LGBTQ+ CHARACTERS IN BRIDGERTON: A RANT

I want to say that as a sapphic person myself, I love Bridgerton. I adore it. It’s my favorite show. I love seeing these beautiful couples fall in love and investing all this time into seeing their stories play out. Most of them are straight couples, and yet I love the show anyways because I love love.

I’m talking attraction, infatuation, romance, angst, fluff, lust, honestly everything that has to do with it.

I have given so much support to the heterosexual ships of Bridgerton as a sapphic person. What I find really unfortunate is that a lot of heterosexual fans can’t seem to do the same thing for a sapphic pairing. If you’re upset because you can’t relate to a queer couple, that’s okay. I can’t relate to a straight one. You have plenty of other heterosexual ships in the show/books to identify with, and us queer fans unfortunately have had nothing. Until now.

Fran can still struggle with a miscarriage, infertility, grief, wanting a child, and still be queer. We have no idea what her season is going to be like and we won’t know for a while. To say you that hate her her season already just because Michael is now Michaela isn’t fair.

If you’re upset just because you prefer Michael as a man, then you still have the book and you can read it whenever you want.

Benedict can still end up with Sophie even though he’s bisexual. The point of bisexuality is being attracted to multiple genders.

Ever since these Benedict and Francesca queer confirmations happened, this fandom has become extremely toxic and very unwelcoming. Sure every fandom has its levels of toxicity, but seeing people talk about how the love that I and many other queer people express isn’t a story worth telling has just become so exhausting to see everywhere online. I’ve become uncomfortable in this fandom space and at this point I might just take a break and come back when I think I can handle it.

the fact that pen is gonna faint in their engagement party and will probably trigger the hell out of the bridgerton family because the last time someone fell to the ground and died was edmund.

penelope is a better woman than me, i would’ve lied and said i got engaged just to see if colin would cry

[bats-baby]

Penelope has probably always dreamt of running her fingers through Colin Bridgerton’s hair and when she finally got the chance she took it.

you guys are the real heroes

the bond between a girl and their favorite fictional man is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object

#that break up with your codependent homoerotic best friend will mess you up for life

✨ tonight i want all of you tonight give me everything toniiight✨

[bats-baby]

Absolutely hilarious to me that the ton is gonna be speculating on why and how Penelope and Colin ended up engaged and there’s definitely gonna be some entrapment/pity rumours going around but the actual truth of it is that Colin chased a carriage down, fell to his knees and went “please please please please please please please”

It's hilarious when people are like "Rake Colin doesn't feel right, it's cringy". May I introduce you to The Point

Benedict next season: Mother, what you and Father, and Anthony, and Daphne... and Colin... and Francesca... all have is rare.
