No but that's what makes the trope of she fell first he fell harder it's not the C will love Pen more than she loves him it's the fact that she knows how to deal with her feelings because she's had them for so long whereas this is all new to him so he's going to be unhinged
She lit the fire under his ass, bc she was gonna have pen be one of her daughters, and adopting her would be too complicated and besides she’s perfect for Colin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
bitches listen, colin bought the same pastry penelope ate cause he wanted to know what her mouth tasted like in that moment: THIS IS CANON.

Where do ppl get the idea from the books that pen became super skinny? While kissing her the first time Colin legit thinks “she was soft curvy and lush, just as he always thought a women should be” and then later after they are married she says “it’s not like I’m skinny now”
He was so disgusted bc they are shitty ppl and he’d rather spend his evening cuddling with Penelope or hanging with Will who is just as smitten with his wife than these losers. Iconic really
Colin deserved anger and hurt over pen being LW is gonna be soon overshadowed when he realizes the anger he feels doesnt even touch the love he has, and he’d rather work through whatever he’s feeling than loose Penelope bc he already lost her in a few different ways
Ya know why pen forgives Colin so fast? Bc his words are not empty things. He apologized before and meant every word. He took accountability and tried since then to be the friend she deserved. Colin is a good person and pen knows this. She isn’t weak for seeing him for who he is.
Even when he’s hurt confused jealous and even mad, he is still so happy he’s marrying her, bc he chose her and she chose him and in the end it will work out and right then none of it mattered bc this women he loves so much wants to marry him 😭😭😭😭
If Colin had taken 8 episodes to pine for pen, the haters would be like “it took too long” but it legit took him two full episodes to realize he wanted to be with pen and finding out she wanted him he wasn’t wasting any time… it’s too fast?
For those who say your faves won’t speak on Palestine bc it could hurt their careers… Nicola spent the entire 6 month promo of bton (and big mood/seize them) wearing her pin and constantly posting about it: and now she’s becoming even bigger: no excuse
"Bridgerton" star Nicola Coughlan surprised the "Doctor Who" Comic-Con panel to reveal she'll star in this year's Christmas special as Joy, "a determined woman whose life is changed forever when she meets the Doctor."
Just rewatched this scene with my bestie for our bton rewatch, and like.. we said the same thing. And this needs to be reversed in s3. I don’t want groveling Colin but we as a fandom and pen deserve a bit of pinning
Colin likes that pen sees through his mask bc he knows her. Colin hates whistledown bc he has no idea who whistledown is and how can someone he doesn’t know, see right through him?
He was like “imma court her.. wait why would I do that? We already know each other and I know there’s no one else for me.. imma marry her rn” and he’s valid for that
RMB is so funny to me bc the first half of the book is Colin being like “I’m shocked pen hasnt married, she’s nice, cute and fun person to be around and I enjoy it” the next half is all “omfg she could’ve ended up with someone else wtf” and that’s why I love goober!colin
Nah but she legit didn’t give him any attention and the next scene he was pouty with his brothers and then told him off at the ball and he went the very next day and basically begged for her friendship back and then left the women he was sleeping with to get to the market early
This STALKER
He was really pretending to care about flirting with other women please. That man waited for his opportunity to get her alone and all he wanted to hear was she missed him too and when she didn’t even smile at him he started to panic. He felt that distance 👀
Are you normal or do you often think about how Colin had to make sure pen was all good during their first time before he allowed himself to enjoy it… or is just me?
It’s so wild that people will bend over backwards to defend the worst men in fiction but have such a problem with Colin Fucking Bridgerton who is just a kind guy who is genuinely lost and trying to figure out his place in society.
No but he’s completely the type to sit in the tiny ass chairs in his girls room and have tea with them, they would put a crown on his head and call him princess daddy and he would 1000000% go along and feel so proud.
Colin bridgerton legit did everything the haters wanted him to do and they still hate him.
Wanted him to beg for forgiveness? ✔️
Acknowledge how pen has been there? ✔️
Be jealous? ✔️
Get on his knees to win her back? ✔️
At this point y’all just be hating bc you wanna hate
Wanna know why Colin/pens will/wont they isn’t dragged out? Bc that was never the real conflict in the books. It was LW and Colin being upset, then angry, then jealous and then protective. It was never about if they had feelings; it was always gonna be about LW
He treats her as if she is the most precious human ever and like.. she really is and I love that for her. He’s so tender so loving, and she deserves that
The hand cut scene is the one Colin thinks about when he realizes he has to tell Penelope how he feels, bc that small simple touch he felt more in than all the other women he’d slept with. Yes the kiss brought to the surface but when he looked back on it, that was the moment
I actually like that Colin isn’t a virgin in s3, bc it shows how ppl feel the pressure even now on their 20s to sleep around and if you don’t it’s “weird” but for deminsexuals it’s so much more than that, and it makes Colin realize that he is different and it doesn’t bother him
Colin really had his fantasy of pen start off with confessing his feelings and then hearing she felt the same and then he could kiss her.. if you ever need a confirmation that Colin is demisexual that was it
The contrast of being the most vulnerable he’s ever been bc yes with pen there’s so much to gain but also so much to loose if she doesn’t feel the same, to the second knowing that the women he wants so badly wants him just as much makes feel like a king I love them so much
Nicola has always been an advocate for queer people. She played a lesbian on derry girls, has gone to pride with jbailey… like… you just wanna hate her for breathing you suck
When Penelope calls Colin Mr. Bridgerton for the first time in s3. The pain man, the pain. The look on his wonderful stupid face... The heart break in her eyes but the steadiness of her voice
Nic speaks up for Palestine, it’s performative but you say nothing when your faves are quiet. She speaks about needing queer rep in bton and y’all act like it’s just cause her her season is done but hardly any of the same faves have done so. She can’t win and I am sick of you all
The way Jess did the pen/el falling out this season just confirms what I always suspected: CVD made a mess and she’s trying to clean it up. Bc el is still mad, but you can’t deny there’s still love for pen there in her heart and she tries to show it in some ways.
He really left bc he wanted to just spend time with Penelope bc that was more fulfilling than this and ppl wanna say he ain’t Demi like be so fcking for real
Colin legit thought “she was soft, curvy and lush, just as he always thought a women should be” and also “it’s not as if I am fashionably slender now” “I think your perfect” but I guess they didn’t read that part
I’d like to remind everyone that they had barely talked since the kiss bc pen wanted to put some distance as to not cause more scandal (but also in an attempt to move on) so in his dreams was the only time he could really see her, talk to her, kiss her, just be with her.
“feelings like dreaming of you when I’m asleep, and in fact preferring sleep bec. that is where I might find you”
CARRIAGE SCENE is THE greatest confession/scene 👏
this whole scene had me on chokehold, I have memorized every kiss, every moan, every line 🤌
#PolinWeekRewatch
if polin fans seem overly defensive over any sort of hate comments it’s because the actors of our ship were literally DRIVEN OFF this app because people couldn’t stop qrting and commenting on how much they hate the ship and no one cares.
@colbridgertons
And he would bc he is a nice guy and pens a little sister to them all. If Anthony wasn’t married and saw her feeling down he would too. They all like Penelope and don’t want to see her feeling bad.
No but he may not be in love with her (or depending on your belief) know it yet, but he clearly adores her and is always happy to see her. Bc she matters to him, bc she is important, bc she is special to him
This is so important bc he DOES love her, and will love her, and is trying to work out his feelings bc he knows she’s the one for him. He didn’t have to marry her. Pen would’ve let him even if she was heartbroken and made sure in LW he didn’t look bad. Colin chose Pen bc it’s her
This bish wouod set fire to London if it meant seeing pen smile and laugh like… he loves her and wants to make her happy even if it means being cheesy and a dork bc he knows she’ll love that about him
He told he first what he loved about her for who she was. Then how she made him feel, then his physical attraction to her. He did it all in from of a mirror which for most women is a cruel unforgiving place. A man idc what else to say they rest out there should pack it up
I’ll never forgive s2 for focusing so much on the enemies to lovers part of kanthonys story and not about the better part which was two people with trauma learning to deal with it and supporting each other through it through love
If you are pissed that Colin took so long to see Penelope as the beautiful sexy goddess she is.,.. I got news for you, no one hates him more for that than Colin himself.
If you think Colin should’ve slept with Penelope that night bc she looked sexy af and wasn’t ready to forgive her was him being “toxic” you need help. Yes in the moment pen would’ve been happy bc she felt vulnerable wearing something so reveling but the next morning would’ve+
No but she be dressing her new bestie like this bc she found out pen loved Colin bridgerton and he hurt her so she’s gonna torture him by making pen look even more gorgeous it’s true she told me
The criticism of Declan especially in S10 is 100% valid but the way he and holly j handled Clare's crush was so kind and sweet. They didn't make fun of her, holly j didn't threaten her, and Declan didn't lead her on. They had an open honest discussion w/o making her feel bad.
Colin really thought he could talk about friendship turning into love and his mom wouldn’t pick up on who he meant… like even if he didn’t look at pen after or approach her, she is only women you are friends with….. even if it wasn’t about her it would be assumed.
I ask you, if all Penelope wanted was to ruin marina, why didn’t she do it from episode 1? The moment Colin showed interest? She called her the catch of the season, making marina more desirable seeming, when it would have been in her best interest not to.
Colin, not wanting to court Penelope does not mean he doesn’t find her attractive. It simply means they are friends he does not see her in that way yet. I don’t really know why this needs to be explained but people are just finding made up reasons to hate on them and its stupid
No but this confidence is gonna go to hell when Penelope tells him off and he’s gonna become a desperate puppy trying to win her friendship back and then her heart (as if he hasn’t always had that) and I just love winking
@bitchwthebun
He was like “I slept peacefully and no dreams, especially not sexy ones about Penelope.. nope”
Benedict: “bro I just asked if you wanted toast..”
When ppl say “Colin didn’t even find pen attractive and now he does” shows me they don’t understand Demi sexuality, and it’s sad. So as someone is who Demi, imma gonna explain
No one is gonna hate Colin bridgerton more than Colin bridgerton for what he said to those douchebags in s2 finale. Even if he never falls in love with pen, she is important to him, he cares about her, and would never intentionally hurt her.
What is so funny to me is b4 this Debbers didn’t have a clue about polin nor did he probably know which bridgerton son Colin was (in order) and Colin has a whole beef with him like… dude Pookie your a dork
He was simping before the kiss, the kiss just made it all clear what he was feeling but he was for sure feeling stuff. Before the kiss and before Debbers
The fact Colin tells Penelope he loves her before they have actual sex means so much to me. Bc pen knew that Colin cared about her, would protect her, and desired her, but she wasn’t expecting love. And knowing that it wasn’t just physical for Colin but emotional too..

#Bridgerton
season 3!
“Them really enjoying their domestic bliss.” 🥹
She also talks about how excited she is for Polin fans in particular to watch Nicola and Luke.
As a fan I am more pissed off at Colin when marina said “you have Penelope” and he acted perplexed. Like… you are shocked that the person other than family who is always around and sends you letter when others don’t, is someone you make happy and cares about you?
Colin being a proud simp for his wife he needed to be around men who feel the same about theirs. Will and John are both simps and Benny doesn’t have Sophie yet and he might tease but he also wouldn’t be cruel. The old group was the douche crew, this is the simp squad
