Also, I Don’t Want Marina’s Death To Be At The Beginning Of The Philoise Season, I Don’t Want It

Also, I don’t want Marina’s death to be at the beginning of the Philoise season, I don’t want it to be framed as a selfish woman leaving behind a husband and twin children, I don’t want her death to be the “freedom” for Phillip to get to be happy, I don’t want her death to be character development for Phillip to pay attention to his kids or some other bullshit.

What I want is for Marina to go happily. What I want is Marina to say goodbye to her children and make them promise to be good. What I want is Phillip to mourn Marina, not as his wife, but as a companion, the love of his brother’s life, and the mother of his adopted children. What I want is Phillip to take his time in finding Eloise, to find love, but still visit Marina’s grave once a month and tell her children all about their mum and their dad and how much their parents loved them and he loves them. 

I am a simple person, I want Shondaland and Netflix to handle a woman’s suicide in a gentle way and not as a plot device or disgrace Marina, I want Marina to find peace. Marina deserves to go how she wants to go.

I’m sorry, but if at the end of Bridgerton S3 doesn’t have Pen and Colin hosting a masquerade ball and Benedict dancing with a woman in silver and her running away at the end of the episode and her butler/maid friend asks her; “Everything alright, Miss Beckett?” and then the episode cuts to black. I. Will. Riot.
