ATLA sexuality headcanons, part 1, Aang's era:

aang

-unlabelled or pansexual, also incredibly gnc. he/they methinks

-he never questioned it, he never thought about it. the air nomads were chill with everything, so he was too.

-he simply loves people, and he loves them deeply. he's the sort of person who says "i love you" very fast. and he doesn't have a specific type, either. he simply connects with people.

-he definitely had a bit of a thing for kuzon back in the day. kuzon taught him all the fire nation dances he knows, and bumi cheered them on.

-he also kinda digged teo, the mechanist's son, but by that point he already had his heart set on katara.

-as for girls, he DID like on-ji. in different circumstances, they would might have dated for a short while. but with katara it was love at first sight. the sort that makes you giddy and stupid.

-he's a lot worse at rizzing up katara because he is just THAT into her and he keeps fumbling

katara

-growing up, she never really questioned it. she knew she definitely liked boys and never had feelings for another girl.

-she's certainly fully cisgender. happily says “she/her/hers” when asked for her pronouns

-on the contrary, she was somewhat attracted to haru and jet both—and might've even considered zuko in different circumstances. like she definitely felt something akin to attraction in the crossroads of destiny.

-she fell in love with aang, because he gave her hope, he gave her joy, he gave her balance. she already felt SOMETHING in the cave of two lovers, but she was deeply confused and her feelings didn't clear until after the war.

-she always thought of herself as straight but said that, if she had the chance, she would be willing to kiss a girl—as an experiment. she just sort of always admired pretty girls, in the sense of "do i wanna BE her or DATE her,"

-and she's really passionate about feminism, obviously

-she always prefers getting compliments from other women because "they're worth mOre"

-eventually she meets jiang who's such a butch lesbian and questions EVERYTHING

-is that a girl? is that a boy? idk but why are they kinda...

-niyok and nutha both give homoerotic friendship vibes with her (all comic specific characters have the combined personality of one person hence why I'm including both)

-since she was dating aang she didn't explore her sexuality, but she discussed it with him and he supported her

-she considered identifying as bi but didn't feel like she qualified, since she'd never actually dated a girl. aang told her it's okay eifher way.

-at the end she decides to keep it all behind closed doors as per water tribe tradition. she's happy with aang, some girls are hot, it's nobody's business but her own.

-i also completely fw the reading of her as a straight cis girl, but you know

sokka

-bisexual, female lean, and maybe even poly.

-he fell for yue, he fell for suki. he definitely found like, ty lee attractive, but he didn't LIKE her. He was involved with suki, and they hadn't had any conversation about the exact status of their relationship so he wasn't about to fumble it.

-suki and him are both bi. and if yue were alive they'd BOTH be dating her. at the same time.

-zuko was sokka's bi awakening. seeing zuko and suki run around in the boiling rock absolutely changed his brain chemistry.

-he had a hard time accepting it, because of how the water tribes roll. he had a preconceived notion of manhood that he obviously had to challenge alongside his initial sexism.

-but then he realised that 1) his dad had been in a secret poly relationship with kya and bato, and then with bato and malina-- 2) his grandma had a fling with hama--3) master piandao and jeong jeongwere a thing--and 4) his girlfriend herself, suki, was bi. so bro had nothing to worry about.

-his identity became clear to him with suki's and his father's help. unlike katara, he was a bit more open and public with it. being poly, him and suki had many opportunities to explore it, always respecting each other's boundaries.

-sometimes suki does his makeup and he grows to enjoy it. he experiments with gender expression until he becomes totally chill with it.

-big part of his character is learning that he doesn't have to be a “man” in the way that patriarchy imposed on him his whole life

-so like, cisn't

toph

-toph has crushes on boys: sokka, zuko, the duke, satoru, sun, kanto. but i think non of them are really legit.

-toph would also flirt with girls, like, yaling

-had a 'not like other girls' phase

-she/they/he vibes, has a very complicated relationship with gender

-because she was made fun off by other girls as a child, it was harder for her to blend in and talk with them

-she was also raised sheltered within the walls of aristocracy which contributed to her not thinking about it

-she avoided commitment and serious relationships like the plague

-so she's unlabelled and perhaps in the aro spectrum. like, demisexual. but being both demi (aka needing to like someone as a person and getting to know them before feeling attracted to them) AND having commitment issues and a bunch of failed relationships is like, a DEADLY combo.

-i don't know. she is chaotic and not at all skilled with romance so she always fumbles it.

-but i also think she might just be 1000% aromantic whether or not she understands it fully

-i think that's very plausible

suki

-bisexual with a female lean and maybe poly

-big she/they vibes

-she's got endless autistic rizz like girl seduced sokka at light speed.

-in kyoshi island they called the bisexuals 'children of kyoshi' and the lesbians 'children of rangi'

-kyoshi island is basically lesbos if you didn't know /hj

-had her first kiss with mingxia before they decided that "ew, never again, i see you like a sister". she was super happy to meet meilin, mingxia's girlfriend

-DEFINITELY liked biyu and they might have been a thing in different circumstances. Aka if biyu hadn't betrayed her.

-would've dated both sokka and yue if yue was alive. like she would have loved yue. both of them having never left their respective homelands. both of them caring about community and having a duty to their people, a leadership position,,,

-but suki being so badass, liberated, free—and yue needing to sacrifice herself to BE free from her oppressive environment,,, like yue would also admire suki so much?? they would love exploring the world together and it'd put sokka out of a very awkward spot-

zuko

-demiromantic, bisexual. like this boy is SOMEWHERE im the ace spectrum but he's also bi. I'd say with a male lean.

-had internalised homophobia growing up, because, duh, fire nation

-he definitely thought that everyone feels like that when he was a child until his mother told him that this was very much NOT the case

-the gaang made him realise that it's totally okay and since they are all so queer he felt very safe with them

-made gay marriage legal in the fire nation

-made pride a thing in the fire nation inspired by the rainbow fire because i said so

-definitely felt attracted to both jet and sokka in the guy department.

-now, when it cames to girls, mai was his childhood crush.

-he definitely found song attractive but he was NOT in that headspace obviously

-same thing with jin although he was in a better headspace then. he introduced jin and song to each other post-war and they dated each other.

yue

-never got the chance to figure out how much girlypop liked women

-i could so easily claim she's a femme lesbian and that sokka was comphet, and I could even CONVINCE ya'll, because he is SO comphet coded, but I really love yue's storyline as it is and the lasting affect it has on sokka,,,,

-i can also imagine her on the ace spectrum

-she's so sapphic she's so queer bro is literally the moON?? what's more sapphic than the moon

-so, whatever, I'll say she's bi with a STRONG female lean. if she'd survived and joined the gaang she would have dated both sokka and suki and i truly believe that

-she would've loved suki and i just KNOW it

-love her so much let my girl be free of her arranged marriage

ty lee

-lesbian or pansexual. was ready to risk it all for mai. also completely down to be in a polycule

-she simply enjoyed male validation and attention due to her unmet childhood emotional needs. the dudes at the beach as well as sokka were giving massive comphet energy.

-i do also accept the possibility of her being pan, that'd be pretty great, but yknow, we do need more lesbians.

-despite being a fire nation citizen i think she'd be pretty open and liberated when it comes to her identity, at least wherever it's safe

-because her own ideology and philosophy is like. pseudo air nomad philosophy so i think she simply doesn't give a shit

-she is really into pride events. she LOVES the parade.

-i think she did have feelings for azula, at least as a child. then it all became really unhealthy,

-still, she felt sad about how things ended with azulw. she genuinely wishes it were different

mai

-she does also give comphet lesbian vibes BUT the "i love zuko more than I fear you" line SLAPS so I'm going to say bisexual with a female lean. she's also definitely asexual—and also demiromantic.

-ADORED ty lee, she just always assumed ty lee would choose azula

-it takes mai a long time to develop feelings for anyone, but when she falls she falls hard

-she's really not a big pride person, but she grows to enjoy it eventually. she goes with zuko and ty lee.

-she's not super vocal about her sexuality, but she also doesn't hide it. she doesn't give a shit. it's her business.

azula

-azula is a lesbian. not debatable like the others, to me.

-her feelings towards ty lee and mai are very reminiscent of sozin's feelings for roku i believe. like iykyk.

-she couldn't remember which of the boys was the one she was supposed to "like," but she remembered perfectly which bikini ty lee and mai were wearing. she picked chan like lesbians pick a random boy to crush on in middle school.

-and then she instesd remembered one of thr gusy who were flirting with either mai or ty lee. bestie was jealous.

-she had comphet, so much comphet. she wanted to be loved.

-so much internalised homophobia.

-she has a type, and it's brunette non benders of similar build. by which i mean ty lee and suki

-the ill will she holds towards mai in her comic for ruining their group over a stUpid BOY-

-it's comical,,

-i love her.

jet

-all the freedom fighters are queer

-jet is probably pansexual or bisexual. and also he/they

-he had a thing for katara but he sure as hell also had a thing for zuko

-he punches homophobes in the face

-i never liked jet when i was a kid because he was a jerk and i hated him with katara, but i grew to really enjoy his character and his arc

-this boy wants to eat the rich

-he doesn't want gay marriage, he wants to abolish marriage

smellerbee

-transfem ICON, she/her, though generally gender non conforming.

-and she's also also aromantic and asexual.

-queer platonic relationship with longshot, because of how deeply they love and understand and support each other

-if you misgender her on purpose the whole group will gang up on you and by the end of it you'll have four broken limbs and they'll be arrested for aggravated assault

longshot

-he's aromantic and asexual but he's got unmatched non-verbal autistic rizz

-as i said, QPR with smellerbee

-but all the freedom fighters plan to keep living together forever,, they're found family

-him and smellerbee just have a particularly special bond

the duke

-the duke is pansexual, i think

-i think he had a crush on toph

-also he/they

-and that's about all I've got

pipsqueak

-he/they/she

-pipsqueak's literally his chosen name, nothing cisgender about that,

-gay

sneers

-transmasc, he/they, potentially genderfluid

-dating kori who is bi

haru

-bisexual, female lean

-he/they, potentially genderfluid

teo

-gay, crush on aang

jin and song

-jin is pansexual, would definitely date song who is a lesbian

-zuko introduces them!!

uncle iroh

-straight ally. women are great! big womaniser back in his day.

-loves gay people

-huge support for zuko coming out

-that being said, he wasn't ALWAYS an ally. like he wasn't homophobic either, but he didn't support queer people before lu ten came out to him. then he accepted it, because he loved his son. finally, travelling the world and studying different philosophies led him to be a great ally.

-then he became the biggest ally ever amd a huge advocate for queer rights

-on a similar note, lu ten was gay. ozai was straight. zhao was straight and azulon was probably also straight. just getting them out of the wAy.

piandao

-gay gay gay. likes men.

-him and jeong jeong as a salty judgmental old couple is so real

-also everyone knows about it but nobody dares to give him shit for it

-he just glares and you immediately get off his back

-he could get himself a husband and nobody in the fire nation would do anything to stop him because they literally cannot arrest him

-he'll just shut the door on their face

jeong jeong

-also gay. big gay.

-tons of internalised homophobia, bless him

-tons of self hatred

-like, the way he sees his firebending as a curse of destruction and hatred and hates himself for it—instead of seeing all the colours of the dragons' rainbow fire, like zuko and aang, who symbolise the new generation

-it can work so well as a queer self-acceptance metaphor

-he definitely ends up with piandao, as i said before. begrudgingly in love.

hama

-lesbian. privately, as per water tribe tradition.

-nobody in the south gives her shit for it.

-she definitely had a relationship with kanna.

-when she lived in the fire nation, things were different. living as her authentic self was impossible—even secretly, it became near-impossible.

-hama's life is one big tragedy.

pakku

-straight. initially homophobic as per water tribe conservatism. the sort of, "just don't shove it in my face" homophobia

-but upon realising that like, both his friend group and his wife are incredibly queer, he gets over it

-iroh helps with educating him

-it's also canon that zuko gives the southern water tribe custody of hama after the war which i find incredibly sweet

-but since hama and kanna were... tight, I find myself incredibly entertained imagining possible interactions between pakku and hama

kanna (gran gran)

-kanna was bisexual.

-in the time she spent traveling from the north to the south she slept with a bunch of people

-fire nation pirates, sand bender bandits, earth kingdom soldiers... hakoda's father is a mystery. a mama mia situation.

-other flings include the herbalist, probably, (all old people know each other)

-even madame wu, why not?

-like it entertains me to think that kanna was unhinged the moment she left the Northern Water Tribe

-and being a non bender she used all tools at her disposal to reach the south if you know what i mean

-that being said, she also learned to fight a bit. probably. just to spite pakku.

-when she reached the south, she had a thing with hama. i say this because of the kataang parallel when hama was taken away.

hakoda and bato

-hakoda is bi, bato is gay

-hakoda loved kya, bato loved him secretly and never told him

-after kya died, bato was his only comfort, they fell in love

-once malina enters the situation too, it eventually ends up being a polycule

-note that i strongly dislike malina and those comics

@radioiaci | Unprompted & Christmas Gifts.

It was not Christmas yet, but if Alastor waited any longer, his anxiety was going to get the better of him. And this gift he had in mind wasn’t typical- nothing so surface level as to be brushed away and ignored. So he set aside the time; poured over the reference books to ensure that they were perfect.

And a few days prior to the actual holiday, Michael would receive a knock on the door to his room. But Alastor would not be there once he answered, a red basket instead left in his place.

Inside, Michael would find a small fruit arrangement, paired with some slightly blander samples of different types of bread. Nothing too extreme, flavor-wise. Next to that was nestled a small, wooden radio- formed and fashioned to resemble a classic-style birdhouse. He had not known if Michael would actually use it but… it was custom-made nonetheless, a few cartoony looking feather patterns carved into its sides.

Lastly, a small bouquet. Crafted with careful intent, even if he knew that not many spoke the language of flowers as he liked to do. Within, the pairing of blossoms was particular. Exact in their appearance to reflect the appropriate meaning.

The yellow petals of the black-eyed susan. The soft, fluffy blossom of white chrysanthemum, paired nicely with the similarly textured blue hydrangea. It maintains its presence with scented bits of spearmint in between; and nothing he offers would be complete without the addition of the flowers of the willow.

Together, the gift is placed into that basket carefully, alongside a small note, folded delicately into a golden envelope that, when opened and the contents inside unfolded, revealed his scrawl across some slightly more sturdy paper. Carefully written- like he was making an attempt at bettering his usual chicken scratch.

This does not equal all you have done for me. But maybe it is a start.

Happy Holiday.

A 🦌

ㅤThere are flowers outside his door. Michael isn't used to being given flowers. Though they were quite popular gifts in Heaven, pretty and elegant, they weren't really something that Michael was given. Despite that, he was actually quite familiar with flowers. Simply because flowers were something that attracted birds. So he had studied them, a bit extensively so he knew exactly what he wanted in his garden outside his office in Heaven. Flowers that would attract his favorite types of birds.

ㅤThat didn't mean he was fluent in their language, but he had a rather standard understanding. The things about flowers too was that depending on the culture, they had different meanings. Which meant there would need to be some liberty taken in guessing what they meant. The basket was picked up and Michael moved back into his room he didn't really live in, taking them over to his desk and setting them down. There were other things in the basket but he focused on the flowers at the moment, wanting to preserve them. He would freeze each one individually with magic to make sure that they never wilted.

ㅤMichael found a vase in the closet of the hotel and placed it down on the desk, adding a little bit of water to it for the aesthetic even though the frozen flowers won't need them. He then started to pick them up individually, picking out what each one was and what he knew of the meaning behind them. If he was home, in his office, he would have been able to pick up a book on them but he wasn't.

ㅤThe first flower in the basket were the bright yellow petals of the black-eyed Susan flower, which from what he knew symbolize encouragement, motivation, positivity, and resilience. They also, as he knew well, were fantastic flowers to attract the American Goldfinches which were big fans of black-eyed Susan seeds. When he grew them in Heaven they adorned his garden with their own gold and black colors as they perch on the stalks, picking out the tiny dark seeds.

ㅤThe other birds that are attracted to black-eyed Susan seeds were chickadees, Cardinals, White-breasted Nuthatches, and sparrows. Cardinals were beautiful birds that Michael loved a lot.

ㅤMichael froze the flowers and sat them down in the vase before reaching for the next flowers. White chrysanthemum, loyalty and honesty. The card he had found, signed by Alastor, made it quite clear why these specific flowers were in there. Honesty was a thing that had become quite important between them. But loyalty? He struggled with that one, settling in his stomach like a heavy weight. He wasn't sure, but maybe the meaning to that was looser than Alastor meant it. Chrysanthemums of all colors were a good flower to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, which are drawn to flowers that are rich in nectar. Hummingbirds were another favorite of his, beautiful tiny birds that looked so full of energy.

ㅤHe placed them down and picked up the next ones. Blue hydrangea which he remembered loosely had multiple meanings, but with the card he was given took a wild guess. Blue ones meant gratitude, patience, deep understanding, sincerity which from Alastor would make a bit more sense. Gratitude for what he did for him, patience for Michael in general and sincerity for everything they've done together. The understanding part left him a bit confused, unless he meant… the original question he first asked Alastor. That understanding for everything he had done, for the way that he was.

ㅤMichael shook the thoughts off quickly. Blue hydrangea were good for attracting blue birds, funny enough. The bluebirds and blue jays, which are drawn to the color blue, a very easy thing to remember. Michael, as blue was his favorite color, had those flowers in his garden too in order to attract those kinds of birds. They were so pretty in the early morning light.

ㅤThe flowers were sat with the others, frozen with his magic, and Michael gathered the last two things up. Willows often symbolize flexibility and adaptability, a meaning he couldn't quite understand why Alastor would include them. However, they were good flowers for attracting hummingbirds, yellow warblers and other bird species that like to line their nests with this soft fluff. Grouse and other birds eat the willow buds where beavers, elk, deer and moose browse on twigs and leaves.

ㅤThe last thing he found was Spearmint which as far as he knew didn't have a meaning but may help balance hormones, lower blood sugar , improve digestion, and can also reduce stress and improve memory. Spearmint attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, but it doesn't appear to attract birds. A curious thing to include but may not have been related to the meaning at all but rather just the scent which was rather good.

ㅤThe flowers are placed aside, frozen forever and something he can always look at. Michael then turned to the basket and took the rest of the things out. The bread and fruit would be snacked on while he did his paperwork and at the very bottom, he found the radio. Birdhouse shaped, brilliant and lovely, beautiful in every single aspect. Blue, gold and white, his favorite colors. He ran his fingers over it, played with the knobs on it and let the warm classical music flow from the birdhouse nicely.

ㅤFinished looking it over he happily placed it down near the flower and turned his attention over toward the gifts that he had wrapped for Alastor. The ones that he had picked out for him and worked hard on. Well, the Radio Demon might be to embarassed to give him his gifts in person, but Michael can do it himself.

ㅤPicking his gifts up he pulled his magic into himself and appeared in the Radio Demon's bedroom. No knocking this time, he was searching for him for a reason. And he found him, easily too, sitting in the bayou with the shadow playing again. He spared the brilliant creature a glance, the smile warm and soft on his face, and then quickly made his way toward Alastor. The gifts tucked under his arm he reached out for Alastor and took his hand, pulling him from the chair without shame.

ㅤ"Come here you silly demon."

ㅤLeading him back into the bedroom part he got Alastor to sit down on the bed and gathered up the gifts, placing them down in his lap to open. "They're not much, your birthday is around the corner I know, they're not as well thought out as what you gave me but I hope—I really hope you do like them." As promised the first one was that blanket he had said he would make. The one not as childish as the alligator one he had made before. No, this one was red and black, stitched carefully with an A worked into it for Alastor. He had even added tassels to the end, something he liked to play with when he had a blanket wrapped around him. Michael had made sure it was long and thick, something to wrap around him entirely when he wanted to be cuddled up with it or just laid across his bed.

ㅤThe other thing he had gotten was smaller, a little box, wrapped with sparkling red paper. This he had to go all the way up to Heaven to get and he hoped that Alastor was alright with it. All it was, was a simple radio key chain. Made it the shape of Alastor's radios he made. That cathedral like shape. The thing was, however, was it was made of Angelic Steel. He had thought, maybe silly like, that he could attach it to his Radio Cane, or maybe something else. It would never break, and he had enchanted it with a protection charm. Wherever he put it, Michael just needed it on him.

ㅤ"I have one other thing, but it's not exactly unwrapable." Turning in circle he made his way across the bedroom and over toward the piano, something that Alastor and him had played together at before. One of his favorite instruments and the Radio Demon's too. He removed his coat entirely, laid it across the table beside the piano and then took a seat at the bench. Waving his hand in the air he popped the sheet music into his grip and then placed it down on the piano.

ㅤWriting music wasn't something Michael did anymore. It took time, concentration, effort, things he didn't have. But he had taken his time with this, wanting it to be something that conveyed at least in part what he felt for Alastor. The way that he had with the flowers. Michael used to do that with music a lot more but now only really did it in private.

ㅤThe song didn't have a name, but when Michael sat down and write it he tried to think of what he felt when it came to Alastor. The emotions were always a tangled mess. Frustration and anger, initially. The way that he made things needlessly hard in taking care of him. The way the questions that he wanted to ask just couldn't get out the way he needed them to, that initial answer on Lucifer being frustrating to him.

ㅤBut then the more time they spent together it felt like a part of that bridge was restored, the gap being filled up as a more clear understanding of each other started to piece itself together. He saw Alastor and it felt like he saw him, in the way that Michael tried to keep from the rest of Heaven. That doubt at the way he did things but the reason he had to.

ㅤThen the crossing of the bridge, where they started to more easily fall into each other. The time spent together, the trip to Cannibal Town, the cooking in the kitchen, the laying in bed together, the being with each other.

ㅤThe piano.

ㅤHe held that memory the closest.

ㅤThe bits of affection they shared, the kissing and the words that tried to convey what they were feeling for each other. The reassurance that everything they did was done because they wanted it. There were still moments where Michael hesitated, where they had made things complicated for each other. The words they picked weren't always the most clear. For Alastor, it was when he set that boundary between what they could be in the bedroom and outside, for Michael it was when he never corrected articulated what he meant and what he was feeling.

ㅤThey stumbled, but they got back up, they fell into each other and once more and things became more clear again. So easy to fix what had started to fracture from the words they didn't get out in the way they wanted.

ㅤLike an elegant dance they were both still learning the steps to.

ㅤAnd that, when Michael played the piano, was what he tried to convey.

ㅤThe rise and fall of their relationship, the words that needed to be spoken but refuse to fall in the way he wanted them to, the moments where they were good with each other and everything just felt perfect. Ideal and meant to be, warming and happy. The moments that he got to spend with Alastor, no matter what they were doing, that was what he wanted to convey most through his playing.

ㅤThrough the song that he had happily written for him.

ㅤIt might not be perfect, music was always up to the listening, interpretation like with the flowers was something that varied from person to person. But the emotion in his playing was what he wanted to feel more than anything in this. He wanted Alastor to hold those gifts, to listen to what came out of the piano, and understand at least in part the emotions that were gathered in his heart.

ㅤMichael was long past the stage where he felt the word friend fit what they were anymore, though it felt more like they leaped right over that title anyway.

ㅤAlastor was just his in whatever way the other would allow him to be and in turn, Michael was willing to place his heart and his trust in the Radio Demon's hands and hope he remembered to watch his claws.

Bridgerton Recap- 1x4: 'An Affair Of Honor'

We open on a shot of a chandelier, panning down to a reception hall at the palace. Daphne and Lady Violet enter and nod at passersby. They are talking about her pretty loudly. How rude! Her little tiny curl bangs are back as Violet points out how opinionated all these assholes are and then gets distracted by food. She starts literally chowing down as Daphne tries to chastise her. Violet correctly points out that her daughter looks stressed.

A trumpety fanfare announced Charlotte and Frederick as they stride into the room together. Daphne and Violet walk right up to greet them. The Prince has a ornate necklace for her that he steps behind her to put on, but when the camera moves, it’s Simon who’s all up in her business. You can tell it’s a fantasy because he’s wearing a cravat.

Daphne has a mini freakout and turns to look at the Prince, who asks if she’s okay. She is and so is her new ownership collar necklace. Charlotte states that she will be a lovely princess. Daphne tries to remember how to breathe as we go to the title screen.

Where’s my sweeping theme music and guns coming out of the tree bark? I don’t think I’m asking too much here.

Dame Julie Andrews informs us in voice over that marrying above one’s station is an art form, but Daphne is on a whole nutha’ level. She flounces past little Gregory (yay!) playing with marbles near the grand staircase. Hyacinth (yay again!) trots after her, asking questions about crowns and castles learning German, and Daphne blows her off and shuts the door in her face. Dame Julie reminds us about how Simon may be down, but he’s not necessarily out as Daphne stares at herself in the vanity mirror. She looks kinda nauseated as she touches her giant, gaudy necklace.

The scene cuts over to Simon, who is half-naked and shirtless, going ham on a punching bag. Will and his hottie wife enter, with Will taking a dig at Simon for pretending the bag is a Prussian Prince with Perfect Hair. Simon tells Will that he’s so funny he forgot to laugh, and then adds that his greatest admirer will not be around for the afternoon bout. Will notes that Alice will be there, which she smiles at. Guys, I love these two. Such a healthy, loving relationship.

Simon says he’s leaving town, as his business is concluded. Will and Alice point out that they need Simon to come to the fight to attract other people that will then bet on Will. Simon gets all ‘woe is me’ and Mrs Mondrich asks her husband to beat the piss out of the Duke. Hee. Will begs Simon to come to the match and Alice correctly guesses that he doesn’t want to see Daphne and the Prince there. Simon reminds them of his presence in the room while they’re talking shit. Simon starts in on ‘I’m not down bad, even if Dame Julie says I am’, and Alice cuts him off to tell him there are children back at home, and the children have got to be fed. She tells him he should help them out with money, and then when Will gives her a look, she says ‘you don’t love me for my subtlety’. Hee!

Over at Feather-House, a dude with terrible wiry mutton chops is inspecting Marina as Portia stands by and the Feather-Baron reads the newspaper on Pen’s settee. Portia is touting Miss Thompson’s accomplishments. She sings! She does needlework! Also makes julienne fries! Mutton Chops asks to see her teeth, and he’s not good at reading social cues, because she looks ready to tear him apart, and not in a sexy way. He asks Portia if she’s an idiot, and she laughs and calls him ‘droll’ , which means ‘dryly amusing’ and not ‘let me rearrange your teeth with my fist’, which is how it sounded when she said it. She tells Marina to smile and the young woman bares her teeth. I half-expect her to straight up growl at him. Mutton Chops says you can tell alot about someone from their mouth and then taps at his own stolen war teeth. That was a fucking weird sentence, you guys.

Mutton Chops wants to take her on a test drive, like she’s a pre-owned Mazda. Portia mentions they’ll be at tonight’s ball, so he can kick her tires there. He waddles out. Marina barely waits until he’s out of frame before she turns on Feather-Lady and they start aguing. Portia tries to get her husband to back her up, but he’s even less involved as a husband and father than Mr. Bennett, and he could not care less about any of this. Marina says she’s being courted, so she is not going to marry an old gross dude. Portia cuts her off and says no one is dumb enough to not figure out that she is going to have a healthy baby in six months. Oh, show. You little tease. Mutton Chops wants an heir, and he can’t do math. He’s perfect! Marina stomps out past Prudence and Phillipa and then up the stairs past Pen, who tries to talk to her. Man, Penelope really seems to just get shit on. Portia asks the Feather-Baron why they can’t send Marina off to a farm, which I again hope doesn’t mean euthanasia, but you never know with her. He says it’s not up for discussion. His coat is very purple.

And then we have the introduction to my absolute favorite character on this whole show. A footman comes in and announces a gentleman caller, and in walks Albion Finch, or as he’s lovingly titled in the splashhome, Cheese Man. Finch immediately sneezes. Portia gives him a withering look before telling him that Marina is not available for oil changes and tire rotation. Nope, he’s not interested in her. He’s here for Pippa! Everyone exchanges befuddled looks and then she rises to take his daisies. Aw.

Eloise and Pen are shopping at one of those outdoor craft fair looking things with the individual booths. El can’t understand why someone would want to wear feathers in their hair. Dude, learn your audience. Pen for once is not wearing a feather in her hair, so at least there’s that. Also, anyone wearing that strange double headband with ribbons shouldn’t be judging others probably. Pen asks why they are looking at feathers then, and El says she can’t be in her house because everyone loves Daphne. Pen tries to say that El will be excited for the engagement, but Eloise rolls right over her, talking about how she’s the next one up for sale.

She then segues into talking about Lady Whistledown, how she’s brilliant and rich and doesn’t spend her life on the edge of a ballroom. They should try to meet her. Pen says she has no time to help her uncover such a mystery and Eloise suggests that Penelope say she is sick with whatever Marina had. Ha! And then after all that, El buys a giant flippin’ feather anyway.

We are over at The Battle of Mondrich. Anthony escorts Daphne in. This kinda seems like something he wouldn’t think she should attend. Oh, Daphne agrees and says Bridger-Mum would be pretty pissed if she knew Daphne was there. Anthony points out the Prince and leaves her to it. The Prince says he’s surprised she showed, because ladies and the sensitivities, amirite? Daphne easily volleys back that he must not have sisters, because bitches be crazy. She turns then and sees Simon and gets very distracted very quickly.

The camera does a weird zoomy thing and we are around the ring. Simon, Will, Benedict, Colin, and Feather-Baron are all there. This is a weird group. I guess the theme is ‘easy marks’? There’s a little back and forth about how Simon is a pupil and then Will suggests Simon tell the other men why they should put money on Will today. Oh, but Simon has caught sight of Daphne and gone catatonic. After another nudge, Simon agrees that Will is the one to beat. Feather-Baron announces he’s bet on the other guy, who is ‘the Prince’s man’. I guess the Bridger-Bros are just there to have good hair, which, to be fair, they both do.

And then they’re fighting. The Prince assures Daphne his guy is tough as Simon screams from across the ring and takes his coat off. Daphne goes into a trance as she stares at his forearms, lusting pretty openly in all honesty. Shaking herself out of a horny stupor, she asks the Prince if he misses Prussia. He says he went to school in England and thinks it’s where he would want to raise a family. But… but he’s Prince of another country. Is that even allowed? He asks if she likes her family. Uh, duh. He says he would love for his children to have lots of cousins nearby, if that was okay with his wife. Dude, maybe take it down like half a notch. Daphne looks mildly ill. We cut over to Simon, who is watching her laugh with the Prince. They catch each other’s eye.

Back in the ring, Will is wailing on someone I’m assuming is subtly named Seamus O’ Flannigan or something based on the super Irish music they’re putting over the top of this. Everyone stands and starts screaming. Will pummels the other guy into the floor. Archie is mad. Strangely, Anthony and Colin are clapping, but Ben looks kind put out. Did he bet on the leprechaun? Simon continues to watch Daphne. Why don’t you just pull out your big butterfly net and trap her, dude?

Afterward, we are at I think a gentleman’s club, where Feather-Baron is attempting to talk down the angry mob that wants their money from him. Get back to him in two days time. And they’re cool with that I guess? Weird. Benedict is sitting at a table and gets called to by Mr. Granville, the artist who he accidentally said sucked. Benedict tries to apologize, but Granville says he enjoyed the stinging words. They start snarking on paintings that are hung in whatever library space they’re in. Granville asks where Ben’s work is and Benedict stutters adorably before he’s told to come by Granville’s studio. His ‘real work’ is there, and he thinks Ben will find it less ‘cold and lacking inner life’. Ben has the grace to look ashamed even while sporting at least a semi.

And now we slide over to a table where Simon is sitting. Anthony joins him, saying he heard the Duke was leaving town. Anthony gets close to an apology by saying Simon was acting honorably with Daphne and she’s bagged herself a prince now and all’s well that ends well and not to let the door hit him where the good lord split him and someday they can laugh about all of this silliness. The Prince comes over and asks to speak to the Viscount in private as Simon glowers and downs his drink.

Over in the Bridger-Home, Hyacinth walks past what looks like a giant jello mold as Gregory and Colin spar in the background. Guys, they are so cute. Benedict is lounging in the chair with his legs slung over one of the arms like he’s seven. Violet is attempting to scold Daphne over going to the boxing match as the latter plays piano. Lady Bridgerton’s breasts looks like they’re trying to climb out of her dress in this scene. Hy asks if the Prince was there and Daphne says he was and then she asks about the Duke and both Daphne and Violet short circuit at the mention of him. Daphne didn’t notice if he was there. Oh, El is here too I guess. She’s watching Mrs. Wilson out in the hallway and scribbling away in a book. Hyacinth skips over and asks what Eloise is writing. El says she’s telling Fran what a busybody Hy is. She might be a busybody, but she’s the only one who moved the plot forward in this entire scene so far.

Anthony comes in and Violet is immediately asking him if he took his sister to a boxing match. He shuts her down by stating that the Prince is going to propose. Daphne is started that it is happening so fast. Anthony says she will have his support no matter what she chooses. I think that statement will age very well indeed. Violet can see through her daughter immediately and tells a visibly shaken Daphne that she doesn’t need to decide now.

The scene morphs into the night of the ball. Daphne is sat at her vanity, touching La Coeur de la Mer her necklace from the Prince. Violet comes in and asks Daphne if she likes it. Daphne hedges that it’s beautiful and Violet raises her voice to ask again if she likes it. Daphne asks Violet to just say what she wants to say, and Mommy Bridgerton points out that if she hasn’t made up her mind, she maybe shouldn’t wear that necklace tonight, because what about the Duke? Daphne doesn’t care about that stupid Duke, and anyway he’s leaving. Violet says she knows they had something, and Daphne finally snaps at her and tells her about the entire ruse. She says Violet should be proud, she has a Prince now! Violet says she doesn’t care about rank, she wants her to have love. Daphne yells at her that it was not real. She doesn’t have to pretend anymore. Oh, you guys. She’s so sad. She apologizes to Violet and then says it’s a pretty necklace. Her mummy hugs her.

Over at Hastings House, Lady Danbury is telling Simon she isn’t going to kiss his ass and tell him she will miss him. He says he will miss her too. Hee. She asks where he is going, but surmises that it doesn’t really matter, as he’s going to run away and continue to take his life for granted. She’s not mad, she’s disappointed. Oh, that’s so much worse. He let Daphne go. She I think is explaining to him how babies are born here, but saying love allows society to move forward and King George marrying Charlotte changed everything for them. Love conquers all. He disagrees, but he seems pretty pained about it. Or gassy. He tells her his ship departs at 9:30 tonight. Ooh, how dramatic.

Dame Julie is outside another ball, talking about how much so loves when these people get messy. Same, girl. She calls out Widow Trowbridge, who is wearing a giant effin butterfly on her head. The scene is like if the party in ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ was dropped into the middle of ‘Amadeus’, and I’m here for it. Dame Julie voice overs that she hopes the debs can keep it in their pants tonight.

The Featheringtons arrive and Portia immediately spots Mutton Chops and offers to pre-qualify him and throw in undercoating. I just noticed all the girls but Pen are wearing tiaras. Portia lies that Marina has been looking forward to chatting with him and he says he doesn’t want her to talk, he wants to see her spin. Ew. He leads her away.

Before we have time to really feel bad for her, Finch is there, sneezing loudly. He compliments Phillipa’s dress, comparing the color to a cheese that Portia served at tea. He loves cheese. So does she! So do I! She prefers a Stilton to a cheddar. Oh dang, that is controversial, Pip! Pen giggles at their interaction, while Prudence looks on blankly. Portia notes that there might be two weddings this season. Archie doubts that.

The music sounds like a circus, and the dancing looks like that one that Captain Von Trapp does with Maria where they put their arms up over their heads. And here comes Cressida, to ruin things, because that’s how she rolls. Cressida calls her out for stealing her perfect, blonde prince, and calls Daphne her enemy. Daphne points out that the Prince made his choice. She sees Frederick and crosses the room to flirt with him. While he’s signing her dance card, Cressida walks by and gives her the stink eye. Violet sees all this and starts drinking. Good girl.

Over at Hastings House, Simon is glowering and striding about. He stops and sees the painting he talked about with Daphne and then asks why it is there. His footman knocks him on the head and says ‘think, McDuke, thing!’. Simon apparently asked for it tome come back, which was a pain and a half. We flash back to a blue-toned shot of he and Daphne touching fingers in front of that painting, like it wasn’t just the last episode. Thanks, show. Otherwise, I would have no idea why he wanted that painting back. Simon is so sad. I kinda wish Lady Danbury was here to hit him with her cane again.

Benedict toddles down a dark street, looking for an address. When he knocks on a door, it opens to reveal Granville, sans coat and drinking a glass of something boozy. He invites him in, and they walk down a hall lit with several giant candlelabras, like he’s the Phantom of the Ton, and into a room full of nude female models. Benedict says this isn’t what he was expecting. He walks past a dude with a giant mustache and a soul patch talking to a lady with a pixie cut. Wow, all of society’s hair outcasts in one room. Benedict kind of just stares at them until Granville reminds him he’s supposed to be there for him to see his real work. Benedict stares at the boobs and says he’s jealous. ‘Is this your life?’ he asks, and I hate to get all Eloise on him here, but it very easily could be his as well, because he is a man, and men get to make all the rules. They say jump, and we do. They take away our right to choose how to use our bodies, but still expect support in all their decisions. And then they don’t even show support when we fly to the Maldives and sleep on the floor and dance for what must be a bunch of drug lords, because what was that whole mess?!

…..I appear to have lost my train of thought for a second there. My bad. Anyway, Granville points out the second sons get to do whatever they want, which duh. He tells Ben to go have fun, and he goes over to an empty easel. The woman next to him offers a drag of her cigarette, but I can’t really tell if we are supposed to think it’s something other than tobacco. He stares at the naked ladies for a moment.

And then we are over to Sienna, who is singing at the Amadeus Wide Shut party. Anthony notices her and looks murderous. Or horny. They’re usually hand in hand with him I think. Violet notices and suddenly has a girl with an unfortunate neckercheif ready to introduce to him. He all but blows them off and continues to glower at Sienna. Violet continues to drink.

Elsewhere, Portia is congratulating Lady Trowbridge on her ‘striking taste’. And coming from her, that’s quite the…compliment? Ha! I unpaused after finishing writing that and Lady Trowbridge says the same thing! Phillipa and Prudence trot over and Pippa is crying. Portia asks why she isn’t dancing with her Cheese Man and Philipa pulls her away from the group. Prudence calls her a drama queen. Pip says that the Cheese Man talked to the Feather-Baron and now he won’t look at her. ‘I loved him’ she sobs. Me too.

Portia spots her husband across the room, but I’m momentarily distracted by the man painted teal behind him playing the flute. This party is amazing, you guys. I think this will be the theme for my next birthday. This makes the strange bird party look boring. Anyway, Portia asks what he is doing, because Finch may not be all that (hard disagree), but Phillipa isn’t going to do better. Archie says they can just wait until next season then, as if he didn’t just crack bottles of cider over their noses a few weeks ago. He tells her not to embarrass him further and stomps off. Portia just blinks at his slight showing of a backbone for a second there.

Over at Bridger-Home, Eloise is in the servant’s quarters and finds a hat box under a bed. She opens it to find a giant stack of Lady Whistledown papers. How…is that evidence? Whatever, I’ll let Mrs. Wilson do the heavy lifting in this scene. For here she is, asking what El is snooping for. El lies that Violet asked her to grab the latest copy of Whistledown to ‘count how many times’ Daphne and the Prince were mentioned. Mrs. Wilson says the Violet is at the strange sex party with the rest of her kids and doesn’t really like the Prince. El asks her why she has all those Whistledowns and Mrs. Wilson pushes back and asks why she should explain herself. El tries to play the ‘But I’m a Bridgerton’ card, but Mrs. Wilson counters with the ‘I wiped your ass, child!’ play, then asks El again why she is in her room. El says she thinks Mrs. Wilson is Lady Whistledown! Victory! She’s so righteous! There will be parades held in her honor and-

Mrs. Wilson starts laughing hysterically at that, and then clarifies that El is ‘meant to be the smart one’. Hee! She points out that they work constantly, she doesn’t have time to write or have fun in any way. And then she says she would not be working for them if she had Whistledown money, and I think this is the first time it’s been suggesting that this endeavor is actually probably making a lot of money. She giggles a bit more before hitting Eloise with a deadpan expression- ‘Get out.’ That scene was amazing.

Extreme closeup of women dancing, all of them wearing black chokers. Interesting. Oh, here’s Pen in her yellow, trying to nod encouragingly to Marina, who is in the middle of her test drive. And then there’s Colin over her left shoulder, like a pampadoured poltergeist. He says their host looks fussy and we see a shot of the ginger baby that is ‘hosting’ this ball, which makes it even weirder, you guys. Anyway, Pen’s breath catches at his proximity, for he is all up in her bubble. He asks Pen ‘Do you think if he goes to bed, we all have to leave?’, to which she giggles demurely. He goes on to say that it is lucky Lady Trowbridge got knocked up before her late husband, the Earl ‘croaked’. ‘Lucky indeed,’ she flirts back, and then points out that the baby looks like the ginger footman who is standing near the Lady in questions. Colin has the grace to look shocked. ‘What a barb,’ he says, and he might actually just be referring to his own erection here, because the way they are staring at each other is a lot. You can tell the moment she remembers herself and where they are and then she looks away. He recovers quickly and wants to talk about Marina now. Is she really going out with [Mutton Chops]? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Penelope says that Marina just wants to be rescued. The Colinbot 1813 stirs upon hearing his ‘wake’ word and is off to save that used Mazda from a guy who won’t get her detailed on a regular basis.

Marina’s dance with Mutton Chops ends and he asks for another, which she quickly calls ‘improper’. He’s not interesting in her virtue though. There are other things a man looks for in a wife. Oh, ew. Thankfully, here comes The Colinbot, swooping in to ask her to dance. He asks if she’s feeling better. You know, since she’s been so sick. He makes a joke about Mutton Chops that she doesn’t get at first. Congratulations Marina, you’re dumber than Colin.

They start dancing crazy, and spin past Daphne and the Prince. He notes that they seem to be having fun, and Daphne says Colin knows how to make things memorable. Are you sure? Because we haven’t seen him in like an episode and a half. The Prince sees his opening. Oh no, is he proposing on the dance floor like a weirdo? She spins aggressively away from him to partner with someone else. When she gets back to him, he continues his long drawn out explanation. She sees Simon in the crowd and gasps and then spins away again. Guys, she is having a full-on panic attack in the middle of this Cirque Du So-Sexy party.

He finally gets to the point, and just as he’s going to ask her, she says she needs a moment to get some fresh air and books it away. Prudence swoops in to ask if she’s engaged, and then a day player gets a line about the Prince having a brother and then she’s bumping into Cressida. ‘Do watch where you’re flying, angel’, she says acidly. She’s a very good villian.

Daphne is outside now, gasping and panicking. She tears off her necklace and contemplates throwing herself off the back of the ship. Suddenly, Simon is there in his red velvet jacket with the slutty, open collar. Can he paint her like one of his French girls? Oh no, wait. She just wants to know what he’s doing there. Me too, after he so dramatically told everyone he was leaving. He came to say goodbye. She calls his goodbye unneccesary, as they are not friends. He apologizes for saying that. She’s very agitated here, shifting her weight back and forth. She is tired of being led on by him and she doesn’t care if he’s sorry or if he leaves. Daphne proclaims she is going to live happily ever after with the Prince. Simon questions if she will be happy. She counters that he is kind and knows what he wants. Ouch. Simon asks if he’s the right man for her. She goes on a whole diatribe about how she doesn’t question his choice to whore up and down Europe, ending with a foot-stomping declaration of ‘I am going to be a Princess!’. Hee. She tells him to leave, but he just stares at her. She turns and flees into the hedge maze, with him at her heels.

They argue back and forth about her safety until he finally calls her by her first name and grabs her arm. When she turns around to look at him, he plants one on her. After a second, she pulls away with a gasp and he apologizes. Daphne stares at him and then pulls him into another kiss. This time he just goes for it and he’s definitely trying to get under her dress but also groping her breasts and they are getting pretty into it. I find it kind of…lacking (please don’t throw garbage at me)?

Anthony happens upon them moaning and writhing and immediately attacks Simon. He gets in a few good punches before announcing he is going to marry Daphne. She’s mortified, until Simon says he can’t, and then she’s clearly heartbroken. Anthony calls him a villian. Duh, did you not see his red velvet jacket? Well, if he’s not going to marry Daphne to save her virtue ( I think?), then they must shoot at each other. She tries to say they really shouldn’t duel, but Ant’s mind is made up, as Simon dishonors her and him and the family and neckties. Simon agrees to it. Daphne doesn’t understand. ‘You would rather die than marry me?’ she asks. Yeah, that one probably stings a bit. He just apologizes to her.

Anthony pulls her back to the party, where everyone is doing a slow motion dance that looks like ‘The Farmer and the Cowman’. Very yee-haw. The camera catches Cressida watching Daphne. Violet is trashed and chatting with a pretty amused-looking Colin. Anthony approaches Colin and says Daphne has a headache and he’s taking her home. Colin, to his credit, looks over at Daphne and can pretty much instantly tell something is wrong.

What he lacks in book smarts he makes up for in sibling intuition at least. Cressida pops up to point out the Daphne looks ill, did she catch a chill in the garden? Dun dun dun! Oh wait, they don’t pick up on that yet. Well, remember for later that I said dun dun dun.

We are back at Totally Nude Nudes with Benedict. Granville tries to give him a mild compliment and Ben spazzes out completely. He can be himself there and not get judged, and he’s welcome back anytime. For any reason. If you get my drift. Are those ladies just perpetually naked in that room? They just left them there.

Across town, Portia is snooping through Archie’s desk as Varley stands by with a candelabra like the good henchwoman she is. She’s not sure what she is looking for though.

Upstairs, Marina is waxing poetic on the Colinbot, saying he’s a surprisingly accomplished dancer. Maybe he has cheat codes? Pen is already in a full-on pout in this scene. Her rack looks amazing. Marina points out how he is with Greg and Hy, saying he will be a wonderful father. Pen chuckles awkwardly and says he’s a ‘tad young’ to marry. Nope, he’s perfect. Did you see the way he rescued her? Pen does a good job of not wringing this girl’s neck, which is what I would do. Colin doesn’t play games and guard his affections. He is eager. Oh, yuck. Pen’s response to this is to literally just climb into bed and pull the covers over her. Subtle.

But apparently it is, because Marina doesn’t really take the hint, instead flopping down onto the bed to talk about how great it will be for her to stay in town and it will be they’re sisters with Eloise. Pen is literally vibrating with rage. As soon as Marina leaves, she gets up and starts pacing. Someone is throwing rocks at her window. It’s El, who is beckoning her downstairs.

‘I have a theory!’ she greets, and Pen does a good job of not wringing this girl’s neck, which is what I would do. Pen is trying to tell her that it’s late and they should talk tomorrow, but in classic Eloise Bridgerton fashion, she’s just talking right over the top of Penelope. It’s not a servant, it’s someone who is invited to parties, someone who is free in society. It’s a widow! Pen finally screams that she doesn’t care. Some people have real problems. Her accent is slipping a bit here, and it’s pretty adorable. El gets sarcastic and asks if Pen is sooo mature now, and she rightly says she’s of age and in society and needs to be worried about marriage. El scoffs and says that Pen doesn’t care about that and Pen snaps at El that maybe she does, and she knows El doesn’t get it- ‘Not everyone can be a pretty Bridgerton!’ El stomps off.

Anthony and Daphne are arriving back at home. Ant says he’s not angry with her, and she says she was half to blame for her garden canoodle. He apologizes and says he knew who Simon was and he should have welded her into some iron pantaloons once he rode into town. He tries to order her to bed, but she says Anthony cannot duel the Duke. Anthony tries to say that this is how things are done. Daphne says she can live with her own disgrace, but can’t live with the guilt of Simon dying. Anthony points out it’s the entire family’s honor they are talking about. Daphne yells that it’s madness just as Benedict ambles in. He grabs Benedict to fill him in and once again orders Daphne to bed. She tries to follow, but he shuts the door, and I guess her fingers don’t work. Curses! Foiled again!

Inside his study, Anthony is telling Benedict he needs to act as his second. Everything I know about duels I learned from ‘Hamilton’, you guys. This so far doesn’t have nearly the amount of popping and locking. Ben asks what happens if Ant dies. The title and estates pass to Ben. Aw, but he just learned about drawing naked ladies, Anthony! What if he kills Simon? Then Anthony has to flee and Ben is still in charge. Looks like Benedict is getting the fuzzy end of that lollipop either way. They hear chuckling in the hallway and go to investigate.

I’m not going to lie, this is my favorite moment in all of season one. I love it way too much. Colin is helping a completely sloshed Violet up the stairs, sarcastically saying she’s clearly sober. She puts a hand on his shoulder and calls him impertinent. She touches his cheek and then starts hobbling up the steps. He watches her cutely before turning to look at his brothers lurking in the doorway of the study. ‘Good god, did someone die?’ Hee!

Will comes down the stairs at his home to the sounds of a raccoon rifling through his shit. Oh no, wait. It’s just Simon, who needs a drink. This set is very set-tey looking for some reason. Maybe it’s my new television. He tells Will he’s dueling Anthony Bridgerton at dawn. Will asks how ‘insulted’ she was. Is he the smartest character on this show? Maybe him and Varley. Will says he’s going to get plowed if he is going to be a second. The subtitles tell me the music is tense.

Over with Anthony in his study, he’s drinking and looking at daddy’s pocket watch. He gets up and goes to see Sienna. Oh, the subtitles also tell me I’ve been putting one two many Ns in her name. He says he knows that they can not be together in the ton, but what if they run away together. He’s dueling, and he will be free of society. He has crazy eyes here. He apologizes and starts to leave, but she grabs him and he tries to eat her face then. The finally shut the door before he gets it in. At least I think.

Feather-Baron comes into his study in the dark, and is startled by Portia. She found his ledgers. He’s a shitty gambler, but at least he keeps good notes. He lost their daughters’ dowries, which is why the Cheese Man was sent away. Ooh, she is so good. I love Polly Walker. Archie starts crying without tears and declares that he failed her and their daughters. No shit. He doesn’t know what to do. He hugs her and she looks bewildered.

Over at Sienna’s, Anthony is putting his boots on. He kisses her forehead and leaves her.

And then it’s a horse-riding montage! Hooves! Gravel! Simon still isn’t wearing a cravat, but now neither is Anthony. Daphne is pacing in her bedroom in her nightgown before finally rushing down the stairs to the study. Colin is in there drinking. I think everyone on this show is a lush, you guys. Has he not been to bed? His hair still looks flawless. She demands to know where the stupid men on their horses have gone. He asks why he would tell her, and she says so she can stop it, duh. Colin basically says they will both fire wide, which is the honorable thing to do. He looks about 15 years old in this scene. She groans that she hears all the time to ‘leave the men to their business’. She says they’re both too dumb to yield at this point, and Colin did not see their energy in that garden. Colin said it’s good that no one else saw them. And then we get the washed out flashback to Cressida asking about getting a chill in the garden. She immediately tells him what she remembers and demands to know where they are. I guess I don’t really get how her knowing changes much of anything about this duel?

Misty fields! Galloping! Oh, sorry, this is not as energetic as it was before. Anthony and Benedict approach a man with a ridiculous wig. Anthony greets him as ‘doctor’ and the doctor tells him to try not to die. Benedict asks where Anthony should aim and the doc basically says he’s an idiot if he thinks he can aim that well. Ben looks a bit concerned.

And here come Simon and Will! Racing through the woods, their steeds alight with the- oh, nevermind. They’re just kind of there too. I guess I’m going to be ready for all the horse-based action in season two. He tells Ben he has another instruction, which is to make sure Sienna is provided for. He has her name written on a piece of paper in his top drawer. That seems safe. Idiot. Benedict swears to take care of her. He gives Ben Edmund’s pocket watch. They are doing a somewhat admirable job of making us think that one of the leads of this show could die in the fourth episode. I mean, kind of.

Yay! Horses! Galloping fast! Daphne and Colin are now racing to the duel as well. Close up horse-riding shots always look really fake to me on this show. I don’t know if they are, but they definitely always look like it. Hee- Colin’s hair isn’t even slightly moving in the breeze.

Over at the Dueling Field, Will and Benedict inspect the pistols. Simon says he’s sorry, but Anthony blows him off. They each take a gun and stand back to back. One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine! It’s the Te- sorry, I went into a Miranda Trance again. Daphne and Colin are still riding their horses very fast. The boys start pacing and then turn to face each other. Simon immediately points his pistol at the sky, but Anthony is pointing his at Simon. What an asshole.

And then he shoots, just as Daphne rides in on her white horse to save the day. The horse startles and she falls to the ground and Simon calls out for her and it’s all very dramatic. Everyone rushes toward her and then there in the background Colin is finally arriving. How much faster than you is she, dude? Anthony and Simon are on the ground when she rolls over and sits up. Simon asks if she’s hurt, and she says she’s fine, and calls them both idiots. Word. Anthony asks what she is playing at, and she accuses him of shooting at her. ‘You just rode into the middle of a duel!’ he yells. Yeah, and it was pretty badass. She needs to talk to the Duke.

Daphne leads him away. Simon says his mind isn’t changed and she tells him they were seen. Cressida saw them. She will ruin Daphne. Oh, I get it now. Simon is unmoved. She asks why he thinks so little of her, and he argues that he can’t marry her because he likes her so much. ‘I know you do not love me, but I never thought you could despise me so’. He says if they get hitched, ‘I can never give you children’. He tells her she deserves whatever her heart desires, so he needs to get back to letting her big brother murder him in broad daylight now, as men do. Anthony cuts in that they need to do this before someone sees them. I don’t know what he’s talking about. Isn’t it normal to be standing around in a field in a three piece suit at six in the morning? These dorks.

But Daphne announces there is no need, because ‘the Duke and I are to be married’.

These are my best friends. I still have my most bff, my sis, the OG, Aliesha. She’s the queen bff.

But these two here are my homies. We have had a lot of adventures with music and I hope we have so many more. This pic was in the Bahamas on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on.

This was a day during the Melissa Etheridge cruise 2021. I didn’t know it but a few months later I’d be fighting for my life after taking the required v a € € ne. That’s a whole nutha post. I’m glad I’m still here.

Hi! I’ve been reading your avatar Katara fic recently (which I’m loving) and wanted to ask you about the character Niyok. Niyok featured in only I think two comics canon wise, how did decide on her personality? What draws you to character? What do you like about her? What’s your opinion on her sister Nutha?

I'm glad that you've been enjoying my Avatar Katara fic! It's one of my favorites.

I decided on Niyok's character just from the littlest bit we got from her in the comics. To me, she had always read as this sweet person compared to her sister who seemed a bit more serious and outspoken. I don't know if it's canon, but I always assumed Niyok was the younger sister. So my headcanon had always been that Nutha had always been the more dominant and assertive sister and Niyok was more sweet and shy.

I was so drawn to her because I tend to latch toward minor characters. I don't know why but even if their characters like Niyok, who make very brief appearances, I am drawn to them.

Funnily enough for my Avatar Katara story, Niyok actually was not going to be a member of Team Avatar. Originally only Sokka and Katara were going to depart from the Southern Water Tribe but I got this amazing idea for Niyok and had to change the whole beginning of the story around the last minute!

For Nutha I like her too. I always imagine her as a stern, no-nonsense character but still kind, just someone who has a lot on her shoulders and a lot of responsibility which makes her a bit more uptight. I love characters like that, a good grounding presence to the kind of chaos that pops off in a story like Avatar.

Thank you for reading my story! I know it's been on an extended hiatus but I do plan on coming back to it soon.

Films, Films, (TV), Films: Next Batch

Now been looking after my folks for a year & a half, so movies are one of the main things I can do...sometimes. Some of the TV & docs might be missing &, as ever, if I haven't said so, it is a first watch, as I don't rewatch that many things. I probably said before, but if I don't click with something, I just move on, so these are all good in my eyes).

Reading the last blurb, I feel the urge to mention that Cully's World in Blackpool is currently 8 DVDs for a fiver, but that I hear they are shutting again soon, so go scoop stuff up.

Also, Plex gets The Gasface for making such a hash of dropping he Facebook log-in that I ended up accidentally nixing my account, with all its bookmarks and ratings, and Tubi gets a tentative thumbs-up for being a decent replacement.

So, April 2024 onwards...

Best In Show (rewatch, but I reckon I only half-watched it the first time - very funny, prob the best one by them next to Spinal Tap, I guess)

Playtime (Ebert said something like you have to watch it once in order to get ready to watch it, which makes sense to me - all the comparisons to extremely funny silent comedians seem a bit over the top being as Tati barely raises a chuckle, but it IS, of course, extremely well laid-out and choreographed. I look forward to going again in the not-too-distant future)

Sightseers (I'm not quite so rhapsodic about this as some people, but great fun, v British)

Pictures of the Old World + extra shorts (good, atmospheric)

Scoop (not bad, none of these things hit the mark quite as much as the OG interview)

The Whistle Blower (Caine, solid enough)

Streetwise (1984 doc - I am a sucker for these type of things, but very good, well worth seeing)

Extras (glad I've seen it. Not quite as totemic as The Office, but entertaining throughout)

Ice Grill (a So Bad It's Good one I actually located all by myself. 'Urban', near-impenetrable plot, appalling cheap CGI, but half-decent music by a hip-hop semi-name, equalling quite mood piece in a way)

Nathalie (saucy!)

American Gangster (very good stuff)

Bronson (didn't really twig what sort of film this was first, and was impressed)

Anchorman 2 (I was a bit mean about the first one last time - the whole set-up is pretty funny really, and the nitpicking in the reviews bounce off if you like Will Ferrell, & at this point I have to accept that I LOVE Will Ferrell)

The Kingdom (I kinda just watched this cos I'd got it, but there were plenty plenty more in that pile that I didn't, so I would say tis was pretty good all told)

Eddie Murphy: Delirious

Talladega Nights (I'd been avoiding the Ferrell American sports & politics ones cos...impenetrable...but of course, it isn't in his hands. A very good one if you like him)

The Sinner season 3 (with the missus)

Two Ronnies best-of DVD

Some Mothers Do Ave Em (series 1&2? Picked up some DVDs. Possibly no other fictional character closer to my own)

The Black Panther (I started this ages before and the bit where it went a bit dreamy in the middle sort of jumped the shark for me & I switched it off, but glad I went back to it, as it is a Brit classic really, I guess)

Jour De Fete (I might actually prefer this to Playtime, it is certainly more LOL, & a very entertaining watch)

Elgar (the classic doc, intellectual chore)

Analyze That (extremely close readers might remember I started watching the first one, realised I had seen it before, continued & still liked it, so thought this was worth a go. Obvs cash-in, but I enjoyed it)

A bunch of Alan Bennett TV plays, the one which stayed with me the most being the one about the old Leeds couple moving to Morecambe in retirement...Bleak!)

Wings of Hope (I had forgotten all about this, but it does stand well with other Herzog docs)

Red Road (I started this about three times, partly due to the print quality I could find, but very good I thought, reviews a bit overly picky)

Wake Up Ron Burgundy (that extras-make-a whole-'nutha-film thing - final proof I must have enjoyed the saga overall)

Miss Marie Lloyd (saw a bit of this on telly years ago & was looking forward to it. The Eastenders lass will hold a place in my heart forever for it - a good representation of music hall, one of my favourite music genres)

Zoolander (rewatch - another I think I only half-watched the first time, pretty funny)

True Detective season 1 (with the missus)

An old Cock ESP tour DVD

Common Ground (little local fen historical thing I found in a book swap phonebooth - considering its origins, pretty good/odd, I think)

Hatton Garden (good cast, good stuff)

Drop Dead Gorgeous (really really enjoyed this. Hadn't been aware of it before. Shall watch again)

Solondz season...Welcome To the Dollhouse (rewatch)

Happiness (rewatch)

break for...Le Diner De Cons (had been totally unaware of this - I'm not majorly into French film overall, but I do love their comedies)

Storytelling (rewatch)

Palindromes (rewatch)

Mesa of Lost Women (infamously cut into other appallingly bad films- realised I had it on a triple-bill DVD & thought I should watch it. Dozed in & out of it, which kinda added to the trippy effect. I liked it)

Rocky 2

Rocky 3 (stopped after that, but I was still rooting for him)

Baby Reindeer (yeah, def worth seeing)

Dawn of the Dead (rewatch - I trust I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, with all these second viewings, v unlike me)

The Phone Box (seemingly famous TV short I hadn't known about til recently. Pretty balls-out)

Land of the Lost (obvs purely Ferrell trying to cross into the children's market, but I kinda enjoyed it)

Viridiana (from the ridiculous [above] to the sublime to the ridiculous? Total classic obvs)

David (Ferrell short)

Knights Electric (short off the free bit of the BFI site, & something to do with those people who made the early 80s horror with the children's film school. Evocative for people like me who spent childhood holidays in Great Yarmouth, & pretty cool soundtrack)

A load more BFI shorts

Force Majeure (majestic)

Dinner For Schmucks (the remake of Le Diner De Cons - still pretty funny)

McDonald & Dodds catch-up (sorry not sorry)

Bottle Rocket short (I don't really like that guy's stuff, sorry, but I thought I would at least squeeze this in)

The Love Has Won doc (loonies)

Tropic Thunder (very funny)

A couple of Dave Gorman DVDs

The Tower series 3 (not amazing, but kinda drawn in now)

Gone Girl (they deserve each other)

The Budding Prospects pilot, and

Louie Bluie (very good - making the not overly-productive Terry Zwigoff only the second director I've completed on after David Lynch)

Chasing Shadows (old Reece Shearsmith detective series that seemingly didn't get picked up for more, leaving it hanging annoyingly)

Sometime around here, I also watched virtually the whole of Shakespeare & Hathaway (sorry not sorry)

Dark Horse (second try - kinda put off by the music at first, which I read a great explanation for afterwards)

Damsels In Distress (into this)

Wild Tales (good stuff)

Thursday's Children (extra on the If DVD. Safe to say it would be...erm...made differently these days)

Scratch (turntablist doc)

Entr'acte (very early experimental short, nicely trippy)

I Confess (I think the main complaint about this at the time just shows how insular people used to be [still are?] about other faiths - I found it totally convincing, & kinda gripping)

The Wrong Man (another Hitchcock gripper)

Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu (considering how generic this looked for a chance DVD-for-pennies find - only really picked up for the bonkers title- I thought this was jolly good. Made me think I ought to watch more like it)

London (finally got through the Keiller doc on about the third go. The conceit of the storyline was kinda annoying me to start with, but I will forgive it!!)

Grosse Pointe Blank (neither should be as forgotten as it seems to be on the whole nor as cult as it is to some. Decent watch though)

Devil & the Deep (very early Cary Grant performance in this. I was gonna turn this off but it got left on, & I'm glad it is. Stagey, but solid)

The Wrecking Crew (one of those extremely bad ones with Ice T in. A kinda So Bad It's Bad chore)

Ciao Ciao (another chance DVD find, & a very happy one. Fairly recent, & worth seeking out)

Wild Gals of the Naked West (I persevered with this early Russ Meyer, & I'm not sure why really, cos it is complete rubbish!)

Ms 45 (on about the third go - something a bit artificial putting me off at the start I think - once it gets going, pretty brutal stuff)

Fear City (another Abel F - bit glitzier, but in a sleazy way. I liked it)

Schlock cinema doc

Intolerance (started this loads of times, looking for a half-decent print. Found the optimum one in the end. Extravagant sets of course, but not exactly one for most modern cinema viewers, very clearly upgraded in recent times because people can't bear to say that Birth of A Nation is The One anymore. None of this is to say it is bad though, because it most certainly is not)

Gun Crazy (so glad I finally found this. Awesome)

The Bakery Girl of Monceau (if I was the bakery girl of Monceau, or indeed, the other girl, I'd have binned him off on principal, for spending most of the 20 minute run time littering the streets of Paris with pastry wrappers)

Le Samourai (very stylish)

Murder By Contract (only just read about this before I watched it - another film noir banger)

The Big Boss (pretty brutal Bruce Lee one, but leavened with goofy humour, like leaving man-shape holes where he punched people through walls etc!)

Fist of Fury

Doc on Roger Corman's version of The Fantastic 4

Made In Britain (a pearler)

Death Wish 3 (when I went back & realised I had got this far in the series & that this one is considered a So Bad... one. And how! Deffo looking out for this on DVD, would really enjoy a rewatch sometime. Bananas)

The rest of Dekalog (I was a bit unfair on this before, saying it is overrated. I love Kieslowski, & it is absolutely excellent, it is just that you get the slight whiff that it is like Finnegan's Wake, more referenced than actually seen, or whatever, destined for greatness for the (admittedly excellent) concept, & for the bleak Eastern European vibe (just reading a book on him & apparently he made it LESS so by leaving out queues, ration cards etc), but it IS restrained by the TV format, & unlikely to be grasped all at once cos there's so much of it. So many great ones though, & thoroughly rewatchable, I'm sure)

What About Me (I've been trying a load from that wave recently & this is the only one I got through - kinda charming in its own way, & every few seconds it is like "Hey, isn't that...?", she must be real personable to get all those faces involved)

The Family Friend (a friend has tried to get me to watch Il Divo & I kinda need to concentrate on that, with its labyrinthine politics, but this earlier one by the guy is something of a triumph- what a creation the main character is!)

Life During Wartime

Wiener-Dog

Fear, Anxiety & Depression (last 3 all Solondz - I persevered with this barely functional last one [his first] in order to say...Solondz is the THIRD director I have completed on!)

The Campaign (another good Ferrell one, I think, although I have also rejected a few of his under the radar recently - generally cheapo early stuff or when he is trying to do more dramatic stuff)

Downhill (the Ferrell version of Force Majeure, which I know I shouldn't like & certainly isn't the original, but I still did)

Doc on I Spit On Your Grave

Multiple Maniacs (did take a couple goes, but once you get into the swing of it, impressively bonkers/sleazy)

Serial Mom (the easier version of the above vibe!)

La Chienne (glad I came across this, referenced as the origin of a later one I forget the name of - really tophole early French one, quite visceral)

Boudu Saved From Drowning (same director & lead as above? Very funny)

While the City Sleeps (solid+ Lang)

Wonderland (more for the story than the chops, but impressive names on the cast)

Touch of Evil (double-sleazoid)

The Steamroller & the Violin (the first Tarkovsky I've made it through, I'm afraid, & it's a short feature, but I certainly liked it)

Grown-Ups (really loved this Mike Leigh TV play, with a superlative cast of Leigh regulars. If you like him, seek it out)

Meantime (also v good from Leigh)

Some early Alan Clarke TV plays

A bunch of Kieslowski shorts

The Short & Curlies (excellent Mike Leigh short)

Some Svankmajer shorts

Some classic experimental shorts, most notably Conner's Report, which is hardcore

Ordet (banger)

Shadows In Paradise (great joy to see another wonderful Kaurismaki, must really get more of these seen)

"Do you just like me cause I'm a girl?" Fang asked Kobato rather randomly.

            unprompted asks. » always accepting!

    "I mean, you being a cute girl also helps!" Kobato admits with the beginnings of a sheepish grin lacing his lips. Honestly, he had no idea where that question exactly came from, but either way, he felt like he was being under intense scrutiny at the moment. "But if you were a guy, yeah... it would be a whole nutha story altogether," Kobato then hastily nods, because if she happened to be a man, he would certainly treat her quite differently. Either way, the fact remains that he doesn't exactly have a more complex reason for liking Fang. He just does.
