OKAY SO IM NOT A SPOILER FREE BLOG

I respect everyone’s choice to wait for thursday and y’alll have my admiration for your sheer STRENGTH! (how do you do it!?)

if you don’t want spoilers for polin, bridgerton S3, etc., that is totally OKAY ☺️ so please scroll on by. i don’t want to ruin anything for you friend 🥰

BUT-

if you are okay with spoilers, like yours truly-who likes to absorbs everything at once and then shamelessly binge watches again and again, come on in! 😉

so today netflix released the orchestral list for S3 part 1.

out of all the songs, many seem to find “give me everything” by pitbull totally bizarre and I will say too, its definitely out there for a choice. (jealous on the other hand is gold and so colin-coded, but that’s another post). could “gme” be a dancing scene, a montage, a running-to sequence…?? who the heck knows! the only thing on the TUDUM website that inidcates anything about ut is that it will be in ep4…

so i looked for the song version and its a pleasant surpise tbh, the melody and everything really does fit bridgerton 🤣

so for the SPOILER, final warning, i think i found out what the melody will be a background to… i “stumbled” upon a leaked audio for what seems to be the carriage scene (c:apaperpop on TT) OH MY PEARLS and you can hear the beginning strings of the melody behind their words. FOR THE CARRIAGE SCENE

IM ded

no, im still alive but im barely breathing

it’s a choice…

but WHAT A CHOICE and it makes sense?? wot? i think…

the build up the song has, plus the emotions in the scene… i need CPR

anyways, thats all… it might not be much but i’m pretty proud i managed to find this out while on my lunch break from work, if i do say so myself… and i do, so toodaloo 😘

Anyway, we got back to Liverpool, and all the groups there were doing the sort of Shadows type of stuff. And we came back, leather jackets, and jeans and funny hair, 'mach-ing schau,' which went down quite well. —George Harrison

imagine thinking jiang cheng is pathetic as though he isn’t one of the strongest characters both emotionally and physically. he is the most successful man in the story persevering through tragedy after tragedy and being resilient enough to overcome his damage.

i've never really seen hob as particularly progressive throughout most of his history, and indeed he's actively shown as the opposite at least once, but i do think hob has a very 'live and let live' attitude towards a lot of things. listen he's just here for a good time, ok. he's not here on this earth to prevent people from having oral sex or whatever these people are going on about nowadays.

i just imagine someone approaching hob in like, 1880, one of his more successful and settled eras, to try to recruit him for their reactionary moral panic crusade of the day, and hob just looks at them like "have you tried getting a life? have you tried touching grass?" and walks away.

I don't play resident evil but sometimes i just like checking the tags to see what new thing people are making leon kennedy do. You guys just love putting him in situations. there's no greater joy in life for me than seeing that man dance to hatsune miku and fight The Horrors with his dick and ass out

So considering how feudal nations work and if one is willing to focus on the lesser nobles, actual people (so not just showing Edelgard loyalists but those who dislike her too) and if Ludwig manage to escape capture, it would be reasonable to have a civil war happen?

I think it can since Hubert wouldn't just be able to get the network system of his father after murdering him, and the nobles of Adrestia are the worst in terms of opposition to social mobility and primitive form of gender equality, so the lack of civil war is stupid.

I base my thoughts on how France (I'm French too) had the Vendée rebellion and subsequent massacre and how devotion to the Church fueled support to the Spanish nationalists.

Adrestia is somehow the least interesting nation because of how it lack any of the noticeable internal strife shown, and Hubert being so effective at killing dissidents despite being only 20 (before the war) and having been at odd with many of the Seven who would actually have networks on their own is really Mary-sue ish.

I was a Edelstan at first (though I don't think too extreme) , but the more I see things, the more CF, SB and Edie annoy me (though the toxic fans are key in me stopping from preferring Edie).

Ooh!

Cher compatriote,

Thing is, Fodlan has been shown to be... not so feudal at all, especially the Empire.

I mean, Ludwig is jailed by word of the newest Emperor, when Ludwig is the PM and Edel was only the Imperial Princess at that time.

If we assume PM is just a big title (like the Fraldarius being Dukes) and in a feudal setting, Ludwig would have had a lot of lesser Houses and feudal Lords under his authority - the Emperor jails him? I can't see his bannermen - especially since this imprisonment isn't in reaction to anything he did (recently?) - just stand still and continue with their lives - how come no one reacts "wrongly" when he is jailed, in his territory, or the people affiliated to his name (maybe cousins, cadet branches, or what not)?

FWIW, Ludwig managed to escape and sort of mount a small army of men in SB... But that's nowhere what I would expect from the former PM - when we are told he was the one running things at the end of Ionius' rule - to have/raise, the number 1 of the country drops to a nobody by the heir of the puppet ruler, and apparently, the only ones number 1 can have to help him is 15 guys ?

I mean, Ferdie can have his Aegir personal battalion when he ends his paralogue (i know, it's a gameplay mechanic!) - can't we imagine the Aegir Astral Knights would have been something else than 10 dudes following Ferdie in gameplay, and be instead an entire battalion Ludwig could have used to defend himself, or at least run away with? Or imagine those knights tried to locate and liberate him from his prison in Enbarr?

Adrestia is so not developed that, as you say, it ends up being the most boring place of the three (even if I'll argue on this point : both Adrestia and Leicester are completely empty and without interest, but at least, Adrestia had some history landmarks to imagine things, when the Alliance has... Gloucester and his sheep, I guess?) - but at the same time, it could have been much more : Adrestian Emperors claim to descend from Jesus... but there's an Archbishop around (who is actually Jesus and not their ancestor (or is she?), but that's a secret!) so, to everyone who is supposed to buy the official story... Why should the CoS be administred/ruled by a random archbishop, when Jesus' direct line is still alive and kicking? Why should the Emperors share Fodlan - that was liberated by Seiros herself from corrupted people in the North ! - with the descendants of those corrupted people in the North?

The game instead gives us MAGA "Make Adrestia Great Again" with a resentment for the CoS that isn't explained (in Nopes, it's suggested the Emperor who disbanded the Southern church already was pissed with the Central Church!) and we can only guess it's either about Faerghus existing or something else...

I confess my only interest in Adrestia stems from the country being seemingly, during the WoH and post WoH the country were people are happy and peaceful etc "country of a blue lord", and then, 10 years after the end of the War of Heroes, instead of having some "and Renais was rebuilt and Ephraim became the new King of Restauration and helped everyone" we have "and then Lycaon dies mysteriously and the political situation is so "stable" that his successor duels for her throne", complete with a novel having in the background "and Adrestia still didn't leave the Roman Ludi and had northerners being torn apart by beasts as a form of entertainment"* which is, uh, very very very far removed from Marth'n'Tiki finishing their adventures and returning home.

As you pointed out, Adrestia, for what is developed in-game or mentioned about the place, is incredibly bleak and involves child prostitution, heavy class divide and an extreme misoginy in the current times... when it was created/overlooked, at least in the beginning, by Rhea herself ! When Rhea's current home is a rather peaceful place, Adrestia by comparison is a chamber pot, so what the frick happened there? 1000 years are 1000 years, but damn.

We don't have any intel about it - only mentions here'n'there that Hubert and Supreme Leader (but mostly Hubert because he can be criticised in game having a very... biased view of events and refusing to reconsider, but in the end, Adrestia... cannot be developed or have a civil war, because Adrestia isn't the focus of the story - from what we have, we already know it's a bleak place before and after Edel's coronation so... Her goal is to bring reforms to the world, but it's fitting enough that she doesn't deal with her own turf before bringing "reforms" to the rest of Fodlan.

There's also the very doylist reason of Edel having to be marketable, so in Houses, we cannot have people rebel on-screen for what happens in the Empire, else the Emperor... will not sell. Hell, Nopes had to have her brainwashed to have people react to Agarthans killing her randoms right and left, while the Nobles aren't doing a thing - always hammering the fact that "she's brainwashed so it's not her doing this or condoning this by not moving her army to protect her people it's Thales's fault".

Hubert being hyper-competent is an assumed trait at this point lol, unless he really really works with the Agarthans who lend him their tech and spy reports and whatnot. FE isn't a "realistic" as, say, ASOIAF, but without Hubert, Adrestia doesn't function and Edel's plans don't work so Hubert is both a McGuffin plot device (apparently he can pinpoint shambala because Thales fire nukes? Without access to any satellite?) and the character we all love.

Given how Supreme Leader planned her coup coronation and subsequent attack on GM - especially since Leopold already was in her pocket during the mock battle - I'm pretty sure Hubert, or Leopold's army or hell, some of her "allies" already envisaged this, and had either Aegir's "close allies" Hubert'd or monitored.

Or worse, imagine a scenario where Aegir runs to his friend Varley to explain him what happened, how the Emperor sent an army against him to usurp the throne and how they must warn everyone and Leopold to raise the army against her... Only to have Varley reveal he is now the Bishop of the Southern Church, and Leopold sided with her since the beginning...

I know it's not comparable, but Seteth (or some nuns?) mentions how he hasn't heard a thing about the faithful in the Empire... so either they were killed because they were practicionners of the Seiros faith, or because they rebelled/protested against the war and were, uh, disposed of (tfw the games never care about telling us who were the humans used to create the various imperial demonic beasts we see).

FWIW, I have a plotbunny idea where someone pretending to be Hresvelg bastard - with a crest of Seiros - wants to ask for Nopes!Rhea's help to support his claim to the throne, since Supreme Leader declared her war against the Church, he can put an end to it if he becomes Emperor, right? The CoS is torn between accepting "it would create at least some instability in the Empire, so the Kingdom could breathe a bit and maybe use this opportunity to finally fend them off if the Emperor calls back her troops in Enbarr" and "the CoS doesn't meddle in the affairs of humans like succession issues and only does so if it's to prevent a war but here you want us to create a civil war??"

*it's a novel so historical accuracy isn't that high, and yet, even if it's a porn book, why adding this detail in the background - just like people listening to music - I doubt it was written by a Faerghian writter so what, was this detail "northmen were slaughtered by beasts in the background and it was very funny lol" added just as a background thing, like fish being served as a meal ("historical" detail that might have been true!) or...?

Have you ever seen this old video of two cats hissing at each other and then fighting and then the camera pans to show a dog that was sitting off screen who then barks and makes the cats scramble off? Your comic reminded me of it lol.

tfw you think youve some how managed to survive alll that hgw and bb nonsense only to get isekaid to yet more bullshit and slapped with divinity from a religion you thought you had 0 connection to and now youve been slam dunked right into the middle of a bunch of conflicts between a group of overpowered emotionally stunted nitwits who are in constant competition with the greeks for 'fastest escalation of arguments ever' not to mention they keep talking to you like you know wtf theyre referring to bc the god youre repping is one of wisdom and intellect who handwrote the epics theyre from but youre literally just a gamer who dropped out of highschool.

and bb is STILL there

Today was fun! I got to see the ultimate monument to pre-Revolution French excess and my allergies had me sniffing and sneezing so piteously that it prompted a complete stranger to offer me Kleenex.

we did it! we moved back to France!!! Nova did great at every step of the way, I'm so so proud of him. I can't wait for him to discover my country and see where this next chapter takes us.

"It's not a big deal. I actually really enjoy cooking, Beelzebub," Zarina doesn't even let him start talking about her taking Belphegor's place and wanting to do everything herself... at first. She arrived to the kitchen earlier and started preparing dinner for everyone ahead of time, wishing to have dinner at the right time as it seemed that today was Belphegor's and Beelzebub's turn to prepare, but she thought she could do it herself just fine. She did owe Beel for that one time at the beach for keeping her company. Then again, she didn't mind Beelzebub joining in. They haven't spent that much time together. "I guess, you could say that cooking puts me at ease? Even if the vegetables, fruits, and meats are very different compared to the Human Realm, it's still fun to do it. But, hm," she looks at the recipe in front of her, finding a new ingredient she doesn't know how to prepare. "Could you tell me how to prepare this vegetable? It says to cut it, but... I feel like it'll scream or run if I do. I've never prepared this one." It's comedic, actually. Zarina stared at the new vegetables with suspicion, thinking that one of them just might jump at her. Though, the way she was absent-mindedly twirling the knife in her hand proved that she'd be just fine, but she did want to make this dinner faster and without it being late. "I also think cooking together is more fun. My brother and I usually fought for our place in the kitchen because we wanted to outdo each other. Do you and Belphegor do that too or nah?"

The first thing he did when he stepped into the already fragrant kitchen was ask if she needed help, but he was met with disappointment the moment she asserted that she could handle it on her own.

"That's good. . ."

And still he lingered, the aroma of cooking Devildom cuisine keeping him anchored to the room. His stomach wouldn't allow him to wander elsewhere, not to mention this was a rare opportunity to witness Zarina at work. There had been other opportunities to watch her cook, and he had done so many times before, but it wasn't often that she was alone.

"I wish it would put me at ease. Any time I get near food, I can't keep myself calm." He pressed a hand to his empty gut and groaned.

Beelzebub was so certain that his endless gluttony would always be his downfall, but she didn't seem to mind that he was constantly hungry. She still asked for his advice, and he would happily give it if it meant getting dinner in his stomach sooner.

"You know how people cry when they cut onions?" He pointed towards the vegetable she aimed to dice before picking it up by the mess of thin, course roots. "It's the opposite with these. Banshee onions scream and cry when you cut them, but you can keep them quiet if you pinch the roots like this."

He spoke about it so casually that it took him a moment to realize how strange it was. "Oh, they don't actually feel anything, I promise."

The onion was placed on the cutting board, but his attention remained glued to Zarina and the flawless twirl of the knife between her fingers. "No, we aren't usually that competitive with each other. He gets annoyed when I eat the ingredients, but we still work pretty well together."

if there's a trope that instantly kills suspense of disbelief for me, it's the tragic rain of sadness i.e. when it begins to rain the moment something sad and personal happens to the character

Je vais à un truc familiale ce weekend et ma mère m'a proposé de mettre ma nouvelle jupe noire en tenue plutôt bien habillée, mais je l'ai pas prise car je déteste mettre des vêtements 'fem' pour des occasions spéciales, mais là j'ai vu un tiktok avec un gars qui portait une robe noire et je regrette un peu de ne pas l'avoir emportée :(
