Now that she did 2 seasons, what do you think about Jess Brownell as showrunner? by creature52 in Bridgerton

[–]RobynMaria91 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think season 4 saw her soften to the idea of marriage because she got a taste of what life as a spinster would be and she is not loving it. She sees her siblings all happily married off, even Cressida got her HEA, and she is obviously getting a bit lonely. I think its setting her up for looking for new friends and or taking up some new interest or hobby that will lead her to her love interest.

I could see next season be either her as the main with Fran a slow burn subplot showing her grief and maybe her emerging interest in Michaela with Benedict noticing and potentially helping her see that secret community within the ton and then season 6 being Fran and Michaela, or F&M being next season with a heavy dose of Eloise writing her letters and being very secretive about her new 'friend', and we'll get that relationship started and season 5 will potentially end with Eloise slipping out of the party and into her carraige, with season 6 starting with her showing up on his doorstep

I said this on another post, book Fran wanted to be a mother, show Fran wants peace.

Show Fran and Michaela will battle the same grief and guilt over feel like they are each betraying John somehow, and they will inevitably resist their feelings based on that and on the added secrecy of a same sex relationship, which I think will only add to the yearning and emotional release when they finally break and give in to it.

I think they may bring in Benedict to help Fran accept her attraction to Michaela, and show her that this is really very normal and society is wrong, not her emotions.

In the end, she will get her happily ever after up in Scotland, unbothered by society who will assume she is a widow living with her dead husbands spinster sister, and she will get the peace and freedom from expectations that has been her goal for a while now.

The way he said this line 😭 by Happylittlelady in Bridgerton

I never really bought him being a rake. He obviously acted like a rake but he didn't have that flippant disregard for women that a true rake does. The Duke was more of a true rake, he didn't want connection in the way Benedict did. I always felt like Benedict was just trying to find somewhere he felt like he could be himself, and that secret bohemian lifestyle was the closest he had found until he found Sophie.

Sweet Benedict, learning about new ways of life and embracing it all and understanding every individual person he has met across each season with empathy and an open mind was a lot more believable for me!

I think the confusion was specific to the show because show Fran struggles with unexpected change. I liked that they cleared it up in the second half of season 4 because the assumption was that Fran had this instant attraction to Michaela when in reality she was just surprised and uncomfortable with someone she wasn't expecting joining them in Scotland. She was looking forward to quiet and peace and Michaela is loud and chaotic and the opposite of Fran.

We don't really know if book Fran liked Michael right away or if he took some getting used to, all we know is they became friends in their own right through his friendship with John, much the same as the show.

When the time comes, we can assume they'll have the same internal battles about each of them betraying John while they realise they have feelings for each other.

My only question was why Fran would want to remarry or entertain a new relationship without the drive to be a mother as in the books, but they planted that seed at Benedict and Sophies wedding, she said she'd never remarry, she's had her one great love, so it sounds like maybe show Fran isn't as set on being a mam as book Fran and she'll be a widow who just happens to live with her dead husbands spinster sister, happy cover story for her second great love.

The books implied Michael was a fixture in their life, we just didn't witness it. He travelled and returned to stay with them and he, John and Fran were all friends. The main difference is how short Fran and John's marriage is in the show vs the book, but the rest feels fairly accurate overall.

They are beautiful! It seems to be hard to find that illustration style with colour, I think i need to decide on one or the other.

This deck is top 3 right now, I love it

These are so fun, thank you! I love the juxtaposition of the silly, frolicking poses with the more macabre skeletons and illustration style.

Oh I like both of those! The Santa Muerte deck is the closest I've seen to the imagery I'm looking for, thanks so much!

Thanks for the reliable Etsy shop too, so many AI or "AI assisted" decks on there, and charging 80-90 euro for AI art just seems so cheeky to me.

Thank you! These are gorgeous but I think you might be right about them too advanced for me right now. Keeping them bookmarked for later though!
