In this regency universe, I am definitely Eloise I don’t want marriage nor do I care about some of the antiquated traditions of society. I want a career, independence, chocolate (I don’t like sharing food either but with the pandemic, it’s sensible isn’t it? ) I would so also be the one who would endeavor to uncover Lady Whistledown’s identity. I sincerely hope the show explores the fact that not all women want marriage and children, that having a vocation/career is an equally complete and whole life for a woman. There honestly aren’t enough representations for this type of character anywhere.
Happy Valentines’ Day! I hope today celebrates love in all forms, not just romantic love, but even friendships, and familial, human, empathetic, and SELF love. I don’t want to hear any bs about “singles awareness day” as though being single (as I am!) is somehow shameful or abnormal. Remember to celebrate the good stuff, but also be aware of the stuff about this day that’s primarily for commercial gain (I.e. sales of flowers and chocolates?), or that perpetuates unrealistic & unhealthy expectations of love and relationships
