...why is the one episode when they're in the most Real Direct Actual conflict the one where they're actually the kindest and most gentle with each other. why can't they be like this when William isn't courting someone else???

#hi this post was written by me sometime whilst watching the last couple of episodes of Miss Scarlet and the Duke s3 #those last two episodes... really were something???#I think I liked s3 more than s2 tbh #there was Definitely more Character Development #and I'm so intrigued to see where s4 picks up!!! what will she do about Mr. Nash's offer?! I truly cannot make any predictions!!!#also are we supposed to expect not to see anymore of Moses or Mr. Nash in the next season? since they're going to be off in Paris?#I really do hope not... I love Moses and Mr. Nash has grown on me so much since we first 'met' him...#I'm really invested in Nash's character development in particular and I'm loving watching his and Eliza's relationship play out #and then where the season left William... poor guy... he's really stuck between a rock and a hard place huh?#I don't buy into the idea that he needs to drop his own dreams and just accept Eliza's aspirations in turn for his own #because just as she wants to become a respected and sought-after private detective because of the influence of her father #and the lack of respect and friendship she faced as a child #I think William also craves love and a home and a family because he was largely denied that in his own childhood #imho it's not fair to say that he should just give up all his own desires bc they seem overly conventional in comparison to Eliza's #sure he can't expect her to forsake all her dreams. but we as an audience can't expect him to forsake all of his #(and Eliza shouldn't either)#each of them are going to have to do some self-examination and reconsider their own dreams and desires #*including* the place they want to hold in the other's life #if they're ever going to get anywhere together #but I mean. I still do feel for him.#yeah ok I think that's all my thoughts on the finale XD #I kept meaning to make an actual post about it but I can't seem to pull my thoughts together enough to be worth that #so you get this monster tag-ramble instead dkjhfkjsdh #gurt says stuff #miss scarlet and the duke
