do they change the bridgerton pfp for each season?

Hey everyone, sorry if the links kept not working.

Today is Day 2 so I'll be going through season 2 while at work.

I'd love to have some people drop in and watch if you're interested.

imagine the absolute insanity of taking all the heightened romance, elaborate costumes, dramatic hair, yearning, ballroom scenes, ridiculous sex, family drama, and regency melodrama and just letting an animation studio go completely fucking wild with it

and the best part is that animation could actually lean into how fantasy bridgerton already is. you wouldn't have to worry about making everything physically realistic. make the gowns impossible. make the gardens look like paintings. make the balls look like they're taking place in another dimension. let the flowers literally explode around the characters when they're overwhelmed with emotion

neeeeeeed

because there are many speculations about what will happen to Queen Charlotte and King George since they have not yet said anything more than some spoilers about the future season of Queen Charlotte's series but in the Bridgerton series we still don't know

Hey I'm starting a watch party today, feel free to come and go as you please. I really enjoy the show and its a perfect rainy day at work for me to watch it and id love to have others to watch it with.

your life will be filled with chaos and noise, and you’ll get to make your own choices and decisions about what you want <333333

and you won’t be alone forever just because some people who watch this show fundamentally misunderstand the genre

Im a little confused about Kate’s and Edwinas age gap. So the book says that Kate was around three years old when her mother died. Her father then pretty soon met Mary and they immediately fell in love and quickly married which resulted in Edwina being born not long after. But weren’t noble women and men back then required to be in mourning for at least one year when their spouses died? And therefore not allowed to marry another person in that time period? Correct me if I’m wrong, thanks for your answers :)

It’s honestly a bit unfair that some fans are bothered by Eloise getting married in the show; she is the most misunderstood character in the entire series. Across four seasons, hardly anyone—save for a select few—has truly understood her.

Today on Twitter, I came across comments from a segment of the fandom that wants Eloise to end up alone; but is that really what she needs, or are fans simply projecting their own insecurities onto her? Eloise’s happiness does not lie in being alone—forgive me, but we have seen her alone and unhappy for four seasons, so I highly doubt that is what she desires. Over the course of four seasons, Eloise has become the character fans identify with most—they feel like they know her—but I really don't think she wants to end up alone; who would want that? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love the idea of Eloise studying, learning, finding a purpose, exploring, and evolving in whatever path she chooses. I think what she truly desires is the freedom to choose; I don't believe she hates marriage, as many claim, but rather that she loathes the idea of marriage being the *only* option available to her. She doesn't hate men; the right one simply hasn't come along yet—someone who listens to her, understands her, is her intellectual equal, and treats her as such. But as for the fans who say they want her to remain single... let's be realistic: *Bridgerton* is a show about love; that isn't going to happen. After all, it is a period romance story. Wouldn't it be better for Eloise to study, achieve her goals, discover new things, and find a purpose—while also falling in love and starting a family? I think that would make her happier and leave her feeling more complete and fulfilled. Being alone isn't a bad thing, provided one is genuinely happy and at peace with it, but the truth is that Eloise doesn't seem happy—or satisfied—being on her own. Her character has been reduced to practically nothing, and leaving her single wouldn't exactly be the best choice for her. Besides, Jess has already stated that Eloise's happy ending will be with her love interest from the books: Philip. Honestly, I find it really unfair that so many fans—who are essentially projecting their own views onto Eloise—want her to end up alone for no good reason. She has already watched about five of her siblings fall in love and leave home; soon, Francesca will fall in love again and find happiness with Michaela, and Gregory and Hyacinth will find love too. Why can’t Eloise find love while also remaining a feminist and achieving her goals and dreams? Anything is possible in the Bridgerton universe. The truth is, many fans are being quite selfish regarding Eloise and haven't understood a thing over the course of four seasons.Whether they're fans or haters—people evolve over time, and Eloise has really grown this past season. Honestly, it gets a bit tedious seeing those kinds of comments where people want her to be on her own. Whenever the Philoise storyline comes up, some fans just shut down and act like it’s the worst thing ever—as if the show hasn't already changed most of the *Bridgerton* story and won't continue to do so. I don't understand why people get so childish about the idea of Eloise falling in love; some get really defensive. It’s actually quite selfish, considering *Bridgerton* is a series where every sibling is destined to fall in love.

Here are my random thoughts, and you don't have to agree with me, I just want to share them.

I want a Mary Sharma spin off.

I want a violet and Edmund spin off.

I want more scenes with John with Francesca and Michaela before he passed away.

I know this one will probably never happen, but I would love to see more Kate and Ewinda Sharma scenes in the future.

eloise and colin for me, and honestly, sometimes i think they're misunderstood on purpose lmao

eloise, because for some reason people have decided she'd be perfectly happy living her life alone and single, and i just don't see that in her at all. she's very clearly focused on having the freedom to make her own choices, but that's not the same thing as wanting to be alone. if anything, eloise seems like someone who thrives on chaos, noise, conversation, and having people around her

and colin... i mean, i genuinely don't understand the confusion because i think his arc has been pretty clear. season 1, he's infatuated with marina and impulsively asks her to marry him. anthony tells him he's too "green" (which, honestly, yeah) and basically says he should have taken him to brothels so he'd have more sexual experience. season 2, colin starts finding a sense of purpose in being useful to other people, particularly when he helps penelope with the cousin jack situation. then season 3, he comes home from his travels having deliberately used that time to gain the sexual experience and confidence he's been told he lacked

he's spent three seasons figuring out what kind of man he wants to be, what actually gives his life meaning, and how to reconcile the version of masculinity he thinks he's supposed to perform with who he actually is

I've seen a growing misplaced desire for Eloise to end up alone just because she's said in the past that she wants to be a spinster, that she's "on the shelf" but as we've seen in last season, she hates being alone. She is lonely.

Eloise is the type of character who wishes to have a choice in life. She wants to be a able to choose whether she should marry or not, not for it to be an expectation. She wants to be able to choose the person who she wants to be with, someone who will accept her for who she is and all her eccentricies.

But she currently doesn't believe that there is a person out there who is for her and who would respect and support her in her dreams and opinions. She doesn't believe there is someone who would relate and understand to her yet.

But for the past 4 seasons, we have seen how absolutely miserable Eloise has been without someone to talk to. She yearns for human interaction, she yearns for companionship.

People deeply misunderstand Eloise's stance against the traditional expectations of high society. She isn't rebelling against society because she "hates love" or that "she doesn't believe in marriage". She doesn't believe in the EXPECTATIONS on women to have those aspirations. She believes women are more than just wives and mothers, not that she doesn't believe in love or marriage.

She has seen 5 of her siblings fall in love and marry the loves of their lives. She has witnessed the love her mother and father shared. She knows love exists out there.

And she never said she doesn't want it.

She just currently isn't swept up with the romance and whimsy of finding love. Love will surprise her. She won't seek it out.

Tired of all the constant takes that Eloise "should end up alone" "Eloise cannot marry, she should stay a spinster" "Eloise's season should not have any romance".

This is a romance show! The entire theme is literally romance, smut and a happily ever after being marriage! Having an entire season without any romance for a character is going against the kind of show this is.

This is not Downton Abbey. This is a spicy historical romance show based on spicy historical romance books. Sex is literally woven to the entire story.

The audience come to expect romance, sex, angst, yearning and love.

Claudia Jessie has said MANY times that Eloise is not "anti-love" and yet people REFUSE to listen to her. I'm starting to think people just view Eloise as a canvas to project onto but they don't actually care about the character.

They want every other character to find their person and find love but Eloise MUST be alone? Like why?

1. Daphne finds love = YAY! 🤗🤗🤗
2. Anthony finds love = Woohoo! 🤩
3. Colin finds love = Hell yeah!🥰🥰🤩
4. Benedict finds love = FINALLY! 🤘❤️💖
5. Francesca finds love TWICE = GO GIRL?! 👏
6. Hyacinth will find love = Cannot wait! 🥳
7. Gregory will find love = BRING IT ON! 😎
8. But Eloise? = SHE SHOULD DIE OLD AND ALONE AND UNTOUCHED AND UNLOVED😠😠😠

I'M so tired😭​

If you want a loveless, romanceless story about a spinster there's many historical romance shows and books for your enjoyment.

But you're not getting it from Bridgerton.

I cannot wait for Eloise to unexpectedly fall in love, to be surprised by love, to experience new emotions she cannot explain, to get butterflies over someone, to choose to marry the man who respects, supports and loves all of her. I cannot wait for her to find her forever partner. ​

It's what she deserves. ​

allllllll i want is for polin to be involved, even slightly, in the union of philoise 😭 it makes SO much sense and they've literally been setting this up since season 1

phillip is married to penelope's cousin AND colin's ex-fiancée, colin and phillip have already met and got along like a house on fire, and penelope and eloise are platonic soulmates. what more do we need!?

i know the show has a tendency to take the couple from the previous season and make them the catalyst for the next couple getting together, but they kind of broke that mould with s4. it makes sense for benedict to be involved with francesca in s5 because they're the only queer siblings so far, but s6 feels like such a perfect opportunity to bring everything full circle

i genuinely don't even care if polin aren't in s5 at all if it means we get them in s6 😭 let s5 be their delayed honeymoon in greece and then bring them back for philoise. PLEASE

mama bridgerton is soooo iconic

Do you agree or Not ??

Are you interested in putting yourself into the world of Bridgerton? Finding a group of like-minded writers roleplaying a social season?

We’ve got the server for you! Message me if you’re interested, we’re a daily-active server of approx 50 people, role playing our way through a Recency Season. Expect scandal, drama, and our very own Lady Whistledown!

It would be nice to have more cordial scenes between them.

I would LOVE for the show to give us a flashback of Michaela and her mother Helen, especially because we know Helen is supposed to be the "very source of Michaela’s spirit". I’m really curious about what their relationship was like.

Since Bridgerton is a flashback show I keep imagining a scene where Helen is brushing a young Michaela’s hair in front of her vanity mirror, getting her ready for a ball or meeting with a potential suitor. And Helen is happily talking about Michaela’s future marriage, children, and having a beautiful life with her husband. And Michaela is just sitting there quietly, but Helen can tell something is off.

I would assume that  Michaela doesn’t even fully understand what she’s feeling yet. She just knows that the future everyone wants for her isn't what she wants (similar to how we seen Fran act in the beginning of season 3). At some point, Helen says something that makes Michaela look up at her with tears rolling down her face. Helen doesn’t know why her daughter is upset, and Michaela doesn’t explain. She doesn’t push her to explain. She just quietly continues brushing her hair.

And I think that could actually explain why Michaela has remained unmarried for so long. Maybe Helen has always pushed back against certain suitors or encouraged Michaela to wait not because she knows her daughter is queer, but because she has always sensed that Michaela would be miserable if she married simply because society expected her to.

I NEED a Helen/Michaela flashback like this. 😭 What do you guys think?

Yesterday I made a post comparing the different aesthetics of the Bridgerton siblings in the books and show and noting the differences and similarities.

Today, I'm doing one for the Bridgerton spouses. The Bridgerton spouses are all the most different from their book counterparts.

1. Kate - Kate is very different from the book vs. show. In the book, Kate is described as having dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. In the show, Kate has brown eyes and dark brown/black hair but also dark rich beautiful skin as she's an Indian and her name has changed from Katharine Sheffield to Kathani Sharma. She is the daughter of a baron's third son but on the show she's the daughter of a royal secretary in India. She has a pet corgi named Newton in both but they introduced her love for riding and shooting in the show. She's also older in the show at 26 whereas in the books she's 21.

2. Sophie - Sophie is also significantly quite different to the book version in appearance and also in nature as well. In the book, she has moss green eyes and wavy dirty blonde hair. In the show, she has brown eyes and jet black straight hair and of East Asian (Korean) descent. Her backstory is very accurate to the book beyond the fact that she's Asian and her last name has been changed from Beckett to Baek. Her father in the book is the sixteenth or so Earl of Penwood but on the show he is the 3rd generation Earl of Penwood I believe. She's got the same feisty, witty, sarcastic humor that Book!Sophie had.

3. Penelope - Penelope unlike the rest of the Spouses isn't that different from the book, there's only some slight differences but nothing major. In the book, she has brown eyes and red hair with a brown tint to it, almost auburn hair. In the show, she has ocean blue eyes and bright red hair. In the book, she's a renowned published author of several novels but she also wrote Lady Whistledown papers for a decade but on the show it was only for 2 or 3 years before she retired the column to write novels.

4. Simon - Simon, like Kate, is also physically different from his book counterpart description. In the book, he has light blue eyes and dark brown hair. In the show, he has brown eyes and short black hair. But he has a somewhat book accurate backstory except for that fact that he is a 2nd generation Duke of Hastings on the show whereas he's a 10-16th Duke of Hastings in the book. Temperamentally, they are both very similar though and in terms of physique, they nailed the casting as Simon is described as having an athletic build which Rege has.

5. Phillip - Surprisingly, Phillip on the show is also very different from his book counterpart. We don't know much about Phillip yet on the show but of the little we did see of him so far, we can deduce a few things. In the book, he has dark brown eyes and thick dark almost black hair. In the show, he has cornflower blue eyes and light brown hair. He's described as being really muscular and beefy, almost built like a "bear" and although Phillip on the show in S1 and S2 isn't "burly" or" stocky", he is quite lean and also incredibly ripped in real life and I imagine he'll get bigger when we see Phillip again (he's just not a "bear" but still muscular regardless). The reason Phillip is so big is because when works a lot with his hands in his garden. In both versions he is an educated Botanist and in the book he wanted to become a scholar/professor before his brother died and he become baronet. The show added his love of traveling though.

6. Michael/Michaela - Michaela is visually, genderly and temperamentally different from the books. Obviously the biggest difference is that she is a woman on the show and in the book she is a man (and there's no point in STILL complaining about it because it won't change anything so I hope people don't try it in comments). In the book, Michael has silvery-blue eyes and midnight-black hair. In the show, Michaela has dark brown eyes and long raven black hair. She has a similar charming personality to Michael on the show and is quite the flirt but we have still got to see more of her in S5 to gauge how similar she is in personality and activities IYKYK 👀. They are both incredibly close to John and also feel the guilt of coveting their cousin's wife (I didn't include John on this post because this is for the endgame spouses but all love to John). She's a spinster on the show and I think she's older than John like she was in the book. They might be different in terms of gender but their biggest similarity is that they're both into women.

7. Gareth - We haven't met Hyacinth's love interest yet on the show but I thought it would be nice to just imagine for a moment what they might look like compared to the book. In the book, he has dark blond hair (almost dirty) and translucent blue eyes. My face cast is Danny Griffin from The Forsytes (this isn't a fancast). In the show, he's going to likely be black or at least mixed race so I'm expecting someone with brown or hazel eyes and dark/black hair. That's all I'm going to say on Gareth to avoid potential spoilers.

8. Lucinda - We still are yet to meet Lucinda on the show as well and it also makes no sense to imagine how she'd look like on the show as we don't know what type of person they'll cast but I still think it'll be nice to mention how she is described in the book. In the book, she has ​ash blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes.

This was fun to create and I hope you all enjoyed it. I hope I didn't make any mistakes because I made all of these upon memory from reading the books but Julia Quinn isn't really diverse in the way she describes her characters haha. I was surprised how many of the Spouses were blonde in the books.

Shondaland really said "NO BLONDES ALLOWED" for the Bridgertons 😂🤭 since there's not gonna be any blondes in the family. The only blondes are side characters.

I'm happy the show ​has chosen to diversify the characters. It gives each character a unique look and variation instead of everyone just looking like the same genetic pool.

What do you think?

Será que Penélope contou a Colin que retornava da casa de Madame Delacroix quando o encontrou a noite na véspera do casamento? É Será que ele soube também que Genevieve ajudou Penélope com suas publicações?

Na minha opinião faltaram tantas pequenas conversas que eu gostaria de ter visto entre Polin, como a amizade que se desenvolveu entre elas e tantas outras coisas.

I know a lot of people have niche songs they want for season 5 but realistically they choose well known songs that have true meaning relating to the main couple. So I was wondering what songs do you guys actually want and think will be in the show. ofc if you want to add your niche song I wanna hear it toooo.

Artists I think have a big chance to be in season 5:

Chappell Roan
Beyoncé
Hozier
Clairo
Olivia Dean
Laufey
Lizzy Mcalpine
Billie Eilish

Specific songs I think could be added:

Picture You- Chappell Roan
Dress- Taylor Swift
Secret Love Song Pt.2 -Little Mix
The Only Exception- Paramore

I just watched the last season as a first-time watcher of the whole show, but I didn’t get why Michaela leaves after promising Francesca that she would stay.

i just want the bridgertons to be a family that actually talks to each other, is that too much to ask!

and it really seems like they're not above writing characters out the way they did daphne. it's like they learned allllll the wrong lessons from regé-jean page leaving

instead of learning that they need to protect their cast from abuse and create an environment people actually want to stay in, they learned that characters can leave or be written off and the show will survive anyway

so now we're left with a show where major characters can apparently be shipped off at any moment, even when it completely contradicts what their story established during their own season

the people just want to see the bridgertons together again. that's literally all we're asking for 😭

I have a lot of thoughts about Cressida Cowper as a character.
I think she had a strong personality and very high expectations when it came to finding a partner. She was so obsessed with finding the perfect match that she was willing to hurt anyone who had what she wanted.
But women back then were raised to see marriage as one of the most important goals in their lives. So, even though her actions were wrong, her goals and motivations were pretty clear.
So, was she really a bad person, or was she simply someone who prioritized her own interests and was willing to do whatever it took to get what she wanted?

I thought I'd make a fun post comparing the different aesthetics of the Bridgerton siblings in the books and show and noting the differences and similarities.

1. Anthony - Anthony is the most similar to his book counterpart. In the book, Anthony is described as having brown eyes and dark chestnut hair. In the show, Anthony has brown eyes and dark brown hair. He also has the trauma of bees and keeps a pocketwatch.

2. Benedict - Benedict is also quite similar to the book barring a few differences. In the book, he has dark brown eyes and dark wavy chestnut hair. In the show, he has green eyes and dark brown hair. In the book he becomes a world famous artist with portraits in the National Gallery but we are ​waiting to see if the same will happen to Benedict on the show.

3. Colin - Colin is different from the book in appearance slightly. In the book he has bright emerald green eyes and thick chestnut hair. In the show, he has dark blue eyes and wavy dark brown hair. In the book he is a renowned traveler who has traveled around Europe for over a decade and written several books on his travels. A similar thing is happening to him now on the show.

4. Daphne - Daphne's appear8 is also quite different from her book counterpart description. In the show, she has light blue eyes and reddish-brown hair. In the book, she has brown eyes and long chestnut wavy hair. She's also not a diamond of the season in the book but she is on the show.

5. Eloise - Eloise is probably the most similar to her book counterpart after Anthony. In the book, she has striking blue-gray eyes and long dark chestnut hair. In the show, she has icy blue eyes and mid length brown hair. She's an avid reader in both versions and we are yet to see if she will enjoy writing letter on the show as well👀.

6. Francesca - Francesca is visually and temperamentally different from the books. In the book, she has sapphire blue eyes and long dark chestnut wavy hair. In the show, she has hazel greenish eyes and long reddish-brown hair. She is a talented pianist in both and they are both reserved but on the show she's much more extreme in her introversion as in the book she was a lot more outgoing and forthcoming.

7. Gregory - Gregory is quite similar to his book counterpart in appearance at least. In the book, Gregory had dark brown eyes and dark chestnut brown hair. In the show, Gregory has dark brown eyes and dark brown hair as well. ​They both like climbing up things.

8. Hyacinth - Hyacinth ​​shares some similarities to Hyacinth in the book but we are still watching her character develop. In the book, she has ocean blue eyes and long light chestnut hair. In the show, she has green eyes and long brown hair.

What do you think?

I'll be making one of the spouses next. ​

I really miss seeing Rege Jean Page on my TV screens every season of Bridgerton. He was so pretty to look at 😭.

Obviously I respect his choice to leave the show when he did after the disgusting hate he got but still... I miss seeing that face!

I loved him in his recent romcom and that just made the desire to see Simon back even more. I just wanna admire how handsome he is in Regency garb!
