Period Drama Appreciation Week 2024: Day 2 - Favourite Character(s)

The lead cast of Harlots on Hulu.

[thestagthatlovedthewolf]

I finished Harlots, and I want more!!! I haven't watched a show this fast in a long time, I was just very immersed - and I've now added a few books to my list!!! - the setting and the life of these people were so interesting, and I really liked the different classes!!!

I really LOVED a few characters here, Violet and Betsey were great and I liked them working outside of a house, but with the support of Nancy still, I really Amelia Scanwell, and I think they did an incredible job with her mother in s2!!! And then still character, but also shipping house, Will and Margaret got me immediately - I LOVE strong marriages/relationships at the center of a show, and I love blended families and the love Will has for Charlotte and Lucy was beautiful to see (also little Jacob is a star character in this show, I love him so much, he's such a good kid!!!!) - and then Nancy and Margaret, this love and trust and history with each other, how they are also partners, and this understanding of each other... and in this triangle you also have a really good Will and Nancy dynamic, this care and friendship that is beautiful to see!!!

Still with characters, I really like how season 2 and 3 brought you a different side of the justice, and you have these people who want to fulfil the law, but also learning that the law is not everything. Now I don't particularly like that s3 left so many characters behind, and having no idea where they went - you had lost Betsey before but you do learn what happens, not here - so it feels like a completely new show, which I wasn't ready for...

Continuing with season 3 thoughts, it was a bit of a let down after the first two... it wasn't the same, it still did interesting things... but the biggest thing is I feel that the ending wasn't satisfying (it's not a bad ending, but it does not leave you satisfied) - and this starts with Margaret Wells leaving!!! I don't mind the introduction of Jonas - I like him - but the leaving with nothing to come after, feels empty, I'm here waiting (and even more than at the end of s2 - that felt like a more satisfying goodbye)... and then it also feels the pairing up of Will and Nancy (with their own respectively women) feels like a bad choice, the pairings work and make sense, but I feel they implied too hard to make the audience forget Margaret was sent away in an unsatisfying matter!!!

I'll now come back to better things, season 1 and 2 were really good with more of a focused in the two factions, but also with always the side reality of the courtesan with the Wells sisters!!! The show also does a really good job mixing up the dynamics and pairings with the characters and keeping important relationships but bringing new ones as well - Will and Harriet was one I really liked, bc there's this understanding between them of being black but also raising biracial kids in that world, and then Nancy with all the girls!!!

Still on characters, Emily Lacey has such a good arc, she was never a favorite, but she was someone you wanted to see and follow, always planning and preparing!!! I also like, that just like with the justice becoming better, they also give us some culls that we don't mind seeing - my favorite is Fanny's favorite, and the line of coming to her because she reminds him of how his wife was hit well!!!

Really this is a good show, with good characters and setting, that got me crying for at least two episodes - I was especially a mess during 2x07!!! And I've now read all the Will and Margaret fic on ao3, but I'm following to check the Margaret and Nancy ones!!! Definitely recommending this show!!!

Drawing all the recent comic pages with Demeter and Hekate made me think of Margaret Wells and Nancy Birch from Harlots. They gave me big Demeter and Hekate vibes. Funnily enough, one of the plot lines of the first two seasons was actually loosely based on the Persephone myth.

I was very fond of Margaret, but Nancy was probably my favorite. Her clothes were absolutely fab.

hi!! could you do C6 as daisy? :)

This one really challenged me 😅 but I had a lot of fun and decided to do a modern AU Daisy

Personally, I headcanon Daisy as dressing quite prep in my modern AUs, because she's still masking. The one exception is her double piercing, which came about when Uncle Felix got her ears pierced in secret, which they both hid when Margaret decided to take Daisy to get her ears pierced the day after. Lady Hastings being oblivious as usual, she didn't notice that Daisy had 2 piercings in her ear until fhey got home

Harlots Review

This show has three seasons. I fell in love with the characters in season 1 and fell out of love by the beginning of season 3.

Season 1 and 2 were nice and fun.

Season 3 was a mess and suffered from an idiot plot.

This show was created, written, produced by women, and you can feel it. Let's have more of those.

Charlotte Wells, you are legend.

[princelydisaster]

not a fan of the “Charles and Charlotte are secretly biologically related” headcanon myself

but I indulge in the “Charles and Charlotte were kind of raised together at some point and Lydia would’ve dressed them in matching outfits and stuff” headcanon bc it’s cute and twisted and she’d eat that shit UP

I think Lydia probably suggested the name Charlotte anyway, and she would’ve been super nice to Margaret while she’s pregnant as a way to throw her off. Like calm before the storm.

And raising Charlotte kind of like her own in order to use her as leverage in case Margaret and Nancy were going against her.

Or all else fails, Margaret leaves the house with a little baby Charlotte who misses it, her “brother” but not quite, and old Miss Lydia comforting her.

(I do think Lydia is capable of love and genuinely loved or felt motherly affection for Charlotte… but that’s obviously not mutually exclusive with her desire to control everyone in her circle.)

I’m not done with Peaky Blinders yet but I’m feeling a strong urge to write a Peaky Blinders x Harlots crossover where Tommy’s foothold is London isn’t just held up by his tenuous relationship with Alfie but by his bond to the house of Margaret Wells, who is an old friend of Polly’s.

I personally think it is categorically hilarious that Buck is seemingly gonna rock up to his sisters wedding with a boyfriend having not told his parents of this development in his life.

It is peak trolling payback to drop that bomb on them in an environment where they have to play nice after all they’ve done to him. This is baby box the revenge and I am here for it

i could fix her though...

[hawkeyeslaughter]

love that henry blake is genuinely just a normal guy . weirdest thing about him is that he’s obsessed with fishing and that isn’t even remotely as bizarre as anything hawkeye and trapper got going on at any given moment . he’s just some guy from illinois in a camp of people who are bonkers and he’s so fucking funny for it
