If There's One Thing I Need From Part 2 Is Colin And Penelope Having The Time Of Their Lives At A Ball.

yk what it's actually pretty sad that no one can relate to James Potter like I relate to James potter, and the fandom rlly doesn't give him enough credit

"Colin had no trauma related to love and self worth like Anthony. Anthony watched his father die, watched his mum turn into a ghost of a person, and didn't want that for his wife"

Bestie. . .they have. . .the same dad???? They have the same mum???? Literally all of the Bridgerton children except Hyacinth watched Edmund die? They all experienced Violet's immense sorrow? He and Violet obviously have a very close connection and so of course he saw her wilting (plant pun, if you were wondering) or at least knew about it and has responded with being particularly gentle with her?

Trauma shaped all the Bridgertons. Colin was a young boy when his dad passed and everyone in the family experienced an immense grief and, unlike his brothers, Colin was twelve, he wasn't the heir, he wasn't the spare, and had no responsibility but to go to school (sent off elsewhere after his dad passed away, thus disconnected from his circle of support and family) and figure out how to be a man from strangers and rakes. Literally no one had space for his grief and sensitivity? He even cries alone in his bedroom in Season 1 and stops talking about his travels after he gets made fun of in Season 2 and claims that hardly anyone replied to his letters in Season 3 like what do you mean he has no trauma related to love?

Colin was right there on the steps watching his father cradled in his mother's arms as she wept over his sudden passing. Of course he has trauma related to love? Colin's entire arc was about how he only felt he could be cared about if he was pleasing the people around him or being useful in some way and putting on a mask and a persona so he wouldn't be hurt by how much no one else wanted the real, messy, authentic him around? His mum and dad lived a love story and Colin watched it fall to pieces just as all the Bridgertons did, he just internalized it differently. His entire family was grieving so he decided to be useful by offering levity where he could, especially as the brother raised predominately with his sisters, Eloise and Daphne.

And yet despite the fact that this was such a huge tragedy of his childhood, Colin still is incredibly emotionally available and as soon as he realized what he felt for Penelope was romantic, he takes initiative and he cuts into her dance with Debling and he chases after her carriage so he can confess that he can't stop thinking about her and he's not at all angry at her, she doesn't vex him, it isn't frustration at her- it's torture because he is so damn besotted with her that he dreams of her and the kiss they shared haunts him but it's torture he embraces because he's a romantic soul who is incredibly emotionally brave and he cares about Penelope more than he cares about his ego or image or past hurts.

Give my man his flowers.

i looked like I haven't slept in 3 days while doing heroine the whole time while also being like a crazy celebrity that is on their last straw

but it's okay cause thats the vibe

and we only got one of the hundred kisses in this book. Crime.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THIS CORIOLANUS SNOW?

it’s really just the girlies and their little bands consisting of four men against the world at the end of the day

based on how i reacted to midnights specifically YOYOK two years ago im scared for the visceral reaction that im gonna have to TTPD but im excited for the immense comfort the album is (hopefully) going to bring me

for the ask game can u do 22 n 20?

22 "How do they apologize after arguments?"

I feel like when they argue they get apologize within like an hour like, they could have been screaming for 15 minutes straight and in 15 minutes apologize and go on as they were

But I think that when the apologizing part is happening, they're really open with each other and say exactly what caused them to react a certain way, and what are their sorry about.

And then there's just a lot of hugs happening.

20 "What clothes/accessories do they steal from each other?"

Gwen is the #1 clothes stealer. Her wardrobe is basically 1/4 clothes that are actually hers, and 3/4 miles' clothes that she "borrowed", when miles is in her dimension, he "borrows" them back, and then gwen looks for his shirts or hoodies, and realising they're in miles' room again, she goes to him "forgetting" any clothes other than her spider suit, and then the cycle continues.

Miles on the other hand, always takes really random things, like scrunchies or pins, sometimes bandanas (Gwen still somehow didn't notice) 'cause he wants to have her things around his room, or on his clothes.

Thanks for the question :p

YESYESYES

yk what i would lowkey kill for?

ghostflower first kiss but one of them nearly dies before it happened. like that scene in the hunger games catching fire (fuck here i go again-) where katniss kisses peeta after his heart stopped for a minute and then it worked again.

I WOULD KILL-

Two separate times 😭
