Henry: When you manage to find this paragon of virtue, whatever makes you think she will accept your suit? Are the young ladies of London truly so easily won by a pleasing smile and absolutely nothing more?

Alex: So, you find my smile pleasing.

Imagine Colin becoming possessive of Penelope once she has other suitors this season and he can’t stand to not have her so in a whim of passion he refers to her as his goddess or siren, and then we get imagery and scenes alluding to her as such…

#idk I’m just rambling but if we don’t get ONE reference to his obsession with goddesses or sirens I’ll be a bit disappointed #penelope x colin #bridgerton s3 #romancing mister bridgerton #bridgerton #bridgerton season 3 #colin bridgerton #polin #colin x penelope

[lemonhemlock]

tried watching the new queen charlotte series but was immediately put off by the ridiculous anti-corset propaganda, so get ready for another rant.

first of all, this is the georgian era so what she's wearing are called /stays/ - corsets are a victorian invention. why do we still not know this in 2023 when period productions have remained consistently popular throughout the years? the concept of tighlacing (the goal being a reduction of the waist) is also victorian and was not the norm at all and v much an extreme practice. this understanding of history is so superficial, it's as if an alien were to open up People magazine and conclude that all human women resort to butt injections and lip fillers to stay with the fashion of the times. also, no, you cannot tighlace in stays to obtain a waist reduction because they are shaped like a funnel (picture 1 = long stays, 2 = short regency stays, 3 = corset)

charlotte goes on to complain about how dangerous whalebone is and that it might kill her if she makes the wrong move. what the actual fuck? whalebone was actually the very best material to use for this because it was sturdy yet flexible and allowed the /stays/ to completely and comfortably mold around a woman's unique body shape. one of the reasons why today it is v difficult to replicate the same effect in corsetry is because we do not have access to whalebone (killing whales is not cool for obvious reasons) so corset-makers have to resort to other materials like plastic or metal, which CAN break. whereas whalebone doesn't really break as easily. furthermore, stays/corsets were NEVER worn on bare skin, but with a chemise/shift underneath.

why did women in the past resort to this type of undergarment, you ask? well, apart from the fact that women need bust support, the stays also serve the purpose of allowing all the many skirts and petticoats to be placed comfortably onto the waist. you try piling on that much fabric around your bare waist and see how you like it and if you can even carry it all around without it cutting into your stomach.

clothes throughout human history did cater to the popular fashions of the time, yes, but they also reflected the technological limitations and there was thus a practical aspect to it. this is a time before elastic bands, before industrialization and fast fashion, clothes are v difficult to make, everything is done by hand, so a lot of care is put into preserving them, because they are /expensive/ and labour intensive. you don't want your fancy outergarments to get ruined so you wear a lot of undergarments to absorb your bodily fluids since those are easier to make and don't have to look "pretty", can be stained and patchy etc. again, why do you need so many layers in the first place? because this is a time before comfortable heating, with poorly isolated and drafty houses, and it's bloody cold otherwise.

the third reason why that monologue was so dumb is because CHARLOTTE is the reason regency court dress was so preposterous. long story short, in a few decades, the fashionable silhouette changes wildly from the late 1700s to the 1810s.

the regency waistline was much higher and the gowns were much more flowy and unstructured than the late georgian ones (what's commonly known as the empire waistline). the long stays of the late 1700s were now replaced with short stays that really were similar to modern bras. the scene in the first season of bridgerton where they squeeze penelope's sister into what looks like a pair of long stays (?) is bonkers bc no one would wear a waist-constricting boned undergarment under a regency dress. why would they? the natural waist is not even emphasized in any way. this is just another reason to peddle the women-were-oppressed-by-their-lingerie agenda. so if charlotte really hated long stays that much, regency would really have been her time to shine, right? wrong. the woman loved the fashions of her youth so much she forced everyone who came to court to still comply to them, which is why we get the absolutely atrocious regency court dresses - essentially a combination of the georgian style with side panniers, but with an empire waistline.

yeah, this is how daphne SHOULD have looked like when she was presented at court in front of charlotte. i can understand why the showrunners decided to just leave her in a regency silhouette because this is ugly af. but, anyway, queen charlotte is the last person on earth to be complaining about how uncomfortable stays are.

creative licence aside, the reason this pisses me off is because it is SUCH lazy storytelling. the show wants us to know charlotte is a spunky pseudo-feminist character so the easiest way to do that is to have her complain about the evil 'corset' trying to kill her. it is so profoundly ahistorical and does nothing to contribute to the conversation about women's true problems and true limitations during that time. instead of genuinely exploring social history and women's actual lived experiences, we are STILL, in the year of our lord 2023, diverting the discourse towards fabricated issues that never existed in the first place.

the reasons actresses complain about boned underwear in interviews are manifold. costume designers are very overworked, they have to produce clothes for hundreds of people in a very short time, so they simply do not have the time or resources to construct corsets/stays that fit the actresses like they are supposed to. in the past, these garments were made individually for every person and completely to their own requirements. they also make these actresses wear the boning on BARE skin to look extra sexy to the audience or to emphasize their oppression - that never happened, a shift was always worn underneath (hello dakota fanning scene in the alienist??).

moreover, they lace them up until they constrict their ribcages - these women are already super thin and their bodies cannot support more reduction - instead of relying on the historical practices of padding and illusion. nowadays, body parts are what's fashionable - that's why so many resort to fat transfers or breast implants or starving themselves to achieve a flat stomach. in the past, anyone of any size could have accomplished the fashionable silhouette because they had a wide array of accouterments to plop underneath their garments - panniers, bustles, hoop skirts, padding of any sort. it didn't matter how big your waist was, you just padded other areas until you achieved the desired shape. fat women wore corsets/stays, too. working women, who did a lot of physical labour, did the same. how were they able to perform all of their tasks if they were incapable of moving or breathing? even today, people wear medical corsets all the time.

TLDR the media's obsession with portraying modern women as so liberated because they wear bras instead of "patriarchal" underwear is so tedious.

EDIT: Some very basic chronological tadpoles to make this easier to place within historical context. "Georgian" is used to denote the 18th+ century when Great Britain was ruled by several kings named George, so roughly 1714-1830. Within this interval, we refer to the Regency period as encompassing the regency of Prince George, future King George IV, when his father George III was incapacitated by mental illness. The official political regency took place during 1811-1820, but culturally speaking, this was extended to roughly the end of the 18th century up to maybe 1830 or 1837. This is the time period of Napoleonic wars and Jane Austen novels, so all her heroines should normally wear Regency styles. Think "empire waistline" as in Imperial France and Napoleon. The Victorian era (and its corsets) follows throughout the rest of the 19th century. Queen Charlotte was a contemporary of Marie Antoinette's, so they should be dressed in similar fashions (robe à la française vs robe à la anglais).

#but what can i expect from a production by shonda rhimes 🤷‍♀️ she certainly has a marvel-heroine type understanding of feminism #queen charlotte: a bridgerton story #bridgerton #fashion history #anyway this post is relevant for my blog bc i generally watch a lot of period media so this issue inevitably pops up now and again #would also like to add that while the term 'corset' did exist in that era #it referred to a v wide array of chest undergarments #so as to become impractical to use for a relatively short explanation #corsets as we conceptualize them today are tied with the victorian period #also pls remember i am simplifying for the sake of brevity else this post would have been enourmous

When it comes to Penelope I feel like a lot of her fans take any valid criticism towards her and turn it into hate, which does her character a disservice. While some people do hate on her, a lot of it holds valid reasons. Admitting that she has hurt many people isn't wrong because she has, it's been shown on throughout the show and the impacts it can have. From labeling Daphne as "unmarriageable" during her first season and events that followed, her labeling Eloise as being part of a group of rebels, the terms she used to describe Kate [and Simon]-- which carried racial undertones no matter how you try to spin it, who didn't even know personally at that point, what she did Marina. All of these were very harmful and to say that none of these characters should feel angry, that they should just forgive Penelope without any work put into it is very laughable (especially because she's still writing as Whistledown and put many, namely women, at risk during a time where reputation is everything--something in which Penelope herself faces). With this being said, criticizing her actions, at least for me, doesn't come from a complete place of hate but more so from believing that she can be better if she puts in the work. By ignoring all that she's done and having her get her happily ever after so easily in the end, to be honest, would ultimately feel lackluster. I feel like she still has room to grow, but it will take a lot of work and, I personally, think seeing her renavigate who she is with who she wants to be outside of Lady Whistledown would be very interesting.

#bridgerton #penelope featherington #idk if this counts as anti but I'll label it as such too #anti penelope featherington #bc some people don't see it her referring to kate as a “beast” was wrong as hell and definitely side eye worthy coming from this yte woman #like she didn't even know kate and wrote that about her #and her ableist comments towards george were absolutely unnecessary as well #so deny that none of these things holds impact would be highly untrue and make the story very flat #i do think pen provides valuable insight to a different perspective of the ton and was helpful in eloise seeing a different view #so that's one [of very few] reasons that i think she should have a chance of redeeming herself #but that also doesn't mean that any of these characters should forgive her either #penelope stans and/or polin stans do not interact if you can't be respectful! #(also bc some people like to say “but the bridgertons are privileged and got their happy endings” #one just bc they got their happy endings in the end doesn't mean that what pen wrote didn't put them in difficult situations or that she #should be thanked as if she helped them [with daphne that was mainly her and her own mother's doing] #[for eloise that different bc it puts her and her family under political scrutiny as well bc do you honestly think being labeled as associat #-ing with rebels would be a good thing?]

One complaint I have with Queen Charlotte is we never got to see when George started calling her ‘Lottie’.

#old george only refers to her as Lottie 🥺 #i was hoping to see the origin of that! #also i completely forgot about George showing up in the middle of edwina and anthony’s would be wedding #bc he was excited by the fireworks and thought all of the revelry was for his wedding with charlotte #and charlotte looks visibly afraid (probably bc his behavior is unpredictable) #and george looks SO WOUNDED by it #he’s still so in love with Charlotte…he even calls her radiant when she rises to speak to him #like i can’t #after watching Queen Charlotte seeing them is so much more painful than it already was #and after edwina manages to calm him #charlotte goes to sit at his side while he sleeps #i am imploding #qcabs spoilers #qcabs #queen charlotte #king george bridgerton #king george iii #george x charlotte #charlotte x george

Countertop Whispers Part 2

A/N: I’m so happy that y’all liked my first part and first fic ever. I am so passionate about writing so this is such a wonderful way of applying my degree and my tendency of maladaptive daydreaming. All because of a mf named Tangerine.

Warnings: NSFW, daddy kink because yes, oral sex w/afab!reader, mentions of anxiety, just tons and tons of smut bro idk what else to say

Pairing: Tangerine x fem!reader

“Whats wrong, gorgeous? Cat caught your tongue?” Tangerine growls into your ear as the wetness in your leggings grows. Your body wants you to wipe away all the supplies off the counter and pounce on him right then and there but something within you is stopping the fire from spreading because you know exactly what he wants.

You and Tangerine have been married for 2 years and, throughout your marriage, he has expressed how much he loves going down on you but you’re always pretty shy at the whole ordeal. He respects your limits completely so sometimes you enjoy to let loose of your anxieties and try to have fun with it. It’s very rare though, it’s only been a couple times that you have let him and yourself experience that level of closeness. You give him head, no problem, but for some reason you can’t seem to beat the anxiety of him doing the same for you. Today, he has you at the palm of his hand and you feel like you can’t help but melt into him despite your rising anxiety.

He can feel your heart beating faster and faster,“C’mere, love.” He grips your waist as he spins you around. He can see in your eyes how badly you want him but can always sense the nerves. He slightly tips your chin up with his two fingers and kisses your lips sweetly. He knows he has got to treat his girl with the gentleness she deserves to make her comfortable.

As your lips move in sync, he is shifting the supplies behind you that are blocking the space on the counter. He pulls away softly and grabs your waist to pull you up onto the cold marble. He reattaches your lips and starts rubbing your inner thighs up and down over the thin fabric. You wrap your arms around his neck while running your fingers through his dark curls. You can’t get enough of how sexy it looks pushed back.

His hands are traveling toward your waistband while he moves his lips to your blushing cheek. He then makes his way slowly to your ear as he whispers, “I want to taste you so bad, love. Are you alright with that?” His mustache tickling your ears. “I-… Yes but-…Please go slow for me” you say softly as his lips slam a huge sloppy kiss onto your cheek in gratitude as you lay back and lift your hips for him to slide everything off your lower half.

As he pulls off the last bit of your leggings with ease, he grabs your lifted legs and starts placing wet, hot kisses along them. His lips are getting higher and higher causing you to moan at the anticipation. As he got to your pelvic bone, he looks up at you, admiring how absolutely erotic you look all laid out for him in that sexy tight apron of yours. He makes sure your legs are secured on his shoulders before he interlocks his hands with yours. Your heart fluttering at his gaze.

“You are an absolute vision, darling. You comfortable?” He says as he kisses the inside of your thighs. You smile knowing you have found someone so reassuring especially when you really need it. “Yes, daddy,” you respond and he smirks and winks at you before taking his tongue into the place you need him most. He starts off with slow, long licks and kisses along your slit. His mustache begins stimulating your clit in such a way that has you arching your back.

“Daddy!” You gasp gripping his hands tightly. “Oh, Daddy, No Daddy, or More Daddy?” he mumbles between the delicious wet licks. “More! Please, don’t stop!” you moan as your hips begin to grind into his face. He groans at your submission and decides to let go of one of your hands. He brings his two middle fingers into your dripping entrance and inserts it with ease. He starts curling them up to hit your g-spot, combining it with his mouth on your aching clit.

“Yes! Yessss!” you scream at the pleasure, shocked at the build up of your orgasm coming in closer than you thought. “Feels so good, daddy, don’t stop!” Your one empty hand, that was once holding his, moved to his hair, gripping his curls. He LOVES it when you pull at them, so it causes him to groan, sending more vibrations to your already shaking cunt.

His tongue moves faster into the exact spot you needed him, while his fingers are steadily pounding you in a rhythm that is pushing you closer and closer. Your legs are spreading wider and wider to the point where it is allowing him to dive deeper into your pussy, making your mouth open wide and brows furrow tightly at the intense sensation.

“I’m so close! Oh fuck, oh fuck! I’m gonna cum, daddy! I’m gonna cum!!” Your moans get louder and louder. “That’s it. That’s a good girl, cum for me.” he murmurs while keeping his perfect rhythm.

With that, your orgasm washes all over him, his fingers, and the counter. He keeps riding out your high, making you a screaming, shaking mess. He is loving every second of it, dragging it out as much as he can. Once your screams become heavy pants, he stops and ejects his fingers softly, pecking your pussy once more before bringing his digits to his tongue. He sucks them off swiftly with a pop before wiping his mustache with the back of his hand. “So fucking delicious, that pussy, baby. Got me wanting to lick your juices off that counta, that’s not proper, innit?”

You giggle shyly before bringing your eyes down to his huge bulge that is begging to be freed. You bite your lip then look up to his eyes. He smirks, “I’m not done with ya yet, darling. Not even fucking close.”

[amiharana]

thinking about super physically affectionate clingy yet quiet link and him leaning into revali when he's tired, or curling up in revali's lap with his face in revali's neck to take a nap, without a single word.

it startles revali a lot at first when link just at random just starts grabbing his hand only to intertwine their fingers, link tracing the feathers and then pulling revali's hand up to his face to press a kiss to the back of it, his eyes shut. or link pushing him down into the cushions only to seat himself within revali's folded lap, head against revali's chest as he fidgets and fiddles with revali's scarf. or link coming up from behind to wrap his arms around revali's midsection, pressing soft kisses down revali's spine.

"you hylians are so touchy," revali mumbles one night, when they're lying together in their shared hammock. link is wrapped around him, intertwining his legs with revali's, and he drags his pointer finger through revali's feathers, drawing shapes into his chest. link only hums at him in response, and shifts so that he's more comfortable against revali. his legs tighten around revali's, as though he plans to keep the rito shackled to him forever. revail only wraps a wing around him and brushes his beak through the top of link's hair.

"you're not pushing me away though," link says. link's voice is soft and drowsy, but revali can feel it humming under his skin.

"like i could if i tried," revali responds in similar volume. "you've wrapped yourself so closely to me, we'll merge into one being at this point." but link is right; if he truly didn't enjoy this, he'd have thrown link into lake totori now.

"wish we could," link murmurs. revali hums in question, prompting link to continue. "wanna be so close to you i'm practically under your skin."

"that won't be necessary. you already get under my skin plenty." link snorts and shifts against him again, revali shifting in response to accommodate link's new position. they're quiet again for a couple more moments before link speaks.

"do you really not like it?" his songbird whispers, hushed and timid. revali frowns. he doesn't like it when link doubts him, or this bond between them. he wraps his other wing around link and the little hylian snuggles deeper into him automatically, sighing quietly.

"i'd have figured you more astute than this," revali says. "this... manner of affection you favor is not something i'm accustomed to, but it doesn't mean it's unpleasant. it's... nice, to be honest."

"so it's okay? you're okay with this?" link murmurs.

"i'm more than fine with it," revali replies. "what made you think i wasn't?"

he feels link shift to hide his face in revali's chest. "dunno," link mumbles. "i always do it without saying anything. thought you were just putting up with me..."

revali's feathers prickle and rise, and his frown deepens. in a swift fluid movement, he grabs his mate by his hips and pulls him up. link yelps, grabbing onto revali's arms. "w-wait, revali, the hammock—"

"the hammock is strong enough to hold the both of us," revali says, and seats link atop him so that his mate is straddling his lap, and his hands settle on link's waist. "so don't doubt it, like you're doubting me right now." link flushes and his ears droop, just slightly. cute.

"i wasn't doubting you—" link starts, but revali cuts him off with a slight shake of his head.

"you were," revali asserts and his voice leaves no room for argument, because it's true. link stares down at him, guilty and insecure. revali hates it. "i can't control what goes on in that stubborn head of yours, but don't doubt me. don't doubt this, what we have. i chose you, all of you, what you are, what you do, what you offer. i'll gladly receive it all, because it's you."

link's breath catches. "revali..."

but revali shakes his head and pulls lightly on link's waist. "that's enough thinking for you tonight," he says. "come back to me and continue with your touchy inclinations. i'm rather fond of it now."

so link with that ever so familiar wide, blue-eyed gaze tentatively leans back down and wraps himself around revali's body again, as they were before, his face buried in the space between revali's neck and head and his breath beginning to even out. revali envelops his clingy songbird in his wings, nuzzling the side of link's face with his eyes shut, beginning to drift to sleep himself, but he needs to make himself clear before either of them drift too far.

"i love you," revali murmurs against link's skin. "goddesses know why you ever doubted it, but i do and i always will. if you wish to possess me, my body is yours to command as you please. if you wish to woo me, my heart has already been infatuated with you for far longer than you've realized you desired me too. my very soul and my entire being belong to you now, for as long as you will it to be."

link doesn't say anything more, but revali can feel his little jewel hug him tighter. "i chose you," revali whispers. "please remember that. i chose to be with you, for the rest of my life. i'm not letting go of you so soon, so please don't let go of me either."

they both grow quiet after that, and revali thinks link has already fallen asleep when—

"i won't," link whispers back. "i won't let you go. i'm all yours too, revali, i love you too."

revali coos lowly in response, holding link a little tighter in his arms. "good. if it's my skin you wish to be in, then it's yours to live under. i wouldn't have it any other way. now, go to sleep. your mind runs circles around itself like a hylian retriever if left without the careful hand of a trainer, like myself."

"whatever," link snorts, but he shifts and squirms and nestles himself under revali's chin until he's comfortable again, until his breathing evens out. only then does revali relax, wings still wrapped firmly around his sweet little songbird, and lets sleep claim him too.

10. Hetty is too good for this world

11. oh god her SIGH when he leaves the room that alone nearly did me in, I CAN’T CRY YET IT’S TOO EARLY

12. the lotuses on Belle’s wall are lovely and also i’m crying for real now about the Fox sisters 😭

13. i love Fanny so much

14. oh the ticking clock in the background is just CRUEL

15. A NOOSE!!!

16. there is something about Hetty always being with Jack in surgery, in doing what he loves best, and how it’s what Belle loves best too, and now they’re together doing it to save her, idk it’s such an intense dynamic, like they took it further than just unrequited love and made it something more

17. Sneed finally admitting Jack is the better surgeon as if this scene didn’t need to be more intense!!!

18. oh Rotty’s gonna give it back to save her man!!!

19. IS SHE BREATHING

20. “you just sent the best surgeon i’ve ever seen to his death.” ABOUT FUCKING TIME SNEED

21. “and you was always my number one” oh that’s a dad

22. RED GOT TO KILL HIM HELL YES!!!

23. and he ran back to check on her ofc

24. JACK

25. “thank you Fagin” “piss off”

26. UNTAPPED POTENTIAL

27. this instrumental version of joker and the thief is a banger tbh

28. I NEED SEASON 2 ASAP

#the artful dodger #bella watches #what do you mean this is the last episode 😭 #i will literally never watch any kind of period show without referring to the mother characters as mama + their surname #it’s my signature #it started with bridgerton and now i Will Not Stop #ofc i don’t really love mama fox the way i love mama bridgerton and mama danbury but she’s interesting enough #oh i LOVE that oliver grew out of his goody two shoes #i know i said a lot about him being wholesome in the last episode #but a little part of me did wonder/hope it would be him #because it just sounded fun #and it IS #what do you mean hetty is the one who talks him into it 😭 #WHAT DO YOU MEAN 😭😭😭 #cruel but holy shit what a score #seriously the score from the scene of jack trying to figure out how to save belle to belle on the table is mind blowing #what do you mean season 2 hasn’t even been greenlit yet 😭 #what are they waiting for?!

Portia feels like she has it ordered to her staff that if they see the neighbors fighting, they are to open the windows.

The Featherington house hears all the tea from the fight. Portia sits by the window with her afternoon tea as she listens in. When someone says Portia shouldn't probably do that, she responds with, "If they don't want people listening, then they shouldn't be arguing in public."

Her daughters have picked up on this habit too. After Penelope gets married she continues the tradition at her Bloomsbury home.

"Pen, we really shouldn't listen to this," Colin said as moves to close the window.

Penelope dead eye stares at him. "Colin Bridgerton if you close that window I will not sit on your face for a week."

Colin's hands are immediately back at his side.

"Now hush," Penelope said, turning back to the window. "I have a bet with Gen whether or not Mrs. Cullen will finally wallop Dr. Cullen for making eyes at Mr. Swan. She thinks she will. I think Mrs. Cullen also wants to join in on the undressing of Mr. Swan with their eyes and is mad Dr. Cullen has not taken her with him."
