oh another thing about "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" s2.01--I love Hattie. I might actually die for her. I hope she and Eliza become the best of friends.
#saw someone else in the tag talking about how this show doesn't work so well for them bc Eliza tends to use people#and it often feels like there's no reciprocity to her relationships--she just demands things to balance out the injustice she faces#and goes on about life as though that's normal and ok#and... yeah she does tend to not think of people's feelings very much. that's definitely a flaw to her.#in fact despite his temper and inability to respect Eliza's POV on things--William is the one who usually showcases more compassion#at least openly#and I really hope that the writers are aware of this quality in Eliza. I hope it's something that she'll come to recognize eventually#and grow out of#/or/ it's a writing/characterization misstep in the first season and will be remedied as the show goes along#but I feel like Hattie in this episode was a good example to the contrary#sure there's some 'business potential' to Eliza inviting her to tea#but I appreciate it nonetheless. and I hope we see more of this kinder side to Eliza going forward.#her strength is in how she listens to them even when no one else will. how her contacts are saloon girls and street boys because she can't#get information through official channels as easily as she can through them. now if she could just carry that over into#personal interactions as well#(though tbh. I will add. Eliza's insensitivity to both social situations and other people's feelings#dooeessss read as a bit neurodivergent at times. and I can definitely appreciate that.#though I think possibly an arc of her learning to be kinder and more caring for people as people and not merely as resources and contacts#would possibly be an even more compelling one if viewed through this lens.)#miss scarlet and the duke#gurt says stuff
