“You can stay with me and Ant, we have the space.” Dear lord, and how does that go really? Josie forever unable to look them in the eye and trying to relay her experience to Edwina like "they were everywhere, I was afraid to touch the furniture".
Molly, Lavender Haze's Kathony's vibe is brilliant!
Oh Josie’s distressed that entire week.
Anthony is her high school nemesis let’s not forget, and Kate’s her hopefully one day sister in law.
From the beginning she eyes the bed sheets suspiciously in the spare room and at a minimum she knew the first thing she and Edwina did when they moved in together was have sex in every room: she doubts Kate and Anthony were much different.
And for the most part, they’re aware they have a guest but that makes it worse. Because instead of touching, instead of walking in on them going at it like horny teenagers she keeps walking in on them flirting nauseatingly. Anthony whispering in Kate’s ear and making her giggle and Kate watching Anthony from the doorway of his home gym with a hungry expression.
It’s obscene.
What’s more obscene though is that they clearly don’t know that the walls of their house aren’t super thick.
Either that or Anthony’s just fucking loud.
“I don’t know what Kate was doing to him,” Josie hissed to Edwina, “but I’m concerned! I also thought the mattress was about to give way at any minute!”

Okay, because I have to make this post, I will:
I DO NOT THINK KATE SHARMA IS AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING WHO HATES EDWINA!
Kate is a good person who fucks up - it makes her human; I love that about her. I love her protectiveness. What I don't like is people in this fandom who put more responsibility on Edwina, who was led half-blind into the situation when in fact, it is all Anthony's fault.
People get upset with her for what she said at the wedding, and it was awful, but like Kate, she's a good person who was angry and hurt, as we've all experienced that at some point in our lives. Even if she appeared calm, I don't think she magically stopped being as angry as when she first ran from the altar.
Criticising Kate's actions do not mean I hate her. Because honestly, I'm exactly like her; it's why I love her. I'm a control freak who is overprotective of those she loves, and it can lead to accidentally hurting people. Recognising Kate's flaws is not a bad thing; I just like to view her as I do with all characters as human and full characters.
Edwina is blind; she has a rose-tinted view of the world and a sharp tongue when pissed off. So, she's like most teenagers, and most teenagers are awful - I was one! Again, I don't think Edwina is a victim - there are no victims or villains, but people! Pointing out that Kate and Edwina hurt one another at various points is not a bad thing, but how sisterhood is.
Kate is not awful, she is a good person with good intentions whose actions happen to hurt Edwina. Anthony had terrible intentions and should have left Edwina alone way back in episode two when his own mother told him to.
I love Kathony; I just hate how it was executed in the show. Having Anthony punched for ruining a young lady's reputation because Regency England is still sexist and would blame Edwina for the failed wedding and not the adult man who was sniffing her sister is the nicest thing I could do, considering historically, people duelled for less.

The beef you have with Anthony on twitter is very pathetic and also the fact that you PRETEND Violet has haters when all that happened is that maybe a couple of kanthony shippers have said she was a bit too harsh with him cause god forbids audience members feel more connected with the protagonist and not his mom. Also the fact you want Kate to share screentime with Mary and Edwina again when she was treated like crap by them is not it for someone who claims to love Kate. But I guess it's not surprising when you're buddy buddy with that selcouth account who not so secretly hates Kanthony and Kate and has polite convo with the bloggers who call Kate a homewrecking whore. You know your friend writes fic in which Anthony is beaten up and Kate continues to be miserable post wedding for the sake of poor innocent Edwina?And thinks Anthony should give a fuck about Edwina doesn't let him call her by her first name? Tell your friend he eyefucked Kate at the altar in front of her, let me assure you edwina lovers he doesn't give a fuck about her brattiness the majesty. Leave Kate and Kanthony out of your mouth.
aww how sweet of you that you think y'all are the first people to dickride for anthony at the expense of female characters! i can assure you that i've been beefing with his stans since before kate's casting announcement. kathonies are not the first to drag violet to defend him, or even the first stans to demonise their male fave's mother while excusing his own behaviour. sienna/anthony shippers did the exact same thing long ago painting violet as the evil hag who wouldn't let poor little anthony run off into the sunset with sienna in s1.
also why the fuck wouldn't i want kate to fix her relationships with edwina and mary? i've criticised edwina repeatedly for never apologising to kate since day 1. that's something we never saw in s2 so yeah, i definitely want to see that and i consider necessary for them to rebuild their relationship on better terms after the wedding fiasco.
what i consider hypocritical as fuck is being totally ok with kate forgiving anthony when he hardly did enough to deserve her forgiveness after all the pain he put her through, but drawing the line at her stepmother and sister.
anthony literally ruined kate in 2x04 and not only didn't assume his responsibilities as he forced simon to do with daphne in s1, but had the nerve to propose to her sister the very next morning. so yeah, if i can support kate being with anthony in the s2 finale when he was calling her "the thorn easily removed" from his and edwina's lives just two episodes back, because that makes her happy, i can sure as hell root for her making up with the women that have been her entire world for the past 26 years as well.
as far as i'm concerned neither anthony nor edwina did right by kate in s2. edwina because she blamed her for anthony's actions and was ungrateful, when all kate had done was sacrifice after sacrifice for her to be happy. and anthony because he never showed kate the respect he demanded men to show to his sisters and chose to go after her baby sister only to publicly humiliate both sharma girls in front of anyone when they were at the altar.
i'm old enought to be able to form my own opinion about characters instead of joining fandom groupthink or liking/disliking them based on how their fanbase behaves. if that was my criterion i don't think there's a single ship i'd support in the bridgerton fandom, considering that i disagree with most kathony and benophie stans on twitter for always coddling anthony and benedict and excusing their misogyny.
and frankly, i'm extremely uncomfortable with the way you and many kathony stans talk about edwina. y'all are literally victim blaming an 18yo child for falling for a grownass man who went after her and ruined her in the eyes of society. you constanly infantilise anthony when he has more privilege than 99% of men in england, while spending your time talking shit about a teenage girl.
that's not holding edwina responsible for her behaviour towards kate, it's misogyny, plain and simple. she has every right to treat anthony like filth for the rest of her life after what he did to her and be protective of kate, like kate was of edwina when anthony was courting her, after his abhorrent treatment of both sisters.
a 30yo man not giving a fuck about a teenager he strung along and ruined isn't the gotcha that you think it is. except you clearly have such a sexist worldview that you consider him to be the "prize" edwina lost and kate won, rather than a man who hurt them both deeply and took advantage of his privilege over them.
if i should keep kate out of my mouth for wanting to see her have a healthy and wholesome relationship with her family, so should you people for being ok with anthony doing the bare minimum to win her after the hell he put her through.

25 canon era Kathony ❤️
i hope you don't mind but i've used this for my Teen AU Boulevard of Broken Dreams and used it to write the Story of Kate x Anthony in that AU.
Drop every pretence, Drown every sense you own, For the girl that you love Girl you loathe, Insistent pretext, so what does that make god, To the girl that you love
The story of how Kate and Anthony got their head out of their backsides, and got over their misunderstanding and got together.

I can't believe this topic even needs a post but here you go anyways *drumroll*
WHY ANTHONY AND EDWINA WOULDN'T HAVE WORKED OUT
AGE GAP
i'm assuming edwina is about 17-18y while anthony is 29-30y, which makes them have a 11-12 year age difference - aka, a huge generation gap
i don't know what else to say except that it's like shipping the current kate(26y) with gregory(14y), considering they have the same age gap as edwina and anthony
(y'all really be shipping a teenager with a grown ass middle aged man huh 🤨 insisting that he found her body hot 🤨👏 jesus)
MATURITY GAP
one of the prime reasons why kathony connected was because both of them were forced to mature themselves too early, as a result they understood and found peace with one another
edwina on the other hand is still a teenage, and would likely go through maturing as a normal person, without the positionboth kate and anthony were thrust into - this in turn, will unfortunately make her unable to connect to anthony for most of her life (if they were to get married)
HEIGHT DIFFERENCE
this is just a personal opinion, but like daphne said, anthony somehow felt like he would suit a person who was more his equal
besides the obvious maturity and age range, one of the other reason why kathony suited each other so much was bcoz of how close in height kate sharma was with anthony
edwina on the other hand, when she stood besides anthony, felt more like a daughter he was about to debut into high society (her soft facial features as compared to kathony further prove this take)
SEXUAL OR ROMANTIC ATTRACTION TOWARDS EACH OTHER
"anthony found edwina hot enough to consider her as a wife"
respectfully please stop
i'm convinced every attempt edwants take to mention how anthony probably found edwina hot is just to convince themselves to stay rooted in their delusions
the only reason anthony 'choose to court' edwina was because she was named the diamond; imo he would have courted anyone in that 💎 position, provided it wasn't eloise, pen or cressida
the closest thing to 'hot' that he thought about edwina is probably that she has a pleasant face - in other words, you can find someone to be good looking but that necessarily doesn't mean you are attracted to them, which is exactly the case for anthony
edwina too, I believe wasn't really interested in anthony beyond him being handsome and being a viscount (pay attention to the proposal scene she says "I'll be your viscountess" instead of just "yes ill marry you" - maybe I'm looking too much into this but it felt like she was primarily more interested at the life a viscountess had to offer than in anthony)
moreover, you can see in all their scenes together (which again, was always chaperoned), there is never really any sexual tension or romantic feelings in the air - wherever they talked, the most it felt like it was an amiable friendship or I dare say, acquaintance
DIFFERENT TEMPERAMENTS
if you haven't already noticed, anthony and edwina are quite different in their temperaments
let's take for eg. anthony has a natural inclination to be competitive, on the other hand, edwina rather be in a environment which is cooperative
anthony is a bit brazen, once he puts his mind to something no one can stop him from acting towards it, even if the ton deems it to be scandalous - as long as he knows his cause to be right, he could care less about what the ton of him
edwina, on the other hand schools her behavior to fit the ton - she is calculated in the way that she knows she has to put on pretenses to fit in and survive within the tons judgement - you can see in various scenes whenever she is uncomfortable or upset, she hardly ever let's it show in her tone, chooses instead to be polite in all her interactions with the society
now one can say opposites attract, however in real life such marriages or relationships do not really last long - all healthy relationships need both partners to have something in common, be it their personality or their interests - for edwina and anthony, one of the only legit thing they had in common from the start was the death of their fathers at a young age
this is why I think, their marriage would have been doomed from the start - things would have been a bit different if they had even a bit of spark between them, but they didn't - if married, anthony would have been distant and miserable and edwina would have been lonely and miserable
the only saving garce would have been a child between them, but knowing anthony, he would have either not touched her (and put his brothers children as the inheritors of the viscountcy) or even if he did, he would have done it quickly while imagining someone else, wishing that when the child was born it shared the blood of someone else (and honestly yall have to be too cruel to wish this upon someone)
FAMILY BONDING
all throughout the show we have seen that, despite his sometimes dickish behavior, he cares about his family quite deeply, sacrificing most of his youth to take care of the viscountcy so that none of his family members feel loss of their father, atleast in financial terms
in the mere age of 18, he made sure that none felt the need to give up the life they previously had just because their father was not there anymore - he made sure all of them lived comfortably while still maintaining the level of influence they had while the 9th viscount was still alive - he did that all because he wanted the others to suffer just a little less than him
so it isn't surprising that he would want someone who would get along with his family and match the sort of wild spirit they seemed to have - I can give you my word, diamond or not he wouldn't have married someone who didn't care or his family didn't approve of (imo kate was the only unique case, if he would have to marry, it would be kate or no one else)
edwina, while everyone did treat her with respect and care - the bridgerton siblings were awkward with her, simply bcoz their vibes didn't match, they were somewhat too competitive even for trivial things than what she would have expected or been comfortable with - and honestly no can can blame her for this; people are complex, you either hit it off or you don't, there's no in between - if you don't have the spark now, chances are you won't have it even if you have known or met them a whole lot of times
so yes, if they did marry, edwina would have been a bit lonely since she was unable to connect with the family well as she would have liked - the only companion she might have had from the bton siblings would have been francesca, who seemed to be somewhat quiet, a little less competitive and bold unlike her brothers and sisters
ANTHONY'S PRIORITY
it seemed incredibly clear by the end of the season that kate to anthony was as much important to him as his family, if not more
his family was in the brink of ruin, with not one but two big scandals threatening to forever change the social footing they had in the ton - but for the first time anthony didn't care, he danced with kate in front of the entire tons judgement - he knew just how scandalous that was but he was ready to do it all for kate
so it is a good thing, I assure you, that kate was a good person who cared and got along with his family as much as anthony did
now let me ask you
would he have given up this much for edwina? unfortunately no - he would have ofcourse provided and cared for her if he had been his wife, but! he would have never put her needs above his family (if you still think he would have done so - sorry, he wouldn't have, yall are just in denial at this point)
Tumblr media
That's it for now - go ahead and add more points if anyone wants 🤞

could we get some more kathony high school headcanons? the image of anthony being interrogated by indian aunties is now imprinted into my mind
Not a headcanon but here's how I imagine Anthony's dinner/interrogation by Mary going down:
Mary was hovering again. They were ostensibly meant to be eating dinner together, but she'd yet to sit down, instead puttering around the kitchen when she wasn't serving Kate and Anthony.
"Are you done applying to colleges, Anthony?" she asked, dropping two more idlis in Anthony's plate.
"Yeah," Anthony said, to his credit, unfazed as she spooned some ghee on top. He was learning, Kate thought, amused. Spice-management strategies were a must in the Sharma household; generally for Anthony, that meant some combination of ghee, homemade yogurt, and cold glasses of water. "Most of them were due the first, but I did apply to a few early."
"And where do you want to go?" Mary glanced at Anthony's plate, adding tangentially, "Have some more sambar."
Anthony obliged just as Kate reached for the ladle too, and their hands brushed against each other. Anthony promptly blushed and Kate dropped the ladle against the pot with a clang. She prayed her mother did not witness this bit of teenage infatuation.
Anthony cleared his throat loudly before responding. "Somewhere close by so I can be there for my family. Maybe Princeton, or NYU, but my dad went to Columbia and it meant a lot to him that I go I might just go there."
"That's nice," Mary commented. "And what will you major in?"
"Amma," Kate interrupted in a bid to spare her boyfriend, "you sound like an admissions counselor. I'm sure Anthony gets asked this all the time." She muttered under her breath, "God knows I do."
"No, it's okay," Anthony said hastily at the mildly indignant look Mary threw her daughter. "Actually, no one's ever asked me what I want to major in. I guess they all just... assume, because of the company."
Mary was extremely gratified at this assurance. "See?" she told Kate. "He likes it when I ask him."
Kate's mouthed 'suck up' at Anthony when her mom wasn't looking. Anthony merely made a kissy face in response. Kate narrowed her eyes at him. Oh it was on.
"Actually," Kate proceeded to say loudly, "Amma, Anthony was just telling me about his plans for grad school."
"Oh?" Mary said, turning back to Anthony. "What plans?"
Anthony, in lieu of an actual response, shoveled some more idli into his mouth.

My life is a constant cycle of being burned by shondaland. First it was literally being traumatized by Grey's Anatomy in my teenage years and now it's Bridgerton.
Shondaland makes great shows but they really do know how to ruin a good thing.
I hate when creators of shows fixate on a few characters and literally give them all the love in the world while ignoring and sidelining characters with just as much potential. Not to mention, characters played by actors who are able to bring in the ratings. This happened in Grey's and it's happening again.
When I hear the word ensemble, I literally get war flashbacks from Grey's.
I understand the concept of adaptations, I really do. But who in their right mind would mess with something as good as the Bridgerton books this much? Changing timelines is okay, switching things around is acceptable but literally changing the core of these characters and sidelining them in the season that's supposed to be about them is just horrible.
It's no lie that Kanthony got half the screen time they deserved in season 2. It's why the fundamentals of the ship and the two characters changed so much. If they spent more time on Kate and Anthony as two individuals and as a couple, the essence of the book could've remained even after all the changes they made to it. The pacing of the story was ruined for the sake of drama. They got burried behind all of the subplots.
Some of those subplots were truly great and even neccesary but they failed to manage the screen time given to those diligently.
I really hope that this won't continue to happen. Kathony, which is one of my top favourite ships suffered this season because of it. I'd hate to see it happen to the other ships as well.
Regardless of whether Benophie gets season 3, gets pushed to season 4, or starts off in season 3 and resumes in season 4, they need to be the focal point in one of those seasons. And that goes for every other couple after that.
Every single couple deserves the treatment that Saphne got in season one.
They literally have an amazing cast, great source materials and a devoted fanbase. All they need to do is treat everyone equally. Is that really so hard? 😭

i imagine once kathony also get married in the teachers au-verse kate will be mrs. sharma-bridgerton to differentiate her and sophie with the student body, since she loves being a sharma as equally as she loves being a bridgerton while soph has a more complicated relationship with her family so shes more than happy to be 100% bridgerton all the way.
Kate would definitely opt for Sharma-Bridgerton, at the very least to lessen the confusion for the students already having 3 teachers with the Bridgerton surname. As for Sophie, during the early days of her crushing hard on Benedict she liked to picture going on dates with him, living with him, even marrying him, and she'd make herself giddy with excitement and blush at the thought of becoming Mrs Sophie Bridgerton. At times she feels silly for crushing on him with the intensity of one of their teenage students, but she can't help but entertain herself with those thoughts when she's trying to get to sleep at night.

Here is an idea for Good Girls (inspired by the pictures of the lake):
Kate Sharma is showing the new student, Mr. Dorset, around the school, and Anthony is acting like the jealous clown he is... at least Kate thinks he's adorable 😏
Surprise me with the rest of the story, you're my favourite AU Kathony writer 💜
I love this!
Because imagine Kate trying to show this kid around School and Anthony's just standing behind her like a bloody shadow, her hand constantly connected to his after he saw Jamie Dorset leaning a little too close to his girl.
Anthony cursed to himself as his tyres skidded across the school lot, he really hadn't meant to be late today, but Hyacinth had been having a meltdown and Gregory had refused to put his shoes on and Eloise had flatly refused to accept that she was going to have to go to Piano with Frankie this afternoon and it had all just spiralled.
"You're Late." Sophie had quipped standing against the back door of the bakery, bag already in hand. "She's not going to be happy."
"She'll understand." He'd shrugged getting back on his bike "You coming to dinner tonight? Mum's making Lasagne."
Sophie had smiled "Of course. Now get to school, before Kate strangles you."
Anthony could see Kate standing by the front door, leaning against the frame, just like she used to be every morning her arms crossed over her chest, as he took off his helmet. "You're Late Bridgerton." A small smirk tugging at the corner of her lips.
"Oooo Princess, if you let me off, I'll get you off in those toilets upstairs at lunch." Anthony said, unable to keep the grin off his face.
Kate rolled her eyes, though he noticed the way her eyes flicked over him as he tugged his jacket off, tugging his blazer on instead, she opened her mouth to respond as Anthony stepped closer, crowding her against the doorframe.
"Kate! I'm all done signing in and the office said you were probably down here dealing with a perpetually tardy Bridgerton. Whatever that is?" A male voice said as a dark haired boy appeared through the door, startling Kate a little, a grin on his face. His shoes were polished, his tie neat, everything about him perfect. Apart from the way his eyes were raking over Kate.
Anthony felt his face twitch in irritation, his fingers itching to close possessively around Kate's waist.
Kate pushed against Anthony's chest making him step backwards, a sharp twinkle in her eye as she said. "This is a tardy Bridgerton." Taking the bakery bag from his hand, their fingers brushing, as she passed him a detention slip.
"Tardy Bridgerton, this is Jamie Dorset. He's new."
Anthony nodded briskly at the other boy, who paid him no attention, just continued staring at Kate. Anthony bristled a little as Katie sighed, a small wink.
"Now get to class, Bridgerton." Kate smirked over her shoulder at him.
Anthony stared down at the slip in his hands Check your phone if you want to see what you're not getting at lunch today. And let out a very frustrated groan when she hesitantly checked his phone to see a picture of Kate's open shirt, her school tie dangling over her chest.
And Anthony watched all day as Jamie Dorset stayed glued to Kate's side. Anthony knew it was ridiculous, it was Kate's roll to show new students around, she'd done it heaps of times before but this kid seemed a little too interested. Stood a little too close.
"Will you just go over there!" Benedict signed irritatedly, tossing one of his crisps at him.
"No! She's working, it would be rude!" Anthony signed sighing, his head resting on the table as he watched her across the room, her eyes flashing brightly as she spoke to Dorset, even as she winked at Anthony. He watched as Dorset reached up and brushed something from Kate's hair.
"Sophie's coming to dinner tonight." Ben signed, a bright smile on his face.
But Anthony was barely paying attention, Signing back "Cool!" as frustration ached his chest.
And he knew what the problem was, this is exactly the kind of guy Kate should be dating. Not wasting her time on a guy who never could show her quite enough attention, who was going to get a trade next year and spend the rest of his life working with his hands.
By the end of the day, Anthony was in a foul mood, sitting on his motorbike, Kate's helmet behind him staring at her by the door, wondering if he should just take off as Dorset leaned towards her, unable to stop himself, jealousy burning whit hot in his chest.
And then Kate stepped back, gesturing in Anthony's direction, shrugged, and left Dorset standing by the door, a little dumbstruck as she ran towards Anthony, launching herself at him as he stood from the bike, catching her and crushing her against his chest. Kate's hands caught his tie, tugging him down until ther lips met her tongue tangling with his a little filthily given her 13 year old sister was likely twenty feet away getting into their mum's car.
"I missed you today, Honey." Kate said as she pulled back, tapping against his chest to get him to release her before she straddled his bike. Anthony stepped back a little dazed unable to help meeting Dorset's surprised gaze, waving a little smugly.
"Now, if you take me to my house before we go to yours for dinner there'll be no one home." Kate hummed, sliding to press herself tightly against his back, her hand brushing purposefully over his thighs.
And Honestly, Anthony ha never driven so fast.

I like how you keep ignoring the simple suggestion of looking under her tag "kate sharma" where you can find a whole new world of awful bad takes about Kate. The post about kate being a manipulative and controlling sister comes from a blogger called Edwinadaily. But I literally don't care, do as you want, just stop calling me a liar please and thank you :)
the “whole new world of awful bad takes about kate” under her kate sharma tag being....posts about edwina, bridgertonverse fanfics and headcanons and calling out the misogyny and racism in the fandom's treatment of woc characters.

clearly she's a monster who hates kate and trashtalks her all day long!
or should i have scrolled further down and meticulously researched her every post since she started her blog to find these anti kate posts that you and your friends claim she's making all the time but i can't find anywhere nor can you lot give receipts of?
sorry to disappoint but tumblr has a limit of 10 when it comes to the screenshots i could post.
and your other proof that she's an awful person person who hates kate is that *checks notes* she reblogs edwina-centric posts and gifs from what looks like a big content creator about said character (shocking! whyever would someone who stans edwina reblog posts about her!)
i wonder if you people act as paranoid and unhinged when it comes to kathony stans who spend their time spewing misogyny towards other female characters. do you also harass random accounts because a mutual their mutual’s mutual reblogged a post from someone who's been misogynistic towards edwina to defend anthony's ass?
at least be honest with yourselves and stop using kate as a shield, when your real issue here is that she doesn't excuse anthony for his treatment of edwina and kate, instead of vilifying a teenage girl to make him look good like y'all do.

Istg Edwina stans need to learn the difference between hate and criticism. Anytime we criticize her cruel actions (not her anger which Kathony stans admit is justified) towards Kate, her stans cry victim🙄
And the holier than thou attitude and victimhood is not helping her or her stans. They claim she's a complex (as if) character but are unwilling to accept that not everyone will love or even like a complex character.
Lol. And kinder hearted.....Delusional much!
Also people need to learn that you can hate a character and not be disrespectful towards it. I hate certain characters in the show and know people who do too but none of us have ever insulted them per se but their actions. I strongly dislike what Edwina has done and how she has treated her sister (and mother in some scenes) but I don't think i have ever disrespected her. And that's the general opinion I have of what I have seen regarding Edwina. People point out how her personality is a mess and her actions cruel but unlikely Kate/Simone she has not gotten racist, mysoginic, and unreasonable hate.
Complex female characters are amazing, the show has some of those, but Edwina is not one of them. She is mostly a spoiled teenager. Could she have been complex? For sure. Spoiled teens can be complex if their motivations/background/emotions get explored. But Edwina was only a device to cause unnecessary (in my opinion, you can disagree) drama between Kate and Anthony while also focusing around him (the white, very privileged male) and sidelining her own sister. We get told that Edwina loves her sister yet the first person she blames, accuses, refuses to listen is Kate. Why is she not mad at Anthony? Because media loves the old unfashioned trope that the other woman is always the one to blame. Even when there is not such a thing as the other woman.
But yes, everything you said!
