CASKETT APPRECIATION WEEK 2023

kate: yea hes not in love with me

how he looks at her: (low quality pics be warned)

I am obsessed with the idea that there is a trunk of Newton’s things that were brought to England and then Aubrey Hall.

me:

The first one was the most clear one, Kate getting stung by the bee. It was clear why that triggered him, since he lost his father in the same way. But still, the depth of his fear of losing Kate took him by total surprise. And the way she was able to calm him down was perfect. It was the first time after a decade that someone took care of him. If he wasn’t already in love with her (and he was), he would have definitely fallen in that moment. That moment was also a table turn for them, with both of them realizing they had feelings for each other. And how poetic it was that a bee took his father from him, but also gave him Kate?

The second panic attack happened in ep4. That was triggered by Kate telling him she was returning to India. He wasn’t going to lose her because of death, but because she was going to leave him. He even glanced at his father’s painting when he was in his study. He just couldn’t lose her, and the depth of his feelings (only later after Daphne said ‘love’, he was able to name them) took him again by surprise. He was able to calm down only the moment he could sense she was lying about her hatred for him.

The third panic attack was more subtle and happened in ep6. After Edwina left him at the altar, he stormed in a room, followed by his family. And he was simply freaking out inside. He knew that what happened was his fault, he also knew that he failed at the one thing that kept him together all these years: duty. The reason why he was able to not break down after his father’s death was because he made duty toward his family his reason for living. It was like a mantra: focus on duty, and responsabilities, so you don’t have to think about your pain. But he failed, and now in that room, he was on the verge of having a mental breakdown. And what striked me in that moment was that even if he was surrounded by his family, he seemed so lonely. No one truly noticed what their brother was going through. How many times that happened? Because i’m sure that happened other times in the last decade, him on the verging of breaking down in front of his family, and no one noticing. And it’s not even their faults, truly. Like Kate with her family, even Anthony has been very good at putting a brave face on, on showing them he was always the strong one who didn’t need any help. And because it probably already happened, Anthony was able to keep it together, and recompose himself before having a full on panic attack.

I only loved s2 because of Kanthony. Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton. Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey. Any of the scenes where neither one of them is present was skipped.

I literally couldn’t care less about the Featheringtons or LW or Pelican. In fact I don’t even want to watch a season with Pelican as the lead romance but that’s a different story.

Just letting you know that the reason s2 is doing well is because Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey carried the ENTIRE season on their backs as Kate and Anthony (with some assistance from Charithra and Shelley but they could only do so much with the material they were given). There are literally edits of the entire season of just kanthony that people are watching instead of the whole show because they’re tired of skipping scenes.

Please do not think I liked or even cared about the dumb featherington plot. Because I did not. At all.

The only reasons I am tuning in for the next season are more kanthony and the extremely low hopes of getting Sophie Beckett on my screen.

Kate, with the superior horsemanship:
