Next To Normal

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but I was listening to “Superboy and the Invisible Girl” and was wondering why it’s not mainly a piano song, as piano is Natalie’s thing. But it’s not Natalie’s song. It starts with guitar and then goes into guitar and drums because she is singing about Gabriel. But when Natalie sings “Take a look at the invisible girl-“ she is not singing about Gabe, she is singing about herself, which is why piano, and only piano, is playing. Then when Natalie goes back into the chorus, where she sings about Gabe, the score goes back to guitar and drums.

My biggest goal in life is making people sob about Anthony Bridgerton (I am people)

Summary: When he sits back down at the head of the table, he kisses Gregory on the cheek. “Do you want to make a wish too?” Gregory gurgles, entranced by the flames of the eighteen candles, tears still drying on his reddened cheeks. Gregory rarely cries—a trait that does not run in the family, something the older four make a point to remind Eloise and Francesca—but when he does, he seems to pick the worst moments. Anthony wraps one hand around Gregory’s tiny fists as a safety precaution, and he reaches across the table, tugging the cake closer to them. He mimes it once before he starts blowing out the candles. Gregory copies him with a joyous coo. And, mid-laugh after Gregory manages to take out precisely one of the candles, Anthony realizes he does need to make a wish, and he has nothing he wants to wish for. So, he wishes for more of the same. --- Vignettes of Anthony as an eighteen-year-old

What's your Spotify wrapped song for the age you'll be next year?

people in fanfiction are so good at identifying v specific smells. I literally struggle to identify vanilla when I’m sniffing a candle labelled “VANILLA” how are these kids getting woodsmoke, rain, mint, and a whiff of byronic despair from a fuckin tshirt

What the fuck did Luigi ever do to Toad?!?

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

people on instagram got mad about michaela, so i wrote a fic where all the bridgertons are a little fruity (because, let's be real, they are)

self-promoting my bridgerton modern AU again -- here's chapter 2 of saphne!

[darkesky]

Hi I found your bridgerton series through the creloise fic and I love it!!! Please tell me we’ll get a happy creloise ending at some point 🥺

aw i’m glad you liked that fic 🥰 it really was a piece i loved writing (how do you watch season 3 and NOT think about creloise?!). there will definitely… be happy eloise, and happy cressida, at one point? no promises it’s together haha

[darkesky]

also so sorry to clog up your inbox but truly a favorite part of the bridgerton modern au IS the sibs all getting their own album. like i was listening to midnights- anti hero specifically- and it kind of gagged me. that IS anthony. to a t, really, which is sad because its an insane song to relate to. i really am going insane here and i fear it might annoy my friends how often i'm like spamming their phones with messages about this (and more of the fic in general)

ahhhh thank you for this (and the other message!!)! anthony and midnights songs is my special comfort place because truly, that man could relate to BONKERS songs (anti-hero?? i want to do something with glitch and anthony/edwina/kate’s drama one day too). also, the realization the universe spans 40 years physically took me aback haha. thank you thank you thank you ❤️

[darkesky]

hi i just read your most recent bridgerton fic and the way i am waxing poetic to my friends is insane. the way i searched your username on here (a site i haven't used in months) just to send you my appreciation. i wept for the entirety of the time it took me to read your most recent publication and i just want you to know how much i appreciate that you do this. i've read so many parts of the series multiple times and i think about them constantly. thank you a million times over.

thank you so much!!! i love hearing this series resonates with people because it's definitely one of my favorite things to write/return to/think about constantly. so, again, thank you so so much for reading and commenting and loving the bridgertons <3

““There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.””

— Julius Caesar, Act IV, scene III. By William Shakespeare
