Hero Complex Colin - Tumblr Posts

Colin Bridgerton isn’t the best and sweetest and kindest guy because he never does anything wrong, he’s the best and sweetest and kindest guy because of how he acts when he realizes he messed up. Green flags only.

Making mistakes, saying something stupid or careless, relationship conflict etc- it’s normal, it happens to everyone. But it’s how you react to those mistakes that speak to your character. Two seasons in and we’ve already seen that Colin is always accountable for when he feels like he hurt someone, even when it’s not his fault, and goes out of his way to try to make amends. He’s also not stubborn, he doesn’t drag his feet when it comes to apologizing, and he doesn’t double down just because he can’t stand to be wrong.

When he realizes how much he hurt Penelope no one is going to make Colin suffer as much as Colin is going to make himself suffer, because he won’t take it lightly or blow off Penelope’s concerns. Even the way he tries to fix Penelope’s problem shows his ability to take responsibility and try to partner with her to find a solution (even if the solution is just…marry her yourself Colin!!!).
