Father Charlie Breed Me Challenge

there's something about his soulless eyes that captivate me.

need,

I think they certainly did make more aspects of the regency era more dramatic in bridgerton and I'm certainly no expert of this era but I think back in the regency era a man and a women 'sneaking away' (It'd probably look that way to most) to a dark corner in a garden or a room during a ball that they attended chaperoned would probably have been improper back in the actually regency era.

I think they difference is that Mr. Darcy actually called on Elizabeth and there was always the servants in/outside the room to kinda keep watch and they didn't just sneak away multiple times during a ball which was held at night to some room nobody else was in or going to enter. And they couple times they met in the gardens in the book wouldn't have been improper I don't think because it was during the day and they would have been in view of the house the whole time.

But again I'm not a pro at this so I could be completely wrong.

Perhaps this question has been posed before, but it’s been on my mind since the TV adaptation of bridgerton came out: one of the central conflicts of that show centers around the idea that gentry women can’t be around men unchaperoned. The show/source material are partially inspired by Jane Austen and regency aesthetics, but when i think about Pride and Prejudice there are many pivotal scenes where Elizabeth is alone with men and it’s not treated as scandalous. From my reading, the scandal usually stems from actual implications of seduction, ie; the way wickham absconds with much younger girls.

This isn’t to say the period didn’t have strict social rules, but the social rules in bridgerton have always seemed more Victorian/Edwardian to me than regency. I don’t know if those vibes are accurate or just my assumptions. When Elizabeth is alone with Darcy at the Collins’ or at the inn in Lambton, as far as I can remember there’s no real comment on the propriety of the situation. I don’t know if this is an actual reflection of what was appropriate during the time or if Austen is bending the rules for her narrative.

Not to harp on a hackneyed point here, but the Twilight saga would’ve benefited from more biting and blood. Hardly anyone gets bitten or bleeds, considering it’s a vampire story

“But it’s a love story first and a vampire story second”, you cry. To this I say: more love stories should have blood and biting. Checkmate

I had to make it normal, right? What my dad was doing to me, I had to make that normal. Even though I knew that it fucking wasn't.

straight men are on something else

Erik Menendez: Even to this day. I don't believe I could get away from my dad.

The idea of running away was absolutely impossible, and I told Lyle that there's no chance. And I think that that's in part, when I look back on my life because my dad programmed that into my head. Even to this day. I don't believe I could get away from my dad. He would have tracked me down. He would have killed me.
