The iconic opening sequence, an all-time favourite!
A minute in and we're given our first hit of the Bridgerton family, with all the amazing sibling vibes.
Gregory, channeling his best Captain America. Does that make Hyacinth "Falcon"?
Francesca getting some of her only lines out, early in the season. I forgot she existed, the first time I watched. Poor Frannie.
This volley between Colin and Benedict is so fun. It also hints at how Colin and Daphne are close, which we get in the books but unfortunately not much more than this in the show. I guess there's only so much you can fit in!
And of course, the fabulous Eloise! It's no wonder she was my favourite character in season 1. Hilarious moment and what a way to start the first season!

my lovely ronnie, have you watched Bridgerton and if so, what are your fancasts in the show?
i love you and i can’t wait for the next method acting chapter 💘💘
my LOVELY nonnie,
I rambled again so read break
have I watched bridgerton?? OH IVE WATCHED BRIDGERTON. that being said, thank you for all the love on the story (spoiler alert: you will not have to wait too long for the next chapter...hehe)
bridgerton season one
the duke and daphne, oh the icons that you are
they give me more of a classic, romatic love story vibes so i'm going to give this one to jeankasa
mikasa is slaying the house down as the diamond of the season, esp that one scene where she drops the fan and makes the prince pick it up
jean is too good at playing an angsty little emo boy, esp in that one scene where he gets to pretend to duel with anthony
bridgerton season two
kate sharma and anthony bridgerton, oh the superstars that YOU are
this one is going straight to our beloveds, sukuna and y/n
sukuna is TOO good at playing anthony as an asshole in season one, and far better at playing him as the sensitive sweet soul that he is in season two
half of the banter between them is literally not even in the script, they're actually just fighting with each other in period clothes
eren's eyes are closed during the sex scenes and he is infinitely thankful that you and sukuna were NOT the duke and daphne bc lord have mercy that one wildest dreams scene was SO OUT OF POCKET JFDKLJF
bridgerton season three
colin and pen? you mean...sasha and sweet baby boy nico
(this will make more sense after the chapter, trust)
but I feel like sasha and nico can relate to that dynamic so hard of being best friends first, sasha feeling inadequate because maybe she's not treated the same as other girls but nico always loves her (maybe if he isn't ENTIRELY aware of it)
sasha would so be lady whistledown too + connie is her accomplice that helps her!!!
bridgerton prequel
queen charlotte and george!!!
obviously going to the loves of our lives, sweet levihan. yup.
notable mentions
connie is benedict. I take no further criticism actually that one scene of him being high at that dinner is connie coded (no shade to connie, our pookie is sober now but I just mean that he's a very unserious king like benedict)
gabi hyacinth then what??? then what??

I know I'm a week late and the brilliant Rashmi aka @mrskatebridgerton already aired the grievances for both of us shshssh (will be reblogging those posts soon) but I wanna put my two cents in as the Captain of the Ruby Stokes Will Always Be Frannie Agenda! (We need a shorter title 😂)
I will fully admit I am bias for Ruby and still resistant to Hannah as Francesca but I am willing to give her a chance in terms of performance. Even more so now because her S3 looks have disappointed me.
I'm not reblogging the pap pics of her - Kathony, Benny, Hyacinth & Violet are the only ones in the shots as far as I’m concerned lmao. But I will be posting links to my fave Ruby posts and edits on IG later to make up for it! Anyways, we've all seen the pictures by now.
God, did they HAVE to make her look like Daphne 2.0? I actually thought it was Daphne when she was covered by the gate wtf it was insane. They aren’t even going to pretend that it’s the same person for continuity??? I really liked Hannah’s darker red hair - I think it was the Anatomy of a Scandal red carpet look and thought they would keep that or at least darken it slightly to keep to the iconic Bridgerton chestnut colour from the books and a middle ground from Ruby’s darker hair on the show. But nope we’re getting Daphne 2.0 from the hairstyle, hair colour and even down to the dress. If I wanted to watch S1 again I would just watch it on Netflix rn instead of rehashing the ‘helping you get a suitor’ plot with Polio and seeing Daphne’s mini me.
Also while the complete copy paste is bugging me but another part of me is worried for Frannie's characterisation because the show DOES NOT have a good track record with their Diamonds. They've all been superficial and vapid at times. Peak Popular Girl vibes and don’t even get be started on Little Miss R*pist.
They should have subverted the Popular Girl-Diamond trope even more with Edwina but instead decided to give us the shit show that is the triangle and her actually being into society norms sigh. What made Eddie so interesting in the books is that she only pretended to be perfect to get a husband out of survival and was mostly uninterested in the whole process of the marriage mart. But no they wanted her to be able to do both in the show which is valid if they didn't make her book smarts so superficial - alot of fucking telling instead of showing in S2 for the Sharmas 😭
Similarly, Frannie didn't set out to be the Incomparable of her season and we know from the books, she likes to keep to herself and is generally just vibing and doing her own thing so it's not like she was vying for the role. Now I'm worried they'll do the same with Frannie with the Show Diamond Syndrome sighhhhh. Let her be different and her own person goddammit!! That's what made her alluring to her suitors.
Also just to be clear, there’s nothing wrong with conforming to society or even taking joy in it! (God knows I hate the NLOG trope but I do appreciate heroines who are different from each other and are their own people) I just wish once they were bestowed the Diamond title, it didn’t become their whole personality and lose their depth as characters sigh. Anyways that’s my opinion - honestly this shouldn’t be unpopular so I’m not calling it that. I complain enough so after reblogging Rashmi’s takes on it, Imma be posting Ruby ehehe so keep an eye out!

have you watched abbott elementary? bc this teachers au one shot would be everything, benophie would be giving gregory/janine! also mrs. danbury would be one of the few older teachers in the school rolling her eyes and her younger peers but rooting for them nonetheless and scolding benedict and anthony to get their shit together and shoot their shot
No but I've seen gifs, clips, and memes of it! I'm from the UK so I don't know how to view it (other than watching it online via dodgy links lmao) but I really want to watch it! From what I've seen it's got Park and Recs vibes, plus the Gregory/Janine relationship is already looking to be as iconic as Leslie/Ben, Jim/Pam, Jake/Amy. My favourite clip is when they're meeting that one teacher's boyfriend and Ava exclaims "Black?" and he goes "It's actually pronounced Zach" - and that one moment single-handedly told me that this sitcom is going to be up there with the greats.
Mrs Danbury is actually going to be the headmistress, who is absolutely done with Kanthony's shit and constantly has to call them to her office to tell them to stop arguing in front of the students. She also does everything in her power to push Benophie together, whether that's having them chaperone on the same school trip or pairing them up for the three-legged race on Sports Day. Danbury would also have to contend with Hyacinth Bridgerton calling her Agatha despite the numerous times she has to tell the girl just because she knows her outside of school as she's friends with her mother, doesn't mean she can go about calling her by her first name at school.

Next up on Bella Talks Writing is Ruined.
When that night in Anthony's study doesn't end with just a kiss, there's only one thing Anthony can do to make things right. Except that that is the last thing Kate wants.
This was actually from a prompt on Twitter. It is now one of my most popular fics. And honestly, it's one of my personal favorites, too. So, the premise is that Kate and Anthony actually end up having sex in his study the night of the musicale. Anthony goes to her the next day to propose, but she has run away to Somerset. After a bit of sibling meddling, Anthony is finally able to go after her a few weeks later. It quickly becomes apparent that she is quite likely pregnant, but she still refuses to marry him. He asks her to give him a week to try to convince her. As of where we've left off, she has finally agreed to marry him after overhearing him telling the baby he loves him one night when he thinks she's asleep.
So, obviously, what's next is a trip to Gretna Green. With a pregnant Kate dealing with morning sickness in a rickety carriage. (Because I don't care how rich Anthony is, even really good carriages tend to be a bit rickety.) I have plans for what comes after that. There will be a short honeymoon at Aubrey Hall before the rest of the Bridgertons descend to prepare for the country house party Violet had planned. Gregory's reaction to Anthony's marriage and impending fatherhood is hilarious. Hyacinth's... is kind of heartbreaking. I've actually already written a scene between her and Kate that I'm really looking forward to being able to post. I just need to get there. We'll also get to see how already being married and expecting a child will affect some of the more iconic scenes from the book. Yes, there will be pall mall, Cressida being a bitch, and the library scene. Only this time, the library scene is triggered by Anthony waking up alone and going off specifically to find his wife. I don't know if there will be a bee scene. There will not be a carriage accident. These two have been through quite enough, here. I'm not about to almost kill Kate off for the drama.
One other interesting tidbit is that there is actually at least one deleted scene. I had originally planned a scene of Violet going to see Mary, but never found a place to put it. I haven't written it out, yet, but if anyone is interested, I could type it up.
It can be found here

7, 18, 26 + I & M :-)
7. bridgerton – teen and up audiences – texting
18. i love when people tell me their thoughts about the characters – what they liked, how they relate, their personal feelings about them, etc. – just so i can chat about them too when i respond! i feel like so many thoughts/headcanons have been birthed that way. or even a line the reader liked! it’s very nice when people take the time to tell me any of their reactions to things.
26. I do not believe in leaving anyone out due to their age. [Hyacinth kinda miffed she wasn't in the 1814 Pall Mall match]
M. i have a few comfort reads! –
this one (x) is an all-time fave. it's essentially a missing final chapter of the book. i think about his brothers getting in that tree with him all the time.
(x) i absolutely adore this one. wtf. smother me with its cuteness. i also think about it whenever i think of colin singing in the finale.
(x) the iconic-ness of this one. the lore of this one. i'm opening it up constantly just to bask in it.
(x) i love both of these two. the povs of edmund and miles are so much fun, and both of these are hilarious. pls.
(x) this one. i come back to it all the time – all the pov's are so much fun, but eloise's, especially? just beautiful.
(x) this one is an adorable, adorable one that's actually not in the colin/pen tag! i found it just by going to the "colin bridgerton" tag and going to the first page. i have to go back and tell this author this, but this one is cemented in my head as canon.
(x) this one. i'm a thot. why lie. jaw was on the floor the rest time i read it and it is dropped rereading.
(x) THIS ONE it's also canon. wtf. this is actually what happened.
(x) the FEELS this one brings out?? goodbye. them at the gala together, secretly togther, is so cute.
(x) this one. goddammit. it's so cute. i want to fall to the floor thinking about it.
(x) i also read this one a lot. i have so many question about the logistics. luckily the author is my bud and has answered them sflkwjofiej
(x) friends to lovers for kate and anthony. this one..... yeah :) just yeah :) everything about it is so wonderful, and it's a beautiful story.
(x) this one also. again please don't perceive me!! i'm a thot. also these are all canon.
(x) this one. again, wtf!! it's so good. that man is a menace and a whore. and the way!!!!!!!! the first kiss is written!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(x) this one is recent and i gave the writer the prompt, and it was better than i ever could have imagined. i love these besties.
so, to answer your question. i have a few!
