Ive Just Realised How Insane It Is That Portia Told Penelope That Instead Of Reading About Certain Topics

I’ve just realised how insane it is that Portia told Penelope that instead of reading about certain topics and gaining knowledge on her own, she should let men explain the world to her because that is what they like doing, while Colin on the other hand literally keeps mentioning how she made him see the world from a different perspective. Polin forever <3

Just looking at Bridgerton Season 1 Behind the Scenes photos of Luke Newton/ Colin Bridgerton and thinking about how his face card has never declined:

He’s always been so pretty 😍

Day one Colin fans are made of two things: good taste and patience.

The fact that some people think we who love and stan Penelope don't know she's messy and has some issues she needs to resolve is hilarious. We love her exactly because she is far from perfect. Give me the perfectly imperfect characters any day. And Colin loves it too, byt the way, he's into her mess...just saying.

Violet to Colin: "You're one of my most sensitive children."

The fandom: "How can she say that! Anthony, Benedict bla, bla bla..."

Colin is ONE of her most sensitive children. ONE, just ONE of them. And she's right.

ONE OF HER MOST SENSITIVE CHILDREN

He was the only one who indulged Violet and let her introduce him to debutantes in s1, while Anthony fucked his mistress and Ben went to orgies.

He was a complete gentleman with Marina. AND defended her when Anthony implied something about her.

And when he learned the truth, he confessed that he would have married her if she had told him the truth. 🥹

He danced with Pen after Cressida bullied her.

He wrote dozens of letters that his family of 8 could not care to respond to often. There are 8 of them!

He worried about Ben in s2 and supported him on his application to the Academy.

He learned the truth of Jack Featherington and instead of simply leaving, he did something about it. Not only did he help the Featherington family, but he saved other lords from being scammed.

He apologized to Will, explained why he acted rudely AND made amends to repair the damage by bringing men to Will's club.

He returned with gifts for everyone, but he seemed particularly thoughtful to his sisters and mother. A perfume for Hyacinth, music for Francesca, and a book for Eloise 🥹. Violet was so moved by his gift and here we have a lovely headcanon on the watch:

Then with Pen...

He runs after Pen, despite other men wanting to know about his adventures.

He acknowledges his mistake and immediately tries to apologize to Pen in the Four Seasons Ball.

The next day, he comes back with a heartfelt apology.

Then, he offers her help, despite the risk of scandal and embarrassment for him. He knows Pen has no one else.

He goes to see Pen at night to make sure she's ok. And when she asks him for a kiss, he does it so sweetly.

He is brave enough to leave the men who just want to know about his sexual life.

HE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO ASK, as soon as he put himself together and understood his feelings. He didn't play jealousy games like others, he went and put his heart on the table. He didn't even know about Pen's feelings and he risked it!

Some extracts from Colin's journals show that his family is always in his thoughts.

You can see why Violet, as the good mother that she is, can tell how sensitive he is.

Colin travels during the summer and comes back during the season to be with his family. It angers me that people think he's selfish for this when Benedict also abandons the family to fuck.

And yet, both Colin and Ben are sensitive. BOTH OF THEM, Francesca too. I wouldn't call Hyacinth or Gregory sensitive right now, and before s3, I wouldn't include Eloise either.

Anyway, I needed to get this out because I am so fucking tired of Kanthonies and Benophies making tantrums about this line.

I'm sure when s4 comes, we are going to see a moment between Violet and Ben where she acknowledges how amazing he is and everything he has done for the family. But not now, because this is COLIN'S SEASON.

(NOTE: If you are thinking of reblogging this post with the tag #Colin is the most sensitive, kindly fuck off. I made this post to fight the Kanthonies and Benophie that are attacking Colin, not to validate your own need to make Colin superior to other characters. HE IS ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE CHILDREN, ONE)

You guys do know many things can be true at the same time, right? Pen has the right to want to fight for what's hers, and not let others take her credits, plus fight to have her own voice;

Eloise has the right to be upset Colin doesn't know the truth; Colin has the right to feel hurt and betrayed, also worried about how things may go. All of them can have emotions and be irrational and impulsive sometimes. But do not fret...All's Well that Ends Well.

Rewatched Ep 3 and 4 ( quite frankly, only Colin and Penelope scenes, together and apart) and i have to say: Luke Newton acted the shit out of S3 Episodes 3 and 4. In my opinion, he was as good as Nicola, and in that carriage scene i think he was better. And that's a really big praise i'm giving because Nicola is the best actress in the younger characters cast. Newton used his body language and his eyes extraordinarily, and all his reactions were raw and vulnerable. Subtle when needed and avoiding a quite easy road that would be overacting. It's all there and you believe he is that young man and his doubts, fears and love. I just had to say it because he's really been underrated.
