Literally Matching Each Others Freaks On The Regular And People Still Feel Like They Have To Put One Down To Praise The Other - Tumblr Posts

I don’t understand defending either member of the Polin ship by throwing the other under the bus.

This goes for the characters or whatever, but mainly the actors. Their friendship has been such a joy to watch over the promo cycle, it seems so negative to defend Nicola from body-shaming hate by saying Luke isn’t attractive (especially since he’s also being viciously appearance-shamed in a way that very few people are taking seriously) or defend Luke by saying Nicola won’t let him talk and takes over interviews for attention. They obviously work really well as a team and support each other, and look good doing it! Their dynamic works on screen with chemistry off the charts, and their off-screen promo has been non-stop fanservice from BOTH of them.

This pairing and these actors have been the punching bag of the Bridgerton fandom for too long for people to start using them to punch each other.
