Welcome to my catharsis😶

Whoa is me, for real-real.

Damn, I am like a baby learning how to walk here on Tumblr and I'm not quite sure how I feel about myself writing this. Anyone who truly knows me real life would be astonished that I'm posting anything, especially this.

Admittedly, I was a more casual fan of Bton pre-Polin S3. I was always excited with all things England Regency era, Jane Austen books and all show/movie adaptations, all period dramas really, shout out to Downton Abbey, The Gilded Age and "The Duchess" was amazing (Keira Knightley is the GOAT). The Painted Veil is an understated fave of mine too. You all get it, I love period dramas.

Previously, I was adamantly anti social media, like at all. No FB, Insta, Tiktok, Tumblr. Nothing. Seriously. I did peruse Reddit for tidbits about things that I enjoy, guess that counts against my sm blackout. Just thought it wasn't for me, have enough problems with my own thoughts. Like how were other people's thoughts going to make my brain better, especially if I fervently disagreed?

Then a seismic shift occurred after S3 part 2 dropped, eek!Cue my embarrassment; after an embarrassingly way too many rewatches of P1, my fam and friends were astonished that I suddenly made an Instagram acct😬. Little did my nearest and dearest know it wasn't to see their most recent hike or to watch a nephew sledding for the first time. I GOT SM ACCOUNTS BECAUSE OF BRIDGERTON S3. OMG, WHO THE FUCK AM I??? Shame, shame, she knows my name.

Am I surprised that I am looking at posts gossiping about Netflix characters? Do I feel conflicted about looking at posts trashing people I don't know? Am I this invested in the scandalous/benign actions of two 24 year old adjacent people for real life people? Am I this person?

All in, with honesty, I guess it's 4 yesses and I'm struggling to come to an understanding of the morality of the yesses.

I wrote this post after seeing some deleted SOHO house bathtub screenshots that I hadn't seen and was enthralled, whilst also watching Colin tell off Portia on my tv in my bedroom.

Send help, not sure if this is problematic or healthy. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels like this. I've never ever been a "shipper" or this weirdly fascinated like this about a freaking tv show.

Thanks for reading, this was weird.
