this fic breaking my heart rn bc this is litchrally my whole beef with the romanticization of the sharma family dynamic at the end and nobody ever gets into it. idgaf if it was bad writing. they could’ve at least acknowledged there was a problem (LIKE they did for anthony and violet). literally a whole season of kate being neglected in 4k and then when she breaks down, just turning around and being like actually she was Imagining all of that bc SHE was insecure about not being mary’s. I Should Kill Youse .

i am still contemplating to check bridgerton for kanthony or not but from what i've seen i got an impression that a lot of kate's brainworms came from her step mother NOT treating her as real daughter. kate can't see it but as viewer it's obvious. we can joke about how annoying mrs bennet was but let's be real at that period among nobility lady mother not bothering to help her daughter to find a husband and being okay for her to be a spinster is a form of parental neglect. it was rather convenient for step mother to take kate's devotion for granted and ignore how kate neglected her own needs in process for her bio daughter. wish show actually was aware of this.

not even getting into any of the implications of the regency setting. it’s the fact that mary was gonna stay with edwina after she got married instead of kate LIKE ?! even working under the good faith interpretation that kate didn’t wanna get married and mary didn’t wanna force her. and it wasn’t straight up neglect. mary was gonna go stay with the daughter who would be MARRIED and TAKEN CARE OF with her OWN FAMILY and OWN HOME and not the daughter who would literally have NOTHING ? ? and has nothing BECAUSE of how she always prioritized you over herself?

litchrally the scene when anthonys like “so you’ll abandon her (about edwina)” and kate explicitly say “she’ll be married she won’t need me anymore” but the plot never delves into the flip side despite her being the MAIN character. how kate WOULDNT be married according to that plan and mary would ACTUALLY be abandoning her ?!

it was so lazy the way they just didn’t go into the dysfunction of the sharma family dynamic like they did for anthony and violet. even JUST an acknowledgment from mary that she didn’t always treat kate fairly instead of the gaslighting they were doing to kate AND the audience like. gorgeous scene, beautiful scene! when mary tells kate she always loved her. but IN CONTEXT? it was like…i just watched 8 straight eps of kate getting neglected in 4k. and 5 minutes ago your plan was to abandon her at the first opportunity that presented itself. im gonna actually need you to do a little better than this

just finished bridgerton s2 and i'm sooo baffled by how kate's family treated her bc i saw all these posts like aw 🥺🥺 mary loved her just as much as she loved her biological daughter 🥺🥺 and it's like no she absolutely did not lmfaooo. and also yeah edwina had very valid reasons to be upset it's not easy to be a lesbian in the 1800s but cmon man 😭😭 after EVERYTHING kate's done for them while expecting literally nothing in return you'd think she would get an apology but no ?? somehow it's all her fault ?? don't even get me started on lady danbury her dynamic with kate could've been so great but she was pissing me OFF

dont get me started...............

i think one thing that bridgerton s2 does well is establish why kate and anthony gravitate to each other. so many romance stories flop because they cant convince you what the deal is but bridgerton is like well they are both eldest siblings they are both patronizing and overbearing they are both control freak know it alls. put them in a jar lock them in a room. haha

like here are two characters who are dead set on denying themselves everything they want for the sake of duty and propriety haha what do you think would happen if they meet and want each other. and the answer is fingers in his mouth wednesday (crowd cheering)

sorry sorry but i also like how the source of their self denial & fixation on duty is similar but not identical — kate feels indebted to her mother for treating her like a “real” daughter and so feels like she owes both her and edwina total devotion at the cost of her own happiness, whereas anthony thinks the best way to avoid subjecting others and himself to the inevitable grief that is the price of loving people is to merely like them instead of love them. & they both suddenly lose a (loving) father and have to support their mother through their grief but he takes it as “ok ill just never love my partner then” and she takes it as “ok ill just never have a partner then.” i love romance when its good?
