does anyone in the spouse friends group has a flirt or spend a night together?
I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I'm guessing you mean has anyone dated within the group? If it's that then no, they're all platonic.
Now Michael/Phillip/Penelope live together in their apartment and Gareth/Lucy live together in the dorms of the University. Kate and Sophie used to live together during high school when Mary took Sophie in. After Kate went off to University and Sophie started her apprenticeship. They do live in the same building as the trio. Simon is the odd duck out among them. They all have had sleepovers at each others places, besides the dorms for obvious reasons. None of them would blink if they came home one day to find one of their friends who do not live there chilling on their couch.
As for flirting. Look there are multiple reasons they have private group chat that the Bridgertons don't see. One of them being is that they are gonna get their feelings hurt. Due to certain influences the group is not afraid to flirt with one another. It will be some of the dirtiest, nastiest flirting that would make the devil himself blush, some of which they turn around and use on their partners, and it's all platonic. They're honestly just being silly with one another. Until one of them gets competitive, then it's just a fucking challenge to see who can get the other the most red. (Simon and Gareth being the exception because damn it Simon helped raise that boy.) If their partners do express being uncomfortable with the platonic flirting though they'll stop.
Imagine if you knew Peter back in high school but he doesnāt remember you...
Ok so the two of you were together in high school when he was still in his goth era.
Everyone was afraid of him except you for some reason
He was an outcast and you were too in some way
You would share classes together and everything and laybe you got a little crush on him but at the time you werenāt really confident...
Maybe it was the pimples that you never manage to get rid of
Or maybe your body was changing in a way you werenāt comfortable with
Or maybe you were a bit overweight
And it didnāt help that you were quiet
You secretly hoped that he would notice you
When you two had class together you would sit next to him just so you could steal glances at him
The way his eyes looked piercing through his hair was just... hypnotising...
Sometime his face would snap back at you and you would look away embarassed
One time the teacher put the two of you together on a project and you were secretly very happy because you had an excuse to talk to him
You plan a rendez-vous so the two of could work on the project
You thought it went well but...
He ghosted you after that and you had to finish the project on your own...
The last time you interracted with him in high school was on valentineās day
You made him a valentineās card and slip it in his locker
You waited not too far away, pretending like you were busy just to see how he would teact
He open his locker and the card fell on the floor
He picked it up and you felt like your heart was going to burst out of your chest
He read it and at first he frowned, he looked up and your eyes met, you looked away
If you had looked into his eyes at this moment you would have combust
When you looked back he was gone and the valentineās card was pined on his locker
You waited until less people were around and you went to picked up the card
A part of you was hoping that itāll be something sweet or nice...
"Fuck off you ugly bitch"
A small sketch of ashen teenagers. I don't think there are only three children of the age of Ttrong, Oare and Txon in the clan. And here's a squad of Pandora's tightly beaten teenagers!
So did Colin and Eloise manage to get to Penelope at the ball at some point? Honestly Iād just love to know what happens next with everyone at home the ball. Part 2?
Part 2 of the ball? Really nothing much else happened. Kate and Anthony got into an argument about Kate's (accurate) description of the Bridgerton brood. Phillip and Penelope just continued moving and even took to the dance floor a few times. Michael and Francesca overheard Sophie call Benedict a nudist and busted out laughing.
Phillip and Penelope were the first ones out the door as soon as they could. Neither of them didn't want to be there in the first place. Sophie, Kate, and Lucy were right behind them. All of them had to be up early the next morning for work and school. Michael stuck around a little bit longer to say goodbye to Francesca. Simon and Gareth were stuck until much later in the evening because they very much feared Lady Danbury.
This didn't go well for Gareth later in the evening, because you know who else was there? Felicity Featherington.
Felicity took notice of how Colin and Eloise followed around Sir Crane and his plus one. Felicity could also spot her favorite sister anywhere. Even if it has been a few years since they saw one another in person. It is also well known that the four lords had friends outside of high society.
Hyacinth and Gareth had just finished a dance when Felicity cornered him.
"St. Clare," Felicity said staring him down. "Was that or was that not my sister with Sir Crane this evening."
Hyacinth turned towards Gareth. "Penelope was here?"
Gareth tensed. Penelope was going to kill him.
Michael, Phillip, and Penelope were all woken up by a loud banging on their apartment door.
Michael glared at the door like it offended his mother. "Damn, who comes to disturb the peace at seven am."
Phillip only makes a noise of agreement, but the morning grump was glaring at the door too.
Seeing neither of the boys were going to open it Penelope does. Her eyes widened when she sees who is on the other side.
"Penelope!" Hyacinth and Felicity hug her.
Part of my beef with the ' what if Sophie was a guy' crowd is how little self awareness they have.
I've been reading one foo many of the 'make Sophie a guy' posts lately and it almost always goes like this
' i know how they could make Sophie into a man, all they need is to rewrite the entire story and rewrite the entire character until using a man makes sense'
And I find that a little ironic because absolutely all their posts recognize that Benedict's original story would have to be unrecognizable in order to change Sophie into a man. Its like they almost get the point, but fly way past it.
Just be honest with yourselves, and admit that you'd be willing to throw Benedict's cannon love interest and his cannon love story into the garbage for the sweet satisfaction of Benedict being gay.
I'm all for advocating for gay representation in media but the way some people go about it and demanding the outright rewrite and removal of one beloved character so that another can be written as gay, that just annoys me.
Personally I HC Benedict as Bisexual, but that's all it is a Headcannon, its part of my fanfiction mindspace until proven otherwise. I'm not out there demanding Sophie be deleted to affirm it. And I just wish some of my fellow fans would be better in that aspect
And for today that's the tea
Shit ok. You said out loud what I was thinking. Like I love Kate, Anthony and all the Bridgertons in their own right but DAMN, sometime it's obvious they have this "main character" shield. They do the most fucked up things that would usually get them in BIG trouble for that tims but there's no consequences.
Like I can understand the mistakes and wrong doings of Marina and Penelope for diverse reason because they got some kind of consequences for their action. But like can we talk about how Daphne SA Simon and acted like the victim aftrrward? And she got ehat she wanted at the end. Anthony and Kate didn't have the balls to be honest with themselves and Edwina and the only thing they got was like a week, maybe two, of bad reputation and avoidance from the ton. And then they got married when they ruined a marriage the QUEEN herself organize?!
Why I will never ever take Bridgerton fandom or mainly any tv/film fandoms seriously especially the Bridgerton one because they genuinely like trash toxic disgusting characters like Eloise Anthony Kate Daphne but hate Marina Edwina Colin and Penelope and the only reason they like Kate is because sheās their self insert girl to be with the hot nasty white boy they fancy Anthony and the only reason they dislike Colin whoās perfect and the best man brother wnd Bridgerton in that whole show is because heās Penelope friend and love interest itās clear as day they whole fandom hatred for them is based on racism misogynior and fatphobia because you canāt tell me you genuinely like Daphne whoās a se*ual assaulte* (which btw people hate Alison in UA for as they should but they deem her as the devil worst most evil human ever that was kissing too but daphne does a whole SA rap*e but she donāt get the same energy Daphne donāt even get any energy about in fact she gets nothing is because what she did was towards a poc character so it donāt matter right and things only matter when poc/woc characters does anything or just breathes in the wrong direction or towards a yt character right they are
deemed satan sporn crucified fandom love to put woc/poc character on high standards then white characters who can just live life and do all mistakes without facing consequences or remotely anything even if itās literally sexu*ul assaul* or crimes like plz be fr and donāt get me started on them like having understanding sympathing and making all the excuses in the world for daphne even tho sheās sexua* assaulte* but they hate Marina for doing what was best for her children and herself thereās absolutely no understanding no sympathy or empathy for her and the life sheās lived which was so sad and cruel in fact sheās lived the worst life but they have no understanding for her but can easily do for other characters whoās lived a spoiled happy privileged life like the Bridgertons but nothing for the poor sad heartbroken girl in that society being not just any girl but a woc and not a rich woc that is protected by love or money like say queen Charlotte duke was in that era
being great mother doing whatever for their kids which is another thing fandoms love Portia as they should bc she was doing what was best for her kids as a mother does and should always do (my queen except when sheās cruel to pen and her sister) when she said she was mother and her team was the 3 girls the fandom call her bad bitch best mom who loves her kids as they should bc itās true and Georgia in G&G calling her girl boss bad bitch best mother and queen thingz for doing everything for her kids and herself but Marina doing the same in time in a society where people like her poor black woman with no high status or family meant nothing whoās opinion and life and gender was seen as less, for her itās sheās the devil trapping Colin like he still didnāt want her afterwards saying it didnāt matter to him that she was pregnant with another man baby that he loved and wouldāve helped her if he knewš sheās manipulative trapping him all the bla bla no she was doing what was right and best for her at that time and we shouldnāt applauded her for her mistakes for doing what was wrong to towards Colin or lying to him but understand her time and life and see she was very desperate have some sympathy for god sake she made a mistake she did something wrong we see it her it but so did everyone else there and yāall have understanding sympathy for them but canāt do the same for her why?
(at least she came clean and apologized and got her consequences more then I can say for any bridgerton character thatās not Colin because they all somehow never seem to get any consequences for their actions or the things they do and the people they hurt just disappear or are the ones getting hated on or they get their happy ending with a person they hurt) but when another white woman character does that same exact thing but itās way worse itās girl boss) and thatās why I canāt take any fandom but especially the Bridgerton fandom seriously and donāt even get me started on the unnecessary hate Penelope Colin and Edwina get all the time sure Penelope at least did something bad once or twice or thrice and Iām not excusing her but itās not remotely close to anything those other characters or even Eloise did and Kate Anthony get nothing even tho they are literally the most evil characters in that show along with daphne, Eloise is horrible awful cruel human but sheās not a devil just mean whiny privileged spoiled narcissistic hypocritical bitc*h and anyone that likes these characters but hate on Penelope who tried everything to save herself and her friend can stfu and anyone who hates Edwina and Colin literally the best characters in the whole universe whoās never ever done anything wrong in their lives can fcvk off good too for all I care same can Penelope Polin and Marina haters!
you are not fooling anyone with your clear and obvious racism misogynior and fatphobia at all because if you genuinely was gonna hate on characters for being cruel or doing something manipulative nasty or just pure evil you would never eveeer hate or even think off hating on Colin and Edwina and you would be so understanding empathetic and feel for Penelope and Marina doing whatever they can in world where they are poor woman who arenāt rich spoiled privileged supported by their family nor Bridgerton girls and who the world donāt just open up for them with opportunity respect an kindness
And this is more then half the fandom all of them being the same one shade of nasty liking daphn kathony but hating Colin Edwina marina and Penelope be so fr real!
I got lazy shading and the rest. I got inspired by a few ppg/rrb teen designs and combined a bit with my version. Hopefully i don't get compared at cuz I can get a bit sensitive when being compared š but yeh they're fun to draw ig so expect some more stuff about them.
So I know I haven't said much about the twins in the spouses friend group universe but that's mainly because I'm still on the fence whether or not I want them to be biologically Phillip's where he's coparenting with Marina or go down the show route where they are biologically George's and Phillip ends up taking them in. Or even just having Phillip be the fun uncle.
But like I'm imagining cute scenes where the friend group take the twins on little adventures with them. Like they used to get up to some shit before the twins were born and then after Phillip would strap them babies in a stretchy wrap and take them with him as his friends dragged all three out the door.
And Phillip trusts his kids with any of friends. They're all responsible and would not let anything happen to them. Uncle Michael shows them how to make cool (non alcoholic) drinks, Aunt Penelope tells the best stories, Uncle Simon gives the best presents. Aunt Sophie and Uncle Gareth gives them cool (completely temporary and child safe) tattoos, and lets them color in their tattoos. Aunt Kate and Aunt Lucy lets them see all kinds of animals at Kate's clinic, plus Newton can tire them out and they can tire out Newton.
I'm not sure. What do you guys think?
In this AU Penelope wasn't as close to the Bridgerton as she is in the original. Because they're not neightborgs, El and Pen never got really close. I still think that she fell for Colin because both in the TV series and in the show they met by accident while they were children, the only difference is that since she didn't get to know him they didn't became friend until way later.
So back to the Marina situation, I think that since they weren't as close she wouldn't have reveal Marina's secret on Lady Whistledown BUT she would have tried to convince her not to do it because it wasn't right and she still liked Colin and he didn't deserve to be deceived like that. So we still had the speach were Marina told Penelope to give up because Colin didn't see her like a woman.
I like to think that by then Cressida and Penelope had grown closer so this time she went to Cressida and told her what happen. Cressida started the rumor of Marina being pregnant. Penelope didn't tell her anything but Cressida wasn't stupid she noticed more things especialy now that she spend more time at the Featherington's house. Then Penelope had to report it in the whistledown afterward.
Cressida never liked Marina. She saw her friendship with Penelope as tresspassing on her relationship with Penelope. She wouldn't admit it at this point but she vallued Pen as a friend, since she struggle to make friend and since she had a bad attitude she was scarred Pen might prefer Marina. So it was some kind of revenge against her.
Jake Sully is so silly what do you mean you're not gonna spend more then 10 minutes thinking of a plan to save the kid your children call brother? What do you mean you think hes gonna rat you out so you leave the child you watched grow up to the people you know are gonna butcher him???? What do you mean you're not gonna even slightly take responsability for the boy who you included in your SONGCORD?
Iāve been wanting to talk about this for a while because I saw that some time ago this topic was discussed in the fandom, and even though Iām a bit late, I wanted to share my thoughts. This is about this line from the original/previous script of ATWOW ofc, which stirred up a debate between the fans, especially after the Avatar account made a video about the scene while showing/underlining that specific sentence.
First of all, itās important to specify that a) this was not the final script of the movie, and b) things have been a bit exaggerated and framed in the wrong way from the get go, by the Avatar official account in the first place. To be honest, I havenāt really followed the discourse with much attention, but from what Iāve gathered, I feel like the discussions people had about this were, imo, based on a misinterpretation of the core meaning of what this infamous sentence means: Neytiri is not ashamed of her children per se, but rather she is ashamed of the fact that her children have Sky Peopleās blood in them.
And yes, itās a very different thing. To me, itās not that Neytiri feels shame about who her children are as people. Just because she feels āshameā about their blood, it doesnāt mean she is ashamed about them, as in who they are as individuals. Nothing will ever change the fact that she loves her children more than anything else, and with no doubt considers them perfect just like every mother does; but itās still true that she could feel some sort of shame about the fact that her children have the blood of their oppressors running through their veins. I donāt think itās a āew my kids are dirty half-bloods and they disgust meā kind of thing (like a lot of people framed it to be), but rather a āI love my children with my whole heart, but I still donāt like and struggle to accept the fact that part of them is human, like the people who murdered half of my family, massacred my clan and destroyed my home and lifeā kind of thing.
And this is not to say that this feeling is not āproblematicā. But, considering everything she has been through, itās also both extremely natural and irrational. Iām sure that she feels very conflicted emotions about this. She 100% technically knows that her children are Na'vi, but she also canāt help but feel disappointed by the fact that they will always be different, and that this difference is caused by them having human blood (we get a glimpse of that in the comics). I also believe, unlike a lot of people Iāve seen, that this ā canon or not ā is not a disservice or a misinterpretation of her character at the hands of the writers. I actually think itās a spontaneous progression of her arc and a natural consequence of the events she has experienced in the first movie/so far in her life, not to mention a very realistic effect of a life-long colonization and oppression. Itās not out of character, itās an aspect of her character that is deeply complex, nuanced, even somewhat problematic, and therefore uncomfortable for a lot of fans to properly judge, analyze or even accept.
Also, small note about Jake, because I think this insight on Neytiriās emotions naturally raises another question: does she feel shame about Jake too? In my opinion, yes. But itās the same ālogicā as before: she loves Jake for who he is, for what he has become, but she is not happy about the fact the heās human, and I think a part of her will always struggle to accept that. I also think she loves him despite Jake being human, not that she loves him because she embraces this side of him. She hasnāt changed her mind about Sky People (and rightfully I would add), she has simply fallen in love with what she considers to be the exception, exactly because he is, at least in her eyes, the exception.
Remember that, whether this is about the kids or Jake, this an extremely nuanced and complicated situation and should be treated as such. In my opinion, Neytiriās trauma about the Sky People will never truly heal. Even if one day she learns or decides to reconcile with (some of) them, even if she does need to work on some irrational and unconscious trauma responses she has (such as this feeling she has developed about her children), I believe there will always be a hidden part of her that will not accept it, there will always be a part of her struggling with the hate and the rage and void the Sky People left in her, there will always be a scar too deep to be properly healed. And that is legitimate.
