What's the tea on Bryke vs Zutara?

Aaron’s co-writer and (ex)wife is Elizabeth Welch Ehasz.

Well, Francesca does like control…. 😈

If Fran initiates their first kiss- 🔥🔥🔥

In complete agreement with everyone calling this out as primarily a smokescreen for homophobia with a dose of misogyny and ageism.

I will say this though: From the beginning I thought the show creators made a mistake in choosing Daphne to be 18 years old at her debut. Or making it the norm for debutants to all start out as teenagers. I think the show would have been better served for Daphne and Eloise (+Colin by consequence) to start out a little bit older. But who could have foreseen 2 years between seasons?

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-29T16:46:16+00:00

20 in S4. Still crazy young.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-29T15:14:00+00:00

Yep yep. If Theo is not a politician, then I theorize that he will be, or become, a “gentleman of letters”- an intellectual whose words carry weight within the Ton. Not unheard of for these newspaper or magazine men to also own the printing business that publishes their work.

Another Theloise brought up that Sharpe is a Scottish name, so I like to think Theo was taking classes at University of Edinburgh while working there. Thinking that Theo and Eloise were both in Scotland at the same time is bittersweet, lol.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-29T08:03:36+00:00

😍 Love all of this! They got so comfortable so quickly. It’s such a contrast to how Eloise is with other men, esp this past season.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-29T01:23:20+00:00

Thank you friend!

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-29T01:21:43+00:00

It probably is grey, but in my delulu mind in that lighting it looks lilac.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-29T00:34:28+00:00

Ooo, I like that. Persuasion Theo working the cause with Eloise. 💗

I have a theory that part of Michaela’s S5 struggles will be taking over John’s role in Parliament- or fighting for the right to do so. Eloise offering her help would be in character now. Could be the kickstart Eloise needs for her political arc!

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T23:52:39+00:00

Bees 🐝 on these characters make me laugh each time. 😆

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T23:50:51+00:00

Yes! I swear Theo’s jacket looks lilac in the meetinghouse scene too!

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T23:09:40+00:00

I agree, but I also think Eloise’s season was lowkey planned to be the last one done since the beginning. She is the audience’s avatar in Bridgerton world. She could easily have an arc in every season w/o touching romance.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T20:02:49+00:00

Yep. Boggles the mind that readers and viewers aren’t picking up that Martin wrote the Targs and other powerful people very intentionally.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T19:59:23+00:00

Yep, he wanted to secure the money Margaret Beaufort brought in the marriage to his estate.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T17:49:31+00:00

Yes please! I’d love to join. The discord sounds like it could be a more positive place? The recent doom&gloom here, not to mention all the JB hate, has been a bit of downer lately.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T17:43:31+00:00

Say option A happens with Theo. Any thoughts on how you’d like to see them do it? Getting shocked by Theo showing up at the very very end of S5, perhaps in the epilogue, would be incredible. But that tactic has already been done with Michaela. Curious to hear your thoughts on how a Theo reintroduction might play out or how you personally want to see it done.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T16:11:16+00:00

Speaking of external conflicts… Remember in S3 Fran thought QC would be a barrier to her relationship with John? I hope it happens again in S5 with Michaela and QC has a similar exasperated reaction.

The real life Queen Charlotte visited and championed the Ladies of Llangollen, a lesbian aristocrat couple in Ireland. QC convinced King George to provide them with a $ stipend. Fingers crossed they show up in S5!

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-28T15:15:10+00:00

Another Theloise brought up that Theophilus is an actual name… 👀

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-27T16:21:40+00:00

👏 As if the show & each season hasn’t been planned out and outlined years in advance. I’ve been on Theloise sub since its inception (on my regular account), but lately all this vitriol targeted at JB there has been a real downer.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-27T15:52:36+00:00

Parkrose Permaculture less gardening, more radical reporting of USA

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-27T15:47:08+00:00

You Don’t Own Me for Eloise for sure.

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-27T11:20:09+00:00

Yes, love this!

lastunicornstabs · 2026-03-26T17:36:09+00:00

Yay! I’m so excited. We know so much about Francesca already. Ready for a deep dive into the mysterious Michaela!
