Fave character: Charlotte!

Fave f/f pairing: I like Margaret/Nancy, Charlotte/Lydia, and Charlotte/Lady Fitz for different reasons.

Fave s2 plotline: Charlotte's! I'm sad that the thing I liked is done as of the most recent episode, spoiler spoiler.

Predictions: No idea!!

margaret/nancy and charlotte/lydia are both such great ships and i adore charlotte/lady fitz though personally i wish the framing for it was a bit different

i understand that part of the show is showing the abuse that women went through, but i wish there were more things part of lady fitz and charlotte's relationship that wasn't trying to save her from her abusive brother

Well, I think their working together against Quigley and to save the other girl is also a thing!

Oh, okay, I see, I thought you meant as far as what there had already been, not what you were hoping for from the future. I definitely hope they continue to be in cahoots For Good now that they're kissing too.

Fave Character: HARRIET.
Fave f/f pairing: Probably Mags/Nancy, but I'm enjoying the Charlotte/Isabella and Violet/Amelia stuff we're getting this season.
Favorite S2 plotline: Probably Violet and Amelia's. I hope everything turns out ok :(

Fave character: God, I don't even know. Charlotte, Margaret, Violet, Nancy, Emily Lacey, the list goes on and on...

Fave ships: Charlotte/Lady Fitz is definitely my favorite this season. I was shipping it since Lady Fitz called Charlotte the "nectar" to Quigley's poison, and it's only gotten more and more compelling. They're also just both so beautiful I can barely stand it, lol.

I also really hope Harriet and Nell start their own bawdy house, and I would totally ship them. Same with Emily/Cherry if their relationship continues to develop in a less hostile direction. And Margaret/Nancy forever. <3

I feel you on not being able to pick a favorite! Like, I'm the anon who said Harriet was my favorite, and that's true, but there's also Lucy and Nancy and Amelia and Fanny and and and...

nayrt

UGH LUCY THOUGH

I keep wanting to believe this is a long game and it's turning out NOT to be a long game and I want her to be okay but also to stop being such a dumbass!

Honestly all I want for Lucy at this point is for Nancy to adopt her (and keep her far, far away from the Spartans).

A AYRT IRT

Now that Amelia/Violet is no longer threatened the same way by Justice Hunt (like, I'm sure he would still freak out if he knew, but the stakes feel lower since Mrs. Scanwell's history pushed Amelia off his pedestal. The likelihood that it would instantly mean Violet on a slave ship at least feels lower), and now that Charlotte isn't risking her soul and health playing double agent, Lucky is absolutely the plotline that's stressing me out the most.

It's so, so well-written; that one moment when Margaret tried to tell her not to identify with Fallon because her murder was in self-defense and his are out of sadistic pleasure and abuse of power, was so perfect, because it really crystallized that distinction for us as the viewer, but of course Lucy couldn't hear it, at all. Idk! I just fully believe everything she's doing and feeling and I hatelove watching it because it's so realistic but it's so terrible and I have no idea how she can get out of this one. She's a dumbass teenager in puppy love (/ambition at baby's first job!) but the stakes are terridyingly high and she doesn't see them.

i think with lucy it was at first her trying to do what she's expected to do (get a rich keeper, keep the keeper happy) but then she starts divulging her deep dark secrets and i'm tearing my hair out

it doesn't help that it's hetero and i just have no interest in hetero pairings
i would love to see her get out of it and hook up with idk nancy or fanny or someone like that

How are they going to wrap everything up in one more episode?!

(For out-of-universe reasons I'm wondering if there's going to be more, but.)

nayrt as much as i'm hoping there will be a season 3, i really doubt it since hulu hasn't exactly been advertising harlots the way it's been showcasing the handmaid's tale (its golden egg laying goose so to speak)
