If Debling isn't good enough for Fran, as the Queen herself says, because he's boring and has nothing to really offer save a title

If what Debling can offer isn't good enough for Edwina, IE: a life of security without love like what Anthony was willing to provide for her

If what Debling represents, an absent figure in a household who does not invite his wife into his plans and interests isn't a good outcome for Portia, who preaches about marrying for security and then ends up scrounging for it, regardless

Why does fandom insist that Penelope has to settle for him? That he'd be a 'better option'? Why is it that she's the one who should have hopped on the first guy with a vague interest in her and tepid emotions when Colin is right there and actually desires her? Why are other women in the series allowed to prioritize love and dream of happy endings regardless of the consequences and outcomes but Penelope should be content with being the warden of a big house as her husband fucks off without her? Why is it that all these characters deserve romances and caring but Penelope should have accepted a title and an estate and being alone?

As if Colin can't provide her security. As if Colin doesn't show interest in her and listen to her. As if he's not from a good family and will also elevate her standing in society through their marriage. As if Penelope has ever been the kind of woman to go title hunting. As if Penelope finds any kind of solace in being alone. As if Penelope isn't actively looking for connection.

Peeps who think Debling is in any way a good fit for her hate Colin, but y'all clearly hate Penelope more, because what are you even talking about? Debling opened the door after getting permission to ask to marry her and didn't even smile. Colin throws open the carriage door and does the stride of pride to show her off to his family with a grin on his face. Debling dumps her with the first SNIFF he gets of her having interest in someone else. Colin runs off after her to beg her to give him a chance and not to marry the other dude. Debling wants to leave her alone in a big house as he goes on adventures. Colin cannot go traveling without writing to her and sharing the world with her.

Penelope deserves the best just as the other women of this series do. Penelope deserves to be loved in every way- with acts of service (the balloon scene, setting up a ballroom in Bridgerton House so they can flirt), with quality time (all their lessons), with touch (carriage, dances, kisses aplenty), with words of affirmation (you are Penelope Featherington, never forget that, you are clever and warm, you do not need lessons), with gifts (a ring on her finger, a house she can make a home with him together). With big gestures like running off after her and small moments like looking for her in every room.

I'm sick of Debling. I'm sick of people who don't recognize that he had 0 emotion toward Penelope save for 'she'll do'. That he liked that she was honest and alone and didn't share his interests. That she would be content with the scraps he was willing to offer her. Not passion. Not sharing. Not cultivating a life together. Not love. Not anything except money and solitude. In what world would that ever have been enough? In what world is that best for her? I'm sick of people refusing to see that Penelope wants to be and should be and will be loved all because there's bitterness in their hearts. If you throw a dreamer into a pragmatic box, they wither. As Colin would have with Marina. As Penelope would have with Debling.

Penelope deserves the best. Penelope deserves Colin. Because Colin is the best for her, to her, with her.

If you can't see that, sucks to suck.

#polin #bridgerton #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #y'all out here like 'oh it's because i don't like colin-' PENELOPE likes Colin!!!!! #PENELOPE LOVES COLIN!!!! Penelope doesn't WANT Debling #to say she should have ended up with him when she straight up says she's 'made peace with what he can offer' her is BONKERS #why don't you listen to her? why don't you like her? you want her to be holed up in some lord's mansion loveless and alone? #why is every single other woman in this series allowed to reach for love but penelope should find happiness in convenience? #why is she your outlier? #because you think Debling is the best she can do? #because you don't recognize how colin is hot and rich and respectful and kind and caring? #sounds like a you problem

taylor complying with the guild proposals so she can be added to the interim agreement list so the eras tour movie is in total support of the strikes i loooooooooooove knowing that and love her so much for that.

#the guild demands are NOT HARD #so easy that a SINGLE WOMAN ENTITY CAN FIND IT WITHIN HER PERSONAL BUDGET TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THEM #HELLOOOOOO STUDIOS IM IN YOUR WALLS #to be fair most of her film will not infringe anyway upon the guilds that are even striking but the fact that #and her tour probably already complied because it's a very short 'shoot' compared to most scripted film projects #but still!!!! #she went to the table anyway and basically was like i'll do whatever you want i support you i mean #nice to see her coming from a place of respectful solidarity for the industry laborers!!! love to see it!!!!

funny thing about attraction is that i am Not at all interested in cis guys. right.

except for the literal worst fictional men you've ever layed eyes on.

occasionally theres the just Regular Ass Guy right, but 90% of the time its either women or the literal scum of the earth (or both. lady villains. aaough <3 yes please)

#idk why i went on a rant ab this im just thinking of the fsct that i can name like 5 literal The Worst villain characters (or like. #not villains but are scum of the earth anyway?) #that are all fictional men id smooch. #not a single irl man ever that id smooch though sorry guys </3 #and affectionately trans men are on thin ice 🫵 (as in i love trans men but. Thats A Whole Ass Man Right There) #i find romantic attraction in the shared experiences yk? #i literally have no shared experiences with a cis guy. #also cis men scare me :lmao: #i have at least one shared life experience with trans men and thats the whole transmasc thing yk? #and thats a comfort and something that can open the door to potential romantic interactions #and nonbinary folk are under that same umbrella for the most part #and... aouegh... womemb. #<3 #dude i just love women thank you. do i have to explain myself here. #tho also totally cis women also intimidate me lmao #im the least intimidated by trans and nonbinary people. because i am also trans & nonbinary #more intimidated by cis people because I Am Not That. #most intimidated by cishet people. idk i just Am. sorry cishets </3 #and actually MOST intimidated by allistic cishet people lmao. ur telling me ur brain works AND youre seen as “normal” in society? HUH? #/silly. mostly #also i cannot speak fully on trans women bc. ive never met a trans woman irl #idk what it is wirh my state (<- yes i do its the general everything-phobia of the people here) but its hard to meet other trans folk #pleaaaaaaase dont take this post too seriously. its 3 am and im mcsleepy and i just wanted to ramble ab my general experience w attraction #ALSO I HAve no shared experiences w the fictional villains. its just that theyre fake and i can rotate them in my brain at mach 20 #i just think its fun snd attractive of me to put them in situations

book review culture is so funny

#getting out of a reading slump like. oh. u all are still so insane!! good to know!! #scrolling thru reviews on goodreads is like fighting 4 ur life #in the roman colosseum. blades drawn. to find even ONE semi-measured take that's not littered w/gifs from the office #caligula jeering from the stands. as u desperately try to find a singular review that is not an 37987439 open mic night standup routine #and the COMMENT sections under some of these reviews jfdhjhfdsjhfdsj #the united nations PRESS CONFERENCE of it all #these bitches are out for BLOOD!!! it's so hilarious I love mess #ppl truly fight 2 the death on that site daily #also. do not even get me started on BOOKTUBE #my GOD jfdshjfdshjdfs #I'm literally only subscribed to one booktuber on yt #her taste in books is SO far removed from my own & I 100% dislike all of her faves #& I trust absolutely ZERO of her book recommendations lmao #like. not a SINGLE one #but her energy is so good. so it doesn't matter #it's larryreads. luv her so v much #I will always tune my ass in as soon as she uploads. I'd watch that woman review a box of oatmeal #everyone else? I do not perceive #sam speaks

if you misinterpreted the show and fabien frankel’s CLEAR decision to portray criston as conflicted between being devoted to his code of honor/oath vs. giving into his feelings/infatuation for rhaenyra and somehow read that scene as him not reciprocating, you need to improve your media literacy skills asap because you are wildly off. not to mention the entire choreography of the scene emphasizes that she does have power and authority but that they have a relationship where he COULD say no (hence the slow removal of the armor, constant facial cues from rhaenyra where she was basically asking him if all of this was okay, and most importantly the decision to have her give him his white cloak as the camera focuses on HIM ultimately setting it aside and kissing her). anyone saying rhaenyra would have had him killed or removed from his position if he refused her are grasping at so many straws; that is NOT her character and he was not acting out of fear from that. he knows her better than that after years of being by her side. she has so far not been portrayed as a tyrant devoid of rational thinking who lashes out in extreme, cruel ways when she doesn’t get what she wants.

I actually love that this wasn’t filmed as a high-paced, impulsive, spur of the moment scene where two people are caught up in greedy lust and don’t realize the impact of their choices. unlike alicent and viserys, there are romantic feelings or at the very least attraction between rhaenyra and criston. I agree the show could have elaborated on it more but they did hint at a bond and showed that there was potential for something like this to happen in the future. alicent is lifeless, barely moving, and not an active participant in her scene with viserys; she cannot refuse him because she is his wife and queen and must obey. there is no playfulness or lightness in their relationship; it’s not even a “love scene” as there’s no love or passion present there. it’s someone exerting their “conjugal rights” over someone else and satiating their own sexual needs with no regard for the other person. rhaenyra and criston do not have this dynamic in any way so I don’t get the comparison between the two scenes from “some” people (aka men who are annoyed that their favorite show included a sex scene that didn’t treat the woman like she was a tool for male pleasure for once and are trying to find any fault in this despite not caring when actual abusive dynamics are shown on tv - very transparent what’s happening here). 

rhaenyra and criston are shown kissing, laughing, enjoying one another’s presence, and clasping hands as they embrace (an obvious and direct contrast to the shot of alicent’s hand in her uncomfortable scene with viserys that was meant to show she is alone and isolated in a passionless experience). the scene is filmed as a very romantic, affectionate tryst that has an underlying tension to it as this is not some meaningless decision for either of them. he’s not begrudgingly sleeping with her to “fulfill” a duty; there is genuine mutual desire there as most viewers noticed. if you hate sex scenes having a female gaze or simply didn’t see the chemistry (although difficult to believe as even critics have praised it as being a refreshing departure from the other sex scenes in this franchise), just say that and be honest instead of twisting it into something distasteful. but don’t act as if there weren’t two VERY willing participants in this scene because that’s not accurate.

#house of the dragon #ser criston cole #rhaenyra targaryen #rhaenyra x criston #can’t believe this even has to be said tbh #I told myself I wouldn’t look at these takes anymore because I lose brain cells rapidly #GoT fans hate when women aren’t treated like objects when it comes to sex #they tried to find fault with the arya/gendry scene too by saying she was a child when she was a grown woman #just say you hate female-focused love scenes and be honest #and then there’s the modern activists missing every single cue and sign that shows criston wants to be with her #re: thoughts #re: shows #re: house of the dragon #years later and I’m still writing thinkpieces because of this fandom’s dumbassery I guess lol #some things never change ✨

#I'VE GROWN INTO A DEEPLY UNLOVABLE ADULT: playlist. #I know this is kind of a weird place to start with misao BUT I swear this song is relevant to her character jsjsj #During the 400 years she spent in Japan after she left home she had actually become acquainted with Japanese Pirates. #And she had joined them on their ' travels ' ( which basically just means raids / illegal exploits JSJSJ ). #But something unexpected happened during her time spent with them. There was one other woman on the ship and of course Misao wanted to try- #to connect with them as a result. And Misao was left being in complete wonder of her as she had never seen someone be so agile with a sword #before that point since the other woman in question ( her name was reika ) was known for being a BRILLIANT swordfighter. and due to her- #bunk being right above reika's they often found themselves have late night convo's with each other. And over time Misao felt this- #overwhelming feeling of warmth within her heart whenever she was around her as they soon began spending pretty much every single waking- #moment of their time together. And because Misao had never experience romantic love before this point she had thought she just held a deep- #admiration for Reika for a while. But then Reika volunteered to show Misao how to sword-fight and that's when she knew that she loved Reika #Because every single time she would physically correct Misao's stance with her hands or show her how to do a move more properly- #Misao felt this uncontrollable desire to kiss her. She just thought that Reika was so beautiful. And she wanted to have the spirit- #of a ' warrior ' just like her. So she reallyyy wanted for Reika to be her gf and after having a nightmare one night- #(because she is unfortunately plagued with them sometimes) and Reika expressed her concern for Misao by telling her that she could sleep- #in the same bed as hers Misao could've sworn that her heart stopped for a second and she was hesitant to at first but crawled in bed next- #to her anyhow in the end and after just laying there for a bit Reika turned to face her + just look into her eyes for a moment Misao asked- #if she could kiss her and Reika laughed and said something akin to ' oh if you only knew how long i've wanted for you to say that. - #of course you can ' and from that moment on Misao + Reika were a couple. And Misao was sooo in love with her that she wanted to find a way- #to make her immortal too. But decided not to when the topic was met with Pity by Reika whenever Misao finally revealed to her what she- #really is. Though the years that Misao spent with her were perhaps the happiest she's ever had. And she still loves Reika to this day. #She is also the reason why Misao wants to perfect her sword-fighting skills. Because she wants to make Reika proud of her. #... wherever she may be. #NO SLEEP OF THE INNOCENT. NOT FOR YOU: character study.

Whenever I see asian, brown, and/or black Americans reinforcing, supporting, and upholding racism, colonization, imperialism, colorism, and any other belief system that not only harms them directly but other non-white communities as well and they still want to claim that they themselves are POC and face discrimination I feel bitter disgust towards them.

#yeah I know the oppression Olympics aren't real #everyone has their own problems #but the way so many Asian Americans contribute to colonization of the USA #refuse to admit they are guilty of anti-black racism and won't even acknowledge the Native American genocide really upsets me #then of course there's the colorism that every single Community is guilty of #don't even need to explain that one #the fact that my fellow brown people are also guilty of anti-black racism is upsetting as I feel we should be allies #and let's be honest there are black Republicans out there #whether it be through self-hatred or combination of multiple factors a lot of black people don't want to see other black people succeed #plus I've seen my share of black people on the Internet Posting pictures of themselves in red face for Halloween or #talking about how if Pocahontas was real she would be a black woman #fucken really? #plus many middle class and higher Asian Americans and African Americans don't want to acknowledge who's stolen land theyre living on #i 100% agree African-American should receive reparations from the US government #but I see people talking about how they deserve to have a plot of land and that makes me uneasy #of course there was that whole Asian American vs African American violence during the covid shutdowns #white supremacist love to see anyone who is not white tear each other down because it makes their job easier #I know we have our history between all of us that has left scars that never healed #I just find it so sad that we as a whole are still tearing each other down instead of trying to do better #I don't know how to properly explain this without going into a long ass historic rant #plus I don't want to #no energy #just wanted to get some thoughts out of my head

El doesn’t need to break up with Mike to be independent. She’s independent and that’s why she’s gonna break up with him. She’s gonna realize that she doesn’t need a boy putting her on a pedestal, and who can’t give her the love she needs in a partner.

It’s not that El needs to be single to be a strong independent girlboss. It’s that Mike can’t give her the love that she needs, so it’s better to break that relationship.

#and some bylers talk like she needs to break up with Mike to be independent #like she has to be single to be this strong woman #and if she find strength in Mike’s words that means the narrative is sexist #there’s nothing wrong in finding strength in the love of your partner #but here’s the thing she lost anyway because Mike’s love isn’t what she really needs #she got what she wanted: a declaration of love #but she needs more than that to be strong. Brenner was right she wasn’t ready. she hasn’t reach her full potential #because she still holding onto these ideas of being a monster a superhero that you can be bad or good but not both #but it’s not that simple. she has to accept the good and the bad parts. she has to learn her worth isnt defined by her powers #then she would be ready

fr tho, gotta love how ppl bitch about “the kingdom is problematic bc ppl are willing to die for their country and king and care about their duties”

but then you’ve got ladislava who is the same thing but turned up to eleven and has no character outside of that fact but nobody cares bc she’s not from faerghus

and you’ve got lorenz who dedicates himself to the commonfolk and would die for them bc he sees it as his explicit duty to ensure the protection of commoners to the point that if a commoner dies protecting him he genuinely believes he’s failed in his duty, but nobody cares bc he’s not from faerghus

#gotta love how blind ppl are to the allegiances of every other character when they just single mindedly hate one place #like if you're gonna argue smth or have a discussion at least know the facts of the places you're defending too #and if you're not defending and only saying smth abt another place then be ready to deal with comparisons #like the other day I had this guy arguing with me about faerghus' loyalty and how miklan can't be redeemed #but he couldn't deal with being wrong and kept changing topics or finding ways to try to be like #BUT PPL CAN RELATE TO XYZ WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF THIS #like... okay yeah but... ppl can also relate to zyx so what's the point of that argument #you can't argue something is flawed but then be presented with facts proving smth you're defending to also be flawed and #just pretend what you're arguing is the only thing wrong or not accept that what you're arguing just doesn't work #imagine being proven against an argument so you just switch to something else instead of admitting #that your argument (and a stereotypical one about an entire group of people i.e. country in this case) #is flawed itself bc you're trying to argue abt a whole nation's mentality and how you hate it but you don't hate #the mentality of the people who don't live there and have the exact same mentality #and on top of that like the whole Faerghus thing is an older generation thing bc like yeah Rodrigue is like that #but Felix isn't. Sylvain in Hopes only died in SB bc he went out angrily after revenge and died seeking revenge #not just bc he wanted his living friends to be safe. Sylvain is also not exactly ''knightly'' the way ppl say Faerghus soldiers are #he didn't consider it an honor to die for his country. he was just hoping his friends would be safe #and again he went into it thinking of revenge. it wasn't for some knightly duty or honor but bc he was still pissed abt Ingrid #Dimitri feels he has obligations and wants to help the commonfolk but he's suicidal as all fuck and also finds #no honor in dying the way Glenn died. Annette doesn't find anything particularly honorable and is just a family woman #Mercedes couldn't care less abt that stuff and is usually more worried abt Rhea and the Church #Ashe is a knight and is loyal but he doesn't really see ''honor'' in dying. he just would be willing to die to protect things important #to him. the only person in the current generation who avidly feels honor in old fashioned Faerghus standards is Ingrid #and let's not forget Leopold who... is also very much neck deep in loyalty and duty soooo #DCE Comments
