I just would love to see what Colin is thinking while the rest of his brothers are beating up Phillip

" I left my sexy wife for this"

" how would Eloise feel if I got myself kidnapped on her honeymoon? Why she so rude to me??"

" this is the most time alone I've had with Penelope in ages and Eloise can't even let me honeymoon in peace"

"wait a minute... Dots connected... Kidnapped Eloise = more Penelope for me"

" if Phillip keeps Eloise, then I won't have to share my wife with her"

" New plan, befriend this Phillip guy, convince him Eloise isn't annoying, bribe him to extend Eloise stay at his house, possibly forever, no, no, Anthony's way is better, force them to marry"

"Argh Pen would have better ideas, Pen is so smart, and witty...and sexy"

" I MISS MY WIFE"

Imagine the two of them talking about traveling and seeing the world while Penelope and Eloise plan world domination. 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

I can Eloise falling in love with show Phillip. Like a hunky man who saved his brother’s baby momma and treating her with respect? Hot.

Pathetic, nerd who wants to talk about plants? Also hot.

Respectful? Triple hot.

BRIDGERTON (2020-)

SIR PHILLIP CRANE

1.08

[the--last-great-american-dynasty]

seeing jonathan bailey in wicked made me remember how absolutely incredible he is in the second season of bridgerton and just how good that season is in the first place. so anyways i’m back in a bit of a bridgerton swing and i was just thinking about how it’s so funny that the bridgertons are one of the most prestigious families of the ton and yet literally every single sibling has a major scandal with their partner. (this is going off both the books and the show)

daphne and simon get caught in the garden, simon and anthony duel, and daphne and simon are forced to marry (this is literally the tamest scandal by far)

anthony nearly marries kate’s sister but he literally makes googoo eyes at kate during the fucking wedding so edwina catches them and ends her wedding that THE QUEEN LITERALLY SET UP

benedict falls in love a maid, sophie, at his house (it’s a little more complicated than that, but this is the short version), sophie gets fucking ARRESTED for stealing from her stepmom, benedict marries her anyways. also sophie is an illegitimate daughter. and the scandal of benedict marrying ‘below his status’ forces them to move out to the country to get away from the ton

COLIN MARRIES LADY WISTLEDOWN

eloise runs away from home to go decide if she wants to marry her pen pal. her brothers find her and basically force them to get married so it doesn’t create a scandal. (said pen pal is literally MARINA’S WIDOWED HUSBAND, so this is going to be even messier in the show if they don’t change it because then she’s going to marry the husband of colin’s ex and penelope’s cousin which is… interesting)

francesca starts out normal, but then she marries the cousin of her dead husband, who they’re making a woman in the show, which means she’s gonna be GAY which is gonna make an even bigger scandal

hyacinth is basically a scandal just in and of herself because basically all the men of the ton are scared of her. but then she helps lady danbury’s GRANDSON break into his dad’s house to search for hidden diamonds (said dad is also not actually his dad (he mom cheated with his uncle) and also hates him and wants to ruin him). (this is my favorite book by far.)

you think it can’t get any messier and then gregory goes and becomes the most unhinged bridgerton to date. he falls in love with this girl, lucy, except she’s already betrothed to someone and he literally RUNS IN AND INTERRUPTS LUCY’S WEDDING and asks her to marry him instead and she fucking says NO. but then it’s revealed that she’s being blackmailed and they end up together. also at one point he ties her up in a closet so she doesn’t try and sabotage herself.

anyways, poor violet bridgerton. she seriously never gets a break from her children

Philoise Week 2024 || Day Two

And she gasped. For there, on the bed, were flowers. Hundreds and hundred of blooms, some clearly out of season, picked from Phillip's special collection in his greenhouse. And written in blossoms of red, against the backdrop of white and pink petals:

I LOVE YOU.

Really hoping we get detailed scenes from To Sir Philip, with Love for Eloise’s season because what I wouldn’t give to see the scene where her brothers barge in and Anthony is strangling Philip, Eloise has Benedict in a chokehold, Colin is hanging back and looking amused, and Gregory is hanging back but pissed off that he can’t be the one choking Philip. Meanwhile Philip is wondering why he thought proposing to Eloise was a good idea when she certainly mentioned she had brothers.

And then of course the follow up scene where Eloise has a talk with Anthony and comes out to find Colin has eaten everyone’s dinner bc he’s Colin, and the guys are all drunk and besties.

This is a peak Bridgerton chaos siblings moment and the actors are all perfect to pull off this scene.

Just copy the Bridgerton men personalities and that’s it

[i-did-not-ask-for-your-bs]

Existing in a world where I have to filter out cr*loise and th*loise fics out constantly so they don't clog my polin tag searches. Like, I already dislike both ships, but stans shoving their mid ships down my throat makes it so much worse.

Philoise season, come home to meeee 😭. I need it so bad, like free me from this torment, Eloise needs a person who understands and supports her.

Theo was really a two dimensional character created for the express purpose of being a generic entry level love interest. Nothing is actually known about his life outside of what suits that purpose.

I refuse to even dignify the reason I don't like Cressida with words. It should be obvious.

I'm so tired, especially when my boy is purposefully misunderstood by fans of the show. Philip isn't perfect but he has a perfectly understandable trauma response even if it isn't great. Theo had no real personality other than romanticized poor love interest, but the complex male character that literally experienced a traumatic event less than a year before the main plot of the book was even reached gets constant criticism with no nuanc.

Cressida...people only take her abuse seriously because her father is the main perpetrator and she's a girl (they never acknowledge that Violet and Penelope are also both victims of emotional and verbal abuse and still managed to be fundamentally good people who made understandable (even if on some occasions extreme) mistakes that they both take full responsibility for and don't try to excuse it instead of explaining it. Likely because their perpetrators are their mothers). Philip experienced severe emotional and physical abuse and does problematic things as a result (often because he sees it as protecting his loved ones rather than just being a dick), but he doesn't even get half the empathy that Cressida does from certain parts of this fandom.

Philoise season cannot come soon enough istg.

Theo to Philip: you're in her DMs i'm on her nerves, i'm pissing her off, i'm ruining her life

[thisisaname-whatahappyname]

the only way I'll ever accept eloise being married to phillip crane is if she goes to visit cressida and have her own version of the scene with colin and mariah but this time it's lady crane asking what could've been and a rendition of goodluck babe starts blasting in the background and i need it so bad actually

my predictions for the bridgerton show and its remaining seasons/bridgerton siblings and their romance stories, the order we will see them all.

all the speculation surrounding who is going to be the next mc in bridgerton s4, and of course i am hoping and wanting it to be benedict. but i do think it actually will be him and not eloise.

yes, eloise’s story comes directly after polin’s, jump started by their engagement. but that is also due to the time jump polin’s story has so that pen and eloise are older and settled into the titles of “spinsters”. in s3 eloise is only in her 2nd season out, and would not be considered a spinster yet for another season or two. and also considering the fact that it would have just been another year (2 in total) since marina and philip got married, so her children would not be that old. in eloise and philip’s story, the children are a big component, and them still being toddlers/babies wouldn’t push the story like it should. (yes they could alter it, but i don’t see that happening).

as for benedict, his story offers the perfect time jump. if he were to meet sophie at the last ball at the end of s3, it would offer the perfect opportunity for a time jump between s3 and s4, perfect for ben to have been searching for his mystery woman during that time (and perfect for philip’s children to grow in time for eloise and his story).

it also brings in the build up we have seen so far for the cowper’s. cressida’s mother’s name is “araminta” and they would not have two characters of the same name, especially one uncommon as araminta (the same name of sophie’s stepmother in the books). and seeing a little more of a glimpse into cressida and her parents, even her father, it makes sense that they could be the ones connected to sophie. not to mention cressida being such a more complicated character than the audience had thought, honestly being a good mixture of rosamund and posy (sophie’s step sisters).

it also wouldn’t quite make sense for eloise to be next to have her romance. she is still young, and we have not seen any build up for her yet (the letters, the mysteriousness that leads to her running away to philip). meanwhile, we have seen constant build up for benedict, especially after his short talk with anthony in s3e1 where he mentions he liked stepping in as viscount to look over the estate while kanthony were in their honeymoon because it gave him purpose and something to do, the exact thing he seeks for in his own story and is delved deeper into then.

people will counter that eloise’s story starts because of polin’s engagement so it’s a direct correlation. and that’s how it was in the books, but i don’t think that’s how it will go in the show. i think her catalyst will be benedict getting married instead. her relationship with ben has shown to be closer and more pronounced than her other siblings, and with her and pen’s relationship still being unsteady and unsure what will happen at the end of s3, it doesn’t quite make sense for it to affect eloise as hugely as it does in the books. i think even polin’s engagement/marriage will spark eloise to start writing letters (i see polin travelling for awhile for their honeymoon, sparking eloise to want to write letters to pen and colin as much as she can, sparking further her writing to philip upon hearing of marina’s death (probably having heard of it before polin does so feeling a sense of responsibility to write to him in their stead)).

having benedict’s story come next will also we a good segway into seeing life outside of society. with eloise, francesca, hyacinth and gregory’s story not set majorily in the eyes of the ton and society, but benedict’s have some of both, being a good start to transitioning the show to that side of this world that has been built.

this way, s4 would still center around benedict and his romance with sophie, most likely after she has run away from her home (so we will probably see the flashbacks to those events throughout the season as it will have been a few years). and it also gives some time to build up eloise’s story more and maybe hearing of marina’s death, etc.

and of course, the remaining seasons will still continue in the order of the books. in s4 (benedict) and s5 (eloise), we will see more of francesca and john, them marrying, being introduced to michael, john’s death, and maybe a little bit of the separation between frannie and michael. which will lead to their story as s6, right after eloise and philip. and hyacinth and gregory will be older (and their actors as well so it won’t be inappropriate for them to have their own adult romance stories told). so for s7 and s8, they will step into their stories with gareth and lucy

you can see i have thought a lot about this and i appreciate anyone who has read this far lmao. but i would love to hear other people’s thoughts as well!!!
