much and so little away at the same time. She managed to not have the whole Marina thing tracked back to her -- shifting the focus onto the servants who (as we saw early on in the series) all gossip. Eloise has ruled out servants, but who isn't ruled out? Tradespeople! So there are new leads and new possibilities!
Also, the end of this scene is... odd, in that all it's really doing is setting up Eloise going to an opera, even though she's not out. I mean, the only reason Pen says what she says is to get Eloise to go be in the next scene so that Eloise can have a scene with the Queen. It's... a tiny bit awkward. But eh, I guess I'll just throw it to - Penelope wanting Eloise to enjoy being in society, since she's already stuck there.
And then the ending of the scene, where Penelope is meh about restoring the family name (I mean, the girl knows her family is a mess even without scandal) and laments having to sneak out the back way so not to be scene. (The amount of times this girl sneaks in and out of this house, I mean really...ten bucks says she sneaks past Colin's room on her way out.)
But anyway, on her way out, she does thank Eloise. She really is grateful to have such a great friend. And even if she knows that LW really can't be revealed, at least she has satisfaction in knowing there is at least one person in the world who truly cares about her and her well being.
[Also, as an aside, towards the end of the episode - Eloise is going to reflect on this conversation, and in kind of a brilliant misdirection, she's going to come up with the idea that Madame Delacroix could be LW.]
An Apology
Another Colin and Anthony scene! And you know what, I know. I know I know I know that this show is supposed to be about the romances, and I mean, I cannot wait to get to season 3 and really dig into Pen and Colin, we'll get there.
But I adore the sibling scenes. I really do. It's a big draw for me. And I just don't think there are enough ABC brother scenes in general. (God, I hope there are more in Season 4...anyway...) This little scene is a just a really nice mirror to the scene where Anthony reprimanded Colin a couple episodes earlier.
What is Colin up to at the beginning of this scene? It looks like a map? Colin is going to spend his evening bunkering down and really getting his travel plans in order, because now that he has no reason to stay, there's nothing holding him back from going...
Here's the thing about Colin and traveling. I do genuinely think, as a part of his personality, that he does enjoy the idea behind traveling - of seeing the world and seeing what's out there. But I think a big component to Colin's travels is that he is looking for something. What is that thing? His purpose? His place in this world? His reason for being? The answers to life's greatest mysteries? All of the above?
He is the third son -- Anthony has role as leader of the family and his duties to the Bridgerton estate. Benedict is the 'spare' but also is finding himself through artistic pursuits. Colin doesn't have the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. But so he is looking elsewhere to give his life some meaning.
The somewhat funny thing about Colin traveling, though, is what he's searching for is right where he left it. He just doesn't know it yet.
But! I do think traveling (both times) is really good for him. Seeing the world does open it up, and gives you new experiences, and lets you see the world in ways you've never seen it before. And (in both cases) it's going to help him grow up a bit. (It's also going to give him the opportunity to really fall in love again -- but he also doesn't know that yet...)
Here's the other thing about this moment... Colin isn't going to the concert because he isn't feeling up to it. He's still very much in his feelings, and when Colin is in his feelings, he retreats. Big time. (It is another reason he's traveling, too, to make an escape.) Not that he shouldn't be, his heart has been very much shattered and things like that do need time to get over.
But it's just another character trait that has been firmly set up in this season that's going to end up magnified in Season 3.
And, omg, I've barely gotten into the scene, lol...
Anthony hands over an apology drink (lol) and Colin starts getting snarky again - locusts in the street? is it the endtimes? what is happening?? Again - I love that Colin retains a sense of humor and a bit of sass. The boy may be wallowing, but he hasn't lost his cheekiness that gives him his charm.
Anthony, to his credit, doubles down on a sincere apology. And Colin becomes self deprecating again -- acknowledging that Anthony was trying to 'protect' him from his foolishness. (And Colin does seem to recognize that jumping so quickly into an engagement was somewhat foolish, even if it's going to take him a while to really get over Marina.)
And I love Anthony's banter back -- ribbing Colin about being foolish. Because it's such a sibling response. And there little banter back and forth -- again such siblingness! And I love it. Love that this show doesn't back away from balancing sincerity with levity and the push and pull that comes with real sibling dynamics.
And then Anthony becomes somewhat prophetic. He's speaking to Colin as if he was speaking to himself, saying that a broken heart will indeed mend, and at some point in the future, you'll barely remember her name. Because Anthony is in the same place Colin is -- nursing his hurt over Siena, and it occupies all of his thoughts. But pretty soon, we'll be in Season 2, and Anthony will discover Kate. And Colin will travel and (somewhat unknowingly) start a correspondence with his future wife. And the names Siena and Marina will be flickering memories of things that seem odd were once a big deal.
The other thing that Anthony does is such a sweet, big brother thing -- he reaffirms that, in the wake of it all, reassure Colin that his family loves him. Which is a big deal - because not everyone (as we'll see) will have families to rely on, but the Bridgertons are a unit, one that unconditionally supports each other, and that's a huge thing.
He also minds Colin that he has the honor of his actions. Which is an important thing to Colin. He has Anthony's respect and that means something.
The scene ends with Colin's empathetic side (as shown through brotherly teasing) coming out -- as Colin asks Anthony how is own advice is working. They may have not directly discussed it, but Colin must know about Siena, and must know that Anthony is also in pain. Anthony doesn't know how it'll play out... but we do, as we know what's coming :D
As we're nearing the end of the season this scene is most definitely setting up the future for our characters, a laying the ground work that even if these story lines are coming to a close, better things are most definitely on the horizon.
[Also - I kind of enjoy the fact that these two are going to spend the evening drinking and being miserable together. Kinda wished we got to see these shenanigans more so than the Simon/Daphne drama, but ah, I suppose that's what fanfic is for]
A Special Cocktail
The episode is going to end with Marina making herself a special potion -- of what? We won't know until the next episode. And Penelope is going to find her! Oh no, the drama! I do like how much Penelope cares, though. Even though they've done nothing between Penelope and Marina since their last exchange where Marina was a bit cruel to her, Penelope doesn't want her dead. And does want her to be okay.
Anyway, it's so weird not to have Penelope featured that much in the episode -- she was barely in it, and her story line didn't really progress at all.
But - with this (and Daphne's dramatic reveal of not being pregnant), we're crashing into the finale!
[Also, huh, it is fascinating that they're paralleling Daphne and Marina's storylines here -- both women wish for the opposite - Daphne wishing she was pregnant, Marina wishing she wasn't, and neither are getting their wish. It's some good storytelling technique here. Shame I don't necessarily care about either of these stories that much. But I can appreciate good storytelling when it's happening. Bravo show, bravo.]
On to episode 8! Whooo! (I'm happy - I'm so ready to move beyond season 1)

What do you think about the theories going around that they might announce Benedict to be bi by the end of this season? His character has always had queer undertones and the show runners have talked about making more stories with lgbtq inclusivity. As much as I love Sophie, I really don’t think they’re going to include a female lead next season
My short answer is: I've heard the rumors and even if they announce Ben as bi, he's still marrying Sophie. They already skipped Ben season, they're not going to change his story completely.
My long (really long) answer is:
I truly believe that Benedict wasn't supposed to be anything but straight. People saw him hanging out with ONE gay man, who was very much in love with another gay man, and decided he must be gay or bi too. It didn't matter that he went right to a threesome with 2 women. That storyline was merely to show Benedict how difficult life could be for some people and to stop being so judgmental and hypocritical. In the end, it was about SOPHIE BECKETT.
Bton team must have decided to keep Benedict's future open so as not to cause problems with the side of the fandom and press who would call them for supposedly queerbaiting. They consciously decided to pair him up with a woman in s2 and his poem was about a woman (another foreshadowing for SOPHIE BECKETT).
With Jess as the new showrunner, I think she decided to address Ben's sexuality and open a door for bisexuality to appease some people.
Let me just say that a lot of Benophies including me have embraced the idea of bisexual Ben, you just have to read fanfiction to see that. I am just concerned that certain people will be nasty to Sophie because they want Ben to marry a man.
I also don't think that a show whose main audience is women would erase a female lead. That would just be absolutely stupid.
They might experiment with secondary characters, but not the leads.
I'M TALKING POSSIBLE SPOILERS NOW!!!!!
I have heard about a threesome between Tilley, Benedict, and a man name Paul Suarez(?) We saw him in the trailer.
I've heard various versions. It seems Lady Tilley arranges the meeting, but I'm unsure if Ben agrees. Some people say he declines the offer. So, even if he is attracted to men, which he has never indicated in any shape or form, she is not ready to go physical. This is fine, bisexuality doesn't mean you MUST sleep with both sexes.
And honestly, if he does it, I wouldn't blame him. That man is gorgeous.
But again, it's pretty obvious that this is just to appease people. But really they are setting everything up for Benophie. There have been direct references to events from that book:
Violet moving out of Bridgerton house
Benedict losing his art
Benedict being an asshole to debutantes
All the mentions of Benedict excellent dancing skills
She's coming. SOPHIE BECKETT is coming.
Even more, they won't change canon couples because this is a business decision. The books are being republished with a tv tie-in cover. Let's say that Ben gets a male love interest, how would they do that cover? Are they going to bring a random woman to pose for him? It's the same for the other books, and some of them are too specific in the titles. Philip is going to be Eloise's husband in the show because the book is called To SIR PHILIP with Love, same for When HE Was Wicked, and It's in HIS Kiss.

Bridgerton, Ep. 3x02 – How Bright the Moon (Spoilers)
Well, this episode escalated things more quickly than I thought the story would. This is not a complaint, as a slower pace might have been more boring and a little too predictable to watch.
Again, just to go through a couple of these stories quickly. Anthony and Kate are gone and Benedict…exists. Violet is trying to get Francesca noticed by the Queen and help her find her way. But she’s also careful after what happened with Eloise.
Will and Alice are having to make quite a few adjustments in their life. At first, they are terrified that they will do something wrong and that everything will be taken from them. It goes so far that Alice is too afraid not to wear the same style of clothing as the former Lady Kent and that Will and Alice sleep in separated bedroom because “that’s how it’s done.” However, as Benedict explains to Will, the thing about all of the rules is that they are made for the marriage market. Those who are married, eh, they can get away with some things. Basically, you don’t want to do something egregious; but as they are married, they don’t have to sweat the small stuff. And changing things like clothes or choosing to sleep in the same room, most people aren't going to care.
Lady Featherington is still trying to get the heir. And it’s very clear that she never intended to find Penelope a husband. She wrote Penelope off from the beginning, figuring that Penelope would be the one to take care of her in her old age. Honestly, if you’re going to do something like this (you should never do something like this) at least give up on the stupid one. Penelope, at least, could probably figure out how to make a baby.
Francesca’s only concern is finding a good husband. And it seems like there’s a few musically inclined prospects in mind. However, Lady Danbury (like Violet) wants to help Francesca show off her talents; while Francesca does not want the spotlight on her. That might not be so easy, now that The Queen has seen Francesca play. I do like the reason that The Queen is impressed, beyond the fact that Francesca is quite good, is because she knows that Francesca is playing for herself; not to impress anyone.
Eloise is starting to break out in society. Or, rather, she’s learning how to bring herself into society. As one young lady pointed out, she’s a great conversationalist. She has the ability to tell stories in a way that one wants to listen.
As for Colin and Penelope. Well, Colin clearly isn’t all talk (of all the Bridgerton Men, Colin is the last one I would have expected to see in bed with two women). He also is quite serious about helping Penelope in the marriage market. The thing about Penelope is that she’s getting in her own way. She is quite able to carry on a conversation, but she’s so convinced she will screw it up that she does screw it up.
But, of course, she can talk to Colin. And Colin…seriously man, is there a reason why you can't give Penelope a lesson in the drawing room WITH THE LADY’S MAID PRESENT?! Would have saved you a lot of trouble. Of course, that would mean that Penelope wouldn’t have had to hide in the study. With all of Colin’s private written thoughts about his journeys. That he doesn’t want anyone to read. So, he leaves them in the open. In a room anyone has access to. Still, she didn’t have to pick one up and read. And he does have a right to be upset.
Of course, this ends up with him accidentally breaking something and him picking up the pieces. And this leads to him cutting his hand (although I cannot figure how he cut the middle of his palm considering the way he picked up the glass) and Penelope tending to his wound. During this, Penelope does say that she think Colin is an excellent writer (eh). I wonder if this moment will lead to Colin figuring out she’s Whistledown?
Anyway, they agree to meet at the ball later that night. Penelope tries to sneak away, but is seen by Eloise. Later, on the way to the ball, Eloise confronts Colin on exactly what’s going on. Colin explains that he’s trying to help Penelope find a husband. Long story short, Eloise does not want Colin to loose his friendship with Penelope, and mostly for Penelope's sake, but does ask if he can give the lessons anywhere but their home. He makes her promise not to tell anyone, she promises, and we all know where this is going.
I want to pause and discuss the Penelope and Eloise relationship for a moment. One thing that somewhat got on my nerves last season was the…not the fact Edwina was hurt and upset with Kate, but that she blamed everything on Kate. That there was no moment where Edwina realized that Kate did warn her about Anthony’s intentions, specifically he wasn’t marrying her for love, and Edwina chose to ignore that. I don’t want to make it seem like I’m saying Edwina shouldn’t be upset with Kate, but the amount of blame she put on her went too far. But with Penelope and Eloise’s situation, I’ve been liking what I see for the most part (up until this episode’s ball). Eloise is angry at Penelope and she has a right to be. It can’t be denied that, if Penelope had told Eloise the truth about Whistledown earlier on, things might have been different. That being said, Eloise also seems to know that she is also responsible for the events last season. She knew that what she was doing was considered “wrong,” she knew there would be trouble if she got caught; but she did it anyway, thinking she was so clever that she would be fine. And, let’s face it, her “rebellion” as it were wasn’t all about Whistledown. She wasn’t going to find her in that lecture hall and she went anyway.
I think, deep down, Eloise understands that Penelope only wrote that story in order to save Eloise from The Queen’s wrath. A story that wouldn’t have had to have been written, if Eloise hadn’t accidentally set herself up to be in the line of fire of The Queen. This is not the betrayal. The betrayal is the fact that Penelope should have, at the very least, told Eloise the truth about Whistledown before the story was published. I’m not saying Penelope owed Eloise the truth throughout the series, but when things started to spiral, well again, there was a way to stop it.
Anyway, it’s clear that Eloise is conflicted about her feelings about Penelope and probably needs to have a sit down. Also, as we see, probably needs to confront a few things about herself. For instance, she is a great storyteller, but needs to consider who is listening. At the ball, she sees Colin try to help Penelope and it’s clear she’s conflicted. Cressida, of course, notices and Eloise….just lets it all spill out. She tells Cressida about how Colin is helping Penelope, without noticing other’s are in earshot. So, of course, this spreads like wildfire at the ball. But I do like the fact that we are shown that it is not Cressida who tells, showing growth. It also works well for the story because, when Eloise eventually accuses Cressida of spreading the rumor, Cressida is the best person to point out that Eloise’s actions aren’t always perfect.
But I’m getting ahead. So, Penelope is able to talk to a few gentlemen and Colin congratulates her. But then they hear the whispering. Colin demands to know what this is about and basically is told her shouldn’t help one as pathetic as Penelope. Penelope flees the ball and Colin is furious at Eloise as she’s the only one who could have said anything in the first place.
Of course, this leaves Penelope in a conundrum. This obviously is the biggest gossip of the night, so she obviously can’t not write about it. But the complete self-loathing in those statements is heartbreaking as it is clear this is how she feels about herself. I also wonder what will happen between her and Eloise now that Eloise Damngets a glimpse into Penelope’s inner thoughts.
But, to wrap this post up, Colin is able to bribe Penelope’s maid in order to speak to her late one night. I don’t care if that’s the back door, people can still see you. And Penelope, who pretty much has decided that there’s no hope for her now, ask Colin for one thing. She doesn’t want to go through life without not knowing what it’s like to be kissed (I do like, in that dramatic moment, there’s that bit of humor that works so well with these characters). So, he gives her a quick peck…and then they really go for it. Penelope leaves after, thinking that there’s nothing significant (at least to Colin) about that kiss. But looking at Colin’s face, it’s clear he starting to have some realizations.

thinking about how class is never addressed with Penelope, especially with Madam Delacroix. how Theo gave Eloise a well deserved dressing down about how her privileges as a well off white woman with a powerful family shield her from consequences that he would likely lose his livelihood or life over, in particular when she went to check on him after the Queen threatened her.
thinking about how Penelope came to Madam Delacroix with a proposal she literally couldn't turn down. how she'd already written of her favorably in one breath and besmirched the modiste across the street in another. how she showed Gen that she had the means and fortitude to ruin women like her with just one sentence. how “I have proved to you how I can help you in your business, now I’d like you to help me with mine.”
what was she meant to say, No? Gen told her she'd keep her secret. Gen told her she'd never tell. and Penelope came to her anyway afterward, about how she's been sloppy as LW, about how she'd been spotted once so she'd be spotted again. about how this was a business venture and they would both benefit. that they could be partners.
about how, then, Gen finds out that the Queen of England is involved and chasing after them. how Penelope came to Gen's HOUSE, uninvited, in the midst of the Queen's cat and mouse. how terrified she was. that Penelope dismissed her concerns as 'you were aware there were risks when you signed on to this' and how Gen replied 'yes, risks, but not The Queen of England' because she knows that Penelope would be given more grace than she would be. because she knows women like Penelope would *always* be given more grace than she would be. that they always have been.
i wish Genevieve Delacroix had given her a reality check. i wish she pointed out that Penelope masquerades as a working class woman, putting on a fake accent and maid's clothes, cosplays her way into Gen's world, this privileged white woman from a scandal ridden family she besmirches herself, who makes her own money and does not have to worry about overhead or paying for a storefront or a home for herself, who gets to keep all her wages, who gets to leave it, all the while assuming they are equals with equal struggles. that she wears Gen's working class life like a costume and peels it off as soon as she's home
when will we finally acknowledge that, yes, Penelope works, but she is not a working woman? that, yes, Penelope's family has fallen on hard times, but they are very much a 'distinguished family' who live in a huge house in the middle of a rich neighborhood, titled, that Penelope is a lady with a lady's protections and privileges. that Penelope is invited to all the fancy parties Gen would never be considered for. that Penelope wears the expensive, sparkling dresses Gen makes for her, mends for her, that she herself would never have a reason to wear
that Penelope pretends her way into a working world, is more than happy to do so for a day, a night, an excursion: and then disregards so many people who try to survive in it. and is never once asked to recognize that in herself
#penelope featherington#madame delacroix#Genevieve Delacroix#bridgerton#eloise bridgerton#theo sharpe#i just think about it a lot#especially as someone who grew up hyperaware of class#the way rich people are so completely in the dark about the complexities of poverty but assume they know about it#how penelope appropriates so much from working people and then doesn't even look at them favorably#she was willing to get Theo and the Printer fired#(not to mention calling him lazy like damn Pen YOU run a publishing house it's NOT EASY)#that she ran a modiste out of business#didn't even care about her name: just saw her as collateral damage in the pursuit of getting what she wants#i don't think penelope is evil#but i DO think she gets passes for her bad behavior#and it's just. . .kind of stale#the way penelope treats woc in particular throughout the course of her story is NOT IT

Love your blog! Huge Jonerys shipper and just finished Seaosn 2 of Bridgerton and LOVE Polin! Kantony was amazing too! I am so excited for Season 3! Did you see the trailer! Would love yo know your thoughts! Hope you have a great day!
OH! SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THIS! Thanks for asking.
First, Jonerys will always be my OTP. Yeah, the show ended like a burning pile of dog turds, but in fan fiction they're living happily ever after as they should have. The one good thing is that Kit's show is not going to be made which means they will not be able to profit off Daenerys Death anymore than the already do. Kit, find you another franchise where you can swing a sword. I'll watch it. I sat through Pompeii I can do anything.
Second, I love KANTHONY!!! I mean, the PINING! THE UST! LOVE IT! All the glances and touches and the "You are the bane of my existence and the object of my every desire" yes, sir! PLEASE. Love them. So glad we get to see them happy and in love this season. Just a boon, for sure.
Third, POLIN! Ok, hang on, let me get this out of the way first because it is a huge concern to me. I do not, under any circumstances, want to see Eloise join in with Cressida to make fun of Penelope. I get it, she's hurt, but please don't let her do that because she knows all of the sensitive points about Penelope, not even counting Lady Whistledown. She knows the things she's sensitive about and stands to truly hurt her. I had my former best friend do that to me and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Though, Nicola and Luke were both adamant about their love for Eloise. So, here's hoping.
POLIN - Alright, I'm going to say what I'm sure many other people are thinking -- Colin needs to grovel in apology for what he said. It's already difficult enough for Pen, with her introverted nature, to meet and talk to people. That has been clearly established. But to then have an influential man in the ton declare that he would never dream of courting her? I mean, talk about ruining a girl's chances all around.
There are little things throughout the trailer that fascinate me. One being that I think Penelope isn't going to arrive to one of the balls with her family but fake an illness and stay home. Perhaps after seeing Eloise with Cressida at a garden party earlier that day. Something sparks within her and causes her to no longer lie there, but throw open her wardrobe and we see her getting dressed. We do see Pen see them walk away together. So, I think she comes in late, dressed in a different gown, with a different look. Perhaps she asked Madam Delacroix to make it for her outside of her mother's knowledge. Because we see her standing at the top of a staircase in a red cape and then dramatically allowing it to fall to the ground. Everyone turns and looks. (My favorite thing, is if you look at the crowd, her brother-in-law, Mr. Finch is smiling at her - such a sweet, cheese loving boy!). But Cressida and Eloise look shook. Also, in this same scene we do see Francesca and Pen later talking. This is important to me as it is said in the books, Colin is very close with Franny, especially once he starts traveling and she moves to Scotland. Lady Danbury is obviously speaking with the Queen about the possible matches that could be made. So far, all the writings we've seen about this season show that Mister Dankworth is interested in marriage, but instead of being along the lines of Nigel Berbrook, he's more along the lines of Prince Friedrich. You might root for him if Colin wasn't already in the picture. I have a feeling that while his interest will spark jealousy in Colin, it will also spark confidence in Penelope. Which, judging by some of these awkward convos we see her having with some of the other men of the ton, she really needs. But the sight of them dancing beneath the moonlight in the ballroom, and their heads close together over a book, and Colin having to sit back and watch as a bystander, is too sweet for me to take. Colin is the sort you have to hit over the head and drag him to it. Someone else finding her desirable could spark that wait, what have I missed. We love our leading man, but baby are you dense. The scene where he's sitting back and the flame slowly lights, it's like Colin's love for Penelope. It doesn't happen all at once, but as it grows and glows it gets brighter. Their trope is she falls first, but he falls harder. And in the books, that 100% true. He's my wife this, my wife that. Once he realizes that he's in love with her, there is nothing else that matters to him BUT her.

In one of your older posts you described Eloise and phillip as a single dad x magic pixie dream girl.
I was wondering if you could expand on this concept?
I've always wondered what happened after end of the book.
Honestly I need to read the Bridgerton Epilogues too.
I don't remeber when I said this about Phillip and Eloise being an example of the single dad x manic pixie dream girl trope. But it does sound like me. Mostly because to me Julia Quinn averted falling into the trap of making Eloise relationship with Phillip entirely two dimensional.
So we all know about the MPDG she's the female version of the hallmark hero. She's fun, quirky, outside the mold and seems to have landed on our hero's doorstep to cure his depression and make him feel like life can be fun again (then Julia said 'hey, what if the manic pixie dream girl had trauma after seeing her dad die and also had a family of wacky, equally traumatized siblings). Then we have the single dad, he's often overworked, depressed and his dubious approach to parenting has turned his kids into unruly brats.
Wait a minute, what do you mean that the resident MPDG has trauma? And a life of her own? so here's where it gets fun. Because as the story progresses we learn that not only was Eloise not placed in the story to solve Phillip's problems, she is quite frankly going trough a existential crisis of her own, and he and his kids are invertedly helping her trough it. Because we come to learn that Eloise is a lot more than this talkative extrovert who likes to give orders. She is deeply concerned about life passing her by and everyone moving on with their lives except her and she just really wants to find out if falling inlove IS actually something she's been missing out all along.
And it turns out that our depressed single dad really never had anyone to teach him how to be a good person, other than his brother who died. But he's been muddling trough and all this time the depression was because he simply has been beating himself up most of his life, for not being good enough or 'man enough' to fix everything that's wrong in his life without help.
And this is where we reach the deconstruction of the trope, because at the end of the story, Phillip comes to terms with the fact that Eloise isn't this perfect idealized woman of his dreams, I mean she's certainly brilliant and wonderful but not perfect. And that's okay, he never wanted perfect, he just wanted someone who would smile and maybe love him. He never expected Eloise to change his life but she did and he doesn't know how to go back to living without that.
And then we see Eloise, who never thought anyone would need her or appreciate her for all the things everyone told her were flaws, like being loud, bossy and energetic. And tho Phillip is not perfect, he does try his best to be better every day and appreciate who she is as a person, not because of how she's good at fixing his life, but because she's herself, a kind, friendly no nonsense woman with a heart of gold who can and will stand up for herself even against someone she loves. He's not her perfect one dimensional hallmark hero, he has a life of his own, and hopes, dreams and fears, outside of just pleasing her and being her husband. But he would do anything to make her happy and that's all she needs to build a good marriage.
It's very much real, in TSPWL how sometimes we idealize the people we are writing to, when we have never met them in person and build them up to be these perfect paragons of virtue and then we meet them in person and it turns out the manic pixie dream girl has trauma and the hallmark one dimensional hero, is actually just a guy trying to figure out his life.
Maybe that's another thing i love so much about this couple.

My thought on Eloise is that, as she herself states in Season 3, it’s not confidence it’s just that she can’t understand why people do things they do. I think she is actually a really selfish character. Not in the typical sense though. I mean that in the sense that she likes doing what she does and that’s it. She values herself above all. She isn’t a selfish person necessarily cause she does share and care. But She just really holds her own value and time as her top priority. I think causes her to have a lack of empathy.
I haven’t read the books, so not sure how this changes. But I would really enjoy it if the show starts to explore that with her own love story. Like letting her learn to show appreciation and understanding for others. Cause she really has a hard time understanding people’s concerns but I think she is getting there. She is growing up a lot.
Where as Colin, per mama Bridgerton in season 3, has always been more empathic and emotional. I think that will really play a role in the whole LW reveal. So I agree with you.
ahh, see i wouldn't say selfish, i would say self-absorbed perhaps. a lack of self-awareness as well. she's really very sheltered and privileged and even when people try to communicate that, she doesn't really grasp it. i think she has empathy but only insomuch as the situation is understandable to her.
like she says, she doesn't get why people don't think like she does. you can only understand so much when you're not willing to see other perspectives. but i agree, i think she's growing up this season which tracks with her book, her catalyst comes from colin and penelope getting married.
i did read her book and like it a good bit. she's pretty impulsive and talks a lot, ha. i think what they're doing with her now is setting her up good for her season tbh. the show is dialing up her internal conflict to 100 for sure but i can see what they're doing there by sort of, essentially, taking polin away from her. especially since in the books, colin is her favorite.
penelope is a safety net for eloise. not the other way around i'd say. eloise being without that is making her grow up and i want her season sooner rather than later honestly, i just always liked eloise so much, even if she was a pain in the ass, that i read her book immediately after polin's.
and yeah, colin is very sensitive, especially to penelope in a way that eloise just is not. she's not bad for it but she's not ready to be where they are yet either.

Hi! I've been reading your fic for a while now, and I want to come here to just make my point that I love your writing and your fanfic (Unspooled Thread).
Can I just have this moment to say that I love how you're portraying Violet?
I mean, in the books that I read, I thought she was worse than in the TV show (I like Violet, I just mean that she's more insistent and stuff in the books). In the show, we can see she loves her family but is settled on marrying all of her children for love, because she wants them to have what she had. Which is beautiful because we're talking about love, but also too pressuring and kinda selfish, if you think about it. Because it's love, we don't see it as selfish, and because she's a mother, and a good one as they sell to us. But taking Eloise as an example, Eloise doesn't want any of this, or at least not in the way her mother wants it for her. And it's upsetting that she has to live in a certain way because society AND her mother demands her to (although Violet is very chill about it concerning Eloise. She doesn't force her to marry and all that)
EITHER WAY- MY POINT BEING:
I love that Violet is kind of a shell of what she once was. I don't know about the younger ones, but at least Anthony, Benedict, Daphne and Eloise have their problems with her. Anthony by being forced to deal with everything, Ben and Daphne kinda the same but in other aspects. And I love how you're always hinting at Benedict being fed up with it, wanting to be the child again and not the father of his siblings. Even if it's unfair, we know that Anthony already has this hole, and it's exhausting to know everyone else has to suffer the same fate, the older ones.
I loved how Daphne confronted Violet in this chapter. As a mother, Violet had failed her when she failed to prepare her for life. Of course, it's not Violet's fault. Daphne could simply not have gone with Simon into a bloody garden known to be a place where you're ravished SUHAHUSAHUSUAHHSUA She could have done it for her team. But once everything happened, Violet could have tried harder to explain things considering she was overly familiar with the notion, having EIGHT children. I know it's awkward, but good Lord, a bit more would suffice.
Also, I know Portia isn't a great mother to Penelope, but I like the TV version, and I also like that she showed concern for Marina in some extent. I like how Bridgertons and Featheringtons are opposite to each other in many aspects, and I think I really like how Portia is everything Violet can't be. She may not show affection as Violet does, but she is bloodthirsty for getting her daughters a better life. She does whatever she can, unashamedly.
I have much more to say, but I said quite a lot USHAHUSAHUSHUAHUSAHUSAUHSA So I'll apologize for this huge ask and go back to study.
First and foremost, thank you for reading!! I appreciate it immensely and I hope you will continue to like it! ♥️♥️♥️
Second, I have FEELINGS about Violet, all that you’ve seen by how well you dissected I’m portraying her in this fic and her children’s complicated feelings about her. @velvetcovered-brick and I discussed at length how do we portray this loving mother figure that also has flaws? How do we demonstrate the complicated emotions her older children might have about it?
You’ve nailed it on the head. Yes, she’s a loving mother but she cannot force her children to chase live in the way she wants them to. That’s a journey they must have on their own, it cannot be forced.
While Benedict’s character in the show hasn’t been explored via flashbacks like Anthony has, I have assumed that since Anthony has had to balance being a viscount and a father figure. When Anthony is consumed with the role of viscount, Benedict, and I have always assumed Daphne, took on parent roles.
This strikes me the most for Benedict in the way he checks on Eloise or how he wrangles the squabble between Gregory and Hyacinth at the breakfast table. For Daphne you see it in how she treats her sisters.
At the same time, I imagine they wish their mom would step up a bit more cause they want their own lives separate from the care of their siblings. They may love their family but that doesn’t change wanting to be an independent adult with your own identity.
Daphne’s bitterness needed to be… palpable. I always felt how it came through in the show, feeling so unprepared. And if I’m being honest… I have a similar feeling towards my own mother. My mom hated having tough conversations, whether it was about how my body worked or about emotions. So she preferred to never have them at all. So I identify with Daphne’s feelings deeply.
And while Portia is not my favorite character, I have no doubt she does love her daughters. Does she underestimate Penelope? Yes. Has she been a neglectful of her youngest? Yes. But I know she loves her and truly believes she is doing what’s best.
Phew, that was a lot of feelings. Anyways, thank you for reading and I hope you’ll continue to like the story!! ♥️♥️♥️

It’s CMA-
Sorry I work sundays now so I can’t check in as soon as you post:(
First of all, Anthony giving Ben a lecture and Lottie giving clover chocolates will never not be funny. It’s the most accurate painting of their personalities in the entire series lmao.
Ooh I wonder what kind of knife clover will gift Eloise! That will be fun and hilarious and I’m sure it won’t cause any trouble at all (/s /pos)
I love how much Ben is so eager to show her the country home and have it ready for her and everything. It’s very sweet of him to even before they go there be preparing it for her so that she feels safe and comfortable.
Also I feel like Ben is constantly scheming lmao. He’s always got something up his sleeve. It’s always something good but I feel like he’s always got a secret but in a good way.
I love that he got a chance to tell Anthony and Lottie that he’s actually happy for them. It was a sweet gesture in the midst of the teasing haha.
I wonder if clover is helping Lottie pick out the flowers for the wedding! I feel like clover is unexpectedly the default flower arrangement person for all their weddings lol, if only because she gets annoyed with the florists not doing a good enough job. (like ‘that’s not what that flower means!’, ‘really? A ____ for a wedding bouquet?’, and just knowing flower meanings and what’s outdated and stuff lol)
How long of a break do poor Eloise and Colin get before they find their partners do you think? I need the clown faced meme for them starting with them thinking that they will get a few more seasons to themselves and then progressing with everything that’s happened lol
This is random but have you been watching any of the new Star Wars or spider verse stuff? Or what have you been up to/watching/reading lately? Idk I just feel like doing some chit chat haha
CMA hi my loveeee! ❤️
Omg please don't worry about that! ❤️
Lolll aw I'm glad to hear that! 😂 Exactly, Lottie is like giving people gifts while Anthony is like "Ben, do NOT fuck this up, you have responsibilities as the best man" 😂
I feel like Clover will find a pretty knife for her, maybe with her initials and such 🥰 Eloise will love that gift 😁
Yessss, Benedict is so excited to show her their country house and he has all these plans to make sure she loves it there 🥰 Alsooo they will have a HUGE garden 🥰
He has another secret/surprise in the studiooo 😏
He really is happy for Lottie and Anthony, but he will whine about it a lot 😁 And he will tease them so much😁
Oh that's such a wonderful idea darling, yes! 🥰 She would definitely be the flower person in the family, they will all go to her when they need anything concerning flowers and such, I think Colin will basically drag her to the florist while he's courting Pen so that Clover can pick the best flowers for her 😂
Very good question! 😍 I feel like Colin will realize he's in love with Pen the very next season and Eloise will fall in love in the season after that 😁 So meanwhile, Clover will help her intimidate her suitors 😈
Oh I haven't watched any of the Star Wars/Spiderverse stuff my love, are they good? ❤️
I'm actually in one of those like, you know those periods you don't watch anything new for some reason, but go back to the shows you've already watched? I'm totally like that nowadays😂 I tried to start on these new Walking Dead spinoffs and even Lost, because I haven't watched Lost and I couldn't focus on any of those 😂
So rn I'm rewatching Supernatural for the nostalgia and also Buffy the Vampire Slayer because why not 😁 How about you? ❤️

Conversation between King Cedric Tyrell of the Reach, and Lord Omer Florent, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: The Ghosts that Remain. / @omerflorent
setting: the king of the reach is seen walking through the corridors towards the chambers of the lord commander. there he waits for the guards to enter, announcing his presence before walking in. the atmosphere seems as though something is rushed and tense - he clutches something leather in his hands.
and when the king finally cried, it were as though he would not stop. cedric tyrell's cries were quiet, as though he were suffocating - his shoulders heaved as though his soul tried to leave his body. as though his chest would burst, and the walls of highgarden itself would collapse, and the kingdom with it.
ooc: cedric finally asks one of his florent cousins to translate the brightwater tongue found within his mother’s diary. the consequences reveal what he always feared.
cedric: “leave us.” and his tone is on edge, as though he needed to do this now. lest he find himself wishing to never know the truth. “i need you to read something for me.”
omer: and the lord commander looked up as the king came in to further clear the room. rising from his seat he placed his hand on his king's shoulder and led him to the small solar where lucrezia wasn't in the bath. “what is it?” and he takes the book, opening it up, fingers moving over the fine writing. the familiar language. “what is this, cedric?”
cedric: and in his movement and actions, he barely considers the reasons why omer would have directed him to the solar. his feet seemed to move, but cedric recognised nothing about his surroundings, only fixing a look on omer's striking blue hues. they haunted him. as though they were not etched upon his face too. was he cursed by the gods to have his mothers eyes, as a reminder of his failure of her? “my mother’s. she drafted a letter before sending it, to her cunt brother. your cunt father. translate this.” and he pointed directly at words that were in the brightwater tongue.
(my lord brother of brightwater, i implore you to reconsider your rejection of wardship for your nephew. cedric is sharp in his wit and sharper still with his tongue, and has been raised as a son of brightwater in his own way. i wish for him to be safe within this world, especially now more than ever. there is none other i would trust with looking over my son but you, my gracious lord. the concern and insult for oldtown’s ambitions continuing beyond this war are shared; in this, i assure you, highgarden and brightwater remain the most steadfast of allies. no son of brightwater would be sent to ward with oldtown; as you have always taught me. concerns are, very high. a constant priority. a constant thought. tá amanna is cosúil m'fhear céile as a meabhair. tá amanna ann is dóigh liom go ndéanfaidh sé dochar dom. i wish for my son to see a piece of what it means to have florent blood, my lord - and if this were possible, you would have my utmost and undeniable gratitude. perhaps my lord can consider the strengths of having a tyrell ward; it will give your own noble and virtuous son another to depend on. má tharlaíonn aon rud dom, le do thoil a ghlacadh mo mhac. please tell my nephew his aunt thinks of him. i have tried to send him some correspondence, however believe to have yet gotten a response; perhaps it is not getting through for i do not know where to reach him. guím ort, a thiarna. deartháir mór. yours, lady eloise of highgaren. do dheirfiúr beag.)
omer: and he reads it, he reads it several times. he doesn't look up at his king as he makes sure he is reading what's before him. he's never seen this letter among what he searched from his father's possessions. “sometimes...my husband seems mad. there are times i think he will hurt me. i pray to you, my lord. big brother. your little sister.” and he reads it again to himself, he knew cedric didn't know the old tongue... even the simple parts...must have looked like gibberish.
cedric: and for a moment, there is no reaction at all. he watches the fox of brightwater reread the words again, and then again, almost as though he needed to be sure of what he was reading. and for a moment, cedric himself felt as though he were preparing to hear an abomination. he felt as though he needed to clutch the soil before feeling the world shake and end beneath him. “...she wanted the families to be closer.” and he goes silent again. he remembers the way eloise tyrell would speak of brightwater, speak of the pipes and the flutes, even would show him a style of dance in which his young mind thought her feet would break for the way they danced against the wood beneath the soles of her feet. “take my son.” and there was a slight laugh that came from his lips, but it was not his usual chuckle. it sounded as though he were laughing at the gods. at his life.
omer: and he says nothing, it's not appropriate. he stands there looking at the other. watching his cousin. they son of the pearl they called him. upon his birth they played the horns and pipes for him. omer was 3, his mother just died and his father wouldn't parade but he remembered the way the folk cheered for him. omer; and his chuckle causes a crack across the surface of his demeanor, his heart. his brother stands there, his king, and there's nothing he can do to make him feel better. words were wind and did little to mend the broken.
cedric: “she said she didn't think our mother would have done this to herself. in the maze. before you found us.” and slowly, then suddenly, it were as though he had been bounced into action. his pace seemed to have him dart, like a fox, from the side of omer and suddenly he were beside the crackling fireplace in one of the small solars in the lord commander's chambers. “before he ordered an arrow to her neck.” and he looked directly at omer, his hand moving to each of the diary pages, his rips violent. page by page, the sound of it loud, for cedric did not raise his own voice. “on her wedding day. our sister, on her wedding day.” and the pages were being crumpled into a fist, before being thrown into the fire. he did not wait for them to crumple before throwing more, a sudden burst of movement coming in him throwing the entire leather bound into the fireplace. it needed feeding. and the rage in which he threw it with almost caused embers to end up on the rug. “helena was right.”
omer: and the sudden movements of the other don't startle him as he watches, gazes over him. he started moving toward him as he ripped at the pages and asked the question. as he repeated the words of helena, the sweet girl stolen from them. ;and while it sounds the other knows his sister was right, omer didn't need to tell cedric she was right because they read the words. the lord commander spoke them out loud. and when he was in front of the other, he could only think about those nights he spent alone after the north and the nights he wished for something more than what he had. and he couldn't let his little cousin. his little brother live a life with nothing. and so he pulled the man into his arms, holding him close. tight so the other couldn't escape from the hug.
cedric: and there was no reaction as the lord commander moved closer to him, and for a moment he began to feel as though the walls of this cursed solar were caving in on them. and it were as though every instinct within him seemed to scream at the seven heavens and hells alike at the mere touch of omer florent, his reaction being to try and push him off. “goldengrove...i was in GOLDENGROVE, with....” and his voice suddenly booms, and there is no sadness in it. only loss. he was in goldengrove with his dead best friend upon the news that both lord and lady tyrell had seemingly died, only none had told him of how twisted it was until he was home to view the shrouds themselves. and he ignored it, for he knew how poisoned ivy seemed to spread within his family home. “poisoned her...his wife.” and the entire time he is shouting, he cares not for who overhears him, servants or whoever else were in these chambers. and how much better was he? had he too not killed the woman he had taken as wife? and his tone changed from angry, to a sense of desperation; desperation in trying to figure out what it was he was doing here. what was he supposed to do with this information?
cedric: and despite asking him to get off him, he clung to the lord commander; he clung to the cousin who should have been in his life so much sooner. his mother wanted them together. and when the king finally cried, it were as though he would not stop. cedric tyrell's cries were quiet, as though he were suffocating - his shoulders heaved as though his soul tried to leave his body. as though his chest would burst, and the walls of highgarden itself would collapse, and the kingdom with it. and he stayed that way, silently begging for forgiveness. not from any of the gods people fell on their knees for. he prayed the pearl of brightwater would have forgiven him in her last moments. forgiven him now, wherever she was.
#the fact all this happens whilst lu is casually in the bath next door is the funniest shit he has no clue#cedric: 3 year pending break down omer: oh my god wtf lu; where's the soap???#c: omer#if i only could make a deal with god and get him to swap our places (eloise&cedric tyrell)#watch as the world comes tumbling down ; when it does i'll right behind you (cedric&omer)#house tyrell ; the whole tree does not die because one branch falls (the uprooting of the roses)
