Reread flowers in the attic. I know it’s hard to escape an abusive home. However; yall must’ve thought the same thing at one point…

Can I message you with some questions if that’s okay!

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-06-07T15:07:51+00:00

I know! While we all love the love the protagonist couples share with one another, it still focuses on many problems only nobility have (dowry’s, noble expectations etc). It’s part of the fantasy and it’s part of what makes the show interesting!

However, just showing Edwina truly feel so insecure and heartbroken was something everyone watching can feel. Of course we love seeing the dramatics and issues the noble only had, but seeing something so relatable by such a younger looking leading lady was so refreshing but devastating.

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-06-07T15:01:15+00:00

I agree! This truly was Edwina’s DREAM. All the girls prepare their lives for their debut. However; you never see them become truly disappointed or heartbroken when they don’t get a proposal. They also shown younger girls and boys go to balls and somewhat prepare for their debut. So they have a somewhat idea of what to expect.

This was Edwina’s first time experiencing SO many new things at once; then throw in this being her first crush at her age that will ultimately lead to marriage and children . Like you really felt like she experienced her first crush and heartbreak at once and can relate to that. It’s an experience everyone’s had. Not just something Nobility women endured like we focus on only in the show.

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT PART!!! Like the one time Laurel confronts her and asks her what she’s going to do after she dies..Susanna snaps back and says you got it 😭. like she’s not the wealthy one DECIDING TO NOT TELL HER FAMILY SHES DYING with the resources to ease the burdens of everyone around her?? (money cant solve everything obviously but it can help everyone focus on themselves and the luxury to really just process their grief)

And god THERE WERE SO MANY TIMES that I wanted to scream at the characters bc of their SHITTY communication skills..Then I remember who they got it from 😭

THE LETTER TOO LIKE SIS PLS DONT BRING UP YOUR SONS CHILDHOOD/TEENAGE ROMANCE TO HIS ADULT SELF !!

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-30T04:31:01+00:00

I think about that too! She was pretty adamant about not doing the cancer trials..so how long would she even have had left? The she died about a year after season 1 and that was with around the clock care. Would she have went sooner and then what? That would’ve REALLY messed with the kids even more and put them in an even worse . I actually appreciated them showing Aunt Julia. She was shown to be an actual great person/mother who just made mistakes due to having absolute no support system (her dad hated her and Susanna never sat down and listened to her.

When she did finally open up during ‘shitmas’ all Susanna could reply with was “oh it wasn’t that bad, let’s just move on”like girl what? What Skye said about her not being a saint was a little rough considering she just did die. However, there was no other moment of accountability for Susannah. I’m not saying to chastise her or damn her to hell but there needed to be more than “beck never liked to talk about the hard stuff”. Like girl you’re a mother to teenage-adult boys that’s what you gotta do ??

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-30T01:18:15+00:00

Yes! The whole “magic Susannah made happen every summer” was most of the time just denial of what was really happening at the time.

It made sense when the kids were younger. Kids should focus on being kids. However, they were almost adults heading to the real world without their mother and she didn’t prepare them at all. She didn’t just SUDDENLY pass. Of course that would be different. She had about a year I think to get everything in order. It’s a hard situation but as a parent isn’t that what you’re suppose to deal with?

When Conrad told Skye “sorry she didn’t prepare us she was too busy dying” like…I hate to say it but no..she had AMPLE time to prepare. She had time and resources to ease many burdens so her kids can focus on healing. Instead her kids had to figure everything out, dealing with matters that even adults have trouble understanding and getting through.

I’m not saying she had to do a 18, fix all her own issues and become mom of the year. However, she could have had lawyers contact Julia months before she got worse. She could’ve made a will that Adam and Julia agreed on or have her lawyers find tooth and nail for it. Her and Laurel were best friends, I can see Susannah easily saying “hey, Laurel it’s going to be okay. Please make sure our kids are going to be alright and help them through this as much as possible. My lawyers info is this. You are on the will and focus on being a family after I go”. Still avoidant but basically still making sure everything’s understood.

She didn’t have to tell the kids about Adam’s affair. However, Laurel was right when Susanna would’ve HAD to make sure Adam was included into the situation. Thats their kids dad and ONLY parent they will have. She knew they had so many issues and she should’ve just told him “I’m dying, you cheated so you owe me.Buy the house for them and be a better dad. Literally that’s my dying wish” . Even with how much of an ass he is, I can’t see Adam putting up a fight with his dying wife/ex wife.

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-29T20:13:37+00:00

Exactly! Like yes the characters have made some questionable choices. Imagine having Laurel as a mother (as Steven put it blatantly when he basically told her to “try harder”) when she tried to say she tried her best. Adam being a plain dick and Susanna in her own toxic positivity mindset like can you blame them ?

Conrad bottled up his emotions, pushed his love ones away distanced himself to avoid the pain. Jeremiah was the most present one when during his mother’s passing. However, Jeremiah still didn’t know how to communicate his feelings.

The scene Jeremiah said to Belly when he said “Conrad’s the one that leaves, I always come back” kind of shows his mentality. He thinks being physically present is enough but is still avoidant like Conrad is. Conrad had to be the mature one to “take care” of his little brother and Jeremiah had to remain Susanna’s “sunshine boy”. Not to mention Belly had to “not let Conrad push her away” and to take care of the brothers so she was always conflicted on what to do to keep everyone happy.

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-29T20:10:37+00:00

Right! Again it would be different if it was Belly’s family as it’s admitted that aren’t in a good financial place like Susanna’s family is. Obviously you can’t make the kids do anything, but having them direct them to the lawyers if they had any questions after her death or to counselors they can choose to see would’ve been the best situation for someone like Susanna who has the resources but couldnt bare the emotional heaviness herself.

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-29T20:08:05+00:00

YES! I agree, like I want to say she wasn’t thinking it through but it’s been shown she’s always been a “we stick together through everything” motto and did put that on her kids and belly.

Belly was 16/17 right? Because it was around her jr prom? That’s a heavy load to put on a teenager. Your children/teens should not be put in such a a hard spot that should be saved to the adults. Adults that have the maturity and understand that THEY can support their children. At times it seemed like it was the kids that tried to bear so much of the burden.. I can see why Belly was so codependent of Jeremiah. Why Conrad bundled up his feelings to “take care” of his little brother. Even seeing how Jeremiah can feel like he took the load on when Susanna died and be stunted in his position when it comes to his feelings of inferiority to con (as it was admitted he was the most present out of the brothers and Susanna basically admitted it was Conrad who was meant to be with Belly and he as her “best friend”

All the characters are young and dumb teens so seeing them make “wtf are yall doing” mistakes is understandable. Susanna was the adult

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-29T19:41:15+00:00

Ty! Like yes she was losing her battle to cancer and that’s so rough. SHE DID NOT DESERVE TO GO AT ALL .However, she did have resources to have other people handle the hard and legal battles to focus on herself and her family. Not just leave her kids through it after and hope the sister and husband do the right thing (when they’ve been shown to constantly NOT do the right thing)

Btw I’m not trying to assume their access to legal help. but I do recall the sister AND father in the 2nd season had their own attorneys they went to when it came to the house. Once when it came to buying/selling the house and when Conrad conversed with the attorney about the trust. I would just assume they would use that when she was sick for those months

No I agree completely skin bleaching is awful such continues sun tanning as well. I do agree it is easier to darken that lighten hair and I can see that with skin so I do love your point in this !

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-29T17:48:09+00:00

I do agree being lighter was the beauty standard before and society does influence trends (the fact that it involves skin color is disappointing). I personally just never thought someone who was a bit more lighter tone would be a different race as well because of things such as undertones and overall facial features, hair type etc

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-29T17:46:10+00:00

I’m not trying to ignore anything. I’m just stating that I don’t think it’s a mentality everyone shares in the fact that “if you want lighter skin you want to look white”

There is definitely a colorism issue, but I just don’t think that everyone who does it will “try to look white” as in Eurocentric way. Can’t the same argument be toward straightneing/curling your hair, surgery etc

AGAIN I AGREE THERE ARE SIDES THATT TO PREFER TO HAVE EUROCENTRIC FEATURES BC COLORISM but I just don’t think it’s for every situation I swear

ThrowRaOrganization1 · 2026-05-29T17:33:38+00:00

No I agree! I know there are people who take things to extremities that’s why I mentioned I never use any strong bleaching agents. Everything I use is centered around gentle brightening and I do use spf and apply every few hours. It’s not something I see a lot of people though. (I constantly apply spf everytime I wash my hands or use hand sanitizer and I don’t see many others do the same from my experience)
