#HE IS NOT FLIRTING WITH PENELOPE

[awnrii]

that one troy interview on tiktok but it’s hermes and also I drew it and now it has subtitles

[myfairstarlight]

s3e2 is so fucking funny. Colin spends the whole episode so happy to be spending time with Penelope thanks to their lessons but when it comes to putting them into practice he lightly points to a potential suitor for her to flirt with only for him to look like this immediately

His happy bubble burst. So stupid in love and he hasn't even had the life changing kiss under the moonlight yet boy does NOT know what's about to hit him

✨Two very unserious people✨

[colinfeatherington]

the ton is mad stupid because colin comes back from his travels tripping over himself to flirt with half the girls in london for a few days then there’s a lil scandal that he’s helping penelope featherington find a match and suddenly all he does for weeks is follow her around, barely speak to anyone else, and run after her when she flees balls crying like how is the ton not picking up on this?? the supposed catch of the season is loitering at the sweets table with penelope!!

[fiumedivita]

The way Pen and Colin immediately started flirting at the market honestly ruined me.

[clairi-yos]

How I hope Colin Bridgerton's screen time will be divided in S4:

70% wandering about aimlessly with a baby on his hip, cracking bad jokes, snacking, talking about 'my wife' to anyone who'll listen and contributing absolutely nothing to the plot.

20% Polin moments (fluff or intimacy scenes I'm not fussy)

7% helping the S4 lead

3% ABC brother scenes

Callisto: What do you mean killing isn’t an act of devotion?

Callisto: They call it “committing murder” because it’s a commitment. It’s a more serious commitment than marriage.

Also ngl I kinda love the concept of Debling courting Penelope and Colin getting jealous because of it, not because I ship it (he’s barely a character) or because I’m part of the crowd that wants to see Colin ~suffer (though I’m not opposed to seeing him dramatically yearn), but because the reason Penelope specifically is going after this vegan man is so fascinating to me. Like, she obviously doesn’t love him. But she will marry him to protect LW… she’ll marry him to please Portia, that’s so funny.

Girl’s so desperate to escape her awful family life while at the same time keeping her secret, but she also wants her mother’s approval. And she’s so caught up in that toxic mindset that she completely misses the guy she’s been in love with since childhood making heart eyes at her from across the ballroom.

Pen only has her parents’ terrible marriage as a frame of reference, so she probably thinks it’s a bonus if her future husband is much older than her because that could make her a young widow. He’ll leave the country for the majority of the year to fuck off to Antarctica? Oh to be left alone by your own life partner!!!

Meanwhile Portia is enthusiastically nodding behind Penelope like yes, perhaps he’ll die at sea, and neither of them think there’s anything wrong with this outlook in life.

Hilarious.

[polin-erospsyche]

Did Debling really just compare her to a dead animal? Is that his flirting tactic?

Did Colin really just watch and gulped, going all fuuuuuck because he’s realising she’s slipping through his fingers? Also I must say she’s so pretty, especially when she smiles, and it’s not at him and it must sting.

Pen killing me with the « he is dead ». I swear it has the same energy as the iconic « you want me to shake your hand? » and I want more of sassy Pen cause wow she’s beautiful!

will the bridgerton “fans” ever be satisfied? stay tuned next week to find out!

[deathnguts]

I think every Greek tragic romance is Bartylus for mostly no reason BUT Penelope and Odysseus are LITERALLY regulus and barty because they literally invented and are homophrosyne

[eloise175]

Callisto: I have two words for you

Penelope: Go on

Callisto: I love you

Penelope: That’s three words

Callisto: No, it’s two because you and I are one *grins*

Penelope:

Penelope: That was so smooth I want to punch you.

Callisto: How about you kiss me instead?

Penelope found herself promenading and talking with her “friend,” Colin about her three suitors and objectifying them a teensy bit, which is torture for Colin.

Penelope: I have heard it said that Mr. Anderson been on many exotic hunting expeditions. How brave and fearless one must be to hunt only the most dangerous beasts. I cannot imagine another gentleman of the ton his equal. Not with his aim and protective instincts. Were I his wife, I would be safe from marauding minotaurs even if he didn’t have a gun handy. I stumbled during promenade with him yesterday and he caught me as though I were as light as a feather. It was quite stirring.

Colin: Are you blushing Pen?

Penelope: Do not mock me, I am sure you think it silly but I have never felt delicate before. And I did in his arms. He only held me for a moment but he was so strong. It… it was nice and he smelled good which I rarely notice about gentlemen.

Penelope: Colin are you flexing your arm muscles?

Colin was most definitely flexing his muscles.

Colin: Of course not, don’t be ridiculous. Mr. Anderson is hardly the only gentleman with strong arms and soap in town. Besides there are more important things to consider.

Penelope: Well of course, though were I a man I would simply pick the option I find most pleasing to look at, and certainly the most handsome option is Mr. Dankworth.

Colin: Good God Penelope, did he not just risk his life riding a hot air balloon contraption last year. The man is a reckless fool. You’ll be widowed within the year.

Penelope: How can you be so unkind. Are you not the very man who went on a world tour alone? How can you be so critical of that man’s small adventure?

Colin: I am merely concerned that you might become blinded by some small things that you have learned of these gentlemen and that you might choose someone who will not make you happy.

Penelope: I have three charming, handsome and strong options. One of them is even titled! My mama is quite set on Lord Debling. She insists I must, “display my assets,” for him.”

Colin: What the hell does she mean by that?

Penelope: I shall leave that to your imagination, but let’s just say that she had the modiste lower the necklines of all my dresses this season. And if you truly cannot infer my meaning, you should know I’ve been instructed by my mama to stand straight with my chest out and fan my bosom whenever he is present… to draw his eye.

Colin: Penelope that is shameless. You are a lady!

Penelope: What I am is a woman in need of a husband Colin, and I will do what I must to tempt and snag my man. Once I know which of these men will offer me the best possible future, I will learn what my intended likes, and I shall make it clear that I intend to please him in any way I possibly can in the hopes that he will like me and aspire to make me happy as well.

Colin: Any man would be lucky to call you his, Penelope. There is no finer woman in all the world.

Penelope: What a compliment to give the only woman you have never flirted with.

Colin: Did you want me to flirt with you Pen?

Penelope: Are you mad? I would never dream of flirting with Colin Bridgerton.

Colin: I shall never live that down, I see.

Penelope: Not in your wildest fantasies.

Just then Penelope stepped on a small stone which turned her ankle just enough to make her stumble and Colin immediately caught her in his surprisingly strong embrace.

Colin: Miss Featherington, would it be scandalous to flirt with you when you are already in my arms.

Penelope: I am not in your arms because of your flirting, and you should let me go before someone sees us like this.

Colin: Let them look, I quite like the way you blush while I hold you. How do I smell compared to Mr. Anderson?

Penelope: You are incorrigible Mr. Bridgerton. Besides you always smell the same to me. Like a mix of soap mixed with sandalwood and sometimes whiskey. Which I don’t normally like but…

Colin: Don’t tell me you like the way I smell.

Penelope: I would never insult you with such a bold compliment. Now please release me, it was only a pebble under my shoe, it is not as though I just swooned in your arms.

Colin: Do I have to? You smell so nice and in this position I have the most spectacular view of your… assets.

At this Penelope gasped, then turned beet red and then they both broke into infectious laughter. Colin set her upright again and they decided to walk a little longer, Penelope’s arm held snuggly by Colin’s and he told her he would have to take every opportunity to flirt with her now. Because he couldn’t remember ever having such fun flirting with another woman. Something about making Penelope blush and smile and laugh delighted Colin and he was determined to see her light up for him as much as he could, for as long as he could. Maybe even for forever.
