Pendale - PenDale

🛠 Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

I'm working on a Theloise Hunger Games AU (title: Born To Die) and the reaping scene (where tributes for the upcoming Games are chosen, in case you're not familiar) is kicking my ass right now lol. It's a very intense scene in both the movie and the book so I want to do it justice but it also makes me want to pull my hair out and scream into a pillow. 🤡

Anyway, here's a snippet!:

“Penelope Featherington!”

The name rang through the air, a death sentence.

It was her first day of school, and Eloise Bridgerton, four years old and stubborn as a rock, marched up to a short, redheaded girl with her nose in a book.

“I’m Eloise Bridgerton,” she announced, sticking her hand out for the other girl to shake. “And you are?”

“Penelope Featherington,” she replied, sounding surprised as she shook Eloise’s hand.

“We,” Eloise sat down next to Penelope, “are going to be the best of friends.”

i’m so sick of people saying that if theloise will happen eloise will be estranged from the ton because it is simply not true imo!! we all know how eloise feels about that society but still, she wouldn’t want to be left out. fortunately that is not the case. some people use this argument to explain why eloise and theo won’t be together but my point still stands: money, social status and society rules won’t be the reasons why they won’t end up together. those are just lame excuses. well, they may be if, for example, theo decides to let her go because he doesn’t feel worthy of her or something like that, but for me this is the only case. but the thing is: they could end up together.

let’s talk about the bridgerton family. we all know how much they value love, especially violet. she made this clear in the books (where she also talked about class!!),

and she made it clear in the tv show, both in s1 and s2

obviously, the head of the household is anthony. we saw, at the beginning of s2, that he’d decided to put duty above everything else but eventually he let it go and decided to choose love. and i’m sure he’ll want the same for his siblings. of course, this is a tv show, there will be conflicts, but he wants his siblings to experience his same happiness. also, mary sharma’s backstory in the show. kate’s dad. c’mon it would be VERY hypocritical to disapprove.

the queen. if she approves of something, the rest of the ton approves as well. we all remember the wrecking ball dance and how she literally meddled in the discussion, and lied lol, to avoid rumors because she saw the love between anthony and kate. of course everyone knew, even the queen, that that was, in fact, the reason why the wedding wasn’t celebrated, but in that moment it didn’t matter. she forgot about the failed wedding and watched the couple on the dance floor.

like violet, even the queen seems to love love. calam agrees with me. he said:

so i believe that if theo and eloise decide to be together and decide to do it properly, the queen would approve. i say “properly” because we all saw how the queen reacted when she saw lady mary. haters use that scene to prove their point but i want to use that scene to prove MY point. queen charlotte said:

she was mad. lady mary eloped (correct me if i’m wrong). but she did what she had to dobbecause she didn’t have the support of her family. but eloise does and the bridgertons would help her with the queen. they will help her explain the situation to her majesty. and again, the queen loves love. she was mad at simon and daph too when the engagement was announced but, let’s be honest, she loved simon’s speech. she loves to see two people in love.

so, in conclusion, social status is not what will get in the way of their relationship. i don’t know what they will come up with to break them up and i hope the writers will choose the right path.

i could talk about how they’re perfect for each other and use eloise, claudia and calam’s words to explain my point and the whole marina’s situation, but that’s another story. if they have to go separate ways, i just hope they will part as friends. i don’t want them to ruin his character so that people will root for phillip.

thanks for coming to my tedtalk🫶🏻

I so desperately want to know if either of these deleted scenes are related to Theo. The second one definitely seems like Bloomsbury.
