AH, thanks friend! I needed this.

In the books.... I ADORE the family/girls tea moments of Sophie joining Violet and the girls for tea. I hope we get that in the show. All the girls/sisters bickering, and Sophie pricking her fingers at any mention of Benedict. Lol.

in the show? Gosh.... That macron scene with Ben, Hy & Greg was so funny b/c that's exactly what siblings are like, no matter how old they are. I also REALLY love the scene of Kate & Eloise in S3 as well.

Please guys, send me more stuff like this occasionally. It doesn't have to be show related all the time. It can be like: "Oh wouldn't it be great if *insert Bridgerton family actor here* got a role in a movie/show like this." or "I fancast SA/JB/LT/CJ, etc as this character from this book/comic/whatever."

!!! thank you for coming into my inbox! i appreciate your take. yeah, I think a lot of the particularly vocal Pen stans see the entirety of Bton as being about her (or imprint on her so hard that they erase what her character actually is and just use her as a self insert, thus Colin becomes a punching bag because he represents their own unrequited love story) and then get really defensive whenever there's any criticism about her actions or mindset. There are really valid discussions that should happen about her actions as LW! and I hate how so many people take it out on Colin, even though, objectively, he's done probably the least hurtful things in the entirety of the series out of the male love leads. plz join me in defending him, we are friends now and we're in it together <3

plus, as a neurodivergent person who recognizes Colin as being ND coded, I feel particularly strongly about how people talk about him not recognizing Penelope's feelings. so many of us got bullied for not recognizing specific social situations or hints and it's the same regurgitation w/ him, too. he's not a real person so obvs he won't ever see that, but Luke Newton *is* ND and so are a lot of people who like his character, and seeing it is infuriating. he's a fantastic friend to Penelope and just because he isn't in love w/ her whilst she props him up as a romantic fantasy instead of her friend doesn't make him a bad dude

Gotta love how this toxic fandom rolls. You disagree with me? You dare to criticize the wonder that is OUaT? You must be an asshole, obviously. We must all conform to the same opinions and then all will be right with the fandom. Ugh. Morons.

Yeah, it’s ridiculous. Especially since they said that I was infesting the fandom. Really? When they were the ones calling me names. Yeah.

I’m not a fan either. Everyone loves it but I couldn’t get into it. Not really a fan of that sort of format either. The Office bores me to death too.

Wow! @fromtheashess I had no idea I wasn't the ONLY person open to shipping Wizard Swan (your post, here).

I thought it was possible, that once we knew Walsh was just a guy a from Kansas (who, admittedly may have done some not so great things as the Wizard) who had been turned into a flying monkey minion of Zelena's, that all that time as a monkey/henchman might have caused him to repent for any past transgressions--and that in that year with Emma that maybe, he too, felt like he had found something 'pretty great'.

She admitted she had been in love with/loved him.

And he was a character that knew about magic, so Storybrooke, etc would not have freaked him out.
