Like I'm trying not to think about how hard it was for Anthony to be the parentified older sibling while at the same time fearing he was going to die at the same age as his dad did.

Because that snippet in TSPWL of his father-brother feelings towards Eloise doesn't cover the tenth of what he must have gone through with Colin, Daphne and Francesca too. Let alone Hyacinth and Gregory. How he had to be their dad when all he wanted was to be their brother. I'm pretty sure Anthony didn't want to be imposing discipline and calculating dowries and metting out scoldings when one of his siblings got into trouble. That was supposed to be their father's job, and Anthony would have loved to have with them the camaraderie he had with Benedict, but the fact remains that he was the Viscount and he was left in charge of them, even if he didn't want to be.

In the show they added that scene where Anthony is asked to make a decision for Violet's pregnancy, that rightfully so, only Edmund should have been asked to make. Just for it to hit home, how incredibly young Anthony was when he became head of the household. He had to be a father when he just lost his and everyone just expected him to keep it together.

I mean in the show His siblings certainly don't thank him for it, or seem to appreciate how well he's made things for them despite the huge ammount of responsibility he has. In the books at least they do cut Anthony some slack and you see the older Bridgerton siblings trying to break out from relying on him so much, but the fact remains that they still know they can count on him whenever they're in trouble. Even if he will scold them about it.

And despite all this, Anthony never falters in his dedication to his family. I wish the show would portray a little bit more, how hard it is on both sides, for Anthony who truly wants to be a brother instead of a dad, and for Daphne, Colin, Eloise and Francesca, who wants to have a normal sibling bond with him but still treat him as the second main parental figure in their life. Because he's all they had to rely on after Edmund's death.

This is without taking Gregory and Hyacinth into account. Who literally don't remember Edmund and only had Anthony as an example of what a father should be. And perhaps this is the only character trait that I think Anthony shares with Fitzwilliam Darcy. Because we also don't aknowledge how much being Georgiana's parental figure from a young age, affected Darcy's approach to living his life.

Nope I'm not crying. No sir

It doesn’t matter that you’ve got that stupid accent, or that your bits are different to my bits, but because being a Derry Girl, well, it’s a fucking state of mind!

andrew garfield saying, “i hope this grief stays with me because it’s all the unexpressed love that i didn’t get to tell her” about his mothers passing is so gut wrenchingly beautiful because we rarely talk about the love we want to express but can’t, not because you’re not brave enough to say it out loud but because they’re not here to listen to it anymore. calling grief the love you never had the chance to share makes it less of a burden and more of something you want to keep and not something terrible you want to move on from. i love love how everything about grief always comes down to “what is grief if not love persevering?”
