“darlin’, I’d Wait For You, Even If You Didn’t Ask Me To”

“Our child will always be a Bridgerton, but I should like them to know they are a Sharma as well” 💜🩵

the way this line lives in my mind rent free, like you don’t understand; the weight, the sentiments, the implications, in this essay i will—

ANYWAYS, i really hope to see baby Edmund in S4 👀

nothing hurts more than seeing the reason you stayed leave.

and the worst part is that it’s not actually that important so your pain feels stupid and childish.

i feel for all the saphne fans. it seems we might be in a similar boat.

As the first kanthony AU that hooked me, I am very excited to see the whole story :)

me to me: oi! why don’t you finish that animatic you’re so close to completing so you can feel a sense of accomplishment and feel good about yourself—

also me: BUT THE PARASITES WANT ME TO MAKE AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE ROBBED SCENE OF KANTHONY ANNOUNCING THEIR PREGNANCY TO THE FAMILY

the peril that is capital W-I-P-S 😭😭😭 i stg, there is more from where this comes from (a storyboard file with a ton of kanthony doodles that i want to turn into something more)

anyways, almost there with the animatic. about…85% done I’d say. 🤞I get it done and out very soon (please, please, please)

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.

bruh imagine MJ clutching the necklace when she needs comfort but not knowing why she has it or why it makes her feel safe 🥺😭😭😭

I always thought they would be an adorable couple. Thanks for confirming it for me tumblr :)

morning kisses😚💕

post-valentines day bonus. enjoy~😘

to make matters even more insane (maybe even worse) is that the first time either one of them said the other’s given name was during a time of distress…

that will need to change please

You know what’s insane to think about?

On screen Kate has called Anthony “Anthony” twice.

And he’s called her Kate twice as well.

Happy birthday to my favorite Bridgerton brother :)))

i can’t wait to find out it’s your season next 👀🤞
