Me, not only being annoyed that they changed Michael to Michaela, but also that Francesca seems to directly have a thing for her when for fuck's sake it's supposed to be the other way around. Fran is not supposed to view Michael as anything other than a friend while John is alive. Not to mention the fact that Fran didn't seem to really enjoy her kiss with John ? Is it just me who feels this way ? Not only do they change the gender of my favorite male character in the books, but they completely change the main meaning of the romance. Principle of second chance ? Lose your true love and find a new one ? Love with equality but not in the same way ? And you're telling me that Fran already seems to have a thing for Michaela ?! Serious ?! And in the meantime I haven't calculated anything on the part of Michaela who should have normally fallen in love at first sight. Well... I think I'll get out my copy of WHWW and re-read it for my sanity.

No, but are you sick of people accusing everyone who isn't comfortable with Michael's gender change of being queerphobic (whether it's being assumed or internalized by the way) ?!

Yes, there are bastards like that !

But not everyone who hasn't really figured out how to deal with the case of MICHAELA Stirling is necessarily fucking queerphobic...

You have to calm down.

We can simply have a deep affection for this fictional male character that we have imagined for years.

Is it at least understandable anyway ?! Or is that too absurd for you ?!

actually hilarious that colin bridgerton returned to london absolutely determined to be in his slut era. he said if there is one thing i am it is a whore. and then one (1) kiss with penelope later he was like neverMIND i am a MARRIED MAN i am MONOGAMOUS life is about LIFELONG PARTNERSHIP ACTUALLY

I'm sorry, I will never truly get over how Colin looks so longingly and yearningly at Pen in the distance when she's talking to Debling at the Balloon Faire that he has to eat the same cake she did to taste her in his mouth

and is so pressed about the fact that she's talking to some other dude instead of him that he's doing the regency equivalent of 'I don't fucking like that guy, come roast him with me' to his buddies

but the WHOLE time this is the conversation Penelope is having with that man

and then almost gets killed by a BALLOON traveling at 0.25 kilometers an hour because she becomes afflicted by The Horny(tm) when she sees Colin Bridgerton's arms as he runs to save her

these two are so unserious and double down bad for each other, I love them with all my heart

People: Why the hell is Colin pretending to be a rake? That’s so icky. That’s so not him. What ever could be the reason?!

Season One:

Colin: I’m a man in love and I want to get married. 🥰😍

Anthony: You’re so green. Is this about wetting your wick? 🙄

Season Two:

Colin: I’m a man who wants to find my way in the world. I want to invest. 😁💪

Anthony: What the hell do you think you’re doing?! 😡❌

Season Three:

Colin: I’ve changed my entire personality. Women love me. Men are envious of me. People think this version of me is so fun. 😎🪭😕

Anthony: I invited you for a drink to congratulate you on your many admirers! You’re a man! 🥳🎉

Colin’s character is the perfect study of the pressures of masculinity and external/societal validation.

the way people seem to be purposefully misunderstanding the addition of two (2) scenes in which colin is having a threesome like. he’s traveled all around the world in order to find himself and maybe it worked but not to extent he’d hoped for. he comes back and then plays the part society expects of him - rakish rogue - because he thinks that will help him feel fulfilled. and in that sense, what could be more “manly” than getting with two women at once? juxtaposing that first scene with the second in ep 4, it’s so clear that we’re meant to understand the reasons why he goes there are fickle and not what he truly wants. that’s why he’s so desperate to go after penelope!!! when he understands what he values and what about him is truly worthy he immediately wants to go after her because after all he’s always valued her even when he couldn’t see it. he went everywhere else literally to find his meaning at home, literally - within himself and with the person he’s always been closest to. “he was at the brothel” is not the gotcha you think it is!!!

I admire show!Colin's strength to hold out "weeks" between kissing Penelope upon her request and compromising her in a carriage before proposing, because book!Colin didn't even last 4 days.

Either way, it is asolutely unhinged, positively feral man behavior.
