the crows are so young. they're so young. they make fun of wylan for playing the flute and being a bad criminal. they love waffles. they mock kaz's bad haircut. matthias mentally addresses kaz only with insults for nearly the whole two books. they have all been jealous of each other showing other people attention at some point -- jesper is jealous of anyone kaz gives attention to. matthias is jealous of anyone nina gives attention to. kaz is jealous of how comfortable the others are with each other. wylan is jealous of kuwei flirting with jesper -- they're all insecure at some point. nina gets mad at them for eating her cookies. they're all horny and fantasize about their crushes while actively running for their lives. they all want to kill the woman they kidnapped because she's whiny. they tease inej for sounding philosophical. they have secret hand signals. jesper and nina make sex jokes all the time and love to make others blush. they spite each other. they threatened to tattletale on each other to each other. they compete over who has the biggest bounty on his head. inej uses "being a matthias" as an insult. kaz and jesper have a physical scrap and have to be pulled apart by an Adult. i adore them so much

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil

"Eddie, I spilled some coffee in the kitchen. I'm sorry. I'm apologizing now."

This tells me that he left the mess there and didn't clean it up lol.

tv shows need to STOP killing off the kids that come from abuse, the message that it sends is fucked up!!! (sorry for any spoilers but all these shows have been out long enough now)

it's been a while since i posted something hp-related but, even though snape is a complex character, i hate how people say he's "for the neurodivergents" and see the way he bullies kids as evidence of his neurodivergence, like he did not traumatise clumsy and neurodivergent-coded kids (i.e: neville longbottom) for having difficulties in his classes, like he did not refuse to show empathy for a muggle-born girl as clever and insecure as he was. like, come on.

They made Eloise apologize for not loving the patriarchy or being interested in the tradwife lessons she was being forced to attend as punishment for being unmarried, and then degraded a prominent early feminist author for not 'valuing love' enough...

I am going to kill everyone in that writers room and then myself, genuinely what the fuck was that

So many things to unpack here:

1. Eloise didn’t “apologize for not loving the patriarchy”, she apologized for not taking her sister’s interests seriously. Eloise attended Hyacinth’s finishing lessons—an endeavor that she took very seriously—and spent the entire time cracking jokes and taking none of it seriously. It would be akin to your sister coming to your wedding just to make fun of the decorations and spend the whole time talking about how stupid marriage is.

2. And Violet asked Eloise to attend Hyacinth’s finishing lessons because she had declared herself “on the shelf” and Violet wanted Eloise to still be a productive member of her family; if Eloise was not going to pursue marriage then she could at least relieve Violet of some of her chaperoning duties so she doesn’t have to attend finishing lessons for the fourth child in a row. And mind you, Eloise pure herself in this position by declaring that she was “on the shelf”.

3. A core theme of Eloise’s character is her fear of love, whether it be familial, platonic, or romantic. She specifically fears romantic love because she fears losing herself in those relationships. Eloise has goals and ambitions and dreams—maybe more than any other female character on the show—and she is surrounded by a society and group of men who value none of that. But as she opens herself up to the love of her friends and family in these past three season, she learns that true, unconditional love does not force you to hide, it allows you to act freely and love openly.

All respect to the OP, they are completely entitled to their feelings about Eloise’s arc over the whole show as well as this season specifically. I just wanted present a different, more positive perspective on her behavior.

1. Eloise did not want to be at those lessons, and Hyacinth was well aware that Eloise had no interest in being there, she even insulted her over them ("You might learn something from the lesson on posture") but nobody cares about how little regard Hyacinth shows her there. And when has Hyacinth ever taken any of Eloise's interests seriously? When has anybody? Nobody cares about what Eloise has to say, or think, yet the only character that ever needs to apologize is Eloise because she doesn't want to engage in a discussion about the lessons on table setting that she was already subjected to. Not to mention, Hyacinth has literally a ton full of women who share these interests because they're the only thing women are allowed to like, whilst Eloise is the only one who actually thinks outside the confines of the ton and is constantly ridiculed for it, I'm so sorry, but I really fail to see how Hyacinth, of all people, is the victim here

2. Violet did not ask Eloise, that would imply Eloise was there willingly, she told Eloise she could either be forced to talk to suitors again, or she could go to the lessons, that's hardly a choice, and it wasn't because she wanted Eloise to be productive, it was because Violet knew Eloise hated those lessons and was hoping it would be enough to force Eloise back on the market, because Violet is a controlling, selfish, manipulative, absolutely awful excuse of a mother, if this was the modern era, Eloise would've gone at least low-contact with her, and I would cheer. And I'm not going to respond to the comment on how Eloise "put herself in this position" because... yikes

3. Eloise is not afraid of familial or platonic love?? I don't know where that is coming from, she is so open with her love towards her friends and family, I genuinely don't know where this interpretation is coming from. And Eloise's aversion to marriage is way deeper than just being 'afraid of losing herself', it genuinely bugs me when people boil it down to that, because Eloise detests that marriage turns women into property of their husbands, who can do whatever they like to their wives and face no consequences, that's not fear of losing herself, that's basic self-preservation. She also detests that marriage is the only thing women are allowed to have, she wants to go to university, she wants to travel the world, she wants to study, and explore more of who she is and what the world has to offer—but the fandom has to boil it down to "she just doesn't understand the power of TRUE LOVE" because if they actually listened to what she said, they couldn't ignore how tone-deaf that argument is. Also, Eloise has been open to the love of her family and friends all these seasons, it is her family and friends that continue to ignore, sideline, and diminish her interests, and beat her into submission until she fits the tradwife mold. I don't understand how Eloise's arc could be read as being about about learning "that true, unconditional love does not force you to hide, it allows you to act freely and love openly" seeing as everything that has happened to Eloise has been... the exact opposite of that. She wasn't allowed to go to political rallies, she isn't allowed to just be a spinster in peace, like 25% of noble women in that era—because her mom's a bitch—she can't focus on writing in her journal—because her mom's a bitch—she can't read in peace—because her mom's a bitch—she can't even choose to remain impartial to the presence of a child—because her mom's a bitch.

I completely understand what you're trying to say, and this is no hate to you, but Eloise's arc cannot be about how 'true love allows you to be yourself' when every aspect of Eloise is being degraded and belittled so that she can realistically become P*ilip's stepford wife. The show and characters do not let Eloise act freely and openly, they actively punish her whenever she tries, so her arc is more "women who are feminists are just stupid, whiny, privileged girls who do not understand love, and childfree women are just selfish, but it's okay, they just need a man to come and fix them and unlock their true maternal side, then they'll give up their desire for education, equal opportunity, and rights, because they'll have a husband and a family, and that's all that any woman needs!!"

(Evident by how they spoke of Mary Wollstonecraft and how Violet said she didn't need to be rebellious because she had TrUe LoVe)

#yes!#f**k people trying to turn Eloise into a tradwife #women should not be limited to marriage and kids #bridgerton
