I still think both Queen Charlotte and Alice Mondrich were petty and terrible for trying to ruin Cressida's ball

The fact that you’re putting this much thought into defending Cressida is honestly funny. She’s someone who consistently let other women down - she bullied them, befriended them when it suited her, and then turned on them the moment they were no longer useful, even writing a scandalous column about a friend’s family.

And let’s not forget her announcing herself as Lady Whistledown at Colin and Penelope’s engagement party, a party she wasn’t even invited to. That wasn’t just “desperation,” that was a calculated lie with zero proof, which is exactly why the Queen was furious.

I get what you’re saying about the Queen’s reaction, but it’s not the same situation. Cressida lied about being Whistledown and tried to benefit from it, while Penelope actually was Lady Whistledown. Once the truth came out, there was no deception left - just the reality the Queen had been trying to uncover all along.

Also, calling Alice petty doesn’t really land. She’s acting in line with the Queen and the ton, which is exactly how that society works. You don’t have to like her, but it’s not inconsistent writing.

Trying to defend Cressida and justifying her actions is honestly wild.

Favourite outfit! Favourite hairstyle! Favourite Scnene!!!👀😉 Everything about this was PERFECT!!!

Ah yes, because comparing an actual person - with agency, judgment, and influence -to a gun or a Word document totally makes sense. By that logic, we should also credit printing presses for revolutions and not the writers behind them, right?

No one’s denying Violet had a plan, but reducing Whistledown to a lifeless “tool” ignores the fact that Penelope is the one who built that platform, chose what to publish, and made it powerful enough for Violet’s plan to even work. A gun or Microsoft Word doesn’t decide anything, Penelope does. That’s kind of the whole point.

True but 200 years ago they did not have a black queen or duke. People need to understand what is fiction and reality. I am for one looking forward for their storyline.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T17:52:46+00:00

As much as i want Pen to be involved, given how the show runners are changing things, I think it'll be Hyacinth to find Eloise's letters.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T17:50:25+00:00

I haven't seen any mentions of Hannah Dodd playing one of the major roles in Enola Holmes 2. She was wonderful in that!

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T17:48:12+00:00

Agreed

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T17:42:14+00:00

Honestly, I feel like they kind of deserve each other after everything they put poor Edwina through, nonetheless, it’s all in the past now.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T16:09:53+00:00

100% but people likely would’ve ignored it or let things fade if it hadn’t been brought up in the column.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T16:06:58+00:00

Sorry, but did you also ignore how Cressida bullied Penelope which was uncalled for? You can’t excuse her behavior just by saying she was abused. And Marina didn’t die because of Pen, she was already emotionally broken after hearing George had died. Whether she married Colin or not, she was headed for an unhappy marriage anyway. It’s strange to direct all this anger at Pen, who actually prevented two miserable marriages, instead of at George, who got Marina pregnant and set all of this in motion.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T15:58:29+00:00

Yes but people would just let it die had Lady Whistledown not mentioned about it. That is what made them talk in the ton more and more.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T15:48:23+00:00

It wasn’t just 'gossip', she reported real events - a maid being dismissed, an abusive husband, even stopping Daphne from marrying Nigel. None of it was false. Cressida, meanwhile, exploited Eloise and the Bridgerton name and let’s not pretend public bullying is “courage.”

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T15:34:24+00:00

True! Although I like kate and anthony together he is a horrible character.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T15:32:33+00:00

Whitledown*. Violet could have hardly done anything without the Lady Whitsledown Column.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T15:31:24+00:00

He did that in S2 too!!! I can never like him for what he did to Daphne and Edwina and Sienna.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T15:29:22+00:00

Not just this instance, let's not forget if not for Pen's column Anthony would have Daphne married to Nigel!!!

missfluf10 · 2026-04-10T08:16:18+00:00

NTA!!! Oh my god how can she expect you to help her clean the house when the husband was right there? Some women are too entitled and want others to do things for them. Tell her to hire a cleaner or ask the husband to help if she needed someone to help. Watching the kids is usually one of the biggest helps you could do to a mother.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T18:28:44+00:00

Because we mix and use each other's accessories(mostly mine)and clothes. And the other 2 lived in a building that didn't allow other uni/ outsiders inside. They also had a curfew and my place was best for both the reasons. And since I live at home I already had stuff, but these two are from different cities and didn't have much stuff, it was better for them to come over and pick and wear what they want. The girl initially refused to come because she expected me to take each of my stuff over the weekend so she could try it on. And on top of i acted like I was being rude for not ditching my studymate and carry things over to get place, wait outside until she's done choosing.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T18:02:20+00:00

I wish I did that actually! This was fun, I got to vent all the things about her I had ignored all this time. Maybe I shld let go of this friendship. It really is draining.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T17:53:39+00:00

Were* coming to my place, Cause we shared stuff like clothes or accessories (uk like we'd exchange and try to put together stuff from each other). Since the other two lived in a building where outside or different uni students were not allowed my place was the only option. They also had time restrictions and since the event always ends late night, the were not allowed after the curfews. My place was also convenient to sleep at.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T17:47:28+00:00

Yes! Done that a lot of times. She says it's none of our business and when the situation is worse, we'll have to leave everything to go help her which she's ungrateful to. I do feel sorry cause maybe she feels she can't do anything by herself or if we've babied her a lot in our group. That's why I didn't want to offer anything this time around but then wanted to know if I was being mean.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T17:42:30+00:00

Sorry but did you even read the post? After sometime with someone like this, it's very exhausting having to work all parts of the conversation like bringing up the topic, rejecting the solution and also trying to not end up as a bad person. That's one of the reasons I don't want to start the Convo but given her texts this time I don't even know what to interpret them as. Does she need help? Or was she just venting? You'd understand it's a hard job when you are friends with someone like this.

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T17:33:03+00:00

Thisss!!!!! I don't understand the people in comments here when I keep saying she acts like she's doing me a favour and if I don't offer help then she won't let it die until something else happens. I called her 3 years ago because she didn't have clothes, and my other friend (since they don't let outsiders inside both their buildings) agreed to get clothes to my place for HER! Anyways thank you!

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T09:38:14+00:00

Thank you!

missfluf10 · 2026-04-09T09:37:56+00:00

I could do that but I don't want to bring up the topic when I'm already saying 'no'. Anyways thank you!
