I've learned the hell of fear don't beat love's heaven.
I'm in love, or am I just afraid to be alone?
I want more--more than I probably should.
The dangerous part of youth is thinking you're in your prime.
No matter how lonely gravity can be, the Little Dipper's still checkin' on me.
The bliss of oblivious is calling me...
Should I act like I don't want more?
There's so much honesty in the lie.
The world was never made for me, so why even try?
Interesting how we give all the power to the ones who play victim to their nature.
Sure, I still might be afraid, but at least I’m standing here.
i love that ari’s laugh in the coming out scene is due to the fact that they cannot read tricia’s handwriting
link to the interview
I would LOOOOVE for someone to make these. Incredible ideas and I can’t wait to see if someone works on them
Olivia returning home after the Fair and has to face her parents. They talk about why she dated him the first place, how they reacted to finding out about their relationship and so on.
Richie returning from military school after being re-enrolled at Rydell, but still harboring some hurt feelings towards his parents for sending him away, and being mad they let her marry Mr. Daniels.
The Pink Ladies finding out about Cynthia and Lydia, and Olivia worrying about Cynthia getting caught, due to her experience with dating Mr. Daniels. (bonus point if cynthia says she has been worrying about what will happen if anyone finds out every day since she kissed Lydia for the first time).
Hazel, Cynthia, Shy guy and nancy getting into sheningans together in drama club. Perhaps getting revenge on someone, or trying to get Shy guy together with a girl.
School throwing a mother-daughter brunch, and the T-birds try to keep Cynthia company, because the pink ladies are being forced by their mothers to attend
Cynthia and the t-birds cheering Shy guy up because his dad is still giving him a hard time about quitting boxing.
Sandy learning from Frenchie and Betty about how the Pink Ladies were founded. Maybe even meets some of them and/or the OG T-Birds.
Thinking about Lydia and Cynthia repeatedly looking at each other smiling during the Think Pink! musical number...
NOTHING AGAIN
There’s no rise of the pink ladies fanfics posted today an Ao3 and that makes me sad. As Jane said “I WANT MORE”
Y’know when Buddy was promoting his campaign in the hallway for the dance and the group threw lollies to the crowd. I BET YOU that that was either Dots idea or she provided the lollies, probably both to be honest. Because shes the candy princess
There’s no rise of the pink ladies fanfics posted today an Ao3 and that makes me sad. As Jane said “I WANT MORE”
There's so much I could say about Cynthia's coming out scene
From the small differences in their reaction between each question
Or the way Cynthia's mood immediately changes when Nancy mentions the play
To the way their hands are still dirty from working on the car for some reason I can't explain feels like a giant gut punch
Or the little short breath nancy take when she reads the note, how her hand shake a little
Or the way Cynthia curls up a little more in fear of what Nancys gonna say
Or the way Cynthia almost seems dissociated while Nancy reads the note, not really in the room anymore, probably too terrified of what's gonna happen to bear to witness it
Or the fact that Nancy knows Cynthia so well she said the perfect thing, that she either said something to make cynthia laugh, or the laugh was just one of relief bc Cynthia wouldn't have to lose one of her best friends
THE PINK LADIES Olivia, Nancy, Jane and Cynthia.

Nya. Nya how do you know what Jay’s bed felt like.
i need rise of the pink ladies to get popular so people start writing about the t-birds and pink ladies having these amazing platonic found family bromances. i need it. i need to know that other people think that gil and richie tell eachother everything and that shy guy gives out hugs as much as he breaths and that nancy repairs everyone’s jackets and olivia tutors everyone in language arts and everyone goes to jane for emotional help even though she sucks at it and the t-birds would murder for cynthia and potato’s little siblings are everyone’s little siblings and-
Little moments between Cynthia and Lydia during 1x10 the season finale’s final musical number “Think Pink”
Please I need this 🍀🍀
Hello Friends, Can you please help me with the Bridgerton Wedding dates
I see a few in https://bridgertonbooks.fandom.com/wiki/ but not all.
Purpose: I am writing a fanfic and dont want to muddle up the dates.
Thanks in advance!! Pic from Twitter
Thank you @harnitbee for sharing @pink-roses-garden's wonderful summary of the timeline. Adding them here.
Updated based on everyone's helpful answers:
Saphne: May 1813
Kanthony: May 1814
Benophie: June 1817
Polin: May 1824
Philloise: June 1824
Jonchesca: Early 1818 (Based on TV Show). & Francheal: May 1824
Hyareth: Jul 1825
Grucy: Jul 1827
Francesca was about 70% sure that pen was Whistledown. She really looked up to her as a kid because she noticed how observant and witty she actually was, and so she wanted to be like her when she grew up
For lady Danbury’s 90th birthday present Hyacinth attempted to write her own version of “Miss Butterworth and the mad Baron” …it was terrible, but Lady Danbury retains that it is her all time favourite book
After Eloise the best shots are Michael, Kate and Simon as they all had experience on what they proudly call ‘REAL hunts’ when in India.
After that it’s Phillip then surprisingly Sophie (Eloise taught her) she says it’s because she has steady hands after so many years of work
When hyacinth was pregnant for the first time Gareth reached out to both Phillip and Simon to ask for advice on how to not be like you father
Kate favourite Bridgerton in-law is Lucy. She loves all of them, she really does, but there is just something about Lucy that she feels so fond of.
Hyacinth called Anthony dad when she was really young and he cried for two days. He still gets teary when he thinks about it now.
When Eloise and Penelope were about 5 months pregnant they both got really emotional about missing each other and so polin went to stay at Romney hall for a month.
Colin claims that it was the most stressful month of his life. NOTHING is scarier or more irritable than a pregnant Eloise. And as it turns out his wife does NOT take his side when he eats the last of the Jam Francesca sent from Scotland that Eloise had been craving.
When they were younger violet walked in on Daphne washing Eloise’s hair with orange juice because Benedict told her it would make her hair the same colour as Penelope’s and she wanted to make pen feel better about her hair
Phillip is flirted with constantly at balls but the man is so socially in-adept that he doesn’t notice. Eloise however does notice.
Hyacinth casually mentioned the whole breaking and entering while trying to steal very expensive jewels from a baron during afternoon tea and Anthony grips he teacup so hard it shatters (he swears that is the closest he has ever come to a heart attack) violet was honestly unfazed
When Edmund was a toddler he tried to sit on Newton constantly. Newton was actually very chill about it as he adored the kid
Gregory had heard about how Michael made all of the woman swoon and was not looking forward to him meeting Lucy. Only for her to be totally unaffected and ‘not get the big deal’….She did however get quite flustered meeting Simon for the first time.
Unlike most people Anthony enjoys getting older it makes him happy to have been proved wrong and know that he won’t be leaving his family too soon
Simon and Daphne ~ you are in love
Kate and Anthony ~ the way I loved you
Benedict and Sophie ~ paper rings
Penelope and Colin ~ you belong with me
Eloise and Phillip ~ willow
Francesca and Michael ~ don’t blame me
Hyacinth and Gareth ~ getaway car
Gregory and Lucy ~ speak now
my PERSONAL ranking of the bridgerton books

(i would also like to just say that i love ALL of the books)
best friend squad shenanigans

Happy birthday king👑

imagine ellie being in class, dressed all in black, with her tattoo on display, lots of rings on her fingers and writing stuff down on her notebook with the pinkest, shiniest pen someone have ever seen. it had glitter all over its surface and a pink puff ball attached on the top and everytime she would write something fast the puff ball would agressively move from side to side.
she would receive weird glances from others, but she would just frown at them or turn to them and rasp an angry "what?", scaring the shit out of them. she knew how stupid it looked to others, but she didn't really care because you gave her that pen. it was your favorite one in fact, and she made sure to make good use of it. :((((

Sometimes I kinda wanna introduce Harry James Potter himself to all the Ginny-bashing, Ginny-slut-shaming fanfics, just to see his reaction
tedromeda fanmix
1.Iris || Goo Goo Dolls — [ And I’d give up forever to touch you ‘cause I know that you’ll feel me somehow. You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be and I don’t wanna go home right now. ]
2.Sweater Weather || The Neighbourhood — [ Use the sleeves of my sweater let’s have an adventure. Head in the clouds by my gravity’s centered. Touch my neck and I’ll touch yours, you in those little high- waisted shorts; oh. ]
3.Soul Meets Body|| Death Cab For Cutie — [ And I do believe it’s true that there are roads left in both our shoes. But if the silence takes you I hope it takes me too. So brown eyes I hold you near ‘cause you’re the only song I want to hear, a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere. ]
4. Good Old Fashioned Loverboy || Queen — [ I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things. We can do the tango just for two. I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings, be your Valentino just for you. ]
5. I Will Wait || Mumford & Sons — [ Well I came home, like a stone, and I fell heavy in your arms. These days of dust, which we’ve known, will blow away with this new sun. ]
6. It Will Rain || Bruno Mars — [ If you ever leave me baby, leave some morphine at my door ‘cause it will take a whole lot of medication to realize what we used to have we don’t have it anymore.]
7. Can’t Help Falling In Love || Elvis Presley— [ Wise men say, only fools rush in. But I can’t help falling in love with you. Shall I stay? Would it be a sin if I can’t help falling in love with you? ]
8. And I Love Her || The Beatles — [ I give her all my love, that’s all I do. And if you say my love, you’d love her to. I love her. ]
9. Daydreamer || Adele — [ Daydreamer, sitting on the sea, soaking up the sun he is a real lover of making up the past and feeling up his girl like he’s never felt her figure before. ]
10. If I Knew || Bruno Mars — [ Oh baby please let’s leave the past behind us, behind us. So that we can go where love where find us, yeah will find us. I know must girls would leave me but I know that you believe me. ]
Chapter 1 of Ruin Never Sounded So Wonderful, a Remus/Sirius and Andromeda/Ted fic centering on Sirius and Andromeda, is up!
In the midst of the first wizarding war, Bellatrix Lestrange is wreaking havoc with her cursed knife. It’s up to Sirius and Andromeda to stop her. A standalone story set in 1977.
ao3 link
My fic, I Awaken With Your Name is now complete on AO3! (Content warnings in chapter notes)
It’s a 190K slow burn Andromeda/Ted fic, with long build-up of friendship and a gradual slide into sex & romance
It centres a morally ambiguous heroine who is absolutely determined to get what she wants while also being hurt and fragile and hoping not to be destroyed by the world
It deals with Andromeda’s previous moral culpability as an accessory to Bellatrix’s cruelty and Lucius’ bigotry, and the necessity of a political consciousness
(What matters most: intentions, actions, or consequences?)
Everyone has trauma; Ted brings his own emotional baggage to the table
Explores Andromeda’s co-dependent and eventually toxic friendship/courtship with Lucius, her childhood friend
the question is, who will escape familial cycles of abuse and power, and who won’t
Ted tries not to let pureblood supremacy wear him down but the going gets tough
Andromeda finds friends not just love
There’s cute Andromeda and Sirius shenanigans
and less cute shenanigans between Bellatrix and Andromeda – it’s hard being Bella’s favourite sister
(Narcissa is perceptive, perhaps too perceptive)
Also wartime intrigue involving Moody, Dumbledore & Slughorn
How do Andromeda and Ted find each other and find hope during times of darkness?
i think that’s about it. (the fic took me 10 months to write, fml.) still having Andromeda/Ted feelings in the year 2022 ♥️
