#were dialogue options or a normal dress such unparalleled feats. honestly

oh, but Elisabeth was done dirty. we could've had such a stunning female character with snark and beliefs, but what we got was a robbed woman with no taste in clothes (Charlotte, a not plot-related character, was dressed better. I'm sorry, El).

do not proceed if my opinion might make you pick a fight with me.

instead of being defiant, she became pliant with time. I was shocked to hear her say “I was of a better opinion about you, Dr. Reid” when (or if) you confess you didn't kill her backmailer. lol, this woman literally said: you're paying out of your own wallet for that one, even if I'm responsible for things I'm accused of; finish things next time, mate.

(she got a raise out of me on this one, not gonna lie—I was starting to adore her for having opinions and being cruel.)

then, in a second, she's all “why, excuse me this, excuse me that, til we meet again, Dr. Reid, I invite you to my manor, come, my dear”. like WHAT. where's the build-up. where's your character? she turned so bland, and while the storyline tried to make her useful, they didn't make her any better than that.

ooh a Lady goes to the sewers, ooh a Lady is so valiant, ooh this and that. the fuck. did they make a big fuss out of the help she herself suggested, really?

also, her “I don't care about Ekon politics until they accept female members” is a shit stance. you raised a girl so defiant she screams about equal rights for women all around West End, but you yourself just sit and do nothing to make posh white men accept you as their equal? that's unfathomable to me. use your wit, use your knowledge. tell these men, I am William Marshall's progeny too, floor them with that statement. you might be reclusive, but don't let it become your ignorance. you don't share posh white men's beliefs? change them, then. make yourself matter, make a change for yourself so you don't rot and wail in loneliness for the rest of eternity. there are people like Reid somewhere, for you yourself are different from those you despise. it's a new dawn, it's a new day—make someone's life better, help other female Ekons or, hell, Skals?

truthfully, Old Bridget is a much better option than Elisabeth, despite her little patches of disfigured skin. at some point I wished her to be his apple of the eye, but well. the masses want pretty white women onscreen, whose only character traits are caution and interest in a hot man.

*sighs tiredly*

thank God we have a gay option.
