Oh Eloise you are willing to change the world ? But you couldn't help a girl out of a wedding with an old man ?
This writing is inconsistent and bad
My thoughts on Michaela
Ok first : disclaimer, I have read the book, ok angry Michael fan ? I have read the book, I read all of them.
You can guess where my thought is going : it definitely could work.
There's just something about Francesca being startled by Michaela but quickly stuffing those feelings down. She's a married woman and she DOES love John, in some way.
And then when she need Michaela the most, she vanished. (And maybe married to have a baby with some lord for the succession ?... To think about)
Then she comes back and Francesca starts to feel things but no she can't. It's John's cousin for heaven's sake she's betraying John again, she tried to have a child with him !!!She wants children, you need a man for children.
And it's wrong she's a woman, a lady. She always followed societal rules she does NOT like women. She is different enough, she doesn't need something else.
Then there's Michaela. She always liked Francesca, from the moment she saw her.
But it's impossible, she's John's wife, her almost brother's wife.
Francesca is a good woman she likes following the rules, she wants children, she's a perfect lady. No way she is like Michaela, attracted to girls.
And getting with her isn't just betraying John, it's betraying Francesca. She's already cast away from society, she wants children and she deserves it. John would want her happy and no way is Michaela going to make this impossible.
I've also seen people being worried because John was supposed to be Francesca's first love. But he can still be, sure she has a spark for Michaela but nothing more. John and her have a connection something deep, that's going to leave a real hole in her life.
And if anything worries about sex scene you can have consensual sex even if one isn't into it (an example that strikes me is in “The day of a fallen night” which is the most interesting, on a writing level, sex scene I've read)
Eloise should have been the villain in season 3
Listen, I'm the biggest Eloise apologist ever but I can't keep on defending her. She should have been the villain and it could have solved SO MUCH of the issues with the stories.
Eloise has been rejected by society the reality hits her hard after Penelope, rightfully, called her on her bullshit with the “not everyone can be a pretty Bridgertons” speech. And when she was at her lowest she learned that her friend is the one that betrayed her.
She was trying to make amends and to listen to her friends... And where did that get her ?
She's tired of society, she's tired of trying to fit in she just doesn't care. She's mean, she's unapologetic, she laughs when a suitor asks her to dance with him. She's gone. Because what's the point anyways ? She has already lost everything.
There's a lack of drama ? Eloise will GIVE that drama right into the household. Plus I mean a Bridgeton villain? With their capacity to get away with everything ? And it frustrates her because she's just proving Penelope right but she can't stop, she's on a rampage.
And here comes Cressida, always the mean girl, who sees in Eloise the reflection of what she is inside and she makes the first step towards her. What's more beautiful than her and Eloise both evolving out of this cycle, maturing hands in hands.
Eloise learns that people CAN change and as Penelope doesn't write about any of her wrong doing, she starts to see the light.
But she doesn't need to become directly bff with Penelope again, it's not realistic. People change and mature (which is an undertones of this season I'm kinda seeing ?). Things will never be the same again.
Also their friendship wasn't benefiting for none of them. Penelope and Eloise need to make their own space their own friends and grow.
Eloise was literally like that in part one
And you're going to tell me that in the laps of one or two episodes she doesn't eveb bother to listen to Cressida telling her that a 70y old man wants to marry her ? That the friendship was “falling appart" ?!?
I can't bring myself to watch the last two episodes
I just finished the episode “Tick Tock” of Bridgerton and what the actual FUCK. It wasn't THAT bad but Eloise ?!?
I'm sorry but “I wish I could do something" girl ?!? You're telling me you can't help ? Can't talk about it to your family? Mind you nothing would be my priority but helping a girl get out of a marriage with a seventy years old man.
