#theloise

Philoise, on the other hand, feels like they’re declawing her and removing her teeth to mold her into societal norms and become a stepmother to two kids (despite her being shown to be uncomfortable with children), having her discover the joys of marriage (ignoring her vehement feelings against marriage as an institution), and erasing the “annoying” parts of her personality to make her easier to cater to the masses

Yes. I don't care whether they become canon—I know they'll always be endgame to us.

As promised, chapter 2 is here! Here's a little preview:

Anthony’s face broke out in a grin. “Sharpe! Say, have you been treating my sister well?” Eloise saw Theo try hard to find an answer to that particular question, so she jumped to his rescue when he could come up with nothing to say. “And why would he be treating me in any way, brother?” Anthony looked at her like it was not at all confusing and the most obvious thing he could have stated. “I thought it was universal to treat your partner well.” “Partner– what?” “Yes, are you not in a relationship?” Theo threw his hands up. “That’s the third time someone said that today.”

I can't. Like people!!! Has bridgerton lost its mind?!!! If this is true, I'm not watching. Like I cannot make myself sit through 8 hours of my favourite character being wronged like that! Following the book means stripping Eloise of everything she is loved for, she stands for. And hello, Theo provides the perfect way out.
