Into The Carriage

It's Derek Craven Day!!!! What a great day to celebrate Lisa Kleypas's best hero!!!!!!

Remember that:

--Derek Craven saved Sara from getting bangs (would that we all were rescued from such a monstrosity).

--Derek Craven also saved Sara from multiple bad hats.

--Derek Craven is Sex Worker Positive.

--Derek Craven's only friend who is not his employee (B.S.F.--Before Sara Fielding) is in fact a woman, which I'm going to chalk up to him being a feminist.

--Derek Craven does one of my favorite romance things of all time, which is Dropping a Fancy Accent for a Real Accent During High Emotion.

--As recently discussed, Derek Craven stealing Sara's spectacles is not in fact a "he's a tool" thing, it's a Complex Moment of Character Development Meant to Signal His Past, His Present, and His Future.

another reason why I love Derek Craven (besides the breastfeeding thing) is that you get the distinct vibe that he's the guy who watches other people's babies (while holding Lydia) and mutters to Sara about how the other babies ain't shit

Thinking about how Anthony Bridgerton’s forehead crease

The one that doesn’t even go away when he’s sleeping

Only fully disappears when he’s kissing Kate

He saw her dancing with another man, So he confessed his love, asked her to marry him, told his family they engaged, protected her from her mum,brought her to their new home, “broke” the furniture & got her pregnant…All in less than 24 hours, Colin Bridgerton stood on business👏🏼

Penelope pulling Colin closer BRIDGERTON (2020–)

the parallel between eloise forgiving and understanding penelope by going back and reading the copies of lady whistledown she saved and colin going on the same journey by reading pen’s letters he saved oh they really are her soulmates

Penelope: we can get the marriage annulled if you want

Colin: I’d actually rather die

penelope: i'll give you an annulment and free you from this marriage

colin:

Served cunt, caused problems, took names, healed generational trauma, made bank, gave face, rode dick, a whole MOTHER (metaphorically and literally) at the age of 20.

Penelope Bridgerton; they can never make me hate you.

and he wonders why his wife would question whether he was ever punished as a child as if he isn’t the most dramatic bitch around

This is so adorable, they are perfect 🥹💙

Guy just walked in with a shirt that said “I don’t question my wife’s choices because I’m one of them” and frankly I’m obsessed

When he said "plan to entrap me" i actually laughed like baby boy i know you're mad but your gurl was five seconds away from a proposal before you gatecrashed it and when she actively tried to escape you. you ran her carriage down, finger banged her in the back of it and then proposed of your own volition.

What exactly did she do? Eat cake? Actively stay away from you? Engage in courtship with someone else?

Sorry its so funny 😂🤣
