i really, really love how they're handling penelope and eloise's relationship in bridgerton - there isn't forgiveness yet, but the space left by the rupture in their friendship is all the more emphasized by how nothing can fill it. penelope gets the same treatment that eloise did by whistledown - she has to suffer a taste of her own medicine. eloise isn't cruel and she still cares for penelope. penelope completely understands eloise's anger. neither is vindictive; both are grieving; both yearn for each other more than anything else; and yet for all that, nothing is or will be the same between them again, and I think that in and of itself is a form of a betrayal, a "you were my person, and then you took yourself away from me."

possibly the funniest thing in this season of bridgerton is when colin comes to comfort penelope after lady whistledown writes about them and she says something like “oh, it would’ve been suspicious had she not written about it”, like ??? yes, penelope, that is SUCH a normal thing to say to someone who doesn’t even suspect you to be lady whistledown 😭😭😭
