I was reflecting on Violet's talk about Colin's sensitive nature and made me think that truly he's a bit of a loner in their home, isn't him? It's like he is the one that needs to keep on trying and when he does something for himself, he's questioned, belittled or ignored. When Colin was thinking that he should marry and forge his own way, Anthony shut him down by simply saying he should have taken him to brothels... and there you go, folks, where Colin's example of how a single man should behave comes from. The brother he admires, told him that, and made he believe that's what a man of their position should behave at his age. Maybe if he does, if he acts like them, he's going to find his own path & find his own happiness. When Colin travels, he keeps writing home, wanting to communicate with his family and loved to hear back from them, and also because he really loves to write - and is good at it -, but they rarely if ever ( some) do. And that's why he was always happy that Pen did, as he was mostly ignored and even mocked for that, they were being quite dismissive of him. We know how he also doesn't truly feel like he belongs and that's one of the reasons he went away, run away. Sure, he loves to travel but we know it's also to free himself of the whole 'Colin Bridgerton' he thinks he should be. When Colin tries to make something, do business of his own, but is something out of his depth as he was never prepared for it - Anthony was the heir to the title and older, likely was taught by his father some things already and maybe Colin and Benedict would too but had no time and Anthony never guided him that way, it seems - he was screamed at and, once again, thought he had truly no purpose. Losing his father way younger than Anthony was a huge trauma too. As much as Violet is a good mother, in that context, losing his father put him without a fundamental support and counsel a young men would need at that time, specially on his late teens and young men years. Still, he's very sweet, a soft guy who worries about his family, just look at every situation that he truly is there wanting to support, a romantic and quite naive in the matters of emotions. A kind guy who always wants to make others happy and defend people when he thinks they are being taken advantage of, were wronged or need his help just to feel happy. And yet the only person that actually has always ever done that for him, in every aspects - attention, protection, love, interest and engaging on his life -, is Pen, his kindred spirit.

The fact that it's canon that Violet met the love of her life after getting covered in flour by him and laughed at and Colin met his after getting covered in mud and laughed at by her is just weirdly hilarious to me

penelope is stronger than colin because she was able to hold all that ache in for years, meanwhile colin pined for her for weeks and was already so alcoholic and lonely and on the brink of just fully falling apart. she really might have fallen first, but boy did he fall harder. never change colin bridgerton

I feel like so many people get catered to with the bad boy archetype being everywhere in the media that they can not even imagine that some people think the sexiest thing a man can be for a woman is a down bad pathetic loser. Just weak and desperate. Colin Bridgerton was on his knees, tears in his eyes BEGGING for chance.

Less bad boys, more soft men, thank you.

god i hate how normalized diet culture and shit like bmi and calories are. bmi is based on eugenics. calories are a measurement of how much energy something gives u and not at all of how much weight or fat ull gain. diets have been proven to be harmful and ultimately unhelpful in actually losing weight. fatness has been largely proven to not be inherently unhealthy and doesnt inherently cause health issues.

if anyone has more good links to add on then please do and if anyone knows more on this stuff than me then dont hesitate to correct me!

TRAILER : Bridgerton Season 3 pt. 2

What really sold me on this character arc for Cressida and the Cressida/Eloise relationship is when she’s confronted with the opportunity to spread gossip about Penelope getting assistance from Colin, but actively chooses not to. You can see her considering the opportunity to ruin someone she views as a rival, but ultimately decides to say nothing and walk away. What’s most important is how all this comes after Eloise calls her out for her cruel behavior towards the other ladies- Penelope in particular. Cressida literally tries to be a better person for Eloise and while that certainly wasn’t on my Bridgerton bingo card, I’m all for seeing how it plays out.

i'll tell you what i really loved, that nod of consent from penelope before colin put his hand up her dress. consent is sexy. very sexy.

I love that they kept The Kiss. It was the moment in both the book and the show where Colin had a life epiphany while Penelope mentally prepared herself to let go of Colin forever.

The beauty of it is that when she thought she could be ready to resign herself to a life without him, she did the one thing that made him realize he could never let her go.

There is a question I have been needing to ask you.
