Colin Bridgerton Wardrobe Statistics 🧵
Hello all, welcome to the Waistcoast edition of the statistical analysis of Colin Bridgerton's wardrobe!
Today we will be looking at every waistcoat Colin wears in the show and how often he wears them.
@dontblameklara
@eboyanti
If I were Ed, I'd be pulling every Glee Mashup out as evidence that two songs that don't sound anything alike can still mesh well into one song
Still the most shocking thing this show ever did was highkey imply that if Pen married Debling, she and Colin would have an affair and that it was viewed as inevitable, like damn 😳
#PolinWeekRewatch
The show literally went out of it way to show what Whistledown would be if someone like the Cowper's wrote it, it would be mean and vindictive and without basis
Penelope was never cruel in her words, in fact the person she was most cruel to was herself.
@taylorisloved13
It is likely that she spends a lot of her time in the UK now, which has strict laws about paparazzi, thanks to them playing a part in the death of Princess Diana
@katiectalksalot
Because they haven't actually read the book and just regurgitate things told to them whether true or not. They heard pen lost weight and went "must be skinny now" even though the book still states otherwise
@CarineK
So many people don't realize the Fearless isn't her first album so I'm not shocked. They think she exploded on to the scene overnight, ignoring the grind she did to get her name out there with that first record
Colin looks so good in that outfit with the goatee, like probably his best look in s2
...and then there's Pen whose bows in this scene give me nightmares to this day. She looks like a child's doll 😭😭
If Julia Quinn was smart, she and Shonda should pair up to write and publish show!Colin's journal, including all his thought about Penelope lol. I'd buy it
@blessedswifty
Taylor's reaction makes a lot of sense in hindsight now that we know about her ED. Of course, she would be defensive about weight and slime body types at that time.
Colin just shouting "Pen!" in front of all the mamas and shoving those men out of the way lol... i wonder how many people learned they were engaged and looked back at these moment and wenr "well, makes sense"
#PolinWeekRewatch
#they
put out multiple "pr" statements trying to distance themselves from the disgusting hate and fatphobia their fandom spewed for the last two years and it didn't take a day before they were back on that bullshit... just goes to show how performative those statements were
@my_old_scarf
The whole reason his Insta was banned was cause he was telling people exactly when she left and update them every step of the way. Like there's no need for all that if it is just about climate
Also, they do wonders for us deaf and hard-of-hearing fans who can have a hard time learning lyrics by audio alone. Lyric videos are a godsend and every artist should do them
@penbridgert0n
That while messy, drawn out and quiet, Colin's reaction to the Whistledown secret was so incredibly human.
Like he loves her but he's angry, frustrated, jealous, scared and he has to grapple with that. Just like a real person would.
You want hype, make it yourself. Create art and fics and gifs and social media au about them. Speculate on storylines, talk about leaks, etc.
You can't bully people into liking your ship or bully them to stop talking about theirs. Trying to do so will only make them stop caring
@Rach_elle619
Because they think accountability is based on public shaming/their opinion and not the person learning and growing... people are so quick to let one mistake define an entire person even when they've put in the work to amend for and acknowledge those mistakes
The Queen beefing with Whistledown entirely because of what Pen doesnt do, like it all started cause Pen didnt report on her garden party in s1 cause she wasnt invited lol
#PolinWeekRewatch
@steponmetay
@taylorswift13
She probably doesn't want to look like she is using serious political issues to promote her album.
If she speaks, people might take it that way
Every time I see this gif, I think about how the ton saw this kiss and probably realized that they were in love that very moment.
With love matches being so rare, it must have been so sweet to see two people who genuinely loved each other marry 🥹
The day people realize that Penelope's dresses in s3 are in fact an empire waist, she just has more boobs than the previous leads is the day I will know peace
They deliberately misplaced the bust line higher in s1 and s2 on her, s3 is how an empire waist should look on her body
@babywhistledwn
"Bad day for them" but we aren't the ones who spend a casting announcement day focusing on an entirely different couple that we claim to hate... like why we in your thoughts at all lol
You can have criticism of the costumes and not be fatphobic sure
But you cannot erase the fact that the person being called fatphobic called out the fact that they didn't like the silhouette on Penelope SPECIFICALLY when she had the same silhouette as the rest of the girls
And this is why I will never champion
#that
ship for a single second...
Their fans are so mean to Nic and Newts and they don't deserve the hatred that fandom spews towards them for absolute no fault of their own.
Fuck those fans and anyone who chooses to associate with them
they are two adorable couples of actors with a very different relationship, mine was meant to be a funny tweet without malice, but they continue, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
f*ck this fandom.
Just this year they were shitting on nic for taking a pic with Luke T bts of s3, saying shit like he was forced to take it
Only to turn around and use it as a height guide cause yerin might be close to her height
when your fandom is the one who made nicola delete her video in 2022 where she asked people to stop sending her hate because she is NOT penelope. but polins are the crazy ones who spread hate okay
@sassygayroot
I thank them for their service, especially since it added proof that this wasnt a Taylor only issue and had happened before and TM had still done nothing to fix it
@tslove1389
I wonder if this is part of her grammy strategy, showcase everyone who was involved in the album. Because AofY goes to everyone who worked on an album so this could be Taylor saying dont focus on me and my two wins, look who else worked on this and deserves the award. 1/2
It is sad that 20 years later, Colin Bridgerton is still right. Just because Penelope isnt the ideal standard of beauty, everything she does is villianized
@moonar1es
Or when they try to downplay their fandoms' history of being utterly vile to him for the last two years by trying to pin it all on polins
Like no, I was there. I watched you guys bully 3 actors off of Twitter by being absent vile to them
@scnsualpolitics
And all these think piece show is why she was named person of the year. Cause haters can't keep her name out of their mouths and just fuel more talk about her. It isn't just positive discussion that gets you on that list, it is overall discussion
BONUS - san waistcoat part 1
Colin appears sans waistcoat 9 times during s3, in varying stages of undress. Here is every time he appears without a waistcoat, for your viewing pleasure
Top Left: 3x01
Top Right: 3x02
Bottom Left: 3x03
Bottom Right: both 3x04
Talking about another ship is not an "attack" on the leads, no one has to care about a ship if they don't want to.
You know what is a "blatant attack" on the leads. Being rude and nasty about their appearance, acting, etc and bullying them off of here due to a production choice
On S5 enthusiasts, I get the general excitement but I can't help but feel like it's a blatant attack on S4 leads.
Because there is no delay anymore. The timeline has always been on track for other leads except Ben.
Colin with his family: i lost count of how many places i went
Colin with Pen: i went to 17 cities this summer
Shes the only one he is willing to be open with at this point 😫😫🥺
#PolinWeekRewatch
Controversial opinion: if you stop liking a ship *just* because the plot around the ship changed in adaptation, then you werent really a fan of the ship.
You liked the tropes, not the characters
@RompRomance
I'm guessing all the long episodes are in the back half. The episode with the wedding feels like it should be like 70 mins at least.
I wonder if they did that cause they didn't need to introduce us to pen and colin unlike the others and the wd drama is where it is needed
@chaoticguitar
What does Colin say in response to Benedict at the beginning? My hearing impairment kicking my butt lol. I think he says “Lady Featherington… “ but after that I’m lost
