Kate: I will be mean to Anthony if you want me to be.

Edwina: Oh, no. It’s fine, Kate.

Kate: It’s really no problem, I was already planning to be mean to him.

I'mma take a minute to talk about this specific moment in Season 2, episode 4, Victory.

Of all the scenes that make me want to give Kate a big ole hug and a shoulder to cry on, this is the one that comes to mind first and foremost. (Simone's acting, like, ugh, it's too good.) She looks so pitiful; it really breaks my heart every time I watch this part. Here's my take.

I don't think there is another moment in the season in which Kate lets herself be so visibly upset, so much so that she is on the verge of tears, when other people are around. In my interpretation, Kate and Anthony realized they loved each other in the aftermath of Kate's bee sting (keep in mind that I'm strictly talking about the show, not the book) and those feelings were confirmed during their dance that proceeds this moment. (And then, of course, Daphne literally tells Anthony he's in love with Kate after she catches them together.)

So, Kate's in this head space where she's in love with the man who is courting her sister, hoping he doesn't propose to Edwina (genuinely for Edwina’s sake), and here comes her sister begging Kate to dance with Anthony so he has a chance to ask Kate for her blessing to purpose to her sister. This look right here is Kate almost crumbling over the mortifying position she's in. She has been secretly desperate to be in Anthony's arms, openly, in public. The opportunity comes because her sister is imploring her to give the man she loves permission to marry her sister. She doesn't think Anthony has any interest in dancing with her, and this is a chore for him. From Kate's perspective at this point, Anthony has no interest in dancing with Kate, he's visibly reluctant to do it, and she can't give him an out because she won't deny Edwina anything. (Like, imagine dancing with your crush as a favor to his girlfriend, who is your sister.)

This face is one of someone whose self-esteem is at rock bottom. But when Anthony offers his hand, she knows she has to put her brave face back on and take it.

It's just so incredibly sad.

You can feel the love

[ahuublog]

friends with kate and edwina sharma

you’re a freaking golden trio of your university

though you and kate babysit Edwina most of the time

the eldest sharma and you study science together

and edwina is a year younger psychologist

so you three discuss all these scientific crazy things (according to anthony, but he’s joking)

kate always gestures actively and sometimes people in the corridor become victims of that

but everyone loves her anyway so it’s not a problem

edwina on the contrary sits calmly, but she often jumps up and cries out something funny

so you can’t stop laughing

kate seems to be too stubborn and edwina – too gentle, but you know that they balance each other very well

so kate is much softer than she appears and edwina can be unexpectedly strong-willed when it’s her desire

it becomes even more noticeable when you’re with them – you’re like a total middle in a good way

they’re so wonderful, to be honest

edwina is able to make everything easier: she just comes into the room and things blossom

it just gets brighter and sunnier, literally

kate, in contrast, has this calm and supporting nature

when edwina or you have problems, she just sits, nods, then says a few words and all troubles seem to be solved

you all protect and support each other (when kate starts dating anthony, it just gets three plus one)

when she starts sobbing because it was a hard day or anything, you and edwina pull out your guns

or you just bring all sweet coffee and buns (kate drinks latte with huge amount of sugar) and spend all night discussing aliens

they teach you how to make chai tea and god that’s the most delicious and mind-blowing tea you’ve ever tried

you three are a little aloof with others sometimes

but these two are never aloof when it comes to picking up your clothes

your legs literally promise to fall apart because they run around the whole shopping centre (or not the only one)

but in the end you’re well dressed thanks to them and satisfied

“i’m convinced boys’re blind if no one calls you on a date tomorrow” – edwina has hearts in her eyes and omg she’s such a sweetie

kate just chuckles but you know she approves too

when one guy truly makes you a compliment next day, they both sneak somewhere behind and whisper something that makes you giggle

in conclusion – you all love each other

edwina had no reason to be mad at kate about the sheffields, prove me wrong

BRIDGERTON + wedding dresses

BRIDGERTON (2020-PRESENT) - S02E05

[callmefirefly]

The man in question

The girl he becomes engaged to

The girl he truly loves

[incorrect-bridgerton-family]

Edwina: You know, you and Anthony have a lot in common. I think that you could actually be friends.

Kate: I don’t think so. The fact that I despise him would always come between us.

They truly did my girls dirty

[kat-rose-griffith]

I really really hope that polin fighting about whistledown gets resolved before they get married. Besides the obvious reasons, like I want them to be happy on their wedding day, I would like to see a wedding on this show where they aren’t acting like they have a shotgun pointed at them

On The Subject Of Wicked And Bridgerton

It is very funny to me that they cast Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero and then had him meet Elphaba in the middle of the woods while riding the same horse he has in Bridgerton, naturally. But it is just as funny to me how... Kate Sharma-like movie! Elphaba is?

Like. What if I grew up feeling responsible for my younger sister's (and my family in general's) problems, to the point where I would willingly stand by and let her be happy and normal, even if I couldn’t share that with her? What if I was fiercely protective of her happiness and deeply suspicious of anyone making moves on her, only to have my suspicions proven exactly correct when the person she had her eye on didn't feel the same? And then, what if there was this guy, this infuriating guy who seems to have it so easy, and what if we learned to see past each other’s exteriors and fall for each other... all the while knowing we could never be together, because he was with someone else, someone I also cared deeply about?

Like, do you see my vision? At least as far as their respective movie and show versions are concerned, Fiyeraba and Kanthony read like the same ship in different fonts.
