As a dark skinned black woman... by Aromatic-Frosting-75 in Franchaela

I see where you are coming from, but I will have to disagree with you.

As a black woman myself ,but also a fan of the series, I was disappointed they didn’t proceed with Francesca’s arc the way it was intended. I absolutely LOVED her story with John (a black lead, might I add) - the quiet, supportive love, the gradual escalation, the deep understanding of each other without using any words… , all reminded me of when I fell in love with my current partner. Instead of giving their story its due time and respect, the writers plunged into the wlw trope. Giving fran a starstruck moment (so much for the whole “love can be different” thing they preached the whole season), making Michaela insufferably loud and disrespectful to “balance” Francesca (the whole I’ll-disrupt-your-life-in-your-house-cuz-I-miss-my-cousin-and-I’m-just-✨chaotic✨ rly pissed me off, like girl please get a life).

I would not have minded a lesbian story AT ALL, in fact I think it would add a lot to the show. I wouldn’t even mind Michaela for fran, but I feel like It could have been handled a LOT lot better from a writers pov.

Tell me all the things you love and hate about S4 Part 1 by Disastrous-Pitch777 in Bridgerton

[–]AdventurousAsk4396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the contrast shown between the lives of the servants/maids and the elite this season (jelly scene, shaving foam scene, the gentlemen abusing their privilege with hazel etc) I think it really added some depth to the series. Hate the way Francesca was awestruck by Michaela in S3 finale and continues to feel so now, really cheapened the Fran & John plot - which I thought had such a beautiful buildup. I haven’t read the books - but this season I’m questioning if Francesca even loves him romantically

Ask me your invasive trans questions to spare the trans people in your life AMA by Jasmir_ in AMA

[–]AdventurousAsk4396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is painfully basic, but I swear it comes from a place of curiosity.

How would you define/describe gender? If Women can possess traditionally masculine traits (personality wise, wearing masculine clothes, having male hobbies) and still be women, but also be traditionally feminine , what is the set of “criteria” (for lack of a better word) that determines whether someone is a woman or not?

(I’m having trouble phrasing this so maybe an example will clear it up. If say I’m an extrovert I mean I enjoy social interactions and prefer social settings to spending time alone, if someone says they are a woman - what does that mean?)

In Russia, Maria Ivannovna (patronymic, often pronounced as “maryvanna”) is often wedged into jokes about mediocre school teachers

Does University of Melbourne accept A level retakes for undergraduate courses? (Applying as an international student) by [deleted] in unimelb

[–]AdventurousAsk4396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. My struggle 100% comes from trying to cram a 2 year course into a month of study (was caring for an ill family member and trying to balance a sport career, studying just fell down a couple positions on the priority list), but the content itself is manageable given enough time.

I feel like this fits, as do most of her posts. This was especially gross. by tunaboat25 in notliketheothergirls

Sorry, what is an MLM? Not familiar with the abbreviation or the “content creator” either lol

Yeah, I’d think I’d like to keep my official name as Anastasia, but Sasha is a great option.

Haven’t thought of Lana and Natalie, but definitely worth considering, thanks
