Sooo, Bridgerton just came out (quite literally, with two Canon queer chatacters) and people are mad about it?? Like wtf??? Is 2024, get over it???

And they are saying they love the books so they dont want the storylines and shit changed. Mind you, the show has been changing the original storylines all the time, is an adaptation. Pretty sure the ones claiming to love the books have not even read them, but that is not relevant to the point I am trying to make.

What I am saying is that if you do not care about the series changing the history lines all the time, like they have been doing ALL OF THE SEASONS, ALL OF THE TIME, but you suddenly start to care -or hate- when a new history line (or a change of the story, like the Michael-Michaela one) only if it involves queer people, that is homophobic.

You only care when queer people are added. You only say its bad when queer people are represented. You only hate changes when queerness is involved.

THATS HOMOPHOBIA. Argue with the wall.

Nicola Coughlan is the it girl of 2024 but ruining relationships and characters in Bridgerton in order to make her character the sole focus was not the fan service move to make.

1) There's plenty of amazing posts about the absolute horrible writing of Cressida this season. It's so confusing to tell us to root for her in part 1 only to expect us to be happy at her horrible downfall in part 2 with a shitty voice over of Penelope apologizing.

2) I love the writing of Polin's relationship but the final love confession of Colin stands out from all the rest and makes no sense to me. Why would Colin tell Penelope that if he has no dreams, he will be content and happy to be her husband and to love her. What was the point?? The only reason he said that is to flip the gender roles of Portia's sentence when she was telling Penelope that men have dreams. women have husband's. Is Colin's dream being loving his wife supposed to make him a feminist icon? Pen's only wish was partnership, established by her defying Colin's "I'll show you everything" and instead asking him to "teach her". She just wants respect. She kept telling him that his writing is good, why doesn't he genuinely follow that as a passion. It's not a competition, they can both be good? Now it feels like he said "I'll publish my manuscript, and if I succeed I succeed, if I don't it's okay I have my wife." Okay, but you're allowed to keep working on it? You don't have to like, give up? Aim high, aim succeeding. Writing can still be his dream, and he can still love his wife. They can co-exist. Benedict kept saying that love is not finite. Colin can love writing and love his wife. He can work hard on his dream and still support his wife's success with no jealousy.

3) Why did Portia only focus on getting closer to Penelope and not the other sisters. It was literally up to Pen to fund their ball to finally put a smile on Prudence's face. Singling out Penelope like that to shower her with love still outcasts her from the rest of her sisters instead of forging a family bond with all of them.

Cressida losing is not a win, Colin not having dreams is not a win, her sisters not getting motherly affection is not a win. What the fuck.

They're the same person
