Dreams crushed. I have never gotten the chance to see a One Direction show live. My parents didn’t have the money for an Hotel, we couldn’t risk taking some days off just for a show. My 12/13 years old self would cry themselves to sleep knowing the fact that I missed every chance I could’ve gotten to live this dream. When the band broke up, I leant on the hope of seeing each of their solo careers bloom into something beautiful and being able to purchase tickets to see them all separately. Instead, I was drowning in debts, mental health issues and complicated relationships. Only this year did I pay every single pennies I owed. I crossed my fingers for a reunion, a tour, whatever it might be that could get me to see my boys live. The passing of Liam hurts the 9 years old me who idolized those boys, who loved them so deeply. He sure did some things no one should be proud of, but for YEARS he was the inspiration of many artists, so many dreamers around the WORLD.

I want people to understand that Directioners are grieving a man that’s been there with them for a great part of their lives. I never thought I’d be typing this so soon in my lifetime…

Here’s to a man that inspired us throughout our childhood.

Rest in peace Payno, you’ll always have a special place in Directioners’ hearts.

BRIDGERTON (2020 - ) | SEASON 3 PART 2 + Bridgerton Family

[gabeetiny]

Ok, here's why I didn't have a problem with Colin in Part 2. He was processing so many emotions.

1. This man is so in love with Pen, has been by his own admission, for a long time that he was completely blindsided by her secret. Colin is unhinged with his love on good days. Their confrontation was heated, but his devastation more than his anger was the focus. He loves her, and she's been lying. So, he lashed out and said things he didn't even believe because he couldn't process his feelings.

He gets to feel this way, imo. Penelope of all people knows him best and what he was going through, which is why she was so gently firm and understanding with him.

2. Once he processed the lie, then came the feelings of fear for her and them if Lady Whistledown was unmasked. It's a big deal if not handled right. (Book made a point of this, too) She doesn't quite have that fear, which pisses him off because anything could happen to his wife, and Colin is not having that shit. So they fight, and she stops him cold with her yelling her love at him, which leads to heavy petting session and his beginning to thaw.

3. He honestly can not understand why Penelope loves him. This one is really his own self-worth, which he has been wrestling with his whole life, but he looks at her, this amazing woman who apparently is one of the most influential people and he cannot grasp why she loves him. He doesn't understand that she loves the bones of him and he is afraid she can't love him they way he does her.

4. He wants to be her hero so badly because she is his. He doesn't realize he already is by just being him because he has never been enough before.

5. He literally wants her always, and no matter how mad he is, that doesn't change, so he needs to reconcile that.

Imagine you are Colin and having to process all of this in the span of like a week? It's a lot, friends. It's why Pen gives him so much grace but forces him to confront those feelings.

From where I was sitting, they handled all that really well.

will you excuse me while i go in a corner and cry

[gabeetiny]

shaking, crying, throwing up, giggling, kicking my feet, crying again, dying, screaming, hugging my pillow, CRYING.

i’m in love with them

I have known her a very long time. But, perhaps it did all happen rather... swiftly. (x)

[gabeetiny]

WHO

WHO

WHOOOOO?!

gave Nicola Coughlan the right to be this gorgeous?!?

[gabeetiny]

me: I watch Bridgerton for the plot

the plot:

[gabeetiny]

that's my fucking girl

[gabeetiny]

So you’re telling me that Penelope has survived literals YEARS watching the person she was in love with flirt with other people, but Colin barely lasted a WEEK tops before he was reduced to this

praising Violet Bridgerton

Violet Bridgerton spent the first two seasons telling her children who was good for them, dragging them, reluctantly, to balls and events and parties. And she saw that her normal methods were clearly not working and it would only result in a very long process of her children not listening to her, going after someone else, doing the complete opposite of what they should, causing a scandal and then finally going after the very same person who, she had told is right for them.

I love that she evolved her methods and reached the conclusion that the only way to make her children listen to her is by gaslighting them.

So instead of telling Colin, "You know, I think Penelope Featherington is right for you". She told him, "Oh you're helping your friend get a husband? That's wonderful darling." "Oh you don't want to come to the ball? That's completely fine. It's just a shame that you won't get to see Penelope Featherington get proposed tonight, after all the hard work you did to help her. But what can you do if you're not feeling well, right?"

People: Why the hell is Colin pretending to be a rake? That’s so icky. That’s so not him. What ever could be the reason?!

Season One:

Colin: I’m a man in love and I want to get married. 🥰😍

Anthony: You’re so green. Is this about wetting your wick? 🙄

Season Two:

Colin: I’m a man who wants to find my way in the world. I want to invest. 😁💪

Anthony: What the hell do you think you’re doing?! 😡❌

Season Three:

Colin: I’ve changed my entire personality. Women love me. Men are envious of me. People think this version of me is so fun. 😎🪭😕

Anthony: I invited you for a drink to congratulate you on your many admirers! You’re a man! 🥳🎉

Colin’s character is the perfect study of the pressures of masculinity and external/societal validation.

-promise that I'll love you plenty.
