I Still Cant Get Over How Anthony Only Confesses His True Feelings Of Guilt, Desire, Grief, And Love

I still can’t get over how Anthony only confesses his true feelings of guilt, desire, grief, and love to Kate and no one else, and the only times he acts against what he thinks he wants is for Kate.

In most shows/books, there’s a best friend character or family member that the hero confides in, but here we see Daphne, Violet and Benedict only get the fake Anthony who tries to do his duty and act honorably and is so focused on his goals, he can’t be completely honest with them. He has all this heaviness on his shoulders and the only one he can tell is Kate. Violet finally sees through his pain at the end, but he doesn’t just come out and tell her how hard it’s been for him to live for his family instead of himself. Only Kate gets the unvarnished truth.

Then there’s the moments he stands up for Kate, wants to protect her, and needs her good opinion at his own expense. It starts with Benedict’s poem that he can’t pass off as his own once he sees the way she looks at him. Then when she says it doesn’t matter what she wants, he’s the first to say that it should matter. He’s the one who asks why she doesn’t intend to find a match for herself, the only one wondering about her future happiness. When she is angry he has proposed, he pauses a moment to ask her if she would have wanted that unthinkable fate of them getting married instead because what she wants still matters.

He stands up to the Sheffields when they degrade her with their insults knowing it jeopardizes his engagement, and then he agrees to marry Edwina just because Kate begs him to even though he knows how much it could cost him and his honor. Then when the wedding disaster happens and Kate’s whole family blames her, and she blames herself, he pauses in his mission to fix things to tell her to “wait” just so he can hold her hand and comfort her.

Some say that this season lacks the emotional bonding that we get through the book, but I think the show does a lot to show how much Anthony falls in love with Kate, and not just in lust.

Enid: What are you writing?

Wednesday: The government wants to know what kind of weapons we have in the house. I'm letting them know it's private information.

Xavier, looking over Wednesday's shoulder: This just says 'fuck around and find out' in calligraphy.

What Shane said

[id: screenshots of tiktok captions. the images say, “but the only reason we still love princess diana is because she did not have the time to disappoint us.”]

begging queer kids to read up on princess diana’s involvement with the community. yes, she was a rich, pretty monarch. yes, she died young.

but the reason why queer people love her is because she used her privilege during the aids crisis to advocate for sick queer men, when very few others would - much less someone of her status.

diana spent years advocating for the health and care of queer people with hiv/aids. in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, she opened the first specialist clinic dedicated to treating aids patients (the first clinic of it’s kind in the uk).

she also fought public hysteria by hugging and shaking bare hands with aids patients, at a time when aids was thought to be spread by skin to skin contact. not only that, she visited patients in the clinic regularly and even comforted them through their sickness.

and when queen elizabeth told her to try focusing on “something more pleasant”?

diana ignored her and kept fighting.

and this is only her work towards the aids crisis. she publicly called out the royal family, brought attention to numerous world issues, and was known as an advocate for empathy and kindness. she’s known and loved as the people’s princess for good reason

its truly the era of comebacks. december was all about andrew garfield, january about charlie cox and february is gonna be about logan lerman. i am manifesting this shit.
