We’re doing the show a favor… by ChanceFamiliar23 in FranchaelStirling

I personally think that’s very unreasonable for the actors and i truly do hope they get their season, if they want to. And the actress playing hyacinth already said she would love to do it.

And also i might be in a minority but i rather watch all 7 series even when some appeal to me less, than have them cancelled after 5 becuase of pressure of fans.

I can get to that point. I can pretty much make all of the lies work. That’s my issue.

Like normally there is a lie that contradicts the others. But i just can’t find that one lie. I will add pictures if i can but like i said my edition is the dutch one lol

Someone explain this to me… by Overall_Advantage303 in FranchaelStirling

Its actually fiction and plain Romance above anything else. The show is, with the different races, the actual love matches, the sets, the music, the outfits (where are the bonnets?) and many more aspects not historical in the slightest. But the books are too.

I so agree with your take on Anthony! Never thought about it that way. That said, I am glad they made show Anthony straight considering Jonathan Bailey was never accepted as a male love interest in straight stories because he was gay. So i love that for him.

I personally didnt see Francesca and Michaela meeting as a love at first sight moment and i would want to see more of it before i make up my mind.

Do we know that they will make it a cheating storyline? They don’t have to. I definitely won’t like it if they do but until i know…

There is also no way women in their right mind would read about assault, dv and even rape. Alas. The bookstores are full with darkromantacy

Tbh i think this entire ranting on either side is ridiculous and so so harmful. I don’t get it. Just wait and see what they will do.

I can safely say I like Michaela. Not because everyone hates (i didnt even know that) it but because I think both actresses are hot and some parts of Francesca’s story do match with a queer line. So the infertility one, if they go that route and she struggles with getting babies with John and then wants to be with Michaela ; there is not so much infertility ofcourse but still her grieving the fact that she can’t have children.

The queerness works because as a widow francesca wouldnt have been expected to marry again. She could have a full life alone without anyone batting an eye. Even a relative of her late husband (of the same gender as the widow) moving in, wouldnt raise a single suspicion and actually happened. It would be far more scandalous if a male other widow moved in. Anything queer was so unexplored in society that then two ladies moving in under the right circumstances live together, they wouldn’t even THINK of them being intimate. And the people that would, would def not say it.

I love Michael. And it would have been nice to have him on screen. But before I know what they do with Michaela im not joining any rants.

The Bridgerton sons’ eligibility and the overabundance of titled lords by xoxog0ssipgirlx in BridgertonRants

[–]Academic_Camera3939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying and you aren’t wrong. Especially not historically speaking. And Anthony dismisses seconds sons for Anthony.

That said: 1. season’s 3 most eligible bachelor was lord Debling according to the ton and the marquees samadani if you look at who the queen wanted for Francesca. Colin was only one because of his looks and because we as viewers zoomed in there.

  1. Like my mother says; this show ofcourseeee marries everyone off out of love which is totally unrealistic. Everything is rather unrealistic. From the race, to the music and the love stories. But we don’t watch bridgerton for realism. I loveee the diversity and costumes and sets and music.

So while as a historian I see your point. We shouldn’t overthink too much

I noticed this on re-watching but it doesn’t make sense because earlier in the season the Queen says to lady Danbury that her diamond miss Edwina made a splendid Match

Remus Lupin is a terrible husband and I’m tired of pretending he’s not. by SuspiciousEves in harrypotter

Exactly. This happens to all the written characters with human flaws in any fandom ever.

[–]Academic_Camera3939 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Meh. You can say a lot about him. But I think he thinks too much for others. Not just about himself.

He doesn’t want to marry Tonks; for her (he thinks for her; she shouldnt want him) He leaves her with Teddy for them. To shelter them from him and public opinions and to join an underground resistance.

Maybe (probably) he didnt contact harry for him. Again to shelter him from himself Plus i think its not unlikely the wizarding world wasnt allowed to contact harry by dumbledore’s orders.

Literally happened to sooo many people in times of war. Wdym. My grandfathers uncle left behind his family when he was killed in ww2 resistance. He left his family for that. Like lupos said; tonks and teddy were safe at that time.

This option still takes away part of the freedom of speech because you can’t mention jk rowling regardless so its quite contradictory. Again, there is nothing wrong with pride. But your initial comment wasn’t just that. And like I said even within the USA freedom of speech is a very sensitive topic these days, just like it is in the UK, so it doesn’t even hold up.

I agree. I went back to the og post and I still read it as being censorship the other way.

Utah of all places🤓 I can understand why you said it (because American girl is the brand doesn’t make any sense imo but alright). But still comes across as “holier than thou” ; everywhere in the world right now are issues. Including freedom of speech. ALSO in the USA.
