what are the chances Ashlyn has a bi-awakening this season? 🥲

#lgbtqia #bi ashlyn caswell #hsmtmts #but I would hope they did it in a meaningful way to both explore that discovery for her while also validating her relationship with big red #and that these two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive #also given Julia is pansexual I think that could mean a lot to her as an actesss #maybe maddox will play a role in this exploration of ashlyn’s arc #maybe she’ll be bi or queer herself #because it appears she’s with jojo #I wonder if this was even proposed by Julia herself #ashlyn caswell #maddox #big red #lgbtqia+ things #mine #s3 #hsmtmts theories #julia lester appreciation post

Okay so two things because I adore you and your vibe

1. I am writing a fanfic about Penelope thinking of her two first and greatest loves being Eloise and Colin bridgerton

2. Do you think the show will include queer activity with any of our mains?? (Why'd that sound homophobic to say) I thought they mightve with Benedict or perhaps Eloise though I am not sure

Okay so I am trying to answer most of my old asks today, because tomorow everyone will know what’s up with season 2 and there will be no more room to make up headcannons 

1) send me your link and I’ll give you a signal boost

2) I think the show can include queer activity, just not with the main cast and I say this completely respectful of the opinion and rights of the LGBTQ community. 

In my opinion It would be different if the characters had been created yesterday or even last year but “The Duke and I” and “The Viscount who loved me” were published in the year 2000, and the last Bridgerton book “On the way to the wedding” was published in 2006. These characters have existed as part of a male-female couple for 22 years. It’s not that the showrunners want to deny the LGBTQ community the representation they deserve. It’s just that to make any of the main cast queer, and end up in a same gender relationship, would negate 22 years of them existing in the books, canonically as part of a male-female couple. I mean Shondaland sure can, but it would be messy and complicated. 

This is why, when Shondaland creates characters for her own convenience, like Henry Granville, Will and Alice Mondrich or Theo Sharpe, the showrunners can play a lot more with their stories and plotlines and adapt them better to a modern audience. And I suspect it’s also the reason why new characters are being given their own storylines outside of the main cast. Simply because things like making an original character queer or having them rig their own boxing match, does not negate Julia’s 22 years of cannon storylines. It only adds to it.

If you know me in this blog, you know I am way too attached to Sophie and Phillip to wish for Benedict or Eloise’ sexuality to be gay. Just as a lot of people hate on Phillip and Sophie, simply because they wish Benedict to be gay and Eloise to lesbian. I want to keep sunshine Sophie and I also want to keep plant daddy Phillip where they canonically belong, happy inlove with their love interests. So I kinda want Benedict and Eloise to stay at least partially attracted to the opposite gender.

Don’t worry this just means that if Benedict and Eloise fall under the Pansexual, Bisexual or Demisexual umbrella of the Queer community I’ll be happy as ever. Or you know, they could be heterosexual, I’m not judging.  But I realistically don’t see any of the main cast having a same gender relationship, because of reasons cited above. And I’m sorry if that’s something that disappoints people. 

And that’s today’s tea
