i mean the scots do get drunk at funerals, you just see a bunch of people wearing black in the pub and yk that they’re all celebrating someones life.. i loved this scene
and before part 2 comes out all the takes claiming they "ruined" & "erased" francesca's love for john are fucking stupid she's a lesbian in the show like obviously her feelings are going to be portrayed differently than in the book in which she is fucking straight
1. Tourettes is an arse, and can make people say horrific things they do not mean at all.
2. If BBC can edit out "Free Palestine" they can bloody well edit out the disabled person ticcing horrific language, rather than making a spectacle of him and magnifying the racist injury.
The connections in this one interview.
Virginia Giuffre reveals Epstein trafficked her to Andrew.
She’s hit by a bus then “commits suicide.”
The interviewer’s mother gets kidnapped and is still being held for ransom.
And today, Andrew was arrested.
He wasn’t arrested for sex crimes, no. But a man who once was institutionally untouchable, protected by our longest serving monarch, had the world and wealth at his beck and call, a man who's ego could never imagine this, being arrested AT ALL is HUGELY significant.
hannah worrying about the fans that might get hurt because of the hateful comments about franchaela they can read online…my shayla we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to play francesca and to tell her beautiful queer story
opening Instagram comments on any of Bridgerton's post about franchaela is truly what hell on earth must be like. "we got enough lgbtq representation with Benedict" there's no such thing as "enough" representation, specially for lesbians who do not get the same treatment as mlm
saying “i just hope they do his character justice” when john’s involved is ??? like he’s barely a character in the book and in the show they gave him SOOO much what the hell are you talking about
“I’m not sure what there is to do except remind people in a gentle, polite way, that we are also humans and we don’t owe an explanation about what we do with our personal lives. Our private lives and our public-facing selves are very different.”

Masali: “Michaela Stirling is an independent, bold and adventurous young woman in the Regency era, which are qualities that are rare to find in that society. She doesn’t play by society’s rules and that makes her an outsider. She’s a queer woman who is finding ways of living and experiencing joy in a world that doesn’t recognise her.”
simone ashley’s advice to masali
“just be deeply proud of what you’re representing and that many people are going to feel so seen by the story that you’re telling. we’re all here with open arms and so excited, this is what the world needs more of, more representation.”
For those who don't want to read it, this is "when he was wicked" aka Francesca's book lol
This person said everything.
Franchaela 🔛🔝and nothing for those who fight for this mess.
the messed up part about franchaela getting so much backlash and hate is the fact that they’re two women. if the change had been that fran was a male bridgerton who married a woman and fell in love with her male cousin y’all would be eating it up like no tomorrow
Having a parent die really changes you. Most coworkers and friends find out and say “sorry” one time and just forget. Meanwhile the fabric of what makes you as a person has been completely obliterated.
People think grief is crying. But grief is waking up tired. It’s forgetting words. It’s being pulled into memories you didn’t ask to remember. It’s holding back tears in the grocery store because a song or a scent brought them back. Grief isn’t just sadness, it’s the body remembering what the heart can’t let go of.
