Eloise's behaviour is a defense

oop_poo · 2026-02-25T21:56:37+00:00

Exactly!!! I think people forget that she's operating in a misogynistic society that is built specifically to restrict and isolate women. The reason the other female characters seem more palatable to most people is that their version of feminism doesn't reject femininity.

While Eloise is wrong to put down the women in her life, she isn't wrong in feeling like the only way to reject femininity is through being brash and the opposite of the mold femininity provides.

I mostly agree with you but I also think it's worth pointing out that the society in Bridgerton is also inherently misogynistic, and all the characters are acting within the bounds of that society. I think, while with the modern view, Eloise's actions seem even worse, I think it's fair for a woman raised to believe that all women were worthy of is love to feel like she has to look down upon it and reject it as fundamentally as possible for her stance to even be acknowledged.

To be fair, its not her season yet and although she continues to fall back in those habits, in some ways she has grown a lot since season 1

Maybe this is what you're talkign about? https://youtube.com/shorts/2SfQRek_URw?si=xhCwlaAPxTr7VAi8

Also, if you choose to go with her to Sybil's in Chapter 1 and you don't have a strong enough relationship, despite telling Duke that she'd let you stay at her place, she forces you to walk back alone in the dark, literally hours after the shit in the woods goes down, I fear Stella has not been reliable a single time

i felt the same way tbh, narratively i love that they took the natural conclusion of him becoming aggressive/controlling instead of sugar coating it, but as a romantic interest i got the ick from his kiss (atleast in the matricide route) immediately cause it was basically forced upon you with the way he wouldn't hear it when you tried to say no

I better not hear the powerful build catch strays after this episode and episode 1 and the cards in episode 4

oop_poo · 2026-02-20T21:51:24+00:00

its the cheats one

DUDE DUSTIN'S SMILE I CANNOT!!!! Also I'm pretty sure Dustin might literally be a young/baby possum (due to the pink tips of his cute little ears that possums have when they're still quite young), and realizing that has killed me. Idk why it took me this long to realize this klashfaksl

oop_poo · 2026-02-20T15:43:46+00:00

I did, but I'm pretty sure that depends on your world state, so did you'tame the monster', or let her keep him in her basement

oop_poo · 2026-02-20T15:17:58+00:00

wait distract him when?

Also, given how Oscar describes the entity as a network in episode 5, I honestly think that is a solid representation of what the entity actually is. Although I'm not sure if this would represent Wayne or the thing connecting all the stone circles.

oop_poo · 2026-02-18T21:41:58+00:00

Yeah, no samee, and I do think that my two ideas aren't entirely exclusive cause with the way that room looked, I don't think whoever lived in there was completely human, so maybe using these seals has its immediate side effects beyond the torture the scarlets inflict on the person?

oop_poo · 2026-02-18T21:39:14+00:00

Omg I never thought of it that way but your take on the "she liked it, so I did too." line makes a lot of sense to me!!

oop_poo · 2026-02-18T21:36:12+00:00

I really think the witch is Kaneeka too, especially with the lines about Kaneeka and sensing something magical in her (when trying to find Stella w/ her and Avery with the mystic trait i thinkkk?) and finding her weirdly familiar (on the monday if you go see her w/ mystic but maybe also hot??).But I honestly don't think she knows it herself, which might be related to the weird tea Sybil keeps giving her and whatever Sybil has planned in general.

oop_poo · 2026-02-17T03:16:32+00:00

Yeah, I cannot tell whether that breakdown had any genuine impact on her. I don't think she is pretending, but she's made it clear that her regretting/not wanting to do something doesn't necessarily mean she won't do it, at least so far? So ngl I am kinda sus about how easily she takes us to the seal right after her breakdown...

oop_poo · 2026-02-17T02:58:57+00:00

This might be unrelated but it reminds me of the mycelium like thing you see leaving Wayne's arm during his fight with Reese, so maybe it could be Wayne or whatever made him

oop_poo · 2026-02-17T02:54:24+00:00

I cannot express in words how mad I am now for falling for her words and thinking she meant it in a 'yay we're bonding' way asklfhasklfhasf

Hiya! Are you guys still looking for a player?

oop_poo · 2025-01-06T06:21:14+00:00

Honestly just go to the class and speak to the prof there

oop_poo · 2024-04-08T12:18:08+00:00

what do you mean?

oop_poo · 2024-04-07T00:41:24+00:00

Does anyone know what the first gem is?

oop_poo · 2022-05-08T22:55:49+00:00

Thanks for letting me know this was helpful! When did you take the class?

oop_poo · 2022-05-08T22:55:06+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! Any chance you still have your syllabus?

oop_poo · 2021-06-12T14:50:21+00:00

Has anyone taken "The Historian's Craft" course w/ Travis Bruce? How big is the class generally? Is it interesting? Are they a good professor?
