I do still have questions, maybe someone knows the answers

Question number 1

Did viola's daughter ever go back? If she did, did her mother hear her of something?

Who are all the other Lloyds buried in the garden then? Did Arthur marry again and then came back to bly or maybe he bought the manor back and left it to his other children cause I distinctly remember at least one grave saying something like Ambrose Lloyd and we know the manor was property of a Willoughby before viola married Arthur so whose tombstones are those?

Question number 2

We see that Hannah never eats and we know that's because she's already dead but if she's dead how can she taste Owen's cake batter? Or was she unable to really taste it and that's why she didn't pick between lemon and strawberry? Also when did she exactly die in the timeline? That's still confusing to me

Question number 3

If Dani is dead and in bly manor why can she leave the boundaries of the property given we've seen her upon Jamie's shoulder ? Was that a part of viola's curse that was broken like the rest of it?

Question number 4

We see at the beginning that Hannah lights exactly 4 candles for the dead

Two for the wingraves

One for rebecca

So who's the fourth one for? Is it Sam's candle that Charlotte wingrave lit in the first place? Even though Hannah doesn't believe in lighting candles for the living and she still had hope that her husband would come back

Or is it a candle for herself given that she too is dead? Could it be for Peter? Cause dead Hannah knows Peter quint is dead as she can see him in bly manor but if that was a memory she still couldn't know Peter was dead and they all believed he was alive and had run away

Question number 5

How do the kids know that you shouldn't go outside your room at night otherwise you risk crossing viola's path? Like how did they learn that?

Question number 6 (last one)

How did noone realise that those footsteps are way too big to be kid's footprints? And did noone ask any questions about Dani and miles' blue and brown eyed?

Hot Take On Bly Manor:

As an asexual/aromantic, Bly was obviously not meant to be my cup of tea. Pretty much everything was romance and I pretty much nope’d the fuck out of the main plot real quick. Yet somehow I made it through the whole thing, and the only relationship that made that show worth watching- the only thing that made me not regret putting myself through that whole thing- was the one between Viola and Isabel.

It’s such a small little thing. There’s barely two minutes of screen time where Viola and Isabel are on screen together. But Viola’s intense love for her daughter drives everything she does, even as Lady of the lake. It was said that as a baby Isabel “couldn’t sleep without her mother”. The way Isabel leaps up in joy when she sees sickly Viola in the doorway shows how much they love each other. And Viola refused to die, because she didn’t want to leave her daughter. And even while she’s dying, she’s prepared something for her daughter to remember her by. The trunk of old clothes.

When Viola is murdered, she accepts she’s dead. And all she wants is to see her daughter again. When it’s Perdita who opens the trunk, she kills her. Perdita tainted something sacred she wanted to share with her daughter with greed. And she paid the price. But then so does Viola. Her clothing trunk is tossed to the bottom of the lake, and her hopes of seeing her daughter again are shattered.

But the thing is, mothers don’t work that way. They have to believe that someday, their children will come home. So every night she walks to Bly, looking to find her. For over three hundred years. And even though she loses her memories, and her face, and all knowledge of who she was, she keeps trying to find her daughter. Because even though the mind forgets, the heart doesn’t. And that is so intensely powerful.

I’m so angry that Bly pretty much only focused on different kinds of romantic love when it could have also spent time on love that looks like that. Because Viola is the epitome of what not being able to move on after your child is gone looks like. She is a grieving mother, and all the mothers who have suffered through miscarriages, SIDS, watching their child die slowly due to disease, or having lost their child suddenly, deserve representation in the media. You literally become a shell of who you were. You wander around, just as Viola did, looking for your child everywhere, never quite realizing they’re gone. And that moment when Viola looked in the mirror, away, and back, only to see her decomposing face? Literally a perfect metaphor for not being able to face the truth of the situation.

I’m honestly really sad that Viola wasn’t given the chance to see her daughter again. And I’m even more sad that this beautiful relationship has been glossed over so much, because without Viola’s intense love for her daughter and anger at her sister, none of the relationships that everybody is shipping right now in the main plot would have happened. Justice for Viola and Isabel, who deserved a happy ending and way more screen time, and justice for grieving moms deserving some media representation that makes them feel understood!
