yes I am devastated about the death of Creloise, but I’m actually weirdly happy that Francesca is the first canon sapphic Bridgerton? Benedict being queer has made me so happy, but having the promiscuous second son and the man hating forward thinking woman be the two queer characters felt kinda on the nose stereotype wise. making Francesca queer is so much more interesting to me, because this season she has already become not only a fully fleshed out character, but one that does not fit neatly into any token queer archetypes.

What are your highlights of season 3 of Bridgerton?

Benedict kissing a man and Francesca becoming unbelievably flustered and forgetting her own name at the sight of Michaela Stirling!

Francesca joining the cooler Bridgerton siblings as the third queer Bridgerton was not on my bingo card but I'm very happy nonetheless and on Pride Month too we just keep on winning 🎉

I'm sorry this whole scene is insane. Cressida being pressed by her parents to find a man, her and her mother waiting for a suitor to visit and then Eloise is the one who shows up?!?! And Cressida is SO happy about it??

And then her father is all like "i never want you to see that girl ever again" for literally NO reason i'm????? She's a lesbian your honor i rest my case

Idc how much Bridgerton books fans cry, 8 seasons about 8 straight couples would have been boring af

This is the character I made for season 1 of Bridgerton. I think I should update.

Shout-out to the writers who know stats and looked at an 8 kid family and went "2 of them are gay"

The transition of Brimsley and Reynolds dancing together to Brimsley dancing alone broke something in me

Benedict Bridgerton took ONE LOOK at Mr. Suarez and decided to speedrun the bi-cycle he'd been procrastinating for two seasons

“You know, when I first met your father…I could barely speak my own name. I was so taken by him” 💘

I want to believe there is a world where we'll get an angsty Regency cover of Good Luck Babe while Eloise and Cressida stare longingly across a ballroom at each other

they are so sun and moon coded!!

"Penelope should have chosen Debling!"

My sister in Christ. . .he literally dumped her???

Like just before Colin Bridgerton was on his knees after outrunning her carriage to profess how he can't stop thinking about her in his love me, choose me, I'm yours speech, Debling did the Regency equivalent of calling her a floozy who would undoubtedly cheat on him when he abandoned her for several years to chase his passions (because she would never be one of said passions since she asked outright if he could ever come to care for her and he went 'hmmmm seems unlikely! good thing you have solitary hobbies to occupy you instead!') when he has been given 0 evidence of such other than realizing she liked to look out the window because she had a crush on the boy across the street. I was ready to challenge that man to a duel for Pen's honor

His feelings for her were middling at best, I mean Christ on a Pogostick, after he asked her mum for permission to propose he isn't even happy when he opens the door and Pen is there? She's looking like a snack- nay, a whole ass MEAL, and he can't even smile? He just nods at her and dips the fuck out? You don't think it would kill Penelope to know that both her sisters have husbands who absolutely adore them and she's out here with an absent dude who likely won't even write to her?

Portia's 'Love is make believe!' speech is so transparently full of shit when you realize that we've got Dankworth who is so obsessed with Prudence that he makes heart eyes at her every waking moment and considers her his little bonbon and Albion who loves Phillipa so much that he was waiting for her to consent to sex (not realizing she didn't know what it was) for two entire years because he would never pressure her and so he was content with finishing in his pants when he kissed her to make sure she was comfortable. And you want Penelope to settle for a life of loneliness? When Colin is so besotted with her that he dreams of her and breaks every societal expectation in the book as a notorious People Pleaser to run after her and cannot even wait for the morning after being intimate with her to introduce her as his wife to his family in the middle of the night? You want her to turn down Mr "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible" Bridgerton? For LORD PENGUIN?

Be so serious right now
