“Captain James leaned back against the wall, crossing his arms in a most satisfied manner. There was something supremely masculine about him as he regarded her,”

Okay. I know it’s pride month. And I know this is stockholm syndrome. But lord. I would’ve folded so easily

“‘My dear Miss Bridgerton,’ he murmured, ‘would you like to join me on deck?’”

I’M SWOOOOONING SKJDJSKFJWKZJSNDNWJS

“He’d never liked expressionless females. Hell, he’d never liked expressionless males either, and Lord knew he’d met enough of those when he was out in society. Andrew had never understood why it was so fashionable to appear bored.
Disinterested equaled disinteresting.”

Good to know that nonchalance was frowned upon in 1786 too

bridgerton & pirates!

“he’s such a cobweb, a pinch would annihilate him” LMAOOO

Edgar linton saying “I am going to her,” about his dead wife, to his daughter, while he’s also actively dying? the most romantic line in this book.

justice for edgar linton!!!

Linton heathcliff is a whiny brat and not in the good way

His vibe is like one of those crusty white dogs who are always infected with something and never stop barking

“He dreams of you day and night, and cannot be persuaded that you don’t hate him, since you neither write nor call.”

How I want guys to behave after I ghost them

This family dynamic is so messy I have to look over their family tree every other page to make sure I’m reading things correctly

“Earnshaw has his countenance completely averted from his companion. He seemed studying the familiar landscape with a stranger’s and an artist’s interest.
Catherine took a sly look at him, expressing small admiration. She then turned her attention to seeking out objects of amusement for herself, and tripped merrily on, lilting a tune to supply the lack of conversation.”

Cutest couple in the book so far

okay I’ve shat on this book but this?

“You said I killed you—haunt me then! […] Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only *do* not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”

this is kinda romantic ngl

emily brontë’s quill was on fire when she wrote “I forgive what you have done to me. I love *my* murderer”

“Heathcliff had knelt on one knee to embrace [Cathy]; he attempted to rise, but she seized his hair, and kept him down.”

Okay queen keep him on his knees

when I say I like chalant men, I and NEVER talking about heathcliff

wtf is wrong with heathcliff

(re: hanging isabella’s dog, telling her he’d hang everybody she knows, and then calling her a bitch in the same sentence)

Calling someone’s heart a horsetrough is crazy

Isabella is a dumbass for having interest in heathcliff

catherine is a bitch for revealing those feelings to him

heathcliff is an asshole for pursuing isabella in order to get to her brother’s money

and nelly is a manipulative piece of shit for narrating the story like this

Girl… your husband is sick and you’re blabbering on about heathcliff’s return in the middle of the night… and when he starts crying you get up and leave him alone???

Bruh. male povs (and men in general) written by women is the reason I hate men irl lmfao bc how do you even compare this therapy-attending (!!!) emotionally intelligent (!!!) good with children (!!!) sensitive (!!!) thoughtful (!!!) considerate (!!!) character to anybody real???

toronto mans??? guys on hinge??? I’m gonna punch them in the face

“Goddamn” takes me out of the plot SO FAST…

please please please call it something else!!! anything else but the capital G “Goddamn” 😭😭😭

OKAY ANNA GET YOUR MONEY GIRL

Oop he ran away

At this point idk if I hate cathy bc she’s a brat or bc nelly is an unreliable narrator and she’s actually the one who hates cathy

What a singular experience, to leave a book at work and come back a week later to find its spine cracked and SOMEONE ELSE’S ANNOTATIONS WRITTEN THROUGHOUT IT (albeit on scrap pieces of paper stuck between the pages)

It would’ve annoyed me if it were any other book but. for this copy that I paid $5 for, its only purpose being written in, highlighted, and thrown around? I guess it’s funny?

Phillip is PISSING ME TF OFF.

if you don’t know how to work out your emotions GO TO THERAPY. if you need someone to look after your children HIRE A GOVERNESS. DON’T ASSUME THE WOMAN YOU’RE COURTING WILL SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS.

Eloise I’m so sorry girl… miss julia quinn did u dirty (theo superiority!!!)

rereading bc I was hoping for eloise for S5…

I don’t think they gave francesca enough time to mourn like okay f john I guess… they just buried him but it’s time to move on!

(I am excited to see scotland in bridgerton’s cinematography!!!)

There’s way too much use of “ejaculating” for my comfort

so… lockwood is a dumbass.

he longs after this fascinating “goddess” in secret, and when she finally looks at him (bless her), he kept glaring at her “icily”, which led her to beg her mom to take her away… and gave him the undeserved “reputation of deliberate heartlessness”???

very darcy coded… pathetic and dumb asf

I’m entering my performative era ✨

reading dorian gray, followed by wuthering heights? in public? (pls also note I’ve purchased three (3!) of shakespeare’s plays as well to slowly and painfully consume after I butcher my understanding of wuthering heights.) thank you!

my only gripe about the copy I purchased is that there are basically no margins 😭 how am I supposed to annotate plsss

I KNEW IT WAS JAMES goddamn it. The rich get richer
