#NO BUT FOR REALS

[lordandladywhistledown]

More proof that Colin’s flirtatious character was just on the outside/for the show is that in the part of Colin’s journal that Pen reads, he says how he's lying next to a beautiful woman, touching her face and wondering how is it possible to be so close to someone yet still so far away.

He's clearly not confident in himself or his choices because his heart is still telling him that it's not right. He changed only to attract attention, but that was not what he needed (and he deep down knew that), but he just didn't want to accept it. He still persued ladies because his clever older brothers and friends put the idea of that in his head. He was taught that every man must seek pleasure even if he doesn't even want to in his heart, and if he chooses not to do that, he will be laughed at.

He flirts so much like it’s the only thing he learned and did when he was gone, and shares very little of the actual travelling he did. But the only person to whom he shares the details is Penelope - in his letters, when he's apologising and when he doesn't start hating her for reading his journals (she tells him he's a great writer and he believes her, even if he doesn't show it)

Only Penelope is able to get to his heart because she knows what he truly wants and loves and desires, and that's also why she's able to read his fake persona and write what she did in Lady Whistledown. And he got so mad at that because someone else finally realised the truth about him - someone actually understood him - and it pained him that out of all people, the first person to do so was Lady Whistledown herself.

And instead of people understanding that, reading just a little bit between the lines, they go ahead and shout at how he's a dick and that Penelope doesn't deserve him.

Please, please understand that emotions, feelings and behaviour are all very complicated things and also very easily influenced by the outside world, and that Colin is the same as he was in S1 on the inside. It's just that he's insecure of that part of him so he chooses to hide it. And he so quickly realizes he loves Pen because when they are together, he doesn't feel the need to be anything other than himself and still be loved and appreciated.

End rant.

If prev anon is going to be waiting in line for days, rest assured I will be right there with them because I am 100000% excited for this!

I'm so sad you can't all gather in person and hang out together! O for the ability to pull everyone out of tumblr and bounce around with you in the real world.

So there’s a trend going round where you draw Miku inspired by your own culture and normally I just sit those out bc i’m from England but then the image of her covered in fake tan with the full chav makeup and sloppily bleached blue pigtails popped into my head and i almost threw up laughing. So here’s bri’ish Miku. She smells like impulse body spray and spent the last 30 minutes arguing with the teacher who told her to take her coat off. It’s chewsday innit

edit: i fucked up with the cigarette i know it’s the wrong way round blease stop making fun of me 😔💔

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
