Please help me go into remission from Type II diabetes

Hello everyone, I am so sorry to remake this post, but I am very scared. I am experiencing embarassing and vulnerable symptoms- my type II diabetes is becoming progressive, and I am desperate to go into remission. It has affected my liver and my heart, and neuropathy has made me partially incontinent. On April I was hospitalized twice. I have no thyroid, and without medication, it will put me into a myxedema coma and will kill me within days. Hypothyroidism and type II diabetes is making it very difficult for me to find work, as I am from the global south (the Philippines), with government aid only covering 20,000 pesos (around 326 usd) a year. I am the only person in my family who can work; my mother is paralyzed from a brain injury, and my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. I need help covering for my new medication, as I now take metformin twice a day, and phosphates to help with my liver and kidneys, and b complex to help bolster my immune system. Im sorry I keep remaking this post, I am alone and desperate. Community is all I have. Thank you so much for your endless grace and compassion.

Season 4, Episode 2 vs Queen Charlotte, Episode 1!

I was so astounded at Charlotte actually apologizing to Agatha for snapping at her in this scene, do you think it's because she remembered this exact moment from many years ago?

black comic readers will say "buying black lead comics or black characters comics from dc doesn't stop them from getting axed and it's been literally 1200 days since dc has had a black ongoing so we're calling for a boycott to put pressure on dc by not buying comics and instead directly supporting black creatives" and here come the dumbest white people on the earth going "but dc is releasing pride month comics, do you hate queer people? but dc has female creators releasing comics, do you hate women? this boycott is so disorganised. i can't believe you hate queer people"

#AND THEIR POINT IS WRONG ANYWAY.#every year when they do their variants for pride or women's history month or asian history month #(all demographics that have current ongoings)#for anyone other than leads of their own ongoings it's like. Wow Okay so you DO remember these characters exist #same with hispanic heritage month.#they only remember when it's convenient! don't take their scraps!#'but dc is releasing pride month comics' aquaman is getting a variant with kaldur. a queer black man.#when is the last time kaldur was even Relevant in that series?#'do you hate queer people?' why are we ignoring how black queer characters are tossed aside on the regular. look with your eyes.#'do you hate women' they put vixen on their women's history month variant this year. on the issue itself she has. what. no lines #she was in their black history month variant too. i don't think she'd even Appeared on the run by then #and we're talking issues 16 and 17 of what's meant to be the jl's biggest ensemble book to date

COSTUME APPRECIATION Violet Bridgerton, Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton — Bridgerton

"You are trying to tell me that you understand. I can see it in your face, even when you say nothing. That we are the same now because we've both lost our husbands, but we are not the same." — Season 4, Episode 7

“You were barely even there after he died.” — “Season 2, Episode 3”

Do you think Violet thinks about this? Do you think Violet felt guilty seeing her daughter go at least you have children while knowing that at the worst of her own grief she could barely even get out of bed? Do you think Violet ever thinks back on her attitude towards Hyacinth as a baby and feels so sorry?

She had lost something horrible! She saw Edmund die! He died in her arms and she was pregnant! She really was doing her best! But it’s so interesting seeing Francesca’s perspective of that time (“John has left me with a gift like Father left Mother”) be so different from what Violet felt and how Anthony remembers it. We know he was taking care of the others as much as possible, but I don’t think it’d sunk in for me how much he protected them after Edmund’s death until this. It’s so interesting to see Anthony and his eldest child perspective contrasted with Francesca, who was second youngest before Hyacinth was born.

To Frannie, the baby would have been hope. For Violet, the pain was not soothed at all! Grief is different for everyone but I wonder if Violet stood in front of Edmund’s portrait that night and replayed “we are not the same” and Anthony’s words over and over again.

BONUS: Mother and daughter arriving to the same conclusion.

#francesca bridgerton #violet bridgerton #bridgerton #bridgerton s4 #bridgerton s2 #ohhh anthony you eldest child you.#franjohn

NEVER not thinking about Francesca saying “John has left me with a gift, a piece of himself, just as Father left Mother with Hyacinth” meanwhile Violet is on record telling Anthony she pitied Hyacinth because she’d never know her father. Francesca staying calm for the child she thinks she’s carrying vs Violet being “barely even there” after Edmund died. “You have eight children. Eight pieces of your husband to remember him by” and recently widowed Violet was in her room, breathing in and out, telling Anthony not to ask her about family dinner.

“We are not the same.” And she was right! She was even more right than she knows or will ever realize! These two women did not grieve the same at all!

It makes sense Violet didn’t understand Francesca’s initial composure. She didn’t know about the supposed pregnancy for one, but what she did know is that her own grief ripped her to pieces pregnancy notwithstanding. To Violet, Hyacinth was a reminder that Edmund was gone, while to Fran a child would have been a reminder of John. She isn’t completely unmoored until she learns she’s not pregnant.

But in the end, they are at the same place! “Edmund was the air that I breathed, and now there is no air” and “I gave him nothing, I have nothing!” And it’s just like hell, man! Grief! Grief narratives in Bridgerton! Mother and daughter who have always been foils!

Something that I find Fascinating is that the show reproduces John’s death from the book beat for beat EXCEPT for one very curious detail.

The lead up to John’s death goes like this:

Francesca, Michael and John spend time together exchanging conversation —> Francesca, Michaela and John spend time together doing their puzzle and give us the cute final piece foreshadowing

John has a headache and retires for a nap. Same in both.

Michael/Michaela and Francesca spend time alone together. In the book, they go for a walk and chat. In the show, they make another puzzle offscreen.

Francesca goes to wake John up. She screams.

Now here’s the difference: in both show and movie, Michael and Michaela hear the scream and react. But. BUT! We don’t see Michaela go up to Fran and John’s room like we see in the book. There, Michael sees Francesca sobbing and knows upon seeing John’s body that he is gone. We see that grief and that immense, unbearable loss through his eyes.

In the show, we see Michaela react to the scream. We see her walk off camera, stunned and even frightened… and the episode ends. The next time we see Michaela, she’s curled up and quiet and the stillest we’ve ever seen her on the floor of the sitting room, dressed for her dearest cousin’s funeral and completely unprepared.

And I just find that so odd because on every other aspect of the scene they recreated the beats even if not the exact circumstances (puzzle vs walk, for example), so it stands out that we didn’t get that Michaela scene equivalent. From a filmmaker standpoint, it’s a good point to end the episode on. It’s not their season. It’s good drama and good character work to get right to Fran’s processing grief, which is the centerpoing to ep7.

But that’s the thing, isn’t it? We haven’t yet seen Michaela through her own lens yet, we haven’t had glimpses at her full interiority as a character. Almost all of her scenes are viewed through either Fran or John’s lens. The only time she’s Alone and Unobserved that we see is when she hears Fran’s argument with Violet. The bulk of her character work is definitely coming in season 5, which will center her as a proper lead.

So my theory is that they’re saving this scene. That we will see this in flashback during s5 as we explore Michaela’s character. This is Michaela’s greatest loss. It’s her dearest cousin. It’s looking at his body and knowing that’s not John anymore. It’s the crushing, sudden weight of losing him and her world going upside down as a result. Look, it’s material that could be right up there with Anthony’s flashbacks to his mother’s “Edmund should be here!” speech when Hyacinth was born.

It could be SUCH A PIVOTAL SCENE FOR THEM!! It would be DEVASTATING!! My bets would be on episode 2 since it tends to be the romantic lead flashback episode. And I could be wrong! But I would Love to be right on this

THIS THIS THIS!

I’m really hoping for flashbacks and this is one of the ones I’d like most. I want to see her confide in John, a memory of their laughter, a flashback to their time in Scotland, maybe the catalyst for Michaela’s “chaos,” so when we see the loss we know everything she feels behind it.

You make such a good point with Anthony’s flashback. Michaela’s “Edmund should be here!” is “Wake him up, Michaela! Now! Wake him up!” 😭 (I was working on this scene in my fic and gah my heart 💔)

I cannot wait for Masali to shine next season.

YES EXACTLY! YOU GET IT! I absolutely love what we have of John and Michaela so far, but because they stayed out of their POVs for the most part it is Slightly more tell than showy right now. I think one or two flashbacks would really bring it in! I’m just excited for them… the Stirlings…

Look. Look. In my heart of hearts, the “I have nothing!” Violet and Francesca scene (with Michaela listening) is essentially the Fran equivalent to Anthony’s “Do not ask me about family dinner” in s2. Season 4 did a lot of parallels to the previous seasons and Queen Charlotte, so I think we could get some more s2 flavored grief in here!!!

MASALI WILL DO SO WELL!! I’m so excited
