“Allan, AllAn, AllAn! Allan with an A!” I scream into the void of Mike Flanagan fans that have recently turned Poe fans.

It’s a minor thing that annoys me so bad. Allan, not Allen. Poe hated the Allan’s anyway and rarely used that name in his personal correspondence unless the association benefited him. He mostly signed Edgar A. Poe, EAP, or just Edgar Poe.

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER (Netflix, 2023)

[nevermorered]

Aaaand that’s enough Polin fandom for me. Y’all are just sucking the joy out of something I do solely for enjoyment.

The sheer hypocrisy of everyone on each side of the argument is wild.

I love Polin, both Colin and Penelope. But I hate this fandom. For such a sweet wholesome couple this place is toxic as fuck. I’ll be watching Season 3 with excitement and maybe even write some fanfic still but I’m not staying in this community. ✌🏻

I don’t want to see Pen with Debling. I don’t want to see them touch or kiss or anything intimate. It has nothing to do with me not wanting her to have options. It means I ship Polin. I’m in it to see them together.

I also don’t want to see Colin touch or kiss or have a fucking threesome either. It doesn’t have to do with saving himself for Pen or kink shaming bullshit. I don’t want to see it for the same reason I don’t want to watch Pen with Debling.

Let him have sex, I don’t care. Let him have had threesomes foursomes and moresomes whatever I DONT WANT TO SEE IT! Mention it, allude to it, whatever just don’t fucking show me. Have him have a voyeur kink bc obviously he does but I still don’t want to see him jack it to two women who are not Penelope when we already spent one season listening to him wax poetic over his love for another woman.

I am ssooooo entirely over the tired and overused rake trope. Let Colin be soft and Demi. Let him learn intimacy alongside his partner, Penelope. Let that intimacy stem from a place of knowing and trusting each other like they can’t anyone else. Just for the love of Mother Earth, don’t make me sit through another whoring montage.

Penelope finds out Colin has been to brothels, but he's only ever watched. She wants to watch too and convinces him to take her. It’s supposed to be sexy and informative, but it ends up bringing old insecurities to the surface because the woman they are watching is beautiful...and looks nothing like Penelope.

Colin decides to show Penelope what beauty really is.

[nevermorered]

“I need you.” He heard himself saying, vaguely surprised at the utter rawness to his voice. Penelope froze for a moment, then her eyes flicked over to his, wide with confusion.

“What is it you need?” she asked, setting her needlework to the side and shifting to the edge of the sofa, ready to assist him with whatever he might need.

“You.” He simply said.

I had a visceral gagging reaction when I saw the Debling/Pen promos and I had the same visceral gagging reaction to Colin kissing that (frankly adorable) woman’s hand.

Stop touching/flirting with other people, damnit!

[nevermorered]

THIS is exactly what I want. They are friends! They love each other’s company! They can giggle like little kids together! BECAUSE THEY ARE FRIENDS THAT LOVE EACH OTHER! God I hope there’s more of this in season 3!

Also I don’t know who made this gif so if you did or know who did please let me know and I’ll gladly credit!

so. . .angry rant is angry

but

this is. . .the WEIRDEST fucking fandom I have EVER been a part of.

like. . .most other ships would be justifiably upset by a ship they were into that had 0 love triangles suddenly having not 1, but two. every ship I have been a part of has loved both their characters. every ship I have ever been a part of would be fucking FURIOUS that some random OC was created SPECIFICALLY to spite half the pairing.

and y'all were SO mad about Marina that hate fics are STILL being written about her, but y'all will slobber all over this white man OC like he's the best fucking thing that ever happened to Penelope, as if Colin, the guy who has cared about her without ANY expectation or pressure, is somehow The Worst. But let's hype up the OC. Yeah. Let's justify why it's GOOD, actually, that we got yet another triangle (sorry, HINGE, because if it was an actual triangle, Debling would be trying to get into Colin's pants, too!). One that is even more cozy than the S2 one was (what's the closest Anthony even GOT to Edwina? certainly not with his hand on her waist leaning in all up on her business).

Noooo, we need Pen to be DESIRED! We need Pen to be the DIAMOND! We ship Pen with OPTIONS!

I ship Pen with COLIN, though. And I thought that's what we were doing here, but evidently not, because all these posts? Not Polin. But they're tagged Polin. Pebling is a tag. Use it. Spare those of us who actually ship this pairing. Because we're MAD.

Debling didn't have to happen. His existence isn't good writing. He's there because Shonda doesn't even LIKE Colin, but she HAS to have Polin as endgame because they have such an enormous fanbase, and the backlash would be career ruining. They kept the season on the shelf for two entire years, have relegated one of our leads to the sidelines (don't even TRY to tell me they haven't shoved Colin off to the side), posted promotions of this OC/Penelope bullshit (half for rage-bait, congrats, I'm there, and half to appease all the fans who have talked shit about Colin for 2+ years), and we are EATING IT UP.

Oh, this fanbase HATES Colin. You can't convince me otherwise. Y'all have spent 2 years talking about how you want him to grovel for ONE STATEMENT, how he's the worst guy in the entire show because he's entitled and takes Pen for granted, you haven't talked about ANY of his good traits, you want him jealous, you want him punished, you want him miserable, and you want Pen to be rubbing it in his face. You don't even want these things for his GROWTH, but instead for Penelope to have 'vindication'. His own love story isn't even about him. Some of y'all out here like 'oh, Colin's off screening doing something dumb in that still'. Flooded the POLIN tag with other Pen pairings, talked down to people who actually like Colin and have been concerned about him having a storyline or proper promotion (which he has no real evidence of getting, the man isn't even on the POSTER), say this is. . .what? retribution? for when Colin was interested in someone in S1, except, hm, oh yeah, NO ONE WAS ASKING FOR COLIN TO DO THAT!! No one was out here like 'Hope Marina makes Penelope sooooo jealous that she just HAS to step in and have him for herself'. No one was out here fucking SHIPPING THEM. But y'all are. In our tag. Without any push back.

AND IT WASN'T EVEN HIS STORY!!! It became PEN'S! Pen pining. Pen aching. Pen trying to break them up. Pen talking to Marina. Pen scheming. Pen agonizing. And we didn't fucking like it.

But this Debling bullshit? STILL NOT COLIN'S STORY!!! Still Pen's! Pen being pursued. Pen getting attention. Pen making decisions. Pen having a narrative.

Colin gets nothing. Has gotten nothing in this fandom and the writing for YEARS. Will continue to get nothing.

Y'all say you ship Polin but the instant any other dude walks into her line of sight, it's 'Colin whomst?'. Y'all say you ship Polin, but you also ship her with Debling, Michael, Dankworth, Anthony, Benedict, Anderson, Fife, random potted plant, dude in the background, Phillip, Jesus Christ himself, etc etc. She is this fandom's OOC Bicycle whenever it happens to suit us, so I'm not surprised.

Yeah, fucking block me for that, I don't care.

Most of y'all don't ship this couple. You say you do but you don't, not really. Because if you did, you'd be upset that Polin is losing screentime for this. You'd be asking where half your ship is. You wouldn't be settling for 'oh, he's off screen somewhere'. You'd want more of Polin's moments. Their tenderness. Their messiness. Their alone time. You'd be asking why this was necessary. You'd be wondering where Colin's growth is, where his story is. Y'all are content with crumbs. Colin could be a disembodied hand jilling Pen off at this point and you'd be happier for it because you clearly don't care that he isn't here.

The reality is- I have been SCREAMING about how this fandom doesn't give a shit about Colin for years now. Friends of mine have been bullied off this fandom. Story after story that was about punishment and revenge was written. Anything outside the status quo? Instantly spammed by mean ass anons. Luke Newton was harassed. His ex partner was harassed. His friends are being harassed. Luke Newton has said this fandom has taken their frustrations out on him. A real life person. Just trying to do a job.

And being shafted whilst doing so.

Why should he promo this shit? Huh? It was meant to be his season and it isn't. That's clear. It's so clear that to say otherwise like y'all are kidding yourselves.

I'm tired of this fandom culture. I'm tired of the Pen Standom being a placeholder for Polin.

I SHIP POLIN!!! Polin! As in Penelope AND Colin. As in MY OTP!!! As in the couple I want seasons and seasons of! I want Penelope to grow outside of Male Validation. I want Colin to be a fully rounded character who exists outside of Penelope. I want them to grow TOGETHER. I don't want this random suitor ass nonsense. I didn't want it from jump and I don't want it now. I will never want it. I do not care.

I continue to be the polin black sheep, but I CALLED THIS. I called it. And I hate that I did. I hate it. I saw this was the direction it was going back when our 'can't wait to see him groveling, screaming, crying, throwing up for Pen' bullshit was blowing up. Other ships see it. Other fans see it. Shonda calls him stupid, we call him stupid (yeah, you can say it's 'affectionately' all you want, I don't believe you), every damn time it's 'omggggg chill outttttt Colin will have his time'

Y'all don't WANT him to have his time. You want him to be a sexy prop. And congrats, that's evidently what you're getting.

Just like. . . just finally acknowledge it. Y'all aren't here for the pairing. You're here for Pen. And fine, that's your prerogative, but then just stop acting like you're here for the ship. Stop posting shit in the tag for the eyes and attention. You ship Pebling. Whoopdee doo. Use. Their. Tag. Pen/Someone Else is endgame in your fic. DON'T TAG POLIN. Colin sucks, he doesn't deserve her, he should grovel- You. Don't. Ship. Polin.

I am tired. I love Colin as a character, and a few of us do, too, and we deserve a safe place for that. And we can't even get it in his own fandom. We can't even get it in his own tag.

[nevermorered]

I’m so angry, no, repulsed by those stills. Love triangles are old and boring. Debling, I literally do not give a damn about that man. You can’t make me. I want COLIN. Pen wants COLIN. Give us COLIN.

I’m not even interested in this coming season anymore. Seriously, it’s just meh. How has Bridgerton ruined Bridgerton for me?

I’ll going to log off now. I’m so disgusted I can’t even see straight. Sorry Sam whatever your last name is, I don’t want Debling.

[nevermorered]

Damn, those fitted jeans are just 🤤 Debling could NEVER

I’m gnawing at the bars of my enclosure rn are we SEEING HIM

[nevermorered]

Promoting the love triangle makes me fear Debling will overstay his welcome. I don’t understand celebrating this when Bridgerton has a HORRIBLE track record with love triangles so far.

I’m trying to be ok with this because I fell in love with the show before I read the books, but the way they’re dead set on butchering Romancing Mr Bridgerton for their overdone love triangles makes me itch. I fear it’ll make Penelope seem petty when she’s not, and it’ll make Colin seem like he only started to like Penelope because another man does which is a huge disservice to his character and his inner growth. And it’s hard enough to be a Colin Polin without them giving antis (and some so-called Polin fans) some other guy to ship Penelope with and detract from Colin.

[nevermorered]

Shonda, I fuckinf PROMISE you there are shapes other than triangles, do we have to do this AGAIN

[nevermorered]

if Debling has 1000 haters, I am one of them. If he has 100 haters, I am one of them. If he has 10 haters I am one of them. If he has 1 hater, I am the hater. If he has no haters, I am dead.

But Colin?

If Colin has 1000 fans, I am one of them. If he has 100 fans, I am one of them. If he has 10 fans, I am one of them. If he has 1 fan, I am the fan. If he has 0 fans, I have perished.
