💙💙💙

I just saw a comment that basically said

"Penelope opens her eyes first after every kiss to make sure this is real and Colin doesn't open them as not to wake up if it was a dream."

Shoutout to cocoboo.mx, congrats, you made me instantly cry, like fully ugly sob.

Colin: Pen, I love you, but please stop encouraging the children to question everything.

Penelope: I’m simply teaching them the value of critical thinking.

Colin: This morning, they asked if I was qualified to pour tea.

Penelope: Well, are you?

Despite the claims that there's no deleted Polin scenes in season 3, What a Barb! Podcast just found some more scenes that didn't make the final cut.

The first one I want to talk about is Colin's dream. Aparently, in the original script, Dream!Colin wants to continue 'the lessons' and says he "still has so much to teach her", to wich Dream!Pen replys "teach me". The insert ends with Colin saying: "Don't worry, it's only us. It was always us". Now, how on earth did they though that it was okay to delete a scene in wich Colin admits to himself it was always them?

That scene being deleted makes me wonder how was the original Willow Tree scene - as that scene is about ending the lessons, and we know it was a reshot because of the wig. Was it a scene to mirror the dream sequence? Because the dream reveals he wanted to continue their lessons and "teach" and "experience so many things with her" but he "gives up" because he thinks she doesn't want it. Like, it would make so much sense with his insecurity to destroy the friendiship. Omg. Not to mention it embodies one of my favorite things about the book wich is Colin being in love with Pen even before realising it.

Then we have the second scene, wich is actually a line cut out of their first kiss. In this version, Colin claims that (the kiss) would ruin her, but she says she's 'already ruined'. And as much as I have no complain about their first kiss - it is my absolute favorite scene -, in this moment Penelope thinks she has nothing else to loose. That she will never married and will spend all her life trapped in her mother's house. That's wath brings her to ask for the only thing she ever wanted: a kiss from Colin. She's a romantic after all. But Colin doesn't see her as a 'ruinned woman' and he doesn't want to cross the line even though no one would known.

In fact, in the book, her kiss request is kind off prompted by Colin saying that "Suppose I told everyone that I have seduced you. You would be ruined forever. It wouldn't matter that we had never even kiss. That, my dear Penelope, is the power of the word". And that quote/line of thinking matches so well the persona who sees Whistledown as an enemy that the show build for Colin...

Last, but not least, a scene in episode 7. The night before their marriage. A prostitute aproches Colin but he declines her services. This not only shows the truth that he'd never cheat on Pen but also that he knows they will be well and leave happily ever after.

They chosen to cute this scenes. Rumour is they chosen to pick a version of the modiste scene in wich Colin sends Pen home alone in the middle of the night when there's alleged a version of this scene when he goes home with her - not to mention the scene of them in bed talking about Colin's write. How many more Polin scenes we may have lost?

I find something very lovely, poignant, visually visceral about the Bridgerton household being covered in Wisteria. In the most literal sense, wallflowers. The Bridgertons have been something for Penelope to cling on to and helped her to grow and blossom. She was able to intertwine herself so deeply with this family and they were the ones to truly give her a place where she is most comfortable. It's beautiful symbolism for a character like Penelope.

Penelope: What other one? We only have one child.

Colin: BREAST!

Don't act like this wouldn't happen.

[softestaries]

Violet Bridgerton is truly gods strongest soldier. Every season she tells one of her children they're in love and every season they scoff in her face before causing seven different scandals to reach the same conclusion.

Colin: Pen, if I have 10 chocolate cakes and someone asks me for one, how many chocolate cakes do I have left?

Penelope *rolling her eyes*: Ten, Colin. Because you’d never give up your cake.

Colin: Exactly!

Eloise: Colin, you’re a grown man.

Colin: And as a grown man, I have the right to keep all my chocolate cake.
