I never understood this mentality that people only care about an issue unless it affects them. People are so quick to put down people who are crying out for help (one example is Palestinian fundraisers). How can someone, or even a lot of people in our society, be so goddamn heartless? What makes you so special over everyone else? News flash.. you’re not. I hope one of Trumps nazi supporters one day needs help and everyone laughs at them like they did the Palestinian, Jewish, disabled, etc
Grow some humanity.
I haven't got to watch part 2 of Bridgerton but oh boy what I'm seeing.
Please free my girl Eloise from the Bridgerton writer RIGHT NOW.
^How I am currently, waiting for the right moment to drop my new post and brigerton rewrite
Ok first : disclaimer, I have read the book, ok angry Michael fan ? I have read the book, I read all of them.
You can guess where my thought is going : it definitely could work.
There's just something about Francesca being startled by Michaela but quickly stuffing those feelings down. She's a married woman and she DOES love John, in some way.
And then when she need Michaela the most, she vanished. (And maybe married to have a baby with some lord for the succession ?... To think about)
Then she comes back and Francesca starts to feel things but no she can't. It's John's cousin for heaven's sake she's betraying John again, she tried to have a child with him !!!She wants children, you need a man for children.
And it's wrong she's a woman, a lady. She always followed societal rules she does NOT like women. She is different enough, she doesn't need something else.
Then there's Michaela. She always liked Francesca, from the moment she saw her.
But it's impossible, she's John's wife, her almost brother's wife.
Francesca is a good woman she likes following the rules, she wants children, she's a perfect lady. No way she is like Michaela, attracted to girls.
And getting with her isn't just betraying John, it's betraying Francesca. She's already cast away from society, she wants children and she deserves it. John would want her happy and no way is Michaela going to make this impossible.
I've also seen people being worried because John was supposed to be Francesca's first love. But he can still be, sure she has a spark for Michaela but nothing more. John and her have a connection something deep, that's going to leave a real hole in her life.
And if anything worries about sex scene you can have consensual sex even if one isn't into it (an example that strikes me is in “The day of a fallen night” which is the most interesting, on a writing level, sex scene I've read)
Dear Cressida,
you will NOT guess what is happening in the ton.
Dear Cressida,
I know that my talents at founding gossip do not exceeds yours but I think you'll love what I heard at the Featherington bal.
Deat Cressida,
if you had a brother what would you do if you thought he was falling for a maid ? No I am not talking about-
And you slowly see the tension builds as Cressida doesn't care about the gossip she wants to hear about ELOISE thus making a slow transition were in the end we haven't goy any gossip anymore.
We do not see much politics in the Bridgertons but as sexism exist you cannot brush over or make racism disapear in what 40 years ? I try to be sensible about but as I am a white individual I might make mistake and apologise if so and will correct it.
At first we would still keep the same hierarchy of power than the one in real life and, I assume, in the show.
Secondly let's talk about THE thing that changes everything in the Bridgertons : the Great experiment.
The Great experiment appeared for the same reason than show in Queen Charlotte but it's a bit more subtle. It was introduced mostly so Charlotte could marry the king George but never did the royal councils intended to actually give more power to the "other side" of the society. Even if people could now get invited and participate in activity didn't mean they'd be invited or treated well.
Queen Charlotte is actually the one who shacked things up, after mostly focusing on her marriage at first she slowly woke up and saw that despise what was said her own were still being rejected and treaded unfairly. By attending Lady Danbury ball, she shoke things up. When some titles were left without any heir she would think first of giving it to the "other side" (that's how Simon's dad became Duke) etc.
Even thought the Queen Charlotte promoted tolerance things didn't completely work out that way. The "original" Ton felt jealous and left alone and while they couldn't reject the other side at the more little scandal possible they would directly reject a familly. And while young did marry racized Lord it was almost UNFATHOMABLE that an eligible white Lord would marry a girl of colour. It got a little better but there is still a lot of pression on racized people. A few Lord did actually mary girls from the "other side" the most known one being St-Clair, Abernathy and the Sterlings leaving a lot of preassure on their children because they represent this new kind of union and must be perfect. So it is a big deal that so many of the Bridgertons will have union with people of the other side as they are one of the most old and respected familly.
First Felon is building a concentration camp at Guantanamo, Cuba.
It had a previous capacity of 800, but First Felon wants to increase to 30,000.
This is a call to action.
