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??.?
