The phillip stans on reddit are so annoyinggggg they’ll infest any post that’s not about phillip and make it about phillip and chris fulton and philoise somehow. Meanwhile you can’t mention franchaela on the main bridgerton subs without getting crucified

I swear to god, it's like this fandom crawled out of the Georgian Era itself, they are so annoying

Mind you, P*iloise is literally a betrayal to Eloise's entire character, and a giant "Fuck You" to Marina, and Franchaela is infinitely more interesting and impactful than P*iloise could ever hope to be, but this fandom is too conservative and male-centred to appreciate a WLW ship

Also people making AI "edits" of Theo James as Michael are hilarious because like, you realize that even if they hadn't genderbent him, he still would not be a white man, right? Like you are aware of that?

Maybe the reason they want Michael so bad is because they genuinely think they're going to get a season with two white people as the lead and they're foaming at the mouth at the idea of it—I'm willing to bet that's why they want P*iloise so bad

Anyways, what songs do you guys wanna hear in Franchaela's season? I want Francesca, i wanna be your girlfriend, Good Luck Babe, Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, Girls Like Girls, Supercut, Fable, and Sailor Song

As an Eloise fan, every time I see someone using the "oh, but what about Eloise's season?" to justify being hateful towards Fran being season 5, and Franchaela in general, I'm like. are you sure you love Eloise? Because to me, it seems like you just hate independent women whose lives don't revolve around men. But like, that's just my opinion.

Trying to explain to a Bridgerton fan that the show choosing to characterize their one female character who does not desire marriage or children, who wants to go to college, and who is frustrated because all of her female peers buy into the system and she cannot find a companion who shares her desires as being selfish, and childish, and telling the audience that this is a phase she will soon outgrow when she unlocks her true 'maternal' side at the expense of a black woman's life is actually really problematic, but then they start speaking and you realize they're lowkey racist, misogynistic, tradwife ideologists, who don't see the issue with this stuff because they genuinely believe in it

dreading for eloise’s season and idk if it’s a hot take but with benophie’s love being class difference and franchaela being same sex love, i see no reason why they won’t make something equally “controversial” (watsonian wise) and keeping the high stake for eloise. like they could have made another class difference but with more stakes bc of radicalism (theloise) or same sex love with cressida’s family background (creloise). like… i just can’t imagine the horror they’re gonna put eloise through in her own season, where they nerf the shit out of her (as if she hasn’t been consistent throughout FOUR SEASONS regarding what she wants and what she doesn’t) and make her nonexistent desire for marriage to be a phase like teenage rebellion which she will outgrow. because all of a sudden they’re gonna make eloise cares about babies, wanting to be a nanny and be a wife because a good love apparently is a love that changes you even when sometimes you shouldn’t have been changed… like i’m sorry but unless the relationship is lavender, i just can’t see it…. like you really don’t have to make (show) eloise’s character THIS strong bc now i might not be able to watch her season and it’s so fucking sad bc she’s my favourite character in the series.

Matter of fact, let's make Hyacinth AND Gregory queer too. To piss the homophobes off too. And Eloise gets Theo. You know. To piss them off even more.

Just finished "The Midnight Feast" by Lucy Foley and its realllllllly good. I'm a sucker a "I never thought I'd be able to bring myself to return to this place but I have returned to face the darkness of the past" type books. It's also got a bit of folk horror, some great characters, and some great mysteries. The plot unfolds in a really satisfying way.

Highly recommend.

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

“The really messed up part is I miss Francesca, sometimes. Or rather, I miss the Francesca I thought I knew. Her radiance. Then I remember: that person was mostly a phantom. An ingenious – entirely cynical – creation.”

“Now the city is at its loveliest. The crowds of summer and autumn have gone, the air has a new freshness, the light has that pale-gold quality unique to this time of year. There have been several weeks of this weather now, without a drop of rain.”

The fact that over last 5 years we got three movies that use Dracula as a metaphor for abuse and for all three of those movies the audience ended up shipping the main character (the abuse victim) with Drac will never not annoy me

We will never get a book accurate adaptation of Stoker's book because on some level people will always try to romanticize vampires even if the story literally tell them not to
