so apparently, the first thing bucky remembers is the coney island .. a place he used to visit with steve .. makes me think that he probably would have had remembered steve multiple times before he was forced into absolute submission .. dont mind me, i'm gonna go cry

I need to see Benedict Bridgerton so deeply in love with Sophie that it consumes him—that every inch of him aches to touch her, to kiss her. His love for her should be so fierce that he would leave society behind if it meant keeping her by his side. I want his love for Sophie to torture him every day, burning within him like an inferno, pushing him to destroy anything that stands in the way of her happiness.

Sophie deserves to experience love, trust, and care—every gentle and tender thing life has to offer. After all the cruelty she's endured, she needs to be cherished so completely that the hardships of her past fade into nothing more than a distant memory. Every good thing should come her way, replacing the pain she’s suffered with the warmth and joy she’s always deserved.

And the jail scene—it has to happen. I need that kiss in the jail. I need Benedict to declare Sophie as his fiancée in front of his mother, and I need Violet Bridgerton to step forward, defending Sophie as a true sign of acceptance into the family.

Finally, the Benedict and Sophie season is *here*, and it’s honestly everything. Their story has always hit different, and seeing it play out on screen? Feels unreal. The casting? Absolutely nailed it—these two are *perfect* for the roles. Can’t wait to watch their story unfold. The vibes are immaculate.

This season is about to hit me so haaaard!

Yes, he did consider marrying the "lady in silver" because she was part of the ton, but it's important to remember that Sophie and the lady in silver were the only two women he ever seriously thought about marrying.

Benedict’s character development is key here. He transitions from believing that making Sophie his mistress was the only way to keep her safe to publicly declaring her as his fiancée in front of the magistrate. That powerful growth wouldn’t exist without the mistakes he made early on.

By removing Benedict's mistakes, we'd strip him of his complexity, making him a far less interesting character. His internal battles shape him into someone strong enough to stand by the woman he loves, despite societal pressures.

okay hear me out, anthony has the burden of his family in a way that he was to be the provider and benedict in a way that he had the name, that was earned by both his father and then his brother, to protect

But I think both of them were hurt in a similar way, it's just that both their lives were shaped in such different ways that their stories somehow turned out to be so different from each other.

Think about it, would Anthony have set about to marry just anyone as long as she were a suitable lady for his household if he weren't a viscount ? I don't think so. And what would have happened, if benedict were the viscount, would he have been so outwardly blithe? I don't think that too

To me it's almost very endearing of how similar these two brothers are. Even though their ways of dealing with their pain are so very different from each other, they are the same in so many ways one cannot describe.

I read a quote the other day on these two, idk if anthony said it (if anyone knows where it is from, do tell me) .. it said “he is my only brother, the others are my children” .. and yes, it completely suits my favourite bridgerton men and brothers.

Their stories are my favourites because of how strongly kate shook Anthony's walls and how magically sophie walts into benedict's heart.

I want sophie to reject benedict physically so many times, that he goes back to think of how every other relationship he has ever had, in which he thought he was in love because the physical intimacy was good, was actually not love, because he would realise that no matter how much sophie rejects him (and he knows she does it not because she doesn't wants to, but because she thinks she has no other choice) he would want her and only her. I want him to crave her touch.

I want benedict bridgerton literally roaming around sophie as if his entire existence belongs to her and matters only if she is around, and him to realise how hard he has fallen in love with a woman who doesn't think herself worthy of someone in his position

I want benedict to erase sophie's fear of falling in love with him because she is the reason he has been able to fight that fear himself. I want benedict to hold sophie like she is so important to him, as if he would rather d!e than let her or her hopes down .. idk if people understand this, but it is very important for me

He needs that story for him to believe in the magic of permanence of love, of how love connects souls together and no matter how ever a person disguises themselves, the bond that love created, stays. He needs to know that love isn't fleeting, it isn't shifting, it is something that one's heart holds on to

All he has known in his life is the physical attraction to people, which now he knows, means too little. He needs to be hit by the love arrow so hard that it shakes his entire existence and makes him averse to anything else but that feeling he gets when he is around the one woman he knows he had always loved. So yeah, benedict bridgerton needs the cinderella trope and sophie beckett at this stage and I don't think people realise how much!

Bucky stops by the mention of steve's name and then looks like it has shifted something huge in him

and he is out there, don't know if out of custody he was kept in, or not, but looks like he found a strand of hope, IM GONNA GO CRY
