I'm Not Asking For A Lot Of Money, I Just Need A Little To Buy Bread And Some Vegetables For My Kids

Book!Edwina / Show!Edwina

I’ve noticed that people like to point out how they prefer Book!Edwina over show!Edwina, because apparently they’re super different, which is absurdly funny given that they’re almost the same personality wise. 

The similarities:

BOOK!EDWINA: Her sister was still young and impressionable. What if she couldn’t resist one of his smiles? Or his glib tongue? Even Kate was willing to admit that Lord Bridgerton exuded considerable charm, and she didn’t even like the man! Edwina, with her less suspicious nature, would surely be overwhelmed.

SHOW!EDWINA: Kate: All you are doing, my lord, is toying with the emotions of an impressionable young lady.

~

BOOK!EDWINA: “I know.” Edwina let out a little sigh. “But the truth is—and you know this even if I am not supposed to let on in public—I’m really rather bookish.”

SHOW!EDWINA: I myself am fortunate to have found a love of literature, but also of learning as well. (…) You are much too busy to read, and I am very much in need of someone to tell about my stories.

~

BOOK!EDWINA: “Oh, he does. I know that we shall not have much in the way of money, but truly, I don’t need silks and jewels.” Her eyes fell on the glittering diamond on Kate’s hand. “Not that I think you do, of course!” she quickly interjected, her face growing red. “Just that—”“Just that it’s nice not to have to worry about supporting your sister and mother,” Kate finished for her in a gentle voice.

SHOW!EDWINA: Once I am married to the viscount, there will be ample funds to provide for all of us. He is as generous as he is wealthy. I am sure the viscount will provide for you and Mama too.

~

BOOK!EDWINA: “I know I’m expected to make a grand and brilliant match, but I don’t have to marry someone who will ill treat me.”

SHOW!EDWINA: It seems Miss Edwina desires a love match, / I still wish that when he looks at me, I could be certain that he truly loves me.”

~

BOOK!EDWINA: “You might find someone to marry as well,” Edwina pointed out. (…) “Perhaps one of your lovesick suitors will turn to me once he realizes you are unattainable,” she (Kate) teased. Edwina swatted her with a pillow. “Don’t be silly.”

SHOW!EDWINA: Kate: We have come to London to find your husband, not mine. Edwina: Yes. You are but a dear old maid.

The differences:

Book!Edwina says that she’d like to marry a scholar and show!Edwina doesn’t specify much besides the “charming, handsome, prince” thing. 

Book!Edwina never shows interest in Anthony, therefore she never gets in the way of Kathony. Book!Edwina not having feelings for Anthony (unlike show!Edwina “K: You love him? E: Watching how nobly he defended us at dinner tonight, how could I not?”) means that she is more aware about what is going on or not around her– Kate and Anthony liking each other.

So, if you haven’t read the book and wonder how is like this marvelous book!Edwina everyone praises, know that she is the exact same to show!Edwina only without the liking Anthony part!

Nobody lies to her, she doesn’t have an almost wedding with Anthony and she is not humiliated in front of London high-society, therefore she never argues with Kate and instead takes only 0.2 seconds to accept Kate and Anthony’s engagement (because she never liked the guy in the first place!!!!).

I love Edwina to pieces, of course I would have preferred if the writers went with the plot of the book instead of go and break Edwina’s heart. But we are talking about the plot there, not her personality. She is the exact same to book!Edwina. 

Yo I saw ur zombie yn with jinx fic and IT.IS.SO.GOOD.

LIKE WOAH

Thanks!

I definitely wanted to expand more on the zombie au but also wanted to get it out in time for Halloween so I just felt it was very rushed. I'm so happy that you and a lot others seem to really like it, like it warms my heart.

being a multishipper is honestly so fun. im done with all jercy fics from 2016 onward? oh, sure, i'll just switch to reading some jasico, i miss them. or maybe some valdangelo, thats cute, their dynamic would be fun to explore. but oh, valgrace is so good since im rereading TLH... and some percabeth here and there obviously! but perleo is kinda sweet. wait, valzhang..

demitri: I just try to appreciate the little things in life

reader: *hugs jane*

jane: fuck you i'm not that short

demitri: yes the fuck you are

Exactly! Alicent made aemonds wound about herself! Everyone on here thinks she was just being a caring mother but I really don't. Sure he's her favorite but I don't think she cared abt him that much, just came across as more of a reason to get at rhae and by extension, her children.

I honestly have to laugh about all those try-hard Aemond stans pretending to be neutral and flooding the Daemon/Rhaenyra tag with ridiculous fics where Rhaenyra, some daughters of hers and everyone else cares more about the little freak losing an eye than the fact that he nearly murdered Jacaerys with a rock.

“Oh, noooees, poor little psycho who hates me! I am totally gonna care more about him than my own son!”

Yeah, sure.

Not even Alicent cares that much about her son in the show, imao. She makes his injury about herself and about what Rhaenyra has 'gotten away' while she 'suffers'.

The way they try to make the little Riverlands terrorist into the ultimate tragic figure of the Dance just makes him even more unlikable.

Stop giving me team green propaganda! Istg
