Mr. Darcy Really Had Some Nerve Accusing Jane Bennett Of Not Adequately Expressing Her Love For Bingley

Whatever makes you say that, dear anon?

I’d say that right now Mo is confused and unsure about what’s he’s feeling, but he’s definitely beginning to become conscious of it and it scares him a bit, that’s why he’s so prone to yell that HT pisses him off.

For once, let me say that for Mo it’s practically impossible to quickly develop attraction and feelings for another person. Mo has been bullied since a very tender age and his natural response was to clam up inside of himself. It’s very human and very relatable, and quite typical for the victims of bullying. He has been ostracized. He has been used by people like She Li. Life has let him down and he’s grown weary and distrustful of those around him. More importantly, he learned how to cope by himself and not rely on (or need) anyone else. 

To Mo, He Tian is one of those people, who are responsible for the shit happening to the underprivileged like himself. He believes that wealth leads to people abusing it in all the wrong ways. And, let’s be honest, He Tian’s behaviour, in the beginning, did fit this mould. We as readers know that He Tian genuinely wants to help him, but Mo doesn’t. For him, He Tian is just a popular spoiled brat, who bothers him just for the kicks, and Mo has no reason to believe that somebody like that would take a genuine interest in himself. That there’s kindness behind his actions - remember, Mo used to say that HT is fake? The reason for Momo’s disbelief is that he grew up with such a world view, and it’s not easy to shake it off. It’s not easy to overcome trust issues.

Luckily over time that belief started to waver. He Tian was probably the only person in his life who bothered to help him without asking anything in return. Who cared for him (even in a roundabout way). He Tian was ready to do some martyr-like shit for Mo. It didn’t go unnoticed, even if Mo may not fully realize why HT would go so far for a street kid.

If Momo hadn’t liked He Tian, he wouldn’t be constantly blushing at the slightest physical contact. It may be just a physical thing, but it’s definitely there. If Momo didn’t care about HT, he wouldn’t have rushed to his apartment, when HT sent him “bloodied” hand. When He Tian disappeared after sending him to the hospital, Momo wanted to know his whereabouts. Momo wouldn’t have been checking his phone all the time. If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t have held his hand, when HT was having a nightmare.

And lastly, let’s look at one of Mo’s dreams. He’s dreaming that he’s being bullied by a mob again until He Tian appears and saves him. Lots of people pay attention to the butt grab, but the truly important thing here is the fact that Momo actually cries in HT’s shoulder. I think that says more than anything that he actually sees He Tian as a source of his comfort. Would he see somebody he didn’t like this way? I think not.

Anyway, I don’t think Momo can rationalize his feelings right now. He definitely doesn’t dislike HT and he’s definitely getting physical reactions. He’s also quite a bit of tsundere and would deny it to the very end, and it would take plenty of time for him to come to terms with what’s he’s feeling.

Whoa, that’s a wall o’text again, srry.

honestly besides the romance my favorite part of pride and prejudice has to be how much of a complete Disaster the bennet family is,,,,,,,like mr bennet is sarcastic af and never tells his family anything until like the hour before it happens (“btw ur cousin that you’ve never even met before and who could throw ur asses out on the streets one day is coming for dinner at 4”),,,,,mrs bennet is the total Can I Speak To The Manager mom who always threatens to pass out even if she’s never passed out once in her entire life,,,,lydia practically stalks military men and was once voted most likely to run away from home forever for a laugh,,,,,kitty would probably burn the house down if lydia told her it was a good idea,,,,,mary is the epitome of that one person who memorizes only six lines from a textbook and says “knowledge is power” for three days after,,,,,,,,jane would practically apologize to someone who was stabbing her,,,,and im almost 1000% sure that elizabeth has at least once stood up on the dining room table and yelled at her family “fight me then” when she’s angry,,,,,,literally the original sitcom family

You can never not repost this…

A saga.

low quality doodles from twitter!

the interesting thing i noticed about Mizu before being betrayed by her husband and mother is that she was a lot softer back then. Like in episode one she's demanding and ready to cut a bitch for information, but back then she was more cordial, asking politely for information from the first few guys she run into who stab her and throw her out. She even puts her sword away after defending herself to show she didn't want trouble.

And onto her time living as a woman she was willing to give up her own path for her mother's security. She really did try to be a good wife too. When she spooked the horse by mistake she looks upset that she'd kinda messed up that chance to get closer to her husband (since he got mad at her like a dick sdfhjsfh), so she tries to make up for it by trying to cook. That doesn't work so she makes up for that by going back out and helping him with the horses a little more and finally striking up a conversation about the horses. And of course we had the moment where Mikio called her a monster, she tried to make up for that by dolling herself up in an attempt to be a pleasing wife again.

She really did try, like a lot, to fit in and be kind and keep people's love. Her going cold after al that makes sense. Like in a way she feels like she's done everything she could to keep people but to no avail so she might as well go down her own path of revenge with no place for love, or friendship or weakness.

i’ve seen so many negative reviews of Bridgerton concerning it’s ‘forced diversity’. Which is what one would take away from it if you only watched the first 10 minutesIf you stopped to watch the whole thing, you’d see it’s anything but forced. 

Consider our historical context here:

Around the time the story takes place, the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade would’ve been nearing it’s end, with debates over slavery in England reaching their peak. Not to mention, that by this time, India had been colonized.

Many black and brown people began to make their way into English society, and not only the lower factions. While the vast majority of us lived in poverty and cruel conditions, there were some of us who managed to make it out on top. There is documented evidence of our existence in Regency Society. We were simply hidden from the gaze of the world for so long because for so long we have allowed the oppressor to write all of our history. 

Not only that, but Queen Charlotte has long been rumored  to have been biracial, coming from the Black Branch of the Portuguese Royal Family. Therefore, having a black Queen Charlotte might’ve been more historically accurate than having a paper white one

Therefore, on all counts, the diversity in Bridgerton cannot be considered forced, but rather, long over due. We have always, and always will be, part of your history, whether the delicate sensibilities of white conservatives can handle it or not. And every time a black/brown creative makes it to a place of power, a place like Bridgerton created, we come a little bit further out of the wings and into the limelight. This very sentiment is reflected in arguably one of the most poignant scenes in Bridgerton: (minor spoilers)

When Duke Simon and Lady Danbury are discussing love, Lady Danbury comments on just how they got to their position. She tells Simon that thanks to the love between one of their own, Queen Charlotte, and the King, they were given an opportunity to rise.

(side note: while this is very important historically and plot-wise, it was also very refreshing to witness. very often in stories of romance and drama, the struggles of poc are sidelined in favor of a more frivolous tone. Bridgerton addresses it head on, in a realistic way) But, by having a person who looked, spoke, and lived like them in a place of power, they were able to come that much closer to living a fully realized life as peers of their white counterparts. Bridgerton manages to not only deliver a sharp commentary on the state of historical revisionism and the state of inclusion in society, but also describe their own experience. Bridgerton’s diversity is far from forced, it is historically accurate, it is relevant (both in our world and theirs), and it adds a level of nuance and depth to their world, that I had not expected from it. It immerses you in it’s world further, and it gives me and other black and brown folks like me a world in which I can finally see myself reflected in the way that our ancestors paved the way for. It is exactly what historical representation should be.

In conclusion: WATCH BRIDGERTON IT IS SO FUCKING GOOD
