ANOTHER LONG POST for the Bridgerton over-analysis corner!
SEASON 3 TRAILER & PROMO ANALYSIS
I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING!!
THAT IS VIOLET BRIDGERTON! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST "NON-INTRO" SHOT WITH FRANCESCA!
The first shot of any main character in the entire trailer is this one. Francesca is dancing with a suitor, the camera pushes forward and directs the eye right to Violet who is standing right in the middle, but with an unknown man in front of her.
Oh, I think there are going to be so many parallels between these two this season--especially in terms of romance. They have mostly been seen together or with "suitors" during all these promos and/or in direct comparison/association with one another.
MORE EVIDENCE:
SECOND SHOT of either of them: they are together--and are shown to be equals here, as compared to how Violet was when she presented Daphne or Eloise to the Queen:
Violet, with her other two daughters, was standing BEHIND them! (Also on their right side.) Now she's on the left, standing at Francesca's side--presenting them as equals.
Also, she isn't matching with Francesca like she was Eloise and Daphne--her outfit for this event changed slightly between the first two seasons (take note of the collar and crown), but has now changed dramatically. She at first presented herself as a fellow debutante (take note of the white dress and the gloves), but now is sporting a silver dress with long sleeves with clear grecian influence.
Violet has CHANGED, she isn't a background to or support for her daughter, she is her own person in front of the whole ton. She is also being "presented" in a way, but as this new self.
There is a new Viscountess, more of her children are married and leaving, and (as of Queen Charlotte we know that) she has had a lot of realizations about her marriage and sexuality. The world she knew as Viscountess and wife to Edmund is slowly changing, fading away to something new that she is beginning to embrace.
I think we will see her come more into her own, and not just as a mother or widow--this will be reflected in Francesca, who is going to struggle with finding a relationship that lives up to her mother & father's (and those of her siblings), especially watching her mother finally start to move on.
Right after this sequence is a sequence of Violet and her presumed new love interest, directly associating the two--they are also linked with the narration "what is the primary force that guides us along our paths?" A question I feel will be explored by the both of them.
It seems as if Violet is accepting this new love this season. Francesca, on the other hand, will struggle with romance this season. Every time we have seen her on her own, or with or having just spoken to suitors she seems unsure, worried.
Violet watches her sit at this ball (the Four Seasons one) and takes a breath and sighs in an interesting way--sort of knowingly but resigned(?).
It is also interesting to note within this dynamic that this is Francesca's first season, but not Violet's--as a mother or debutante.
TRAILER ANNOUNCEMENT:
Also, when looking at their appearances in the trailer announcement, it is interesting to see the difference in how they both were portrayed.
Violet is looking, then pulls back to look on in question, as if realizing something, but is curious for more. Francesca opens it and looks unsure again, twisting her mouth. I feel like this is reflective of how their seasons will be.
I just find the clear connection between their stories that the trailer in particular wants us to take note of to be very interesting. It is exciting to see how they will both grow/change. Especially being mother and daughter, which is a dynamic that has been explored to an extent in this show (thinking of Daphne and Violet in season 1, but even that didn't feel fleshed out), but not much.
_______________
BUT ANYWAY to others who have read my other Bridgerton posts, omg thanks for chatting and indulging me in this.
I just finished a big film shoot for a project so this has been a nice reprieve from the stress of that.
Hope you are doing well!

There were many a moment from this episode that one could discuss dearest reader.
Though this author would like to point to Violet Bridgerton, who was ready to welcome Penelope to her family that evening, at the Innovations Ball.
Violet can be spotted watching the entire time as Colin moved to have a moment with Penelope. She did not take her eyes off her son the entire time.
This author does hope for more Penelope and Violet interactions in part 2 as they are very similar.
That is all dearest reader.

Do you want a free custom pride icon?
For pride month, I wanted to make free customizable icons for people's blorbos. You can have whoever you want, with any labels.
A few rules:
Nothing nsfw, suggestive, overcomplicated, or controversial.
I'm mostly doing characters from the fandoms that are tagged on this post, but I might make acceptations. I am also willing to do multiple characters.
Drawings will be fairly simple, and you can make any requests for sizing, pose, expression, colour pallete, extra details, ect. I'll do pretty much anything within reason.
Of course, they can have any flags! whether they are your own flags, or the cannon identity of the character, or just headcannons, everything is welcomed and encouraged! The background will be a flag of your choosing, along with an optional sign they could hold or pin they could wear, or other ideas are welcome.
Please make sure to credit me somewhere if you end up using any of my art!
Comment on this post or submit to my inbox for requests. I might send you a DM for further clarification if needed. I will tag you once I post the finished icon.
I will try my best to get them done as quickly as I can, but I am dealing with the end of the school year so be patient :p
Even though this is to celebrate pride month, feel free to use these as long as you you'd like!
A few examples!
Happy pride month <3

Alright I have so many thoughts. And I'm gonna write an essay about this because OH MY GOD. Spoilers ahead.
All the Collin/Violet scenes in episodes 3 and 4 were sooo good. Like he's such a dork, he thinks he's being so subtle. I can't find enough words to express how much I love the relationship he has with his mother. That he wanted to ask her but still wasn't ready to admit it yet, but she already knew because he's SO BAD at hiding his feelings. He's so obvious about it from the beginning of episode 3 and he thinks he's being so subtle. Like no Sir, you are not being subtle AT ALL. He's less subtle than any character who has ever attempted to be subtle on this show, and that is saying a lot. I'm still wheezing. But the way Violet at the end was like "you must be so proud that Penelope has secured a proposal 😍". WHEEZING.
THE FACT THAT HE SHOWED UP AT THE VERY END OF THE BALL, FUCKED EVERYTHING UP AND LEFT. In and out, mission accomplished, very efficiently. He's so unhinged for this, but Violet is even more unhinged for basically telling him to go cause a scene. I LOVE THAT WOMAN.
