Listen Masali has one of the sultriest voices I have ever heard and I am going to be preparing myself until their season comes out (and I STILL probably won’t be ready) to hear her drop her voice into a lower register for all this lust and longing I was promised. Where I will probably have a stroke and die but that’s neither here nor there.

But point is we are not ready I fear.

Anon, I'm convinced that is a literal siren. Everyone is instantly charmed by her and that voice... 😩 I bet you anything that Hannah folded the moment Masali said hi. Like, in that moment, she was Fran.

I need to know what spell the Etsy witch used to make this happen because I need to know what the consequences are 👀

Because this woman is about to be doing and saying some wickedly sex shit on my TV screen and I'm supposed to act like I'm normal when she's lickin' tatas and declaring her undying love to an autistic goddess who's never-ending hyperfixation consist of two things; playing the piano and Michaela.

Like, I'm not emotionally ready for a Black Lesbian character to get the love and praise they deserve 😭

Theories on michaela’s arc in season 5

hey everyone! i recently posted about how repression plays an interesting role in franchaela’s dynamic. while that post focused on fran because honestly, her repression’s pretty straightforward, i think that repression is a pretty big coping mechanism for michaela as well! it’s a bit harder to do this for michaela since we know a lot less about her in the show. i’ll mix show canon, book canon, and my interpretation of the character so far!

the main thing i think about is the juxtaposition between michaela’s self-assured confidence and free-spiritedness, and her deep desire to be accepted. she was open with john about wanting to be a spinster and (based on interviews), her queerness. he used his privilege as the head of the family to protect her from having to conform to societal expectations. that also gave her freedom to be adventurous and not partake in the hobbies that women were expected to have at the time.

however, that openness and deep-seated pride doesn’t mean that she’s unaware and unaffected by society. she still, to an extent, craves acceptance. this is just a theory, but imo, she has only shared her sexuality with john and her desire to remain a spinster is probably a friction point in her relationship with helen. so when john dies, she may be pressured by helen to finally enter society and the marriage mart. i dont think this will come from a bad place: to helen, michaela’s the last shot for the stirlings to keep the kilmartin seat. i can imagine that john’s sudden death could make her feel concerned about the future of the kilmartin line. to michaela, this will be yet another conflict: choosing to repress her deepest desires vs her duty to her family.

while i dont think this will be a massive plot point (it’ll probs just be in ep 1-2 and michaela wont take it too seriously), i think it works as a great way to build michaela’s character. she presents a free-spirited, devil-may-care, flirtatious, and extroverted mask, which i think is primarily to control how closely people scrutinise her and their expectations of her. if she’s upfront about being adventurous and flighty, then people dont expect anything from her and are comfortable accepting what she gives freely. they wont prod or question, but be drawn into her charm and her stories. it protects her from being too vulnerable.

this is not to say its all a farce. she’s naturally all of these things, but there’s more to her than meets the eye. it’s also something fran has already challenged a couple of times. michaela’s love for fran has pushed her to be more vulnerable and open, especially when she realises how much fran needs reassurance and understanding.

i also think she’s more of a duty-oriented and controlling character than people give her credit for. the way i read that scene where her and john were sitting at the fireplace was that she’s quite used to taking control. john may have trusted her opinion so much before fran entered the picture that she’s exerted some control or influence over some estate affairs.

so when she’s suddenly given control over the kilmartin estate and is finally obliged to stay in one place, i think a part of her will enjoy it and really rise to the occasion. but, she’ll feel heavily conflicted because she would have never gained such privilege and power that very few women ever get the opportunity to experience if john didn’t die. it’ll be another source of guilt for her and she’ll constantly feel pressure to meet the standard that john set. i would love to see her in her element, being great with her tenants and other people under her control. at some point, i would also love to see the queen being fond of her and finding her tenacity amusing. side note, it would also be so cool to see fran and michaela split some of the estate jobs!

another theory i have is, while michaela will probably be unashamed of her sexual history and sapphic identity, she may not imagine that she could be in a relationship. i don’t think michaela has ever let herself hope for a lifelong partner/wife because of how unlikely it would be to find someone willing to sacrifice so much for love. i think that she’s a “rake” because to her, that’s the only way she’ll ever be allowed to experience intimacy and attraction. so, she represses the more romantic, lovergirl side of herself to protect herself and make sure she doesn’t get attached. i think this is confirmed by michaela’s casting call that was leaked, so i think that will be really interesting to watch!

it also creates a flip in franchaela’s dynamic. obviously michaela comes into the season being the more self-assured person that has a shit ton of experience with being sapphic. she will guide fran in all the physical aspects of their relationship and open her up to so many ways a woman can receive and give pleasure. she will also probably be the first to confess her feelings since its attached to her reason for leaving her for two years. however, fran will be stuck between feeling this shared “primal,” intuitive attraction vs what she thinks is expected of her. so, she’ll say or do something that diminishes their relationship and hurts michaela.

however, after her big bridgerton fumble, fran probably wont want to stay in the shadows or love in secret. she’ll want to tell as many people as possible and make their relationship official in whatever way they can. i think that could cause a bit of friction between them because michaela could be overly pragmatic about love and dismiss fran’s desire to be more public, but it will come from michaela experiencing years of emotional repression and rejection. i think it will be so beautiful to see michaela feel like she is unapologetically accepted by the remaining stirlings and the bridgerton family because she never imagined anyone but john knowing her deepest desires.

i just cannot wait to see this multifaceted character develop next season and i really hope they focus on her enough to really build her character and her internal conflict. but yeah, what does everyone hope to see for michaela’s plot next season?

Same, John was the one who wncouraged Michaela to be herself and travel, of course, accompanied by chaperones, but now with him gone Michaela loses that protection and as the new Head of the Stirling Household she will be expected to keep the line alive

I wanna see more of Michaela's pov, like her friendships and how she views the world and hopefully we will finally see it in S5

Personally having never read the Bridgerton books I just keep getting more and more turned off by Michael with every new thing I hear about him because wdym he was openly flirting with Francesca in John’s house BEFORE John’s death?! Our Michaela would NEVER. This woman was saying things like “he is secure because he has you” she thinks world of them both but some people would prefer Fran saying “tell me something wicked” to her husband’s cousin while her husband is hanging out in the room? But this scenario, a lesbian awakening, weakens John and Francesca’s love MORE?

What's his face was not a good man. To actively flirt with your cousin's wife is appalling (I say this as I read toxic Franchaela fics where they cheat). But our Michaela has proven to be far more caring person.

Michaela loves John so much that she put his needs before her own. The guilt of loving Francesca was literally eating her alive.

Modern day Franchaela definitely would have emotionally cheated after a while if they managed to fight the physical attraction. But Regency Franchaela, especially our naive Francesca, would have taken YEARS for things to progress to full blown cheating if John had survived.

This version of Francesca's story where she's not a cheater but instead finding the real version of herself. It just so happens that the real Francesca is a raging Lesbian with eyes for a feisty lady that's barely two apples tall 🥹

Her so smol 😍
