Bridgerton Season 3 - Blog Posts
Yknow I still want Cressida to get a dressmaker gf like u cannot convince me that wouldn’t be perfect idk I can just see it so clearly in my mind lol
Also I so badly want Eloise to be Aromantic or some kind of aspec, strong independent woman with no need or want of romance please (my hopes aren’t high because it’s literally a romance show but still)
When Francesca bridgerton is confirmed as a sapphic
Pen's emergency contact 🥰✨
Oh Eloise you are willing to change the world ? But you couldn't help a girl out of a wedding with an old man ?
This writing is inconsistent and bad
My thoughts on Michaela
Ok first : disclaimer, I have read the book, ok angry Michael fan ? I have read the book, I read all of them.
You can guess where my thought is going : it definitely could work.
There's just something about Francesca being startled by Michaela but quickly stuffing those feelings down. She's a married woman and she DOES love John, in some way.
And then when she need Michaela the most, she vanished. (And maybe married to have a baby with some lord for the succession ?... To think about)
Then she comes back and Francesca starts to feel things but no she can't. It's John's cousin for heaven's sake she's betraying John again, she tried to have a child with him !!!She wants children, you need a man for children.
And it's wrong she's a woman, a lady. She always followed societal rules she does NOT like women. She is different enough, she doesn't need something else.
Then there's Michaela. She always liked Francesca, from the moment she saw her.
But it's impossible, she's John's wife, her almost brother's wife.
Francesca is a good woman she likes following the rules, she wants children, she's a perfect lady. No way she is like Michaela, attracted to girls.
And getting with her isn't just betraying John, it's betraying Francesca. She's already cast away from society, she wants children and she deserves it. John would want her happy and no way is Michaela going to make this impossible.
I've also seen people being worried because John was supposed to be Francesca's first love. But he can still be, sure she has a spark for Michaela but nothing more. John and her have a connection something deep, that's going to leave a real hole in her life.
And if anything worries about sex scene you can have consensual sex even if one isn't into it (an example that strikes me is in “The day of a fallen night” which is the most interesting, on a writing level, sex scene I've read)
Eloise was literally like that in part one
And you're going to tell me that in the laps of one or two episodes she doesn't eveb bother to listen to Cressida telling her that a 70y old man wants to marry her ? That the friendship was “falling appart" ?!?
I can't bring myself to watch the last two episodes
I just finished the episode “Tick Tock” of Bridgerton and what the actual FUCK. It wasn't THAT bad but Eloise ?!?
I'm sorry but “I wish I could do something" girl ?!? You're telling me you can't help ? Can't talk about it to your family? Mind you nothing would be my priority but helping a girl get out of a marriage with a seventy years old man.
Eloise should have been the villain in season 3
Listen, I'm the biggest Eloise apologist ever but I can't keep on defending her. She should have been the villain and it could have solved SO MUCH of the issues with the stories.
Eloise has been rejected by society the reality hits her hard after Penelope, rightfully, called her on her bullshit with the “not everyone can be a pretty Bridgertons” speech. And when she was at her lowest she learned that her friend is the one that betrayed her.
She was trying to make amends and to listen to her friends... And where did that get her ?
She's tired of society, she's tired of trying to fit in she just doesn't care. She's mean, she's unapologetic, she laughs when a suitor asks her to dance with him. She's gone. Because what's the point anyways ? She has already lost everything.
There's a lack of drama ? Eloise will GIVE that drama right into the household. Plus I mean a Bridgeton villain? With their capacity to get away with everything ? And it frustrates her because she's just proving Penelope right but she can't stop, she's on a rampage.
And here comes Cressida, always the mean girl, who sees in Eloise the reflection of what she is inside and she makes the first step towards her. What's more beautiful than her and Eloise both evolving out of this cycle, maturing hands in hands.
Eloise learns that people CAN change and as Penelope doesn't write about any of her wrong doing, she starts to see the light.
But she doesn't need to become directly bff with Penelope again, it's not realistic. People change and mature (which is an undertones of this season I'm kinda seeing ?). Things will never be the same again.
Also their friendship wasn't benefiting for none of them. Penelope and Eloise need to make their own space their own friends and grow.
Are you for real rn?!
I'm gagging.
Jandojebajyojebwjoejchbebsjjynxndjsj!!!!!
God created men and then sent Luke Newton as an apology.
PENELOPE IS THAT BITCH AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE THAT BITCH YALL WISH YOU COULD SERVE CUNT AS HARD AS SHE DOES 🗣️‼️‼️‼️
Ready to defend Penelope Featherington from all of you haters:
Spoilers for Bridgerton 3x08 under the cut
THIS IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN. MY FRIEND AND I HAD A FEELING THAT WE'D SEE MICHAEL, BUT MICHAELA??????? I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
SHE SAID JUST HER NAME AND FRAN WAS HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE. I CAN'T WAIT FOR HER STRUGGLE WITH HER FEELINGS, BOTH BEING BI AND BEING IN LOVE WITH HER HUSBAND'S COUSIN.
@playydohh I misremembered the scene at the end of romancing Mr Bridgerton, but at the end, Colin and Pen reveal Whistledown's identity, which was the whole idea behind this tease. It doesn't have to be Polin, but Bridgerton at the very least.
I’m sorry, but if at the end of Bridgerton S3 doesn’t have Pen and Colin hosting a masquerade ball and Benedict dancing with a woman in silver and her running away at the end of the episode and her butler/maid friend asks her; “Everything alright, Miss Beckett?” and then the episode cuts to black. I. Will. Riot.
The only bad thing about my timezone is that I've had a full day (and have more to go) and season 3 isn't out yet already!!
I've been seeing this all day, and I cannot stress how excited I am.
It's so beautiful and yet so annoying!! I want them to meet already and form some kind of connection.
Philoise is my weakness, honestly
I feel like at the end of Bridgerton season 3, or when Pen and Colin FINALLY marry, we'll see Phillip Crane at the Polin wedding, due to the fact that Colin and Phillip really hit it off and most likely became friends. So most likely at the wedding reception, Phillip will be by himself (as his wife did not wish to come to the wedding or she did) and he catches Eloise's eye, who then starts talking with him as she has been badgered by her mother for 2 years now to find a husband, and this man seems somewhat interesting, as he himself is a wallflower (quite unusual for a man). The two start talking and he informs her that he's from Pen's side of the family (via marriage) but Colin invited him to the wedding. They exchange address and start corresponding.

YES!!!!!!!! That would be perfect!

Bridgerton Season 3 Spoilers!!!!!!!
So I finally had a day off and could wacth season 3 of Bridgerton and oh.my.god. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.So three things before I get into the meat of it. First of all, I sincerely hope that Violet and Lady Danburys brother get a chance to connect more MAMA VIOLET DESERVES LOVE TOO! Seecond the fact that Anthony cannottt keep his hands off Kate is so hilarious to me like get awf that lady and let her breathe. And third Francesa being a subtle autism rep is so amazing to me, as an autizzy person myself seeing someone with the same mannerisms as me within a romance setting is so refreshing like it truly puts joy in my heart. And also the sign language in the first episode???? love itttttt, they truly perfected diversity without shoehorning it.
Now to the meattttttt of it.
Now friends to lovers has never personally been my thing and in terms of each bridgerton show im gonna rank this leason my second least favorite but thats NOT to say I dont like it I very much enjoyed this season but i do have my critiques.
1
While I get a giggle out of Pen's sisters I cannot stand her family as a whole, for the simple fact that they treat her as if no one would EVER want her just because she plus sized and has "odd interest" in their words, it infuriated me how her mother wanted Pen to say yes not because she was happy for her but because she truly thought this would be Pen's only chance. Despite my disliking her family it was a good plot point for her to finally decide to make a change and put herself out there. I feel like in her previous two seaons for her she didnt put herself out there because, as weve seen, she has a huge lack of confidence that it was more than likely the work of her mothers and her sisters doing. I also loveeee the wardrobe change from bright gaudy colors and patterns to more Bridgerton esqe colors in her wardrobe. The wardrobe in Bridgerton has always amazed me but putting Pen in that light blue was amazinggg she was gorgeous and glowing. Even her sisters were eating this season like props to wardrobe and makeup bc they ate. Im so worried to see whats going to happen when Collin eventually finds out shes lady whistle down like omgggg.

I don't hate Eloise and Cressida NOW HEAR ME OUT OKAY. Cressida is still not a good person at all but I'm so glad we got to see more of her character bc it definitely shed light into why she acts that way. It would be completely ignorant to sit there and believe that the pressures of the ton to be perfect and find husbands quickly and avoid scandal WOULDNT make the girls get a little nasty with each other. The pressure from her parents specifically made me go "Oh girl I think id get nasty too if those were my folks." In no way does it excuse her treatment of Pen tho!! I also liked that it was Cressida who clocked Eloise's tea about her pointing fingers immediately at her when Pen got exsposed. Not to mention when the girlies came to Cressida for tea SISTA DID NOT FOLD!!!! She politely said naur and kept it pushing. Like I understand Cressida was neverrr the nicest and was a gossip but if Eloise decided to hang around her then she shoulda had faith in the girl. Like Eloise I love you but doooo betterrrr. Don't get me wrong at all yall Eloise is my fav but I'm glad people are clocking her for her shittt. I hope Cressida and Elosie stay friends but they constantly build off of each other to be better bc I loved how Eloise made her dislike of Cressida's treatment towards Pen known.

This is so unrelated but i love bennedict BAD hes sooooo idk yall I need him.

COLLIN BRIDGERTON IM HERE TO CLOCK YOUR TEA.
Imma be real I might be bitter bc I feel like Pen shoulda made that man grovel. After what he said about her to his friends in the previous season he should have been on his hands and knees BEGGING for her forgiveness she let him off too easy. Also I don't really appreciate that it took another man giving Pen attention for his stupid ass to finally be like "Oh shed kinda bad actually." I ALSO don't like how when he described how he liked Pen as a friend it wasn't because of her actual qualities it was how she made HIM feel. "You're always here to listen to me and give me a new perspective!" Sir you could have just said she was very insightful, you enjoy her company SOMETHING other than a service she has done for you. That why Im glad he was suffering so bad every time he saw them together he was SICK to his stomach and I'm here for it.
All in all I cant wait to see how things go down next bc I think everyine is gonna reap what they sow Pen, Collin, Eloise EVERYONE. bc the sneak peak looked crazyyyyyy.
Anyways the next thing I should post will be the Finnal Gambit the last book in the trilogy of the hawthorn legacy series.
See yall later!
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.
I binged bridgerton season 3 and…
DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE HOW COLIN USED HIS CLEAN FINGERS TO FIX PENELOPE’S DRESS??? COME ON😭😭
‘Let’s learn our abc’s with the bridgerton family’
We need fan fictions for Lord Debling from bridgerton!!!
Why do I have the feeling I’m going to hate Eloise this season??
penelope is a better woman than me, i would’ve lied and said i got engaged just to see if colin would cry
the fact that Colin is just itching to be away from her one day, and then just lets Pen leave without him (going to the same location) the next day...this show! Colin is so stupid.
Not even the Duke allowed his wife to leave alone. He too, like Colin, had every right to be angry with his wife, but that didn't stop from him from maintaining honor, dignity of their marriage, wanting to be with her and protect her. A good strong man!
I just need to acknowledge how terrible it is how much Colin abandons her and leaves his wife all alone at times on conflict/when things are hard. This isn't how you handle conflict healthily. It makes Colin look so weak, so blah, so boring, so bland, so LIMP. It's so not Colin! And we're supposed to believe he's in love her -sigh- why did the writers do something like this??
although i do like that they argue and then it is immediately followed by a steamy make out session (very book Polin), there are two huge flaws with this scene that COMPLETELY ruin it -
Colin walks away from Pen, "not wanting to hear it," leaving her all alone in the middle of the street at night for the second time.
Pen, again, has to call out to him and get him to stop to talk to her. The fact that she has to initiate AGAIN is not okay because remember, this is unrequited-to-requited story line. We're in the requited section - so the ball is now in Colin's court, he needs to be doing more initiating for any of this to have any meaning. If Pen continues to pursue him, even when he is angry with her, THEN WTF ARE WE DOING HERE? And therefore, it ruins the interaction after that because it's Pen in the driver's seat yet again and that's not fair to Pen. She deserves to have him pursue her for once. FFS!!!
Second flaw - he doesn't go back home with her in the carriage - why? what are we even DOING here???
