i couldn’t agree more 🥰🥰🥰

Actually you know what fuck everybody else, this is THE most important relationship in the entire Bridgerton family for real.

Fav Bridgerton siblings :)

using references is immensely helpful…who would’ve thought 👀👀👀

Happy birthday to my favorite Bridgerton brother :)))

i can’t wait to find out it’s your season next 👀🤞

me to me: oi! why don’t you finish that animatic you’re so close to completing so you can feel a sense of accomplishment and feel good about yourself—

also me: BUT THE PARASITES WANT ME TO MAKE AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE ROBBED SCENE OF KANTHONY ANNOUNCING THEIR PREGNANCY TO THE FAMILY

the peril that is capital W-I-P-S 😭😭😭 i stg, there is more from where this comes from (a storyboard file with a ton of kanthony doodles that i want to turn into something more)

anyways, almost there with the animatic. about…85% done I’d say. 🤞I get it done and out very soon (please, please, please)

assuming that “Emily” is actually Sophie, ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I WON????? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I WON HAVING AN EAST ASIAN SOPHIE???? ARE YOU TELLING ME IM GETTING THE REPRESENTATION I’VE BEEN BEGGING FOR????

it’s too soon to tell, but i will hold onto this huge piece of hope for as long as i can.

i genuinely needed to hear this.

as much as i am passionately frustrated at the choices made, it’s honestly exhausting and slightly irrational to dwell on things that bring me misery. it just unnecessarily drains my energy.

but a shift in perspective is immensely helpful, so thank you @lookingfts for sharing your thoughts and keeping me grounded.

This will probably be the only "rant" I do following season 3, but it's something I've been thinking about all day, just seeing some of the comments here on Tumblr. You may disagree with me - that's alright.

I do not and have never agreed with the stance that the show "hates" Kanthony or that the showrunners are against the characters or the actors. You may believe that if you wish; I simply think it makes no sense for the showrunners to actively sabotage their own work, and Jonathan and Simone have clearly launched into thriving careers.

What I really want to say is: we, as the fans, do not own the characters. I, as a fic writer, do not own the characters. To say that the people in charge of canon do not "understand" the characters is very odd to me. They literally define the characters. You may think they write the characters inconsistently, which is reasonable, but ultimately, the show's writers (and Julia Quinn, if you're looking at book canon) are the ones who say what the character is or isn't, what they do or don't do. Whether you agree with their choices or not, those people on screen ARE the characters.

As fans, we borrow the characters. We create different versions of them in our heads and explore them in different contexts. We create headcanons. And it seems to me that a lot of the frustration about S3 comes down to unfulfilled headcanons. The show is under no obligation to show us certain scenes - it's entitlement to think otherwise.

I've gotten quite a few comments on fics with some variation of "you care about the characters more than the show does!" There are a MILLION reasons why that might ring true. One being that I only care about Kanthony and don't concern myself with any of the other characters, which the show is not able to do. Another being that I don't have to take into account actors' schedules, production logistics, budgets or any other of a billion considerations for the show itself. A third being that I can write from the character's POVs and get into their heads, which is also not an option in TV.

It's fine to get disappointed that something you wanted to see wasn't included. I have scenes I would have loved to see. But my personal wishes not being met are not the fault of the show.

It's fine to say that Bridgerton has less-than-stellar writing. I would argue that it always has, and if you are still shocked by that after season 3, no you're not.

It's fine to want more of the characters you love. But be reasonable about all of the logistics that might have been behind certain decisions, and do not confuse what you have built up in your head as the only "right" way to tell the story (there's no such thing).

And for the love of Tumblr - if you say you're done with the show or you're going to leave the fandom, just do it. Don't drag on the misery.

nothing hurts more than seeing the reason you stayed leave.

and the worst part is that it’s not actually that important so your pain feels stupid and childish.

i feel for all the saphne fans. it seems we might be in a similar boat.

tumblr is no longer a safe zone for the next couple hours 😳😳😳

surprise kanthony spoilers are giving me near heart attacks

thank god i have something to distract me, which *cough* *cough* will hopefully be done post part 2 now :’)

ngl…i really hope im not going to look dumb if this moment does happen in part 2…in one form or another idk

i can’t sleep anymore knowing that there was the option of having VSQ’s violin cover of Paramore’s “The Only Exception” as the song for kanthony’s final dance

so it’s confirmed…they’re getting another taylor swift song…excuse me while i bash my head into that wall

WHAT DO YOU MEAN POLIN GETS A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG AND KANTHONY DOESNT???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN???

colin: if i had a nickel every time i got engaged to someone i loved who was hiding this HUGE SCANDALOUS SECRET that would have negative and damaging repercussions on me and my family, i would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s funny that it happened twice.

can you believe S3 part 2 comes out in 3 days?…

i didn’t think i would make it.

thankfully, i have something to occupy my time.

slowly…but surely, progress is being made 🥲 i really hope I can get this done before part 2 drops.

and Anthony Bridgerton is truly a lucky man✨

the rumors that there is another taylor swift song in part 2 is getting to me………….I BEG YOUR F**CKING PARDON, WDYM POLIN GETS TWO TS SONGS AND KANTHONY DOESN’T EVEN GET ONE???

WHAT DO YOU MEAN POLIN GETS A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG AND KANTHONY DOESNT???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN???

the vest thing really got me wanting to see Anthony in more Indian attire, which led me to thinking about the wedding we never got to see and Kate’s wedding gown and one thing led to the another…

if anybody would like to share some good resources/references for Indian or South Asian wedding attire, please do.

✨thank youuu✨

omg I edited the OG post but imma just reiterate it cuz it was my mistake: this is a scene NOT happening in S3 (at least from what I heard)

so this is my interpretation of what I would’ve wanted to see if they gave us this scene. it’s simply ✨wish fulfillment✨

lol i wanted to see if i could hold back on sharing this, but nope. (failing at being a mysterious girlie I guess)

so here’s a sneaky peeky of a lil kanthony storyboard im working on. ✨

while waiting for part 2 IS TAKING FOREVER, it is also a perfect opportunity to hopefully finish this before then, especially since…ive heard through the grapevine that is TikTok that this is a scene that will NOT be happening in the show 👀😒

so i am fulfilling my duty of making up for the robbed scenes.

(any encouragement is appreciated. 👉👈 im trying to maintain a steady flow of discipline and motivation to finish this ahhhh!)

right, so im combing through the series to get references for my animatic only to make a discovery that’s making me go insane.

It’s the pattern of Anthony’s vests.

These are from season 2:

AND THIS, is from season 3:

we all know about them matching colors, BUT HIM ADOPTING INDIAN PATTERNS???

he is not longer “Viscount Anthony Bridgerton”

he wants everybody to know, without a shadow of doubt, that he is now, in fact, “Anthony, Husband to Viscountess Kathani Bridgerton”

that is the only title he cares about at this point and i 100% support him on that.

what i would give to know the top 10 songs on each of the bridgerton cast members’ respective character playlists (if in fact they each have one)

hannah dodd saying this is francesca’s song has me weeping 😭😭😭

lol i wanted to see if i could hold back on sharing this, but nope. (failing at being a mysterious girlie I guess)

to make matters even more insane (maybe even worse) is that the first time either one of them said the other’s given name was during a time of distress…

that will need to change please

You know what’s insane to think about?

On screen Kate has called Anthony “Anthony” twice.

And he’s called her Kate twice as well.

hand holding/touching/playing is such a kanthony thing and im so glad to see them just running with it

alright, about an hour before it premieres, I just need to get this off my chest:

im feeling excited, exhilarated, and even terrified because in about an hour, things will become canon. Things will be established and headcanons and predictions can die. Of course, there is part 2 to allow us to still guess, but soon, things will become canon.

For the past two years, for me personally, I’ve felt like there is this little bubble where kanthony is what is based off S2 and is then expanded upon in only fanfics, where anything can happen (literally) but now, whatever happens in S3, will solidify and make real what trajectory they intend to take with the characters whether we like it or not.

What I’m trying to say is, this is sort of my proper farewell to this little safe bubble of just kanthony as it is now, because it will most certainly change after today. That includes their spot as the most recent, therefore, most talked about and most liked couple of the two from the series. I just hope and pray they won’t be sidelined or forgotten for seasons to come (I thought them being heads of the family was safe enough but I guess not) and I shall look forward to simply seeing more of them, in whatever way possible.

i was born to draw kanthony fanart to fill in the gaps left behind by the series, but im forced to work on my thesis film which is heavily inspired by the show in the hopes of one day being noticed by them…

i had wanted to post something to celebrate the world premiere of the season, but didn’t have the time to clean anything up.

then i heard from a lil birdy post that said that JB and S reunited at the premiere on the day of Kanthony’s wedding anniversary May 13….so I thought i’d just do a lovely lil kanthony sketch dump cuz why not.

Happy S3 world premiere and wedding anniversary to the couple who have continued to consume my mind and soul for the past years. Cheers 🥂

(this isn’t even all of them. just the best from the past 2 years :P)

no, but Jonny Bailey singing “dancing through life”…im not ready for that

WHAT DO YOU MEAN POLIN GETS A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG AND KANTHONY DOESNT???? WHAT DO YOU MEAN???

btw….to anybody who’s seen my last illustration, there is in fact a slightly spicier version of it in sketch form…who would like to see it? 👀👀👀

so about those s3 spoilers…👀

ANYWAYS, yippee it’s done. my first, fully illustrated and rendered piece since *checks calendar* a long time. im good on anatomy, don’t ask me to draw backgrounds (yet)

the brain rot of them has gotten me through my spring semester of junior year and I simply CANNOT wait till I see them again. I’ll take whatever crumbs I can get from the season and draw out the rest on my own :)))

hi, im back (nobody noticed i was gone) and im putting my newly acquired anatomy skills to good use :)))

this is just a WIP, but I have every intention of finishing it and then some more because I have 2 years worth of kanthony fanart rattling in my brain that I can FINALLY make
