You wish to follow your heart, and I wish to nurture my mind

eloise bridgerton + blue for @jakeperalta

[nurturesmind]

"i am quite happy to be out here, as it is." she inclines her head in simon's direction but her eyes don't leave the book in her hands. she could almost hear her mother telling her not to be rude, could almost see daphne shaking her head in disapproval towards her and apologetically towards her husband; alas, until eloise actually hears or sees any such thing, she was going to stay right where she was on that bench.

after all, she believes she's done her fair share of entertaining her nieces and nephews for the day. "big family gatherings may be enjoyable for you, but for me, that is simply every day of my life."

@infamousrake ! starter call.

[nurturesmind]

now why do some sections of the 🐝 fandom fawn over cressida's (almost?) redemption arc but think penelope can't have one ...

[nurturesmind]

i think this goes without saying but. eloise cannot play the pianoforte to save her life

[nurturesmind]

I had two longings and one was fighting the other. I wanted to be loved and I wanted to be always alone.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005) PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the film, adjust as necessary

you must know... surely, you must know it was all for you.

you are too generous to trifle with me.

if your feelings are still what they were last april, tell me so at once.

my affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever.

you have bewitched me, body and soul, and i love... i love you.

i never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

i have struggled in vein and i can bear it no longer.

these past months have been a torment.

i came to [location name] with the single object of seeing you. i had to see you.

are you too proud, [name]? and would you consider pride a fault or a virtue?

we're doing our best to find a fault in you.

i have fought against my better judgement, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance.

you really do love him, don't you?

please, do be seated.

this is a charming house.

all these things i am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.

how are you this evening, my dear?

may i have the next dance, [name]?

my brother gave it to me. he shouldn't have.

i wish you would not call me "my dear."

what endearments am i allowed?

what should i call you when i am cross?

i cannot believe that anyone can deserve you... but it appears i am overruled.

are you out of your senses? i thought you hated the man.

have you no objection other than your belief in my indifference?

i do like him. i love him.

only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony, which is why i will end up an old maid.

i love you. most ardently.

please do me the honor of accepting my hand.

i appreciate the struggle you have been through, and i am very sorry to have caused you pain.

believe me, it was unconsciously done.

are you... laughing at me?

i wonder who first discovered the power of poetry in driving away love?

i thought that poetry was the food of love.

what do you recommend to encourage affection?

i'm very fond of walking.

i do not have the talent of conversing easily with people i have never met before.

perhaps you should take your aunt's advice and practice?

so this is your opinion of me. thank you for explaining it so fully.

those are the words of a gentleman.

from the first moment i met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world i could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

forgive me for taking up so much of your time.

maybe it's that i find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me.

my good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.

i cannot tease you about that. what a shame, for i dearly love to laugh.

i will not and i certainly never shall.

you have insulted me in every possible way, and can now have nothing further to say.

i must ask you to leave immediately.

i have never been thus treated in my entire life.

i can admire you much better from here.

do you talk, as a rule, while dancing?

i prefer to be unsociable and taciturn.

i dare say you will find him amiable.

it would be most inconvenient since i have sworn to loathe him for all eternity.

no one would suspect your manners to be rehearsed.

i've come to tell you the news.

not all of us can afford to be romantic.

i've been so blind.

they are far too easy to judge.

i was wrong. i was entirely wrong about him.

i am well aquainted with you, [name], to know that i cannot alarm you, even should i wish it.

your skills in the art of matchmaking are positively occult.

i've never seen so many pretty girls in my life!

i do not deny it.

has the pig escaped again?

we are all fools in love.

sa.phne/tdai isn’t my favorite 🐝 story by far but there’s a different kind of magic in that first season

[nurturesmind]

If you wish to go up to the library for the rest of the evening,I shall not say a word. Nor shall I blame you. I am merely glad you came.

BRIDGERTON | 1.08

[nurturesmind]

oh, would he get along with colin. an effort is made to not roll her eyes as he starts rambling on, but she was certain the strain was noticeable enough on her face for him to imagine what reaction was being withheld. if anything, he should give her points for trying. "i must confess, i do not think of food the same way you seem to. regardless of whatever feelings they might have, i think they should be eaten."

eloise quirks a brow as a server stops in front of them. she takes two canapés from the tray and hands him the other. god forbid she has to hear a 'ladies first' from him.

"thinking of what to drink next isn't far off from thinking about what to eat next," she tells him pointedly. "sampling croissants could be the only thing i am permitted to do in cambridge, as you well know. but what i like with regards to university does not matter in the grand scheme of things, so i'll take what i can get... even if it comes in the form of a pastry."

@nurturesmind continued from here

"I have every intention of eating the food, Miss Bridgerton. Have you ever considered that it's the complete opposite? That food would rather not be eaten at all? Perhaps our hors d'oeuvres are sentient and are secretly begging for you to choose one over the other." There's a glimmer of mischief in his dark green eyes as he makes a show of glancing longingly at the nearby table of food and then back to her. "Would you like me to grab you a sacrifice?"

Unfortunately for her, Wendell Bambleby is long-winded on just about any topic. "Cambridge does have some incredible food. My very favorite cafe serves the most delectable croissants. Perhaps just as good or better than those the French make." Did he sense a hint of bitterness in her tone with regard to the topic of university? "I promise I think about a great deal more than food. For example, I am also always thinking about where my next cup of coffee will come from. Or tea. I'm not too particular."

"But tell me, Miss Bridgerton, would you ever like to find yourself at Cambridge? Sampling croissants or otherwise?"

[nurturesmind]

"well, i suppose your first meeting with my brothers was never going to be a boring, quintessential one, but... believe me when i say i did not think it would be a life-threatening meeting for you." not literally more than figuratively, at least. it would be a fun story to tell people in the future, eloise supposed, to the right audience. if anthony didn't have him shipped off to america and forced him never to write to her again after today, that is.

"you are alright, aren't you?" it must have been the tenth time she's asked him that in the past five minutes, but she wanted to be absolutely certain. "i doubt you've been in a situation like this before."

@dynastymuses - for phillip ! starter call.

[nurturesmind]

i know anthony is the only sibling she has a heartfelt moment with in her book and i hope that makes it into the show for her season but i need them to write one in for her and daphne too

[nurturesmind]

rip eloise you really would’ve loved gr.eta ger.wig’s “i am sick of everyone saying that love is all a woman is fit for, i’m so sick of it! but i’m so lonely”
