One thing about a gender swapped Sophie that I don't think a lot of people are talking about is how it changes their background and plot line.

A male Ward, who is the Lord's bastard, is a much bigger threat to Araminta. It is not only proof that her husband can father a child but a boy. Would she honestly keep a male bastard around just to make him suffer? Would her husband have claimed him and asked that he be made heir in his will?

Then we have the issue of what is their job? Because male!Sophie can't be a housemaid Lady's Maid or Governess. So no easy way to stash them with the family while trying to woo them. At least with the female members. I can't see Anthony hiring anyone to an important Steward or Clerk job just cause Benedict asks. Maybe tutor for Gregory?

Even Sophie's public sexual harassment at a party is severely different if she was a man. They can just get rid of it altogether, but it is how they're reintroduced.

And finally, the issue of being a Mistress and having a Bastard. The main reason for Sophie not to give in to Benedict. Maybe her male counterpart would have similar issues with being unwed partners, but that has different issues between two men in this era. (Don't know how to phrase that last bit better)

There are too many changes to the character's background and history.

So I say keep female Sophie and maybe give her and Benedict a boyfriend in the future. Otherwise, it's a brand new character, not a gender bent version.

I NEED SOPHIE BECKETT TO BE IRISH !!!!

This is my Roman Empire, i have dreamt of this and I have multiple reasons

1. It will tie into History and how Irish people have always been considered an outcast in society for centuries especially before the famine

2. When I read the book all I could hear was an Irish!Sophie with her accent, her attitude, her antics and her random quotes are so Irish I just love (I also feel with this Irish attitude it could bring humour to their storyline and season)

3. I feel it would also play well with Benedict not being able to recognise her even more due to her accent ( at the masquerade she pretend to be British when actually she is fully Irish)

4. People would even question her parentage even more due to her being Irish and highly educated (which was a rare sight in that period of history)

5. I feel like this aspect of Sophie could show how she has never felt like a person, never having something that was her and with this symbolism it shows how Irish people had everything taken from them as a nation and as people such as aspects of language, land and etc.

Irish!Sophie has never knew how beautiful Irish culture is with araminta excluding her from this side of her due to never considering her as a person.

Headcannon- she arrives to the Bridgerton household and a few of the staff are Irish and they start speaking to her in Irish and she’s like “what” like utterly confused and they start to question her and her upbringing

6. And I was watching titanic (I know) and I was thinking this would be iconic for irish!sophie (let me cook!!!)

I imagine a scene like the Irish dance scene in titanic

^^^^^

When Sophie starts to work for the Bridgerton household she meet the other house staff which could have a few Irish iconic characters and they invite her to a drink and a dance in like an underground basement type of thing where there is montage of Sophie dancing a ceile or drinking with her fellow Irish people (rambled there for a second)

This starts to happen a few other nights and Benedict gets suspicious of her always being tired and he follows her one night and finds her dancing, singing and looking happy. He decides to confront her but just to see she has had too much fun ( she’s drunk) and as he is about to scould her or something idk she grabs him to dance (this could be like a moment he fully falls for her)

Skip to them leaving and Sophie is drunk and they could have a moment where it parallels to Benedict’s high dinner scene on their walk home (we live among the stars type of moment)

NOW HEAR ME OUT!!!!!

They could somehow have a little drunk smooch and Sophie is at the state of drunk that she nearly reveals that she was the lady in silver at the masquerade ball and as she’s about it fully tell him she’s like “I was the La- lady-“ AND SHE JUST PUKES ON HIS FEET

(Y’all cancel me Idaf I needed this to be known)

And there’s a moment where they just look in shock and disbelief they start to laugh.

Skip to the next morning and she is hungover like crazy and she leaves her room and runs into Benedict and just tries to ignore what happened last night and bids him hello and hurriedly speeds off while he chuckles to himself

7. With Sophie being Irish it could also make Benophie stronger as Benedict is willing to accept her and understand her culture and involve it in their life e.g buying her a claddagh ring as an engagement ring (one of the stories about the creation of the claddagh ring are about a peasant and a prince fall in love and it is forbidden or something and the prince gives her a ring to symbolise their love(BENOPHIE CODED)), learning Irish with her, visiting ireland and giving their children irish middle names

8. I also think a brilliant song for the season would be linger by the cranberries because the lyrics and meaning of the song are perfect for Benophie while it also being an Irish band

9. I know that people are hoping for a POC Sophie or a Latina Sophie but I feel with Irish Sophie’s exclusion from society due to her being Irish shoes a whole other side of Bridgerton’s defiance against societal norms

10.i think I just want an Irish Sophie because I’m Irish but shhhhh

My days of Cowper-trutherism are over 😅 seems like they’re going highly book-accurate, but I hope they don’t push Rosamund+Benedict too far

"She is going to Australia!" Araminta cried out, pointing toward Sophie.

"Put me in the cell!" Posy sighed, placing the back of her hand against her brow. "I did it!"

"Posy, will you be quiet?" Sophie whispered. "Trust me, you do not want to be in that cell. It's dreadful. And there are rats."

Posy started inching away from the cell.

"You will never see another invitation again in this town." Lady Bridgerton said to Araminta.

"I am a Countess!" Araminta hissed.

"And I am more popular," Lady Bridgerton returned, the snide words so out of character that both Benedict's and Sophie's mouths dropped.

Thanks to a very, very long lifespan, Araminta and Mariela just aged up recently, so when Mariela offered to come help with her great-grandchildren, I had to say yes so I could give them an elder makeover.

Araminta quickly appointed herself a chess mentor, but she just wanted to talk about herself the whole time, so I don't know how much Asher got from the whole thing.

[stardustpinkart]

Araminta has Sun and Moon plushies. She loves the Daycare attendent, especially Sunny! Because hes so cheerful and bouncy and energtic. Moony is more for bedtime, though she does like sometimes when he plays games like hide and seek

Was it so much to wish that her mother thought of her with the same pride she felt for her other three daughters? Penel- ope knew that Colin wasn't going to choose her as his bride, but shouldn't a mother be at least a little bit blind to her chil- dren's faults? It was obvious to Penelope that neither Prudence, Philippa, nor even Felicity had ever had a chance with a Bridgerton. Why did her mother seem to think their charms so exceeded Penelope's? Julia Quinn, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of excited to read about this mother-daughter relationship, especially compared to the relationships in other books.

Violet is the fictional perfect mother, and so was Mary the perfect stepmother. Araminta is the perfect evil stepmother. Portia doesn't strike me as the perfect anyhing, and isn't that great?

I'm not gonna say that I expect this to be terribly realistic, but at the same time I feel like this is going to be a bit closer to the mother-daughter relationship I'm used to, compared to the others.
