Since we can’t know exactly how the show plans to have Polin’s story play out, I was thinking if they do intend to make Colin jealous, how fun would it would be to have, “Single Ladies, (Put A Ring On It)” playing at a ball while Penelope’s denying Colin a dance or ignoring him altogether.

I have a whole Polin inspired playlist I WISH I could share with whoever selects the music for the show… instead I’m sharing it here.

Phil Colin’s “Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) is another great song for Polin while Colin feels disconnected from Penelope and is missing her. There’s a reason this song is a classic.

Before we get our, “I miss my wife,” moment.

I need to hear Colin say, “I miss my Pen.”

The fact that some people can be disgusting towards Nicola and Luke for playing tv characters is pathetic. If you got nothing good to say then keep your ish to yourself. People hating on them for getting payed to play tv characters based on a book.

A gentleman and his lady

Omg, she finally gets her fitting

Penelope’s green dress was the symbolic blending of house Bridgerton and house Featherington. It was an indication of Colin and Penelope’s love story.

My favorite color on her. She looks beautiful here

Penelope about to turn Colin Bridgerton into a stalker

This is my favorite moment because the change from the insecure Penelope towards the confident, mischievous Lady Whistledown is brilliant. Nicola is bloody brilliant with her portrayal of both sides to Penelope.

That smirk though

I hope Nicola and Luke know that they are loved and appreciated by fans who follow them. Can’t imagine Colin and Penelope without this two

Am still over the moon about Colin and Penelope getting their time to shine.

my man colin looked at penelope like finn wolfhard looks at roles about bi/gay coded boys who are tragically in love with their best friends and people dare to say they have no chemistry whatsoever smh

I sometimes see certain things in the polin tag that leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. like, people complaining that this new season is about polin and not benophie (when it makes sense, because polin has already been laid out by previous seasons and Sophie is yet to be introduced, so it makes sense they’re gonna laid it out for benophie to happen next season) or saying that since Kate and Anthony weren’t the main characters of their own season, they hope to see other storylines shadowing polin so we all can know how it feels (which is something both cruel and rather childish to say). 

also, why do people hate Penelope so much? she’s a complex character, she has done rights and wrongs and that’s okay, that’s realistic. is any of the Bridgerton characters perfect? no, not at all. but for some reason, some people out there want to see Penelope punished for “what she did”, and the preferred form of punishment seems to be not getting her happy ending with Colin. characters don’t have to be divided into heroes and villains. they can be complex, they don’t have to be perfect examples of good and evil. Anthony did some very questionable things in season 1, just like Daphne and Simon. And now they seem to be some of the fan favourites. I just wonder what is it that when it comes to Penelope, people want to see her being punished so badly (I do have a few answers for my own question, but well). let’s remember Marina was consciously tricking Colin into marrying her and nobody here seems to be mad at that. people seem to understand that it wasn’t nice, but she did what she had to do. I wish the same understanding was given to Penelope too.

and lastly… people saying that this season better not be charged with sexual tension and explicit scenes… because they cannot picture Penelope having sex? Penelope and Colin deserve to have their season full of the same yearning, passion and intensity that other ships got and will get in the future. They deserve to have a good season, even if you’re uncomfortable with the idea of a plus size character being worshiped and desired (and don’t even say it’s because Penelope is too innocent, she’s not. She’s proven multiple times how complex and witty and mature and smart she is, and she’s the same age as Eloise and I’ve never seen anyone say this about Eloise).

With the first Monday in May comes The Met Gala. This year’s theme is the second part of 2021’s theme IN AMERICA. The first year was the Lexicon of Fashion, this year’s theme “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” had a mission statement of celebrating the “ storytelling and a historical context (of fashion), starting with the development of American fashion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the emergence of an identifiable American style and the rise of the name designer.” The dress code was "gilded glamour and white tie.”

Of course nearly everyone just did whatever the hell they wanted to do.
