Thank you and God bless.

Queen Charlotte Opinion-

I was actually happy that Queen Charlotte used makeup on the actor that plays lord Danbury to make him unattractive. I know they got criticism for it, but I think of it like a safety measure. He plays an unlikeable character, and the Bridgerton audience is VICIOUS and shallow about the physical appearance of characters they don’t like, which is often the actual appearance of the actor. And maybe it’s mostly in the petty ship war side of the fandom, but there’s this “well im only calling the character ugly” attitude but like…that character shares a face with the person who plays them. By using prosthetics/makeup, they create a level of separation between the character and the actor, because the actor is a good looking guy.

He’s also not the only dark skinned Black man in the series- Will Mondrich has been hot since season one (RIP shirtless boxing scenes) and Marcus Anderson has been brought on as a hot love interest for Violet. It’s just this one man, and it’s only for a character they knew would attract hate.

Random thoughts on Colin & Portia:

I loved watching how the “neighbor boy,” Portia Featherington assumed was a typical rakish gentleman, out of reach and unrealistic for Penelope to like:

Declared his love for her daughter assuredly, fervently and loudly to make sure nobody dared question that he wanted to marry her.

Defended Penelope fiercely even against her own mother to make clear that mistreating or disrespecting his woman would not be tolerated.

Discovered Penelope was Lady Whistledown (after he himself said no one would ever marry LW because she would bring ruin on her family) but not only did he not end the engagement despite being upset with Penelope about it, he married her anyway and his vows were undeniably heartfelt and sincere, he gave her a wedding ring which was not necessary or common practice at the time apparently (Daphne just got the one ring from Simon), and he danced with her in broad daylight at their wedding breakfast (rather romantically).

He was immediately furious the second he heard that someone would dare blackmail his wife, and not only would he not stand for it, he immediately acted (however misguidedly he did so) intending to protect Penelope and when the situation escalated, he was willing to lie to his family and pay a fortune to keep her safe.

And much to Portia’s surprise, he took accountability for his part in making things worse when he could have blamed everything on Penelope.

Then Colin supported Penelope’s choice about how to handle the LW situation and when she revealed herself to the ton.

When Penelope offered him an annulment to free himself of association with Lady Whistledown, he insisted he was lucky just to be with her because he loved her.

Then Colin danced with Penelope, clearly sending the message to the ton that he loved and supported his wife. Lady Whistledown did not trap him nor would he be turning his back on her. This was our first glimpse of Colin “My Wife” Bridgerton.

Colin gave Penelope a son, and the Featherington estate the heir they so desperately needed, and Colin will no doubt raise her grandson to be a man of honor, elevating the formerly mocked and disrespected Featherington family to a level of respectability on par with the Bridgertons.

As if that weren’t enough, Colin continues to support Penelope as a wife and mother, encouraging her passion for writing/working.

That Bridgerton neighbor boy single-handedly made his mother-in-law, a justifiably jaded cynic, believe in love.

I cannot wait to see their relationship in future seasons.

Colin canonically being the brother who smuggled hallucinogenic drugs into England but Benedict being the one to get the druggie reputation in modern au fan fic is hilarious. Colin really can get away with murder.

He’s always a travel journalist or something in fanfics, where he’s doing a responsible job it’s just disrespected and not considered grown up or settled by his family. But if you truly wanted to replicate his energy Colin would not be a travel writer/influencer/blogger yet, he’d just be traveling aimlessly and getting high on local drugs and possibly getting caught holding something for a friend. Like…my baby boy Chaos Colin would be caught at international customs with a bag of something and getting bailed out of jail. 🤣

This is just Colin straight up being a bad influence.
