Whats The Point Of Having Different Stories If All The Men Are The Same - Tumblr Posts

Emotionally unavailable bad boy archetypes have had women in a chokehold for so long, I think we need love stories of men like Colin to heal us at this point.

Penelope fell in love with a good, nice man because that’s what she needed, and she had good taste for herself. She needed a man like Colin who can be kind, affectionate, compassionate, empathetic, and vulnerable and FUN. It might take him a minute to sort out his feelings, but once he knows his thoughts he’s decisive and open and doesn’t withhold just to be stubborn or cold. His love and confidence in her helps build her up, and in turn, her ambition and talents inspire him to make something of himself.

That’s what I want to see. I’ve been sold the “fantasy” of having to fix a broken man or of taming a bad boy for so long. I just want something different. Colin is going to be the breath of fresh air in between rakes and bad boys.

Let me tell you this fandom does not deserve Colin Bridgerton.

I’m so tired of seeing him being compared to previous leads, and saying that he’s never gonna be better than them. Why are you so insecure about the characters that you like that you have to make it a competition?

I don’t want Colin to be anything like the previous leads because that isn’t true to who he is. He doesn’t need to be a rake or dark or broody to be interesting.

Penelope says herself the thing that attracts her to Colin in the first place is his kindness. He’s just a sweet charming guy who is a little oblivious. Why do y’all literally need to see the same archetype of guy every season?

I am so excited to see Colin and Luke Newton in this season, and I am not going to shut up about it ever
