as someone whose second language is english the comments from native english speakers being like ‘how could yuki not know?’ ‘i understand it’s not his first language BUT…’
but what? seriously but what? but he should have magically been gifted the knowledge of all words and all connotations ?
i saw someone being like ‘yuki speaks well enough he know what he did’ ?? what? he literally said he didn’t?
you can and should be upset, hearing someone says slurs is upsetting, i’m glad he’s held accountable. But assuming someone who is apologising for not knowing better and explaining why they didn’t know better - that they should have known better anyway is absolutely ridiculous.
y’all need to understand that slurs are fundamentally cultural and as non native speakers there are always gaps of knowledge, assuming his intentions were obviously malicious when everything getting out is only saying how apologetic and horrified he was upon learning what the r slur actually was,,, it’s just weird behavior
he was held accountable, he has a fine to pay, he apologised publicly, you take it or you leave it is your prerogative in the end ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh oh oh, them holding hands? Or hugging after S3 because I'm a sucker for some fluffy angst
Aw HELL yeah dude snuggly mushy stuff is my favorite fuckin thing so why not both!!
Holding hands while they wreak havoc hdjfhsjhsjsb
God season 3 makes me WEEP AAAAHHFJFJSHSHDHSHGS 😭😭😭
Although personally I felt very let down by the ending (I just found it kind of narratively unsatisfying) so I like to imagine an au where Sam abruptly remembers that they’ve been to hell and that’s def where Max went, so he just calls Jurgen over the hell customer service line and bothers him until they finally yeet Max back out due to pure annoyance lmaooo

Spoilers for most recent Icarus lore stream
What makes me nervous about Icarus saying “I’ll kill any god/god adjacent person on sight” is that it includes so much of their family.
For example, Athena.
:(

(Okay I wasnt going to post this but im actually pissed off.)
((TW INFERTILITY))
Dear Bridgerton fans who are unreasonably angry at Michael being Micheala in the new season,
You still have the book.
Let me bring up points that I've seen in arguments online:
1- "But her story is about infertility! Putting her with a woman changes everything!"
Queer women struggle with infertility too, in fact it can be very difficult for lesbians who wish to start families of their own as not everyone is able to adopt or find a sperm donor, and even if a sperm donor is found THEY CAN STILL HAVE INFERTILITY ISSUES.
Let me list off romance books that deal with cishet women and their infertility issues below-
Untamed Rose, Scandalous Mistress by Bronwyn Scott
The Devil in Disguise by Lisa Kleypas
The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt
What's Left of Me by Kristen Granata
Lord and Lady Spy by Shana Galen (this one is regency too)
A Secret Sorrow by Karen Van Der Zees
And many more if you google I just dont have all day.
(Extra point, in many of these books the women do not stay infertile and have a miracle baby...not only do many cishet women never get their miracle baby but lesbian couples literally cannot concieve)
And now let me list of books that deal with Lesbian women and their fertility issues-
.....
OH WAIT I COULDNT FIND A SINGLE ONE!!
This leads me to my next point.
2- Bridgerton is a love letter to minorities in romance.
As someone who is south asian myself, I have seen how western beauty standards and racism has treated women in our culture, literally go online and search up "which race would you not date" its disgusting.
I grew up only seeing white women be the desirable one in romances as did many others, you know what changed this for me?
Kate Sharma.
The international audience for Bridgerton especially with brown women of South Asian descent grew TREMENDOUSLY. We had a woman like us portrayed positively and seen as desirable, you guys genuinely do not understand how many brown women watch this show because of season 2.
If we had Kate, WHY should Lesbians struggling with infertility and Black Lesbians not have Francesca and Micheala.
3- "It should have been Eloise and Cressida!"
Why? Because Eloise is a loud mouthed feminist and Cressida is a mean blonde and they shared an understanding? Because theyre both white?
While I do want Eloise to be queer as well just think about that for a moment, while lesbian representation is scarce these days it is even scarcer for Lesbians who do not fit the norm...the mostly white, neurotypical, skinny, cis norm.
Genuinely think about how many times ypu have seen these tropes in wlw fiction, like sit and think about it.
Such as Black lesbians for example, you all are aware they exist right?
I want to reccomend this video by a sunny book nook which talks about how lesbians in a VAST MAJORITY of lesbian romance novels arent really...allowed to be complex characters and it would be some FANTASTIC insight for some of yall
In conclusion, you are allowed to miss Michael, but don't you dare say this takes away from her story, as it ties into the very aim of the show.
Thank you for reading.
