im just so sad for nicola and luke... they have consistently talked about how much work they put into this season, the long hours, the love they have for these characters they've lived in for 4 years... i hope they're seeing the good things in the midst of all this bs
having to sit here and accept that ppl will just never understand colin bridgerton and how good he is as a romantic lead. how open, and honest, and vulnerable he is. how he's perfect for the girl he ends up with. just gotta be okay with that 🥲
still mourning the fact that the balloon scene had no good conclusion like for what it's worth it's fun to watch and everything but no polin talking to each other after? no colin seeing debling with pen?? NOTHING?
"except for his own personal stakes in the situation, colin knows and understands pen to her core, maybe more than anyone else. he knows that a loveless marriage isn't what she wants nor what she deserves"
BANGERRRRRRRRRRR
Just so obsessed with the subversion of expectations that this would be Penelope’s dream. The show really encapsulated the essence of Romancing Mister Bridgerton where a single kiss changed Colin’s life completely
polin youtuber au where colin is a famous youtube vlogger and little by little his viewers realize his house is filling up with stuff that he wouldn't really use himself? hair rollers, eyelash curler, stacks of books (he famously uses a kindle when reading bc he travels alot)

"i have spent so long trying to feel less"
makes me feel insane. colin forcing himself to avoid his feelings and tamper his emotions just to fit in and the ppl around him eating that up. the armor was this close to rusting, but his love for pen saved him
my biggest gripe w/ the balloon scene is that the way it ended didn't really stick the purpose of it. i still stand by the fact that colin and pen should have interacted with each other in SOME capacity to subtly show their worry and thirst for each other in that moment
plz plz pplz plz plz someone put nic in a romcom where she wears a bunch of cute sundresses and mini skirts and platform heels and please pleaew se pelase peslease pleaes
obsessed w/ modern au polin fics where pen and eloise are sitting in their shared apartment talking about colin and colin suddenly walks in, back from his latest trip abroad, and pen's soul leaves her body
polins literally have some of the best fan created content i've seen; the fics are so well written and engaging, the fanart is amazing, the twitter discussions are always so fun like say what you want about polins but dont act like we dont have fun over here lmao
8 months since i got into bridgerton and started liking polin, i haven't calmed down since like if anything i like them even more now.. how long is this going to last omg
this supports my theory of him not having been present when the dress mishap happened bc he was late to the ball --> he didnt know why she was so upet --> finds out the next morning in lw
"i dont believe colin fell in love with penelope that quick" dude was shaking in his sheets every night, having the most gut-wrenching dreams about her (for atleast two weeks from what we can tell) what is there to not believe 😭
this being their first time seeing each other after exchanging letters for months, those same letter that later were the key to healing their relationship 😭
obsessed w/ how good his styling was this season and how they perfectly showed his growth from 'boy' to man between s2 and 3 like at the least they did that for him
colin spent a solid 4 episodes, atleast, being madly in love with penelope and a mere 1.5 being upset at her and ppl want to paint him as a villain like what the fuckjwe;wefmewf
will link the original post in the replies, it's long but a really good read but this part especially is how i have been feeling
"seriously. your minds have been rotted by insta-love and enemies to lovers that you can't even appreciate the innate beauty of friends to lovers."
one of my fave things about the first kiss scene was that penelope put aside all her fears and asked one of the people she trusts most in her life for that kiss. i know alot of ppl see it as her "begging" but i feel like that's such a shallow, one dimensional take on it.
luke's eye acting during this entire scene is so fucking good. it's not even colin's main love declaration and it's one of my favorite confessions ever. so beautiful
leave her the fuck alone. i cannot imagine having the audacity to get on her internet and make shit up about her knowing she could see it. HAVE SOME SHAME AND TACT PLEASE?????
ngl i was nervous about how they'd deliver certain book lines on screen bc i always pictured them done in a certain way/tone but luke really killed every line they gave him out of the book. like it was PERFECT
just typed "nicola coughlan predebut" into google images bc i wanted pics of her from her earlier acting days before realizing that's not how things work on this side of fandomfjwefmwemmfe
if someone's issue is "they didnt have chemistry" or "they didnt make me believe that colin loves penelope" or anything along those lines i already know what u are and what underlying biases u have and i hope u have a terrible day 😃
saying nasty shit about other women in the name of defending n*c, when there is no proof of the specific type of comments ppl are saying that person liked is 😕
idc that ppl dont like colin (i kinda do but whatever) bc i do agree the show could have gone deeper w/ his character to address more of who he is and what propels him, but to compare him to simon or anthony and say he sucks in comparison? you've lost me
alternate thought: pen is also popular youtuber and ppl start clocking that things that are normally pen's vids start popping up in col's and vice versa
whoever wrote the "i do not blame you for putting on armor lately. but be careful that the armor does not rust and set so that you might never be able to take it off" line needs to be win a nobel prize or smth
@venusjmi
thinking about how his previous intimate relations w/ ppl were probably done on autopilot but w/ pen it's deliberate and he's so tuned in to her🥺🥺
everyone's like ??? in the comments but no one goes further than a joke here and there, and some ppl trying to connect the dots, until one day he posts a video titled "my wife" and everyone's like !!!
colin saying “i thought it was MY fault!” during the lady whistledown reveal scene felt like a punch to my gut bc they spent post carriage up to that point showing us colin feeling anxious that pen might not want to go thru with it after all. and then for that to come crashing
nicola's acting range is insane... teen sitcom... regency era romance... dark comedy drama... and now children's fairytale??? she is leaving no stone unturned and i love that for her
seeing the convo about s3 being overtaken by the idea of "deleted scenes" and that petition is so sad. everywhere you look it's "they ruined it by deleting those scenes!!". that's so unproductive. instead of taking s3 for what it is the attention is elsewhere
one thing i love about polin is even if colin didnt have romantic feelings for pen until s3, it still doesn't negate the importance and impact of him adoring her as a friend. i think in alot of ways loving someone as a friend is just as important, if not more meaningful than as a
thinking about colin willing to lie to his family for pen and pen watching him during fran's wedding and knowing she could never put him through that... my lovesick babies i miss u
