Loml - Taylor Swift

born to be a rom-com couple, forced to be a non endgame teen drama couple

jane austen was right!!!!! i AM half agony half hope!!!!! if i loved you less i COULD talk about it more!!!!!!!! i WAS in the middle before i knew i had begun!!!!!!!

My brain is just my superiority complex and my inferiority complex battling for dominance. And the latter is winning.

If I were to describe Bridgerton in one picture

It would be this one

Guilty as Sin?

Is it a song about masturbation? Yeah, that's how I interpreted it lol. But, taking some of the lines out of context, I think they really fit Eloise and Theo's relationship. Theloise is a forbidden relationship that never became "official" or reached that physical stage, which somewhat fits the song.

The following are just a few examples:

The almost-kiss, Eloise visiting Theo in Bloomsbury.

I keep recalling things we never did Messy top lip kiss How I long for our trysts

Eloise facing ruin despite never being physical with Theo.

Without ever touching his skin How can I be guilty as sin?

Please send me your favorite theloise songs, I need inspiration to edit <3

The "we'll suit" scene exemplifies this: in order to prove to Eloise that they are compatible, Phillip shows her that they are sexually compatible. He's conflating sexual chemistry with love, which is frustrating to read in a (supposed) romance story. I'm all for conflicts in stories, but they need to be resolved in a satisfying manner.

Re-Reading TSPWL

Thinking I might give it another go, maybe find the slightest hint of something worthwhile about it that could be used for Eloise's season.

Me throughout the re-read

"I hate Sir Phillip, I hate Sir Phillip, I hate Sir Phillip"

Guy starts off bad and then gets worse. Eloise slowly loses her soul and her spirit trying to accommodate him. Sir Phillip has to be one of the most selfish, lazy, loathsome characters I have ever read, and he doesn't get better, he doesn't improve, he doesn't actually do anything to be worthy of Eloise's love, he just gets coddled.

he delights that he's got a sex doll who takes care of his house and kids for hmi and he thinks that's love. He tells Eloise she isn't allowed to be unhappy in their marriage, despite the fact he ignores her all through the day except for when he wants sex, because he had it worse.

This is the conclusion by the way. This is them having their happily ever after. This is how the conflict is resolved. Phillip ordering Eloise to be happy, and Eloise feeling so guilty she agrees.

Kill Sir Phillip. Kill him with fire.

I swear to God if they keep Eloise with him in the show and he is anything like his book character, I'm throwing a shoe at my TV.
