What if Jere gives Bojan his slutty white shirt back, I don't think my poor JO heart can handle seeing Bojan in that shirt again

Some visuals I would like to see in season 3 (that we definitely won't see):
Episode 1: We see a shot of a full-length mirror in Colin's bedroom. Colin, dressed formally for a ball, walks into the frame. He puts on his coat, adjusts his cravat, and takes a good look at himself. Still not quite satisfied, he lets out a deep sigh, puts on one of his charming smiles, and then winks at himself. From there, we immediately cut to another shot of a mirror. This time in Penelope's bedroom. Penelope is already in-frame. She's in her ballgown (still a dress of her mother's choosing), but it's covered by her purple cape. Trying to shake off some nerves and insecurities, she lets out her own deep sigh. She puts up her hood and swiftly walks out of frame, off to do some Whistledown business.
Episode 2 or 3: During one of Colin and Penelope's confidence lessons, we get a shot of a mirror with Colin pulling Penelope into the frame with him. He's trying to build her up and they're making each other laugh while doing so. They've become quite comfortable being alone together at this point. Penelope is now in a dress she picked out for herself and at some point during the lesson, she removes her gloves. Colin's coat is off, his cravat is slightly loose, and his sleeves are rolled up. The goofy grin on his face is more genuine than the charming mask we saw in episode 1.
Some Episodes Later (the start of the mirror scene/Colin and Pen's first time): Penelope walks into the frame first. She's wearing her nightdress with her robe open. Colin walks into the frame behind her. His shirt is on but fully unbuttoned. He kisses down her neck, murmuring all of the little things he loves about her, and she slowly starts to disrobe herself. He helps her. And when she turns around to kiss him, she starts helping him remove his own clothes.
I've been thinking a lot recently about how we're probably not going to get the love confession with them laying naked in bed (for various reasons). That also got me thinking about how the show could still convey that level of vulnerability through the use of mirror symbolism (something we are likely to see utilized in season 3). I love that when they confess their love for one another they're literally and metaphorically stripped down to their most honest forms. There's no hiding behind their armor anymore. With the benefit of tv being a visual medium, I think there's an even larger opportunity to convey not only their love for each other through mirrors but the journey of self-love they will have gone on as well.
There's no chance my idea makes it onto the screen, but anything with these kinds of vibes would make me happy.

I was far too calm at the thought of an arranged marriage/marriage of convenience in my late teens to have been anything but on the aromantic spectrum.
Would I marry today though? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Probably wouldn’t do arranged and planned out for me given the issues I had with a couple different pressured relationships filled with expectation, but a convenient marriage? Hmmm 🤔 I guess it would depend on the convenience and the living situation.

Shadows
When I show you my truest self
Will you look at me the same?
Would you be afraid
When I reveal my darkest secrets?
Honey, will you try to fix me?
Like all those before you
Or will you accept me for myself?
What will you do love
When I come out of the shadows?

sometimes, it's in the quiet moments, a shared glance over morning coffee, where love whispers the loudest, saying everything in a silence that's comfortably loud with 'us'.

Hang on a minute. Could it be that Joker Out's third album will be called "See You Soon"?

Happiness Does Not Wait
"Who said anything about a quest, child?" Amphitrite asked, laughter in her voice. It reminded Percy of Kymopoleia's, much to his discomfort. He hardly had good memories of his godly sister.
“Gods don’t tend to want anything else from me,” Percy pointed out dryly. “You lot always want something.”
“Of course I want something,” Amphitrite said, voice awash in amusement. “I want you to come to Atlantis,” she continued, cutting him off right as he was about to speak. She started to walk again, bypassing throngs of gaping students. She was hiding her divinity, but she still looked so much more than human. “As I said, your father misses your presence. And he is incredibly irritating when he sulks.”
Or, Percy spends some time with his godly stepmother, much to his bafflement.
