Editor’s Note: There is no byline on this review due to how, in 2019 when Paste reviewed ‘Lover,’ the writer was sent threats of violence from readers who disagreed with the work. We care more about the safety of our staff than a name attached to an article.
this is bridgerton discourse but also in general: if you're in love with a friend and they just love you platonically and suddenly they start liking you back I don't think they have to say sorry, beg and cry for you because not liking someone is not morally reprehensible
@matildae22
also so insidious that most of the sunscreen recommendation is at the end of the day not for protection against sun damage but just "so you don't end up looking like an old hag"
@holdenfordfocus
"how to cut off toxic people from your life" and then there's like five other books in that series for other toxic stuff that you should cut off
for once, I don't think anyone is saying that. she's playing mostly teenagers and people in their early 20s so yeah it is surprising that she is 37, but no one is calling her an "old hag"
The Emma Stone hate campaign is one of the strangest and most unexpected things to come from this Oscar season. I think Stone, Hüller, Mulligan, and Gladstone are all Oscar worthy, but the anti-Stone hate filled agenda is getting out of hand.
very funny to me that a lot of the complaints for ttpd are that there's too much lore and mythology and yet you know it all as a professional music reviewer? like this is just telling me that you're too online mayhaps
like I'm sorry but... I understand that colin did say something hurtful when he said "oh you're just my friend pen, you don't count that way" but it is not the worst thing ever ?? to be valued as a friend is no small feat, in my opinion
just in general I don't like when romances create a huge imbalance between the characters so there's some kind of debt and guilt that will be difficult to honestly desentangle
@jaceysjiara
they did my girl so dirty in the show bc how the fuck would she know this hahaha (in the books she's just talking about people's dresses and such)
I have already been accused of harassment/supporting so I'll try my best to be clear:
the article got a lot of outrage/backlash because it makes some stupid points
and regardless of this I obviously don't endorse the harassment and/or threats made to the author 🫶🏼😊

have been saying (I give this info no credibility bc it comes from a swiftie) that her ex was a swiftie so this is altogether very funny
i love how book!lady danbury really likes penelope and doesn't care about her being a wallflower or anything - she really sees her wit and intelligence and that makes pen feel SEEN !!
he did say that the decision to remove people for wearing keffiyehs wasn't his but the venue's and issued a personal apology for that even happening. but yeah his first statement was bleak as fuck
the historic occupation of Jerusalem) and Butchered Tongue which was about Indigenous relations to land & language like??? Naw I need more. He also still hasn’t made a statement abt keffiyehs being confiscated at his shows. And pls know I’m his biggest fuckin fan so
@jailedamanda
the op saying he Hijacked her profile by ??? saying that he wanted to say nice things in written form and the writer mentioning he's in a Broadway show lol like it's his fault
“Even Kate got a namesake!”
“Kate was rather instrumental in our falling in love,” Gregory reminded her. “Whereas you attacked Lucy at the church.”
greg making it sound like hyacinth punched lucy in the face or sm 😭😭
she would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head or the inner turmoil of our kate sharma when anthony first proposed
a short one-shot, hope you like it!
pen saying "I never asked you to marry me" and making a LOGICAL argument out of it wow girl 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I WOULD HAVE DIED OF EMBARRASSMENT IF I WAS ANY OF THE BRIDGERTON BROTHERS THERE
