Kate Week Day 7️⃣ Creator’s choice: “He noticed that she smiled. He loved that she smiled.” 💌

🤔 Kate is just the best. She is vulnerable AND badass all in one. At the end of the day, she isn’t afraid of standing up for herself and her family. She has so many incredible moments. Their final dance is so touching-she’s vulnerable yet brave in those moments. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful.

+My favorite look is the haldi scene. She is absolutely glowing. Yet, I will never get over Kate’s look for the Sheffield dinner, her look at afternoon tea in the soft blue, and her look during the audience with the queen. I don’t know how Anthony managed to survive any of these looks.

👸🏾I hope Simone achieves all her goals for the industry. She talks about how she wants to make a difference and I think she will. She already has done so much. I think she has great people behind her in the industry (like EE) and next, her role in The Little Mermaid will only give her an extra boost for what she already has going for her. I love her and hope to see her play the lead in movies and shows!!

Finally, I hope to see Kate nothing but happy beyond season 2. She deserves all the joy in the world. This includes being vexed by Anthony and vexing him back of course.

What a great end to Kate Week! I had so much fun creating new content of one of my favorite characters and actresses! I hope each and every one of you has enjoyed and fell more in love with our Viscountess Kathani Bridgerton!! 🫶

Day 4 Kate Week: It does not matter what I want

"Oh God! Stop whining like a baby, Anthony."

Anthony looked at his wife incredulously.

"Really? I'm the one who is being immature?" He turned to his brothers for support only for them look away immediately. They quickly walked away leaving them alone.

Kate ignored Anthony and stalked ahead with a fierce look in her eyes, muttering, "So like men to think they know everything about a woman's body."

"Kate, please."

Kate stopped and turned around. It was rare for her husband to use that particular word outside of their bedroom.

"What?"

Anthony took her hands in his, "Listen, darling, we can cancel this year's Pall Mall. If you can't play, then we don't have to have a game."

Apparently it was the wrong thing to say judging by the expression on Kate's face.

She snatched her hand back, "Who decided I can't play? You? Last I remember you've neither ever gotten pregnant nor are you a gynecologist. So keep your stupid opinions to yourself. And don't you dare pity me - "Oh we won't play, we'll sacrifice for the benefit of poor Kate.""

"No. No. It's not like that at all. Please, I'm just worried for you."

Ughh! Now she was the bad guy. Damn him for making her feel bad. But she was not going to give into her husband's irrational whims.

She took his hands, forcing him to look into her eyes, "Anthony, I understand that you're worried. I know the constant hovering and handling me are all coming out of love and care. But you can't expect me not to do anything for the next six months. Do you think I will do anything that will cause harm to our sweet little bean?"

Anthony's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"Then, you have to trust me. I promise I am being careful and will continue being so throughout the pregnancy and also after our little sunshine is born."

He nodded his head. Kate brushed a few errant tears that escaped his eyes.

She swallowed the lump in her throat, "Don't get me wrong, love. I love that you are full hands-on invested but please dial down the protective Papa mode a little?"

He shrugged,"I can try."

"That's all I ask."

Anthony leaned in and captured her lips in a soft kiss. She opened her lips and deepened the kiss.

Soon they were lost in a frenzy of feverish kisses and moans, hands exploring each other in brazen abandon.

Anthony was exploring the shell of Kate's ear when he whispered, "Can we go back to our room?"

Kate was tempted to say yes, especially when Anthony sucked at that particular spot on her neck. They could always play later and after all, it was just a stupid game.

Alas, it did not matter what she wants.

Not when she could win against her stubborn husband.

She bit his lower lip and whispered, "Nice try, Bridgerton."

For Kate Week 2023!

Day 1: Amma, Appa, Mama

[lovesickhoneybee]

Kate Week Day 1️⃣ Amma, Appa, Amma

Starting out with book quotes 💟

The library scene (chapter 12) and visiting Mary (chapter 19).

One thing I noticed is that in the book, Kate talks more about her amma and mama, but in the show they talk more about her appa.

I think book!Mary was much more vocal about loving Kate. The show writers really underutilized her character.

Head canons💖:

When Kate was growing up:

She would come home a lot covered in mud on her hands, feet, her clothes. Mary would laugh while carrying her to the tub. To this day, she can’t stay out of the mud, and Mary smiles whenever she sees any on the hem of her dress. 💛

Kate as a mother:

She always takes her kids outside to play. She laughs as they pull Newton’s ears when they’re babies. When her kids are teenagers, they still can be found outside together (reading books, riding horses). Then when her kids have kids, Kate babysits them and brings them home all muddy. 💛

Simone appreciation: What she says about kate here

Kate Week Day 5️⃣ Sisters 💟

Best Didi moment is the hair oil scene 💛 It’s so special. It’s heartbreaking but you can see how close they are.

One of my favorite sister in law moments is with Eloise when Kate is taking her tea 💚 It gives us an insight into how Kate will approach the relationships with her new sisters–tender yet influential.

Special mention is the moment with Daphne calling Anthony out during pall mall. “Are the demands of the day affecting your game, brother?” 😂 Daphne knew he had feelings for Kate and Anthony knew she knew 😅

HC: Kate opens up to her new Bridgerton sisters. She laughs more, she jokes more. She gives helpful advice but is never controlling. She loves to see how her new sisters change and she is so protective of them just like she is of Edwina.

Favorite bts of Kate is race day. Simone looks like she’s having so much fun and she is so gorgeous in all the pics!! But I’m a sucker for bts Kate so I chose several 💟

My favorite Simone interview is the Elle interview. She talks so much about Kate and her relationship with Anthony and it’s so amazing how she explains the role💖She’s also incredibly gorgeous in it too lol.

Kate Week Day 6️⃣ “And admit defeat? Never.”

🤔 Kate’s most inspiring moment is in episode 3 when she calms Anthony down after the bee sting. She does something similar in the book where she and Anthony discuss their parents’ deaths and dying young. From chapter 22: “You don’t have to get past it,” she said again, her words blowing softly between them. “To be honest, I don’t see how you could get completely past it until you turn thirty-nine. But what you can do”—she gave his hand a squeeze, and Anthony somehow felt even stronger than he had just moments before—“is refuse to allow it to rule your life.” – The Viscount Who Loved Me, Julia Quinn

👸🏾 Two words. British Vogue. Her being on the cover was peak “2022 was Simone’s year”

+ Casual Simone has my heart 💛 Does the J.crew ad count as casual? I loved her in it. So soft. Oh and her walking in the street at some point in October. her vibes were exquisite.

👀 Songs that remind me of Kate include but not limited to: “I won’t say i’m in love” from Hercules. “If I hated you” by fletcher.
