i read nine bridgerton novels in seven days as an act of self loathing

"i dont even have a period, my virtue fought it off" THE WAY I CHOKED ON MY RICE

my alternative to the r*pe scene: simon gets caught up in the moment and doesn't pull out, he is frantic and upset. daphne is confused. she goes to ask rose how babies are made and their conflict begins. so simple. they really didn't have to include that scene, it really ruined daphne's character for me

i think the best way netflix could adapt book 4 is to keep almost everything the same except eloise k!lls philip at the end

I choose to acknowledge the difference between enemies-to-lovers and rivals-to-lovers.

I genuinely hope if we do get Sophie in the show, they have the line “Wow Sophie, you speak really well for a poor little rat girl” as she’s nibbling on fancy cheeses.

Am I the only one that thinks that there was like 0 need for the rape scene because they could have made Daphne pregnant (Because you know pulling out isn't an effective contraception), Daphne then confronting Simon, he admits he lied to her which makes her mad. Her being mad and him having to apologize would make way more sense in that version and you could have just as good of an ending with them coming together and saying they love each other and want to raise this child together and making up that way

I remember an interview that actress who played Penelope did a few years ago of her saying she wouldn't lose weight to play a character. So I'm hopeful that's a clear sign that the character Penelope won't lose weight by her season, and instead just gain a confidence boost from being able to wear more flattering colors.

There’s something so unsettling about the pictures of the steamy covers being juxtaposed with pictures of the kid actors 😂

I do appreciate that Bridgerton did cast an actually curvy actress for Penelope

how is no one talking about how julia looks like a literal goddess

"Do all male leads have daddy issues?" - me, thinking back of the two only romance books I read recently: yes.

honestly maybe I'm just That Bitch but I would love to see Penelope have a requited romance with someone other than Colin or Colin/Penelope gets triggered by jealousy. Maybe some handsome wealthy guy starts courting Penelope in her next season and Pen realises she doesn't have to tie her self-worth to her childhood crush. Like the attention of another man makes her see herself in a new light and Colin either misses his opportunity (or nearly misses his opportunity) with her when she ceases to pine for him. Also I am begging the show runners not to do that to Eloise oh my god/ Great video, thank youu for your sacrifice

I hope they change Eloise’s love interest (or not give her one at all) cause it would totally ruin her development. She’s so smart it’s delusional to think she’d settle for a misogynistic and self-absorbed man.

Julia is one of those YouTubers who doesn’t upload often, but when they do it’s worth the wait

"brain off, female gaze on" I did immediately pause the video and write that down on a sticky note because it made me laugh so hard

When they introduced the gay painter in the show I was convinced that they were going to do a Dorian Gray-esque storyline for Benedict. But alas, everything is just hyper straight

"Colourblind casting" that somehow only had like one Asian and one middle eastern person.

Young lady it is MY BEDTIME. How dare you upload a video of this quality and length at such an hour.

"wow sophie you speak really well for a poor little rat girl" is so goddamn funny

Coming back after season 2 and seeing that they fixed all the contrivances of The Viscount Who Loved Me and did VERY MUCH let that rivalry simmer makes me so happy. I also only remembered halfway through the show that instead of Kate calming Anthony down from his panic that in the book he was SUCKING ON HER THROAT.
