#I've been saying for a while I few it as an allergory for addiction because of how similar the beats are

If you're saying how Penelope needs to keep Whistledown, or how her giving it up harms the story, you may not understand the character I fear.
#bridgerton#penelope featherington#like I'm sorry did we miss how all her emotions have been on the page early this season because she felt it was all she had left?#how she very clearly doesn't view this as her purpose?#how she keeps hurting people she loves and cares for and is wracked with guilt each time to fhe point of quitting at one point?#Whistledown is harmful for Penelope its *not* healthy#I've been saying for a while I few it as an allergory for addiction because of how similar the beats are#everyone talks abouthow like Portia she is in Whistledown but the nature of it is very like her father#something that hurts her and everyone around her; smething that started innocent enough and has spiraled outof control#something she wants to give up but keeps coming back to or finding reasons why she shouldn't#I'm aorry but if you think this is her purpose that this will continue to bring her joy when she could use her skills for anything else#like...idk WRITING A BOOK? Like she does in the books?#you are wearing blinder to certain aspects of her character#but fr where did this narrative that Pen gives it up and then is just a fucking housewife come from?? thats not how that goes??#who lied to you?? she still writes just something that makes her actually happy??.?
