not to intellectualize and defend bridgerton's mid ass writing but for me S2 was never really a love triangle.
sure they marketed it heavily that way, had charithra join jb & simone for main promos etc., but edwina has always been a representation of what was truly hindering kanthony to love each other: DUTY.
kanthony are both eldest children who were raised to take care of their younger siblings, stepped up to practically be the heads of their respective households, and had to carry the burden of responsibilities at a young age.
edwina is literally the physical manifestation of that reminder. anthony never loved her, we get like one (1) scene of edwina and anthony alone together because they never made him develop romantic feelings for her.
kanthony are both too stubborn because time and time again they KEEP prioritizing her (= DUTY) instead of themselves. it's why it takes kanthony's moms' apologies for putting them in such a role so young when they faced heavy losses in their lives — for KA to actually recognize that it's okay to have something for themselves.
jb said it himself: anthony needed to go through such a long and slow character arc before really committing and fully devoting himself to kate. he "surrenders" himself to the thing he has deprived himself off of for most of the season (for months, in show time): happiness.
i thought ppl understood that but apparently not. they're too busy complaining about the lack of KA screentime when that's literally not true???
and that apparently kate's backstory wasn't that fleshed out? these people think flashbacks are the only filmic device to give depth to a character when that is the furthest thing from the truth. you get to know her through her scenes with other ppl, her relationship with them.
you see all her facets: her horsemanship, her love for newton, her competitiveness, her disposition as a spinster, how little she feels because of her grandparents, how she subconsciously desires her mother's approval, her strength, womanhood, and capability in conversations with eloise, how edwina is literally an extension of her (taught and shaped her as a person), & of course her own desires and wants.
but no, they want to waste time getting mad at edwina to see all of what they've been trying to show us, and determining whether a character is well-written only when she is "likeable" or within the standards of morality like ohmygod give me a BREAK

Can I just talk about how beautiful Kate looks as a Viscountess? And the dress? The way they made her style very Indian and desi? Even her jewelleries are gold and jhumka-like? As a dark skinned brown girl who have faced colourism in her own country, watching Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma healed me. And seeing her wearing a proper indian gown and looking every bit of Indian as she is, in a mainstream popular english series and shown as an 'object of desire' and a beauty? I can't even explain how much it means. I'm glad they didn’t try to make her into a British lady, making her wear very victorian english gowns. Instead they let her have her own style, own cultural influence. I mean you can literally wear her entire look in a South Asian wedding and it will actually be very much in style.
Thank you Bridgerton. Thank you Shondaland. You healed something in me you didn’t even break.

Thinking forever about Anthony being that horny for Kate that he smelled her not once not twice but thrice in the arc of 8 episodes.

Today I literally saw someone say :
"Romance with a Chubby ? What next ? I predict that Benedict will have an Asian or a trans woman as his next love interest ! No, I'm kidding, I don't watch that crap."
I don't know what annoys me most about this comment. Fatphobia, racism, transphobia ? Or all 3 at the same time ?
A woman of strong build cannot be entitled to a beautiful romance according to this person ? An Asian woman and a trans woman either ? No because clearly, this person's concern is definitely not historical consistency (and those who continue to complain about it look really stupid because the series has very clearly assumed to be an uchronia since season 1), otherwise the description linked to Penelope's weight would not have been part of it.
What's the point of commenting on something like this under the season 3 trailer, frankly ?!
And for the record, yes, I hope Benedict's romantic interest Sophie is played by an Asian woman.
Other than that, I loved the trailer. Seeing Kanthony more in love than ever and Polin finally getting together is going to be an absolute delight.
