it's always so funny when people say that benedict tried to baby trap sophie because it is so incredibly obvious #tome that sophie is using the possibility of a pregnancy as a permission structure to plan a life with benedict. her getting her period comes right on the heels of her overhearing anthony and benedict's fight. it's the the breaking of the fantasy.

#she's like not even really mad the next day?#she's worried about the pregnancy because she's unsure of (or more accurately won't let herself believe) benedict's devotion #and it is up to benedict to prove that what they have isn't a whim. which he successfully does!#and then the social consequences they've been steadfastly ignoring come knocking at the door #I feel like this is v explicit in the show. they get over the individual obstacles and insecurities p fast #benophie

i’m just dredging up old discourse for fun, apparently, but: i do get where people get the whole "billy has a madonna/whore complex" re: camila and daisy, what with the whole fire v. water thing, but i just… don't think it's accurate? he never slates daisy in the role of the whore. once he moved past all the complicated, frustrated emotions daisy stirred up, she's probably the person he respected most in the book. he's his most honest self with her. the fire and water thing is a desperate attempt to convince himself that there was a binary choice and that there was a correct option within that paradigm.

#i'd even go so far as to say that he DID make the right choice #((insofar as he made a choice at all))#i think being near julia gave him a sense of purpose and accountability. she is who he loved the most.#billy is v extreme in his actions and reactions even if his emotions are more complicated #and even a co-parenting situation would have felt too much like repeating the deadbeat dad cycle and would have caused him to relapse.#but i don't think billy thought he was in love because daisy was his temptation personified #rather she was temptation incarnate BECAUSE he fell in love with her — wholly and immediately and undeniably #i think he tried very hard to convince himself he was happy with his choice. whether that's true is debatable.#i don't think he was unhappy tbf #((but definitely was unfulfilled. which is sadder in a way.))#daisy jones and the six #daisybilly

crying again over how lost and alone both sophie and benedict were before they found each other. they were isolated for entirely different reasons, obviously, but what a relief it must have been to feel displaced for so long and then find someone who completes you so wholly.

#and here again the show just does so much better than the book #having benedict be bi/pan adds a deeper layer of understanding between him and sophie #this innate othering by society that leaves them both unmoored and unsure of their place in the world #benophie

benedict thinking the lady in silver was hiding from him because she didn't want to be with him vs. sophie hiding the fact that she was the lady in silver because she thought benedict would be disappointed it was her

#my favorite idiots #two sides of the same self-loathing coin #benophie

it's frying me that all of the tiktok trends yerin has posted are old as hell bc bridgerton takes an eternity to film

#they need to hurry it up a little #two years for eight episodes pls get real #bridgerton

i think s4 did such a good job of showing that benedict and sophie, outside of Being In Love™, just, like… like each other. they laugh together, they have fun together. there's such a fondness and tenderness to their dynamic. they bring out the best parts of each other, the parts they both keep hidden away. it was really lovely to watch. i completely understood why this relationship mattered so much to them and why they fought for it when it would have been so much easier to let it go and forget each other

#bridgerton #benophie #the moment of all moments was that scene at my cottage when sophie finds benedict's paintings #and just GETS it. and he feels so seen! beautiful beautiful beautiful

"nothing i wouldn't do to go back to the past and wait for you" was crazy, actually. billy dunne, your mind is a beautiful mystery.

#daisy jones and the six #billy dunne #i don't know how he didn't collapse under the weight of his own cognitive dissonance #'it's about being willing to give up something for someone else.' mmm in a sense. i guess lol.#my djats reread

it's so funny that people get so hung up on the show making daisy and billy's affair physical. like. book!billy was in love with daisy for forty years.

#fully romantically in love with her #could describe the color of her eyes in painstaking detail four decades after last seeing her #his wife gave him her deathbed blessing. that's how poorly he was hiding it.#daisy jones and the six #djats #daisybilly

one thing that stuck with me about camila and billy’s relationship when i first read the book and that i’m thinking about again now that the show is over is that, like… it’s always a little bit of a lie, you know? there’s always (#tome) a little bit of yearning for the potential of their relationship — for what they think their life should be, for what it could have been, for what it might eventually be instead of what it actually is. they’re both trying really hard to live up to the idealized version of themselves (billy in particular), but never quite manage it because the mask is never fully removed. i’m glad the show writers picked up on the same thing!

#daisy jones and the six #djats #i just… that’s accurate!#glad to see that i’m not crazy and other people saw it too #why are people mad that the reality of the book ending played out on screen?#billy wasn’t in love with camila #he says as much in the book actually #but he did choose her #and that counts for something #it matters that he chose her #their dynamic wasn’t some great fated romance but it was theirs and it worked for them and they were happy #and that’s all you can really ask for at the end of the day

unpopular opinion: i don’t think the show misunderstood the point of the book at all, Actually. i think it captured the spirit quite well while still being palatable and coherent to an audience that isn’t familiar with the book.

#daisy jones and the six #idk… i reread the book a couple days ago bc i wanted to see whether the complaints held up #and they kind of didn’t lmao #djats #editing to add: the thing about the book is that they’re all lying #or misremembering bc it’s been 40 years or omitting details to cast themselves in a better light #the show can’t do that #the show has to pick one interpretation and stick with it #so as not to confuse people #but u still get hints that the narrators aren’t always truthful #like when daisy is asked about her arrest for breaking and entering and she’s like ‘idk ppl write untrue things about me all the time’#djats spoilers

i <3 cheaters

#i’ve always been a physical infidelity truther so i’m having a ball idk #ur telling me u read all that and thought they DIDN’T fuck???#if anything they’re going kind of easy with it #anyway! I Love Mess :)#daisy jones and the six #djats #djats spoilers
