I’ve never grown attached to two characters faster than Jase Conolly and Judith “Natalie” Ford. This musical podcast is amazing and set a high bar for future musical podcasts. Friggin love films/stories with literally only two present characters just interacting and that’s it.

it’s not even the finale yet. I am not mentally prepared for next Saturday. @ fellow owl house fans: let us brace ourselves

“darlin’, i’d wait for you, even if you didn’t ask me to”

soft benophie from a while back. slightly angsty if you squint.

i genuinely needed to hear this.

as much as i am passionately frustrated at the choices made, it’s honestly exhausting and slightly irrational to dwell on things that bring me misery. it just unnecessarily drains my energy.

but a shift in perspective is immensely helpful, so thank you @lookingfts for sharing your thoughts and keeping me grounded.

This will probably be the only "rant" I do following season 3, but it's something I've been thinking about all day, just seeing some of the comments here on Tumblr. You may disagree with me - that's alright.

I do not and have never agreed with the stance that the show "hates" Kanthony or that the showrunners are against the characters or the actors. You may believe that if you wish; I simply think it makes no sense for the showrunners to actively sabotage their own work, and Jonathan and Simone have clearly launched into thriving careers.

What I really want to say is: we, as the fans, do not own the characters. I, as a fic writer, do not own the characters. To say that the people in charge of canon do not "understand" the characters is very odd to me. They literally define the characters. You may think they write the characters inconsistently, which is reasonable, but ultimately, the show's writers (and Julia Quinn, if you're looking at book canon) are the ones who say what the character is or isn't, what they do or don't do. Whether you agree with their choices or not, those people on screen ARE the characters.

As fans, we borrow the characters. We create different versions of them in our heads and explore them in different contexts. We create headcanons. And it seems to me that a lot of the frustration about S3 comes down to unfulfilled headcanons. The show is under no obligation to show us certain scenes - it's entitlement to think otherwise.

I've gotten quite a few comments on fics with some variation of "you care about the characters more than the show does!" There are a MILLION reasons why that might ring true. One being that I only care about Kanthony and don't concern myself with any of the other characters, which the show is not able to do. Another being that I don't have to take into account actors' schedules, production logistics, budgets or any other of a billion considerations for the show itself. A third being that I can write from the character's POVs and get into their heads, which is also not an option in TV.

It's fine to get disappointed that something you wanted to see wasn't included. I have scenes I would have loved to see. But my personal wishes not being met are not the fault of the show.

It's fine to say that Bridgerton has less-than-stellar writing. I would argue that it always has, and if you are still shocked by that after season 3, no you're not.

It's fine to want more of the characters you love. But be reasonable about all of the logistics that might have been behind certain decisions, and do not confuse what you have built up in your head as the only "right" way to tell the story (there's no such thing).

And for the love of Tumblr - if you say you're done with the show or you're going to leave the fandom, just do it. Don't drag on the misery.

can you believe S3 part 2 comes out in 3 days?…

i didn’t think i would make it.

thankfully, i have something to occupy my time.

slowly…but surely, progress is being made 🥲 i really hope I can get this done before part 2 drops.

and Anthony Bridgerton is truly a lucky man✨

colin: if i had a nickel every time i got engaged to someone i loved who was hiding this HUGE SCANDALOUS SECRET that would have negative and damaging repercussions on me and my family, i would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s funny that it happened twice.

assuming that “Emily” is actually Sophie, ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I WON????? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I WON HAVING AN EAST ASIAN SOPHIE???? ARE YOU TELLING ME IM GETTING THE REPRESENTATION I’VE BEEN BEGGING FOR????

it’s too soon to tell, but i will hold onto this huge piece of hope for as long as i can.

Peter loves to listen MJ rant about society, but he loves to kiss her even more 🥺🥰

Did I just animate something based off of two lines of lyrics? Yes. Was it worth it? Eh, this is as far as I’ll go for the time being. (This is a WIP that I may refine later down the line)

trying something new.

i’ve always wanted to make personal comics and share them, but always got to overwhelmed because i always over do it and then never share it cuz it’s unfinished.

fuck that, here’s a scrappy lil personal comic about my weekend. ofc there’s more too it, but this will suffice for now and if I don’t put it out there, I might not ever.

maybe I’ll go back to it, maybe I won’t. Tbh, I’m only sharing it here because nobody I know follows me here (except like 3 people) so hopefully…there won’t be any questions…

yippee that was fun, back to work now 🥲
