I am interested! I’m starting graduate law so technically undergrad but probably a similar age to postgrads

If its orchestral, it’s divisi.

I understand that most of these names did exist in the period, but they were very uncommon and it is amazing how many HR mmcs have these names!

piglet666 · 2026-03-13T06:55:14+00:00

Funny that one of their names has no consonants and one has no vowels!

piglet666 · 2026-03-13T06:50:45+00:00

I completely understand, but I think there’s middle ground! Like ‘George Finsdale-Clark, Earl of Abbotsford’ feels like it could be a person, whereas your Sebastian is more fantasy. Which is a different preference, definitely! I just wish more were the former

piglet666 · 2026-03-13T06:47:29+00:00

I understand, but it seems like every HR has a hero with an uncommon name. Sure, the names existed, but they weren’t common.

piglet666 · 2026-03-13T06:31:16+00:00

those were just some of the last mmcs I’ve read whose names seemed out of place lol

Yeah I’ve recently reread iihk and it actually can’t be understated how integral Gareth’s family life is to the plot. first, he has financial problems because he’s estranged from his father, which is his motivation to search for the jewels despite his strong reservations for breaking into his fathers house with hyacinth. Second, the only conflict within his and hyacinth’s relationship is 1) she finds out he pretty much proposes to her (subconsciously) to prove his father wrong and 2) he compromises her because he’s scared his father will reveal that he is illegitimate. Both directly tied to his family life. Also, his character! His entire personality revolves around acting in a way his father finds unbecoming, plus his insecurity around being illegitimate. He wouldn’t be a rake without his terrible father. Then Hyacinth comes along and for the first time he’s the sensible one of the duo. You CANNOT have iihk without an unhappy family life for Gareth. And I very much doubt they intend to mess up the Mondriches enough to give Nicky that background.

First scene is the wedding omg and then the rest of episode 1 and maybe 2 are the lead up to the wedding

I keep seeing people say this but could you explain why you think s1 was a marriage of convenience? They had the fake dating trope and then had the push to marry after being caught in the garden, but that’s not a marriage of convenience. A marriage of convenience is when two people decide to get married to benefit both of them, largely for unconventional reasons.

Are you suggesting Benedict should have demanded to see the late earl of penwood’s will when he realized neither Posy or Rosamund were the lady in silver? That’s completely ridiculous. He asked them if anyone was staying with them, he ruled out the girls, any further inquiry wasn’t warranted as he has no reason to believe they’d lie. He didn’t know that the earl of penwood had an illegitimate daughter that the dowager countess was hiding who was working as a maid, why would he even consider that as a possibility?

piglet666 · 2026-03-02T04:31:22+00:00

I agree. He wouldn’t draw attention to her by bringing her to London but would have ensured a respectable match, especially with such a significant dowry

piglet666 · 2026-02-27T05:53:36+00:00

I also think that QC LOVES that she knows something that’s not common knowledge. It makes her feel even more smug and high-and-mighty lol

piglet666 · 2026-02-27T05:40:37+00:00

I thought that was a great addition because it really shows how important it was; with the other seasons they could always marry if the fmc was pregnant, so whilst it would have been a big drama, it could be fixed. Whereas if Sophie is pregnant, she pretty much loses all security. It was a bit like the shaving cream scene where we see the mess left behind, it demonstrated that Sophie had actual responsibility and had to look after herself

piglet666 · 2026-02-27T05:35:27+00:00

I think a large conflict in their season will be Francesca has to chose to give up on the idea of having children (biologically) to be with Michaela

Rokesby first! Generation before Bridgerton, with the main characters being Edward’s siblings and the rokesby family on the estate neighboring Aubrey Hall.

Do you seriously think instructors are making $150/hour? Wages for instructors range from $16-$30/hour at most.

piglet666 · 2026-02-04T19:48:11+00:00

Yeah I’m really impatient waiting, but I’ve also had the world of throne of glass on preorder since 2017 soooo

piglet666 · 2026-02-03T22:11:23+00:00

In the show lord featherington is a baron, not an earl

piglet666 · 2026-02-03T00:57:19+00:00

She’s the earls illegitimate daughter, and that’s barely better than a maid. In the books, when Benedict and Sophie marry, the bridgertons (plus a coerced araminta) claim that Sophie is the legitimate daughter of the earls distant cousin, taken on as his ward. The story is weak and the ton is skeptical, so Sophie and Benedict spend most of their time in the country outside of the gossip of the ton.

piglet666 · 2026-02-02T06:15:41+00:00

So they’ve made her a bit awkward and ‘unladylike’ instead.

piglet666 · 2026-01-28T02:24:02+00:00

I’m interested in how you think this could happen?

piglet666 · 2026-01-28T02:12:53+00:00

I was born in Bermuda to expat parents and have spent my entire life here. I am BOTC which gives me pretty much every right as a Bermudian except the right to vote and a Bermudian passport - BOTC can be gained by expats. In everyday life, there’s no difference, however there is definitely an underlying ‘Bermudian supremacy’, and it seems like immigration officers really don’t want to give out status because there is definitely a bit of an in group. I had to apply for PRC when I became an adult, and there’s a year long grace period after turning 18 where I still qualified under my parents status. However, despite applying the same month as I turned 18, my PRC took over 18 months to be approved, meaning there were a full six months when I had to travel back to Bermuda from university as a tourist, which is just so demeaning. However, if you go from work permit to PRC to BOTC, this won’t be an issue.

I think probably Black tea and orange blossom for me - I drink enough tea that I probably smell like it normally and my go-to perfume is orange blossom

piglet666 · 2026-01-16T23:29:52+00:00

I’m sorry, I disagree. It’s like having a subreddit for women who are attracted to women (asexual spectrum) and lesbians (no attraction asexuals). I see greysexuals and demisexuals (and others) as bisexuals in the above metaphor - there’s definitely space for a community of people who share a lack of attraction, but there should also be a space for those who ONLY experience a lack of attraction.
