How To Get Away With Murder Snippet

The coppery scent of blood filled her senses, choking her with its sharp, metallic bitterness. The grass beneath her was stained with fresh blood, dark and glistening under the dim lamplight. Every breath she took seemed to draw more of that metallic bitterness into her lungs, making it impossible to escape the reality of what had occurred.

Murder.

The air hummed around Eloise as she shakily reached for her phone, her bloody fingers staining the case red.

There was only one person she wanted to call.

“I need your help,” she said, the words paining her to say.

“Like, with homework?”

Eloise glanced down at the body of George Morrison, a cold chill running down her spine. “Sure. Homework.”

i’m so sick of people saying that if theloise will happen eloise will be estranged from the ton because it is simply not true imo!! we all know how eloise feels about that society but still, she wouldn’t want to be left out. fortunately that is not the case. some people use this argument to explain why eloise and theo won’t be together but my point still stands: money, social status and society rules won’t be the reasons why they won’t end up together. those are just lame excuses. well, they may be if, for example, theo decides to let her go because he doesn’t feel worthy of her or something like that, but for me this is the only case. but the thing is: they could end up together.

let’s talk about the bridgerton family. we all know how much they value love, especially violet. she made this clear in the books (where she also talked about class!!),

and she made it clear in the tv show, both in s1 and s2

obviously, the head of the household is anthony. we saw, at the beginning of s2, that he’d decided to put duty above everything else but eventually he let it go and decided to choose love. and i’m sure he’ll want the same for his siblings. of course, this is a tv show, there will be conflicts, but he wants his siblings to experience his same happiness. also, mary sharma’s backstory in the show. kate’s dad. c’mon it would be VERY hypocritical to disapprove.

the queen. if she approves of something, the rest of the ton approves as well. we all remember the wrecking ball dance and how she literally meddled in the discussion, and lied lol, to avoid rumors because she saw the love between anthony and kate. of course everyone knew, even the queen, that that was, in fact, the reason why the wedding wasn’t celebrated, but in that moment it didn’t matter. she forgot about the failed wedding and watched the couple on the dance floor.

like violet, even the queen seems to love love. calam agrees with me. he said:

so i believe that if theo and eloise decide to be together and decide to do it properly, the queen would approve. i say “properly” because we all saw how the queen reacted when she saw lady mary. haters use that scene to prove their point but i want to use that scene to prove MY point. queen charlotte said:

she was mad. lady mary eloped (correct me if i’m wrong). but she did what she had to dobbecause she didn’t have the support of her family. but eloise does and the bridgertons would help her with the queen. they will help her explain the situation to her majesty. and again, the queen loves love. she was mad at simon and daph too when the engagement was announced but, let’s be honest, she loved simon’s speech. she loves to see two people in love.

so, in conclusion, social status is not what will get in the way of their relationship. i don’t know what they will come up with to break them up and i hope the writers will choose the right path.

i could talk about how they’re perfect for each other and use eloise, claudia and calam’s words to explain my point and the whole marina’s situation, but that’s another story. if they have to go separate ways, i just hope they will part as friends. i don’t want them to ruin his character so that people will root for phillip.

thanks for coming to my tedtalk🫶🏻

the irony of having eloise call cressida "the viper that she invited into her home" to penelope of all fucking people. I turned the show off after that and i doubt i will ever turn it back on.

penelope, who eloise invited into her home, who spent years using her closeness to the bridgertons for her own gain. penelope, who eloise confided so many secrets in, who turned around and published them knowing full well it could spell ruin for the bridgertons--specifically the bridgerton women.

penelope is the viper, and to try and play it any other way, to try and push that label onto cressida, and to assassinate eloise's character(and colin's, the rest of the bridgertons, and lady danbury and every other character that was forced support this LW bullshit to prop penelope up) isn't just lazy. it's a fucking joke.

uni singlehandedly killing my time, my social life, my will to live, my hobbies, my sleep schedule, my appetite, my hair, my skin, my confidence AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

a thing with feathers. by sondersoflight

canon divergent from the end of s2, rated G, oneshot (3.1K)

“He feels inadequate seeing her like this – the last couple of weeks he has been able to almost forget the invisible ocean that exists between them. Now he is too aware of his shabby clothes and his ink-stained hands. Eloise is lovelier than any flower he has seen. And she would probably roll her eyes if he were to say so out loud.”

The Fine Print by theloise

post-canon-ish(?), rated G, oneshot collection

“Sometimes, Benedict cannot help but miss the little girl who used to chase him through the halls of Bridgerton House -- the tiny, blue-eyed baby who pulled incessantly at his hair. But Eloise is more than that now; her heart beats large, and open, and wide. And it has expanded to include -- of all people -- a poor, radical printer's apprentice.

And he cannot stop it. He does not want to stop it.

It’s nearing 2 a.m. and I just wrote over 50% of a small one-shot I may or not post. In my Notes app, no less.
