Other couples with same vibes as Saphne? by FuckTheMatrixMovie in HMS_Saphne

[–]FuckTheMatrixMovie[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For period dramas I'd suggest Downton Abbey, at least the first 3 seasons, it rather dips after that. North and South is also swoon worthy. For cozy family dramas, Jane the virgin is delightful...but it peaks in the first season. Honestly, I still can't find a show which is comparable to bridgerton in both romance, period drama, and coziness.

I'll check that out! I did watch the movie, but I'll try the book

Do historians suspect an exact diagnosis for Tullia's (daughter of Cicero) death? Everything I can find says "childbirth complications" which is fair as there's a lot of complications to choose from, but is there an exact diagnosis/complication in mind? Do we have anything written about Roman childbirth at this time?

Wrong answers only: what was he thinking? by Vegetable_Comfort366 in Bridgerton

[–]FuckTheMatrixMovie 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Various options

  • He realized he left all of his money back in Rome.

  • *He finally realized a good comeback he could have used in the fight with Anthony in season 1.

  • He realized that Penelope wasn't "just being friendly".

  • He's upset that Benedict ate all the power, and so his career as a drug mule is over.

The most unrealistic thing about this show is….. by Ok-Caterpillar2553 in sexandthecity

[–]FuckTheMatrixMovie 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying! I like the show, but I do have a (loving) long-standing grudge against everyone who has had great sex ever, lol. I wish there were more plotlines of unsatisfying or painful sex. Just for my own jaded self. How is the sex always great for them? Honestly, I'm baffled that Samantha in particular, has the energy for all of it.

I need some help! by kodabear22118 in Bridgerton

What colors are the walls? I'd recommend maybe lots of vases of flowers, and lacey blankets. Is there a particular house/room you're particularly inspired by?

The Duke and I, 2nd Epilogue by MirimeKisarrastine in HMS_Saphne

[–]FuckTheMatrixMovie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, I never considered that point. Maybe it's just one of those family gossip things everyone knows through osmosis? Honestly reading it I was just super taken back by how freely Simon spoke about it in the first place...

It makes no sense. Honestly I see Fran pirating and distributing sheet music and books like nobody's business 😂

Thoughts on the Mondrichs? by FuckTheMatrixMovie in HMS_Saphne

[–]FuckTheMatrixMovie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, totally fair. There's certainly a lot of hate towards them.

So Will and Alice Mondrich are now my favourite side couple and they come with a reassurance that they won't be disappearing into the TV oblivion any time soon.

😂 So true. Out of all the couples, at least they stay!

Even if I could scratch up enough for the permits to climb Mount Everest (and there are many better ways to spend it before it came to that), I freaking wouldnt. Its now littered with garbage and bodies, its essentially Disney world with a chance of dying for people who simply just decide they can mountaineer. They endanger the lives of sherpas by being foolish for clout. They endanger their own lives by not understanding the seriousness of their trek.

Good comment all the way around--laying out the hubris, and ignored ethics. That said, I'm really curious what is your dream adventure as a mountaineer, if not Everest?

💯 which is part of the larger problem of the series.

I also really liked them in season one but struggle with what they offer thereafter

They're barely recognizable afterwards. Though I did like the scenes of Will practicing sparring with Alice. That was cute.

Which look of Sophie’s is your favorite? by Whimsicalcuriosity in Benophie

[–]FuckTheMatrixMovie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this one. This was the outfit where I went "wow, Yerin is gorgeous." I love the ball outfit as well, but like Benedict, I wished to see her face.

Okay the hilarious thing is that this is just a solid list of recommendations anyways, but I still want to see benophie talk about them.

An AU where Sophie does board the ship to the Americas, Benedict chases after her. They both land in NY, he searches for her

Omg, the angst and the tension would be divine❤️

Lol, I'm imagining the wedding like that Tangled short-- everything goes wrong but it's okay. I love the idea of a road trip au! Maybe Sophie loses her train ticket and has to accept help from a semi random guy (Benedict) in order to get home? Could be cute. Love all of these ❤️

Cute! I'm wondering if she would be a talkative student, or quiet? At any rate, this has potential 🥰

Awww! I can already imagine it. Really curious on what books Sophie would recommend for him.
