It's surreal to finally be in the Benophie era, a moment I once thought might never come. There were days when it felt like my favorite story was slipping away, and I feared I'd be deprived of the joy I’d imagined experiencing watching them. But now, with all the pictures, the photoshoots, and the masquerade actually happening, it feels like everything is falling into place—like something is truly right in the world. I’m a Benophie fan through and through, and I’ll always love them.
I need to see Benedict Bridgerton so deeply in love with Sophie that it consumes him—that every inch of him aches to touch her, to kiss her. His love for her should be so fierce that he would leave society behind if it meant keeping her by his side. I want his love for Sophie to torture him every day, burning within him like an inferno, pushing him to destroy anything that stands in the way of her happiness.
Sophie deserves to experience love, trust, and care—every gentle and tender thing life has to offer. After all the cruelty she's endured, she needs to be cherished so completely that the hardships of her past fade into nothing more than a distant memory. Every good thing should come her way, replacing the pain she’s suffered with the warmth and joy she’s always deserved.
And the jail scene—it has to happen. I need that kiss in the jail. I need Benedict to declare Sophie as his fiancée in front of his mother, and I need Violet Bridgerton to step forward, defending Sophie as a true sign of acceptance into the family.
but that's just what I feel hehe
