Don’t forget about the best thing that happened in the Bridgerton Season 3 finale.
Sure, we got the queerness that we well, some of us had been pining for.
Penelopes arc doesnt exist in a vacuum.

Her most venomous barbs recall gossip writers of not only Regency England but of the past two decades.
I did it, once, when I got my first job writing for Out Magazine.
But can I say the same for other writer-outsiders?
Gossip pamphlets, like the ones Penelope distributed throughout Mayfair, were very popular in the Regency era.
And what about the Penelopes of the Internet age the Just Jareds and Perez Hiltons of the world?
So, have any of these bitter scribes owned up to their hurtful words?
Thats not for me to say.
Shes more responsible for her words and actions now.
Shes out to create, not dissect.
Shes seeing the world through a clearer, more objective lens, and making unadulterated art.
And Mayfair is all the better for it.
