Still Life

i bet Michaela was secretly SO embarassed to have fallen head over heels in love with Francesca Bridgerton at first sight, like favourite cousin's wife aside it's the most reputation ruining thing that has ever happened to her in her five foot nothing rake life, like ohhh really? You've developed an all-consuming, soul destroying passion for Francesca Bridgerton? Diamond of the season Francesca Bridgerton? Everyone wants her Francesca Bridgerton? Tall gorgeous porcelaine skin pretty hair big lovely hazel eyes piano player beautiful woman Francesca Bridgerton? You can't get her out of your mind? You fall asleep dreaming of her lips? God fucking really. How original. Florals for spring groundbreaking. She thinks the pretty girl is pretty. Should we tell everyone? Should we throw a ball? Should we invite Bella Hadid

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

your ex is a narcissist? so he must struggle with close friendships, right--oh, he's respectful to his male friends? he only acts this way around women? that's crazy, they should invent a word for such a phenomenon

Oh.

When my aunt was in her late 20s people used to rudely ask her “Why aren’t you married yet?” and she’d reply “Just lucky, I guess” which I think is one of the best things I have ever heard

i like a character who follows all of the rules their whole life and then ends up with big fucking nothing except their own self righteous #coping because the rules arent actually good for them or for anybody else
