I wanna talk about a heartbreak that happens in season 3.

Can you imagine the high Penelope must have been in when Lord Debling started courting her? Not just because she was finally getting what she wanted (besides Colin, who she had started to give up on at this point): freedom, but also because her mom was impressed and pleased. Her mom was finally “seeing” her. Penelope was now able to make her mom proud. Something she probably thought she would never be able to do. She got more positive interactions with her mother during the courtship than she had ever had before.

For me, one of the most heartbreaking scenes is where Lord Debling breaks things off with Penelope, and her mother says “What have you done?” You can see the hurt in her eyes. She was right, her mom really only cared about her when she had a man’s attention. And that broke me.

ANOTHER LONG POST for the Bridgerton over-analysis corner! SEASON 3 TRAILER & PROMO ANALYSIS

I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING!!

THAT IS VIOLET BRIDGERTON! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST "NON-INTRO" SHOT WITH FRANCESCA!

The first shot of any main character in the entire trailer is this one. Francesca is dancing with a suitor, the camera pushes forward and directs the eye right to Violet who is standing right in the middle, but with an unknown man in front of her.

Oh, I think there are going to be so many parallels between these two this season--especially in terms of romance. They have mostly been seen together or with "suitors" during all these promos and/or in direct comparison/association with one another.

MORE EVIDENCE:

SECOND SHOT of either of them: they are together--and are shown to be equals here, as compared to how Violet was when she presented Daphne or Eloise to the Queen:

Violet, with her other two daughters, was standing BEHIND them! (Also on their right side.) Now she's on the left, standing at Francesca's side--presenting them as equals.

Also, she isn't matching with Francesca like she was Eloise and Daphne--her outfit for this event changed slightly between the first two seasons (take note of the collar and crown), but has now changed dramatically. She at first presented herself as a fellow debutante (take note of the white dress and the gloves), but now is sporting a silver dress with long sleeves with clear grecian influence.

Violet has CHANGED, she isn't a background to or support for her daughter, she is her own person in front of the whole ton. She is also being "presented" in a way, but as this new self.

There is a new Viscountess, more of her children are married and leaving, and (as of Queen Charlotte we know that) she has had a lot of realizations about her marriage and sexuality. The world she knew as Viscountess and wife to Edmund is slowly changing, fading away to something new that she is beginning to embrace.

I think we will see her come more into her own, and not just as a mother or widow--this will be reflected in Francesca, who is going to struggle with finding a relationship that lives up to her mother & father's (and those of her siblings), especially watching her mother finally start to move on.

Right after this sequence is a sequence of Violet and her presumed new love interest, directly associating the two--they are also linked with the narration "what is the primary force that guides us along our paths?" A question I feel will be explored by the both of them.

It seems as if Violet is accepting this new love this season. Francesca, on the other hand, will struggle with romance this season. Every time we have seen her on her own, or with or having just spoken to suitors she seems unsure, worried.

Violet watches her sit at this ball (the Four Seasons one) and takes a breath and sighs in an interesting way--sort of knowingly but resigned(?).

It is also interesting to note within this dynamic that this is Francesca's first season, but not Violet's--as a mother or debutante.

TRAILER ANNOUNCEMENT:

Also, when looking at their appearances in the trailer announcement, it is interesting to see the difference in how they both were portrayed.

Violet is looking, then pulls back to look on in question, as if realizing something, but is curious for more. Francesca opens it and looks unsure again, twisting her mouth. I feel like this is reflective of how their seasons will be.

I just find the clear connection between their stories that the trailer in particular wants us to take note of to be very interesting. It is exciting to see how they will both grow/change. Especially being mother and daughter, which is a dynamic that has been explored to an extent in this show (thinking of Daphne and Violet in season 1, but even that didn't feel fleshed out), but not much. _______________

BUT ANYWAY to others who have read my other Bridgerton posts, omg thanks for chatting and indulging me in this.

I just finished a big film shoot for a project so this has been a nice reprieve from the stress of that.

Hope you are doing well!

"I'm sorry, honey. If you want to bed my daughter, you have to have me as well…. we come as a package"

all I needed was a mother

The vast difference in the way my mom treats me to the way she treats my sister makes me wonder if she even sees me as her child. Or most importantly if she even likes being my mother. To my mom my sister has always been her child that unfortunately happens to be my father’s as well. In comparison to the way she views me: as my father’s daughter she just so happened to be the mother of as well. She only loves me because I am her child. In fact it isn’t even love that she feels for me, in reality it is obligation disguised as love. She feels obliged to love me because she gave birth to me and therefore she is tied to me by nature. She loves me because she has to. Because she is my mother. And everyone knows that mothers love their children. Right? I can only imagine what the life of a child showered by its mother’s love must feel like. And now I wonder, why do some people even bother having kids if they’re not mentally in the right place to raise them. Me and so many other like me deserved to have been raised in a loving family but instead we got to carry our parents’ trauma on our small shoulders. Looking with our childlike eyes full of wonder and confusion at them and wondering what it was we lacked that deemed us unworthy of our their love. “don’t be too harsh on your parents. It’s their first time living life”, what a lame excuse to try and cover up all the wrong doings some parents do. especially when the receivers of their consequences are their own children. It was their children’s first time living life as well, but they didn’t seem to care when they grounded them to a life that could never be enough due to the trauma they passed upon them.

Happy Coming out day everyone ! 🏳️‍🌈🫶💅

2 different aesthetics, both still clear of how gay we are

XD Some fun with the difference between Ericka and her kids....namely Johnny.

Both HT's humans are well-traveled and athletic in their own ways, used to carrying around a backpack while hiking or climbing. Ericka's used to packing for efficiency and preparedness without sacrificing ability to move. But her adult kids are used to living out of their backpacks and going with the flow. I thought the fun "Action Girl/Lara Croft type meets Backpackers" would be a fun culture shock to play with between Ericka and her stepchildren. XD

I of course love these 3 getting along but sometimes seeing them clash in that way different family members do sometimes is fun. Ericka may be more relaxed with the kids than Drac, but...there's still some things that drive her nuts. XD

"Sure... both of us. But it'll cost you"

[lilithsterrarium]

Hey, sweetie, just checking in to make sure you- ugh, hun... you really need to pick up around here, my goodness... I- I don't want to be rude, but it reeks in here... and w- whens the last time you had a shower? Young lady I will drag you into that bathtub myself if I h- have to... look, I just came in to tell you your friends are here! They seem really excited about whatever it is you girls get up to... I'll let them in-

O- one more thing... you didn't... see my laptop, did you? It just has... s- some personal stuff on there, thats all... a- anyways, I'll leave you to it <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flicking open your mom's outdated laptop, all of you crowded around with a grin- your friends hadnt believed you when you told them about what you found on here. Quickly, you clicked on a private folder.

Inside, there were dozens, no, hundreds of videos of micro porn- of tinies being verbally and physically bullied, teased, abused, used- each one worst then the last... but there was a thread, linking them all together.

The owners.

Although they were all different, each of the owners looked a little like you... as if she purposefully went out of her way to find videos of people that looked just like her daughter, toying with and abusing incons.... your friends gasp and giggle when they realize a few of the videos seem to be involving actors that look like them-

Your mother's fetish was no surprise. Time and time again, you were kept up by her moaning, when she was sure you were asleep- touching herself and weakly whimpering your name, that she was lesser, that she was a belonging... that she was a stupid incon.

Just motherly love for her daughter... you saw how her skirt tented when she smelled your room...

Poor, stupid, silly little mom~
