There are two types of Bridgerton fans: those who will never forget Theo because he was the best option for Eloise, and those who pretend he never existed, because he was the best option for Eloise.

HOTD s3 is really good at cherry picking what it does and doesnt want you to remember about s1 and uses daeron as a vehicle to remind the audience of literally everything Alicent endured in her young teens (while wanting us to forget what she did as a full grown adult)

They weaponise her trauma ​by constantly re-anchoring her to it. (I had more examples but I ran out of image spaces. They do it with all her kids really but its heaviest with Daeron the constant parallels put the entire story at a halt because its just the same shit happening over and over)

Recreating her scenes with Daeron and Ormund/Gwayne, the show attempts to neutralize her past misdeeds, reframing her adult cruelty (and likely daerons actions in Bitterbridge) as mere "survival" or "patriarchal conditioning" rather than active malice therefore justifying why she cant be held responsible for her actions.

(and as shes one of few survivors of the dance in the books, the way its going RC will let her live and let her pass as an unsung hero rather than rotting in her apartments and going nuts)

i think the most underrated part of hannah x garrett, is how he always 'accidentally on purpose' gets justin's name wrong whenever he's brought up between them 💀

'jacob', 'julian', 'jordan'...

Selective Amnesia

I keep trying to delete you like a file that refuses to empty the trash still sitting there in the corners of my mind with the same name, the same smile the same damage

I tell myself it's simple just stop replaying the scenes like a song stuck on a scratched record but my brain is loyal to the the wrong things it keeps choosing you like you're the only thing worth remembering

I want to forget the smalls parts first the way your laugh used to fold into mine the way your silence could fill a whole room without saying a word then the big parts the ending the reasons I still wake up feeling like I lost something I shouldn't have been carrying so long

If I could, I'd trade memory for peace I'd let your name dissolve like sugar in hot water gone without needing to understand why

But forgetting isn't a switch it's a slow betrayal of yourself and I'm still here trying to decide if letting you go in my head means I finally lose you for real

"[Harry] You're going to have to lay in the bed you made. I'm sorry."

Andrea Bain, The Social CTV, reminds Harry that he is in no position to expect reconciliation with his family:

"I think it's fair for them NOT to be there. You say Life is short, but our memories are long. Harry needs to remember that he wrote a book, and he had a podcast and he did an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey and I doubt he asked his family members at the time if this was okay. He did what he wanted to do. Regardless of how rich this family is, I think this is something we all need to remember when talking about our family, listen you have to have respect for them and if you do want to reconcile you cannot go publicly and say whatever you want and then when it suits you, can we just bygones be bygones because if I'm a member of the family, even if I want to forgive you, the trust is gone. How do I know..."

How can u identify amnesia between switching or if it’s general amnesia or normal amnesia?

amnesia has multiple types including anterograde, retrograde, dissociative, infantile, and transient; in this post we will focus on dissociative amnesia which has its own subtypes (localized, selective, and generalized)

localized amnesia is the failure to recall events during a specific period of time

selective amnesia is when some but not all events can be remembered during a specific period of time

generalized amnesia is complete amnesia for one’s whole life history, may forget their identity (sudden onset; rare)

localized amnesia is what you will most likely see with switches between alters with high dissociative walls between them and little to no communication

selective amnesia is more likely to be seen in switches between alters that are at least somewhat familiar with each other and can communicate somewhat
