It’s been a week since Bridgerton Season 2 came out, and TikTok has not recovered. Fans were quick to make edits and analyses of the show, which have taken over my FYP despite the fact that I haven't watched it. In other news, TikTok picked up on the actualmost important moment of the Oscars, and they're discussing the worst possible thing to be sentenced to for life. 

Bridgerton was written by a woman

The takeaway from TikTok this week is that everyone is unbelievably horny for Anthony Bridgerton. While I haven't seen the new season, I have seen Anthony Bridgerton get out of the water in his soaking wet billowy white shirt set to every possible song and speed imaginable, thanks to the devoted fan editors.

The influx of Bridgertoncontent on my FYP makes me disinclined to watch the new season because I feel like I get the gist: Anthony and Kate have a delectable slow burn with lots of longing eye contact and hand brushes. 

The season has also revived written-by-a-woman discourse on TikTok, which took over the app last summer. But this time it's being applied to a character who is written by women (as well as men) instead of famous men. Users are pointing out all the ways in which Anthony screamswritten by a woman. In one video, @kyrarall12 says, "You can not tell me that the entirety of this moment was not written by a woman," before playing a scene where Anthony…smells Kate. The video has over 66,000 likes.

In March, @lena.from.tart posted a TikTok saying, "The hot priest from Fleabag is a straight man written by a woman played by a gay man. That's where that thirst is coming from, ladies." Another account, @marmaryeesa2022, duetted the video, pointing out that Anthony is also a straight man written by a woman played by a gay man. The discourse continues to evolve!

I actually did it myself 

The other major cultural event of the week was the Oscars, and the only things we shouldbe talking about are the glorious Julia Fox soundbites we got as a result. The Uncut Gemsactor was asked, "Tell me about your strong eye make-up, is that you or do you have a make-up artist that does that?" Fox softly responded, "I actually did it myself. Yeahhhh."

TikTokkers have isolated "I actually did it myself. Yeahh," and are posting videos about something they...did themselves. So far the clip has been used in over 20,000 videos. One example of the trend is @brutallyblondish's video, which reads, "When you're going over the excel spreadsheet and someone says, 'who sent this over? Why is the data so fck'ed up?'" Yikes. Another is @luciebfink's, which says, "When my husband tells people 'we' had a baby."

This isn't the first time Fox has gotten the TikTok treatment. In February she went viral for her pronunciation of Uncut Gems. I know Fox will continue to bless us with iconic interviews that translate to TikTok trends.

Have I crossed the line?

TikTokkers are using a slowed-down edit of "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u. to post about something a judge would sentence you to that would leave you in shambles. These aren't things an actual judge would sentence you to, but whatever unique thing you'd find to be a cruel and unusual punishment. There have been 23,000 videos made to the sound. 

My favorite example of the trend is @streetgrandma's video that reads, "I hereby sentence you to a lifetime of wearing only women's fitted tee shirts." Another funny one, posted by @aymansbooks, says, "I hereby sentence the defendant to NEVER randomly break into a British accent for an eternity." I simply wouldn't be able to adhere to that!
