At this point it’s literally a record of all my hyperfixations

this isn’t a tumblr account, this is a historical record of how insane I am

I’m obsessed with these two idiots and this dumb show

And this has proven my point months ago about how this production treats its poc cast and characters and doesn’t deserve them. I’m so done with dumb show….

If Kate won’t be back and it’s not by the choice of Simone, that’ll be one of the dumbest shits I’ve ever heard.

I don’t want some new side plots that won’t even make sense. I want the Viscountess Bridgerton fuckers.

The biggest difference between Kate Sheffield and Kate Sharma is that I am Kate Sheffield, but I want to be Kate Sharma

Again, I love love love season two of bridgerton and, of course, the incomparable Simone Ashley as Kate, but the viscount who loved me is a far superior story to me because Kate Sheffield truly is a menace. Like, Kate Sharma is endlessly beautiful and pretty well perfect, and yeah, she and Anthony argue a lot, but end of the day she's basically exquisite.

Kate Sheffield is a little unhinged?! Like, this girl cannot control her dog, she wears funny little hats, she's only 21 so she's pretty naive compared to Kate Sharma and don't even get me started on the time she hides under Anthony's desk while he's with his former mistress in his office (pre-marriage and engagement, mind you, my boy would never). The Viscount who loved me is the star quarterback falling in love with a person from the marching band, but not, like, someone good at marching band? Kate Sheffield is the last chair flute; she joined because her friends were doing it and she wanted to try something new. Anthony calls her a menace a lot in the book, and usually i think it's funny and kind of mean, but like, he's not wrong. Kate Sheffield is a little bit insane and I love her so much for it.

MR. BEAUFORT WHEN I SEE YOU IT'S ON FUCKING SITE BITCH.

I don’t like how this show treats its poc actors/characters. For a show that’s so much about “diversity” and for women, how come there’s only one female poc lead so far and she was sidelined in her own season, and even now can’t get a proper storyline. Also do not get me started on how it diminishes female trauma/stories to service the male leads or tick boxes. Just showing women having sexual agency isn’t enough. Write female characters with their full depth. I’m just tired with the way Kate/Simone Ashley is being treated and I can’t be bothered putting my energy into this show.

Also I love Jonathan Bailey with my whole heart and will watch anything that he’s in. However, I hate this fandom’s treatment of Rege Jean Page. The man had full right to leave the show, he would do himself a disservice by being on it. Stop the whole “Jonny is still on the show and is booked and busy, while Rege still isn’t when he left the show for that reason”, yes and? He left because he felt that was right for his career, and at the end of the day Jonny is a white man and Rege is not, if the world treats them differently, you really think production companies won’t. Look at how Bridgerton treats its fucking poc characters and how the fandom treats them too. They was so much hate being spewed at Charithra and Simone by the “fans” during season 2 it was disgusting. And now at Masali for the genderbend.

Yes I’m not very happy with the fact we won’t get Francesca’s story in its full authenticity. Especially when the book deals with her having infertility issues and how she copes with it. But the fandom is acting as if Masali is responsible for this. LGBT romance stories are needed and are important and gender bending Michael is not the be all end all. But I have no expectations from this show to deliver. I mean they did away with the whole pining of Michael/a because in the show it looks like Francesca falls first. Which takes away from the premise of WHWW because Francesca was in love with John and a huge part of the story is her being able to allow herself to love Michael/a. The way this show could not handle a simple love story with Colin and Penelope, I genuinely have no trust in them being able to deal with a lesbian love story and where one lead is dealing with the grief of widowhood and infertility.

I think this show is ticking boxes at this point, delivering the bare minimum and then expecting everyone to be happy with it. And it’s becoming more and more clear to me that the only people who have bothered to read the books are the actors themselves, because the show runners look like they just read the titles of the books and ran with it.

Polin���s story was told even worse than how Kanthony’s story was told and that’s saying something. The aesthetics were so off this season and rather than Benedict having something useful to do the man was just there being the town bike (something he’s done for the past 2 seasons), why was my man not painting is beyond me.

When the show runner had said that kanthony are now a boring married couple that told me everything I needed to know. As if married couples don’t have challenges. Also sending them away for the worst reasons was so out of character, like just read fucking fanfiction and adapt that at this point. There was so much to explore with them and they didn’t so yeah I’m quite done.

I’m going to treat the show as some fucked up parallel universe to the books, because yes the book characters are problematic but at least their stories are told properly and every couple gets their due.

A good-bye or perhaps a brief pause to the bee show?

Being a Kanthony fan is hard right now. Not only the way they were sidelined, but also because they are the only couple without an onscreen wedding or baby. It feels almost deliberate, petty even while the show continues to milk their popularity for views...

I was, anyways, not very invested in this season, and now all my desire to watch future seasons has just fizzled out. I love the people in this fandom, they have fed all of us with great content. Unfortunately, I only have negative things to say right now. I don't have anything positive to contribute, so maybe it's time to bow out, well for some time at least. I will lurk in the fandom and maybe catch up on some of the amazing stories by writers a million times more talented than the show's.
