Mr. Darcy: Mr. Collins said “You never want to let a woman see you too eager to please her. Gives her too much power”.

Elizabeth Bennet: Really. And what did you have to say to that?

Mr. Darcy: I said I was completely under your power and happy to be there.

i’ve seen so many negative reviews of Bridgerton concerning it’s ‘forced diversity’. Which is what one would take away from it if you only watched the first 10 minutesIf you stopped to watch the whole thing, you’d see it’s anything but forced. 

Consider our historical context here:

Around the time the story takes place, the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade would’ve been nearing it’s end, with debates over slavery in England reaching their peak. Not to mention, that by this time, India had been colonized.

Many black and brown people began to make their way into English society, and not only the lower factions. While the vast majority of us lived in poverty and cruel conditions, there were some of us who managed to make it out on top. There is documented evidence of our existence in Regency Society. We were simply hidden from the gaze of the world for so long because for so long we have allowed the oppressor to write all of our history. 

Not only that, but Queen Charlotte has long been rumored  to have been biracial, coming from the Black Branch of the Portuguese Royal Family. Therefore, having a black Queen Charlotte might’ve been more historically accurate than having a paper white one

Therefore, on all counts, the diversity in Bridgerton cannot be considered forced, but rather, long over due. We have always, and always will be, part of your history, whether the delicate sensibilities of white conservatives can handle it or not. And every time a black/brown creative makes it to a place of power, a place like Bridgerton created, we come a little bit further out of the wings and into the limelight. This very sentiment is reflected in arguably one of the most poignant scenes in Bridgerton: (minor spoilers)

When Duke Simon and Lady Danbury are discussing love, Lady Danbury comments on just how they got to their position. She tells Simon that thanks to the love between one of their own, Queen Charlotte, and the King, they were given an opportunity to rise.

(side note: while this is very important historically and plot-wise, it was also very refreshing to witness. very often in stories of romance and drama, the struggles of poc are sidelined in favor of a more frivolous tone. Bridgerton addresses it head on, in a realistic way) But, by having a person who looked, spoke, and lived like them in a place of power, they were able to come that much closer to living a fully realized life as peers of their white counterparts. Bridgerton manages to not only deliver a sharp commentary on the state of historical revisionism and the state of inclusion in society, but also describe their own experience. Bridgerton’s diversity is far from forced, it is historically accurate, it is relevant (both in our world and theirs), and it adds a level of nuance and depth to their world, that I had not expected from it. It immerses you in it’s world further, and it gives me and other black and brown folks like me a world in which I can finally see myself reflected in the way that our ancestors paved the way for. It is exactly what historical representation should be.

In conclusion: WATCH BRIDGERTON IT IS SO FUCKING GOOD

I think He Tian getting emotional and loosing his composure is my kink ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

Ahhh babiees!! (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)

Guerra de coplas -Jorge Negrete y Pedro infante (Dos tipos de cuidado)

Pedro: La gente dice sincera, cada que se hace un casorio que el novio siempre la quiera, sino que le hagan velorio. Para esta novia no hay pena pues va a tener un buen marido porque Bueno es cosa buena, por lo menos de apellido. Jorge Bueno, es muy bueno, hijo de Bueno también, y su abuelo ¡ay que bueno! ¿quién se llamara como él?

Jorge: Procuraré ser tan bueno como dice mi apellido. Que se trague su veneno el que velorio ha pedido. Pedro es malo de apellido, retachar es su cuarteto. Él nomás es presumido porque no es malo es... maleta. Pedro Malo, es muy malo, malo por obligación. Y su abuelo ¡uy que malo! hay que comprarle su lión.

Pedro: En una mañana de oro, alguien nublaba el paisaje. Eran un cuervo y un loro arrancándose el plumaje. Hay que olvidar lo pasado, si la culpable es la suerte, que bueno y malo mezclado en regular... se convierte. Yo soy Malo, no lo niego, pero quisiera mezclar Malo y Bueno, por si sale algo que sea regular.

Jorge: Cierto alacrán de carroña un colmenar visitaba para ver si la ponzoña con la miel se le quitaba. ¿Cómo no será lo bueno para placer del malvado? Con la miel y su veneno hoy anda el pobre... purgado. Que lo entienda quien lo entienda, si es que lo sabe entender, y si acaso no lo entiende, hay que obligarlo a entender.

Pedro: te consta que no soy tonto, como TÚ... lo has presumido.

Jorge: tonto no, si entrometido por el HAMBRE... de amistades.

Pedro: el hambre siempre la calmo con el manjar del amigo.

Jorge: méndigo es si no mendigo, el que roba a sus amigos.

Pedro: tú lo dices.

Jorge: lo sostengo.

Pedro: no te vayas a cansar.

Jorge: ¡no le saques!

Pedro: ¡si le saco!

Jorge: ¡POS SE ACABÓ ESTE CANTAR!

Snape: well that's your opinion

snape: it’s nice to be wanted, you know?

dumbledore: not by the law.
