Season 2 simultaneously makes happy and sad. Happy because I think I over all enjoy it for what it is, but it could have been so much better.
Highlights of my favourite scenes:
— Anthony’s interviews in episode one (hysterical)
— their first meeting in the park (cute and fun)
— Kate overhearing Anthony with his ‘friends’ on the terrace and handing him his ass (amazing — perfectly set up their conflict) (side note I loved that she went looking for him 🥺)
— shutting the door on Anthony’s face and smirking (peak comedy)
— fencing (I love sibling scenes!)
— the whole races scene
— Pall Mall and the Bee Scene
— the flashbacks (heart wrenching and so well acted!)
— Pretty much all of Daphne at Aubrey Hall
— the harmony ball (pure Bridgerton family fun!)
— the gazebo (though, I think it was weirdly edited and I will never get over it being outside where they could have been easily caught)
— the Featherington ball dance (literally makes me wanna cry)
— Anthony’s speech (literal perfection, the best thing I’ve heard, no notes)
The bad:
I think the writing was very clunky and not cohesive throughout the entire season. I think episode six really highlights this, but it’s all over for a lot of characters. The Bridgertons themselves also felt very off to me as well. I didn’t feel the family love and playfulness as much as I did season one. At points they were literally downright mean to Anthony for no reason. I think they were going for teasing but really missed the mark. I hope that is improved for the next season. (They we’re also downright oblivious? Violet and Benedict especially?)
I know they’ve started to market this as an ensemble show, which sure okay I can see the thought process, however — you have to promote the main leads and storyline better!!! Also…maybe have better subplots? I can’t really say I found any of the other characters stories this season particularly interesting. Lady Featherington’s one especially, Colin’s and Eloise’s. I mean I sort of understand what they were doing - they were setting up season 3 just as they did season 1 for Anthony. But it didn’t interest me as much (note I went into season 1 knowing nothing and not particularly loving Anthony at first but he grew on me!)
Kate felt very sidelined to me at points throughout the season I would have loved to have seen her more fleshed out and I think this ultimately comes down to the lack of the Sharma family set up. The dynamic was odd. To me, I didn’t see a loving and caring family.
I think they tried to get Kate to mirror Anthony a little too much by her taking on the at the time traditional masculine role. Realistically for the time, Kate marrying would have been the best way to secure her family’s safety. I understand they wanted to close the age gap (totally fine with that, the age gap between E + A creeps me out, same with any other big age gaps in the show/books). The backstory just didn’t make sense. I would have loved to have seen Mary be more of an active character, she was completely sidelined and basically made out to be a absent parent? Like she didn’t care that much about Kate at all and arguably Edwina too. She just sort of let everyone else do everything. I think if Mary knew about the Sheffield plan along with Kate would have been interesting. I understand keeping it from Edwina so she could find a match without this overhead pressure.
Finally…the Edwina of it all. I think they focused so much on Edwina not being a plot device she kind of was anyways? They really dumbed her down and while she had some lovely moments (the Penelope at the party, when she spoke to Anthony about her love of literature etc). I really thought for a while she would cotton on to what was happening (Aubrey Hall, the lake scene etc) but nope. The wedding was painful to watch for a variety of reasons (I think it’s my least favourite episode and should never have happened but hey that’s television) but this really started the decline of the character and that’s just down to poor writing. It honestly felt like they wrote that episode first and then tried to work around it and it just didn’t work. (I also want to say I think the actress did an amazing job with what she was given, my complaints are in no way directed towards her). The immediate shift of blame to Kate as odd to me too. I’ve seen it been said that Edwina is more upset with Kate because she loves her more but to me at least it was obvious Kate had feeling for Anthony during the bangle bit but for sure that Anthony had a thing for Kate. I don’t know that’s just my interpretation. And I’m not saying the justification for Edwina’s anger wasn’t there, I understand the reaction. There’s just somethings you can’t forgive coughcoughHALFSISTERcoughcough. Her also taking forever to decide to go through with it was weird to me too (personally would have called it off immediately but hey that’s me) and really dragged the episode out. Finally I remember watching Edwina’s big speech in chapel with K + A and the whole “you have lost your power” but I got so confused I had to replay the scene I couple of times because none of it made any sense??? tldr: episode six was a mess.
What I would have found more interesting for Edwina would have been her not enjoying the Diamond title and the Ton as much as she thought she would and realising maybe this life wasn’t actually what she wanted (also befriending Eloise and having intellectual conversations would have been cool!). Also…meeting a cute scholar would have been nice (justice for mr bagwell)

Bridgerton screenshot redraw featuring Wyllstarion that absolutely no one asked for
(Also personality wise they should def be the opposite but I got hung up on the whole Duke thing so)
This is maybe a WIP? I had other plans for it, but there are other things I wanna draw sooooo I’m calling it done for now
Honestly I drew this panel and then I was like “well I got what I needed out of this one” lolol

@finalbarbiegirl and I discussing what scenes we think s3 will include and desperately hoping we get the drawing room scene where Penelope asks Colin to kiss her in some capacity BUT if they do it with a twist where Colin sees Penelope almost kiss Lord Debling (or somehow or other the conversation of kissing comes up) and Colin says something along the lines of “This is a kiss, Penelope.” and then they have their sweet little moment where the room goes quiet and the music stops playing and Colin can’t bring himself to be aggressive towards her so it’s just a sweet and soft and heartfelt kiss shared between them and then it really does feel like an unremarkable Friday afternoon in the heart of Mayfair on Mount Street, in a quiet drawing room, wherein Colin Bridgerton kisses Penelope Featherington m.

Possible MOTA Bridgerton AU
Unbeknownst to the rest of the Ton, Gale Cleven, the Duke of Thorpe Abbotts, and the Viscount, Lord John Egan, are in the midst of a secret relationship. At one of the most important balls of the social season, John is his usual flirty self with all the Lords and Ladies in attendance, which Gale takes great offence to.
After a delightful evening of covertly pressing Gale’s buttons, John sneaks off to the host’s prized hedge maze, knowing that the Duke won’t be too far behind.
The Viscount is prepared to take his punishment...

What if I named the bridgerton au series sum hella unserious like “Robbin’ for the Hood” 🌚
Like- it’s fitting right ?? And it adds a twingeee of humor to an otherwise sad story. I might do it just cuz I can and change it later .

The husband and I are watching beloved high school classic She’s All That. And I’m sure it’s because I’ve had Kanthony brain rot for 21 months, but that hacky sack performance art bit had me feeling some kind of way.
If someone was inspired to write a fic based on it - this beautiful 90s remake of Pygmalion - who would be the nerdy kid and who would be student body president? This could really go either way, but I think Kate as the popular one would be a fun reversal.

spoilers for 'Romancing Mr. Bridgerton':
i would unfortunately say that penelope's 'oh oh' moment was probably when she overheard colin telling anthony and benedict how he wasn't going to marry her ☹️😭💔💔

okay I love Bridgerton and I really enjoyed season two but I’ve been sitting on these gripes since release and I have to say — everything is rather good up until episode 5 (I mean I hate Anthony proposed to edwina but anyways).
Are we really expected to believe kate thinks edwina and Anthony marrying is a good idea after that dinner and what Anthony says to her afterwards — “I will spend the rest of my marriage wanting you” etc etc — like would she really resign her sister to that date? especially when she knows that Anthony doesn’t intend to love his wife?
I know edwina “loving” Anthony is what spurs Kate to convince him to remain engaged to her sister but she had to know no matter what edwinas heart was going to get broken — Anthony was never going to love edwina the way kate hyped up being in love/marriage her entire adolescence. Honestly if I was kate I would have preferred for my sister to get “heartbroken” before entering a life long commitment
And yeah I know Kate warns edwina about Anthony not being able to provide her with what she wants and edwina ignores her (whole different conversation) but edwinas like 18!!! 18 year olds are dumb when it comes to love!!! especially I can imagine when you’ve been sheltered your entire like like edwina has. Kate is written as being more “worldly” and she’s older so she has to know what a bad idea continuing the engagement would be.
I think it was just such a bad writing choice (let’s be really there were a few this season) — I think I would have much rather preferred to see the engagement broken off and Kate and Anthony trying to avoid each other (“it will be as if we never have had met”) and just like… not being able to….
edwina still could have her Empowered™️ moment/speech whatever when she finally puts two and two together (though probably something that makes more fucking sense than what we actually got)…..and we could have been spared that very unnecessarily long wedding episode.
you know what I would have believed more? Kate pressuring Anthony to continue with the engagement because his actions at the dinner resulted in Edwina losing out on her dowry.
Because let’s be real what he did was wild considering the time period (he kicked!!! people!!! out of a house!!! That wasn’t his!!!!!!!! an earl in fact!!!!!!). And we all know that he really didn’t want to continue with this engagement and this was his way out. Such a dickish move on his behalf (I understand he was defending them, but he had to know there would be consequences).
That’s so much more realistic??? Like as far as Kate knows Edwina only has one season and the goal is to make sure both Edwina and Mary are looked after. How’s she supposed to know Lady Danbury would sponsor another season?? Lady D has been so generous to them already.
Also, Kate can’t guarantee that if Edwina finds another suitor that they will look after Mary as well. And like let’s be real I don’t think Mary was going to go out and find work to survive.

the way kate thought anthony was cute and then stalked him into the garden only to hear the most misogynistic speech of the night and the way he thought that it wouldn't make him look bad was so funny he really learned zero lessons from the first season
also the way lady danbury was teaching them all of the wrong lessons & giving edwina (and kate) all the wrong advice because she normalized her abusive marriage as a part of life is so interesting after queen charlotte
