#bridgerton crack ship

[sea-owl]

Anthony: Why did Colin ban us from seeing Penelope?

Benedict: Bet me, he even forbids me from using her as a model for my art even when I didn’t plan to!

Earlier

Colin, seeing all of the fanfic of Penelope being shipped with one of his older brothers: ………Penny, you are not allowed to see my brothers anymore, let alone being alone with them.

Oh, Colin better not find my blog. He gonna have more names to add to the list, like Daphne, Sophie, Kate, Francesca, some lord named Odysseus he don't know. I've actually seen a few older Gregory fics for Penelope, too, and some Genevieve Delacroix fics. His top three names, though, would probably be Anthony, Benedict, and Michael.

I'm sorry, but Penelope is too shipable, and I think it has to do with the fact that she's in or mentioned in almost every book. Which means you've seen her interact with almost everyone. Or you're like me and like exploring different relationships and the dynamics they could create. Obviously, my OTP for her and her soulmate is Colin, but again, it's fun to me to explore the what if.

I DONT REMEMBER WHO ORIGINALLY POSTED THESE BUT THEY ARE THE FUNNIEST BRIDGERTON AND POLIN INCORRECT QUOTES AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A CRIME TO GATEKEEP THESE FROM ALL OF YOU.

I have wayyyyy more saved to my phone! Lemme know if I should make a part two of this, or if you want me to send them to you individually!

[simplyalexeiofficial]

I’ve been waiting on Polin’s season for so long that I’ve inadvertently become obsessed with Penedict, and I am convinced that the only reason Pen and Ben haven’t truly shared a scene yet is because their chemistry would disrupt the entire Bridgerton space-time continuum

Still obsessed with Polin, but they’re spicy where Benedict would be savory, you know? A girl likes some flavor variety

[thewordsleep]

OK I'm not insane for this... or I might be... but did Pen and Colin’s first kiss not have this energy:

AND ALSO this energy:

[risquc]

I’ll forever be a Polin girl but Penedict has a super soft spot in my heart and I love it so much.

I think Benedict would have been so soft and sweet to Penelope— and Penelope would be such an understanding and calming safe haven for Ben and even if it’s not love at first I imagine a beautiful friendship happening first— where everyone notices how they communicate with their eyes, no words spoken. It’s soft smiles and lingering looks.

It’s one dance turns into two, dances then turn into callings, flowers, exchange of notes and poetries. Every woman in his paintings and drawings look like Penelope—everything reminding Penelope about Benedict and how when he smiles her breathing stops for a moment.

Is the fear of losing Penelope when Colin comes back— is the fear of losing Benedict to a “prettier” lady. And it’s them realizing they are in love, softly and gentle, a love that is genuine and pure. And then they wed.

colin should 'suffer' for penelope

aka: 5 short reasons why wanting colin to 'suffer' or 'grovel' or whatever other bullshit this fandom keeps pulling is stupid and makes no sense and should have been buried ages ago, how is this still a thing?

1: it sets a terrible and unhealthy dynamic between an endgame couple

especially considering Polin's motif is that of a mirror, if Colin is expected to grovel or suffer for Penelope's affection and forgiveness, it only stands to reason that Penelope then, too, would have to reciprocate. how Penelope treats Colin's ills is setting the precedent for how he's expected to handle her own against him, of which there are many. giving him the cold shoulder, holding what he said over his head and rubbing it in his face, potentially not even explaining why she's upset at him: these are not signs of a mature woman ready for a marriage to ANYONE

2: Colin's slights against Penelope are considerably less harmful than Penelope's against Colin's and it makes no narrative sense for her to be on her high horse about it

'he ruined her prospects' 'he talked about her behind her back' 'he laughed at her' (we don't even know if that one's true, frankly speaking)

but Penelope did the exact same to him and she did so first. Please remember that Penelope is the reason Colin and Marina broke up, and it was her express goal the entire time. Penelope humiliated Colin and Marina both by exposing them publicly (not to mention rubbed the salt into the wound for days afterward). Penelope didn't even think about Colin's feelings because she tried to confess her crush on him immediately after his engagement went poof. Penelope holding Colin accountable for what he said without herself recognizing the ways in which she's hurt him, too, makes her out to be a hella hypocrite

3: it's weirdly catholic on main?

love isn't about suffering points or penance or guilt and i'm tired of Christianity pervading every damn thing. sorry not sorry, some of us want an actually fulfilling love story

4: y'all are just mad Colin didn't love Penelope back from jump and it's a revenge fantasy

which, fine, that's what fanfic is for, but it's OOC, y'all are aware of that, right? because if he DID want her from the start, we all know that it wouldn't be Polin? why are you shipping a friends to lovers ship if you INSIST that the friends to lovers dynamic is less than? guess what? unreciprocated love is kind of part of the deal. you don't hold a grudge against your friend for not loving you back immediately. Colin shows he cares about Penelope in SO MANY WAYS that somehow are completely invalidated because it isn't meant to be romantic? imma say it: fuck you if you think that way. friendships are important and beautiful and deep and fulfilling with or without romance. Colin sticking his neck out for Penelope to help her family from Jack's scheme? an act of love. Colin sending Penelope letters after her father passed? act of love. Colin telling Penelope she's 'really very good' and holding her hand in appreciation of her coming to talk to him? act of love. if you think those acts of love mean nothing just because he isn't fucking her seven ways to sunday, maybe analyze your own viewpoint of relationships and ship Pen w/ some random stranger who makes heart eyes at her tits from jump

5: it makes Penelope an asshole to her own long term partner

dude, if a friend of mine insisted I crawl on hands and knees to determine whether they want me back in their lives, i don't want to be around that person? so many of these narratives make Penelope a straight up terrible person. if you want your partner to suffer? you probably don't actually like them very much, but Polin is narratively MEANT to be the couple that likes AND loves one another. be real, if your friend ghosted you for months, gave you the cold shoulder when you tried to talk again, treated you like shit (you can't argue that him 'suffering' isn't treating him like shit in some way shape or form) as you tried to apologize, and then you find out that she was the reason you and your ex broke up and she wrote straight up nasty things about your family for YEARS, you would want absolutely nothing to do with that friend. why should Colin be expected to be any different? do these two not deserve a lovely love story built on love and affection and trust and honesty? a healthy happy relationship in which they see one another and appreciate one another for all they are? no? so why do you ship them?

+1: it's oversaturated in this fandom

polin is a fantastic ship. how is THIS their main trope?

find a new fucking idea, PLEASE

[wooloowoonomenon]

Proxy of Hades au

(I was watching Queen Charlotte on Netflix, and had this thought!)

Nico: You have to tell me that I am utterly alone in this world.

Toby: I am a madman.

[He scoffs]

Toby: I am a danger. In my mind, there are different worlds creeping in. The heavens and Earth collide. I do not know where I am.

Nico: Do you love me?

Toby: You do not wish a life with me for yourself. No one wishes that.

Nico: Toby! I will stand with you between the heavens and the Earth. I will tell you where you are. Do you love me?

Toby: I love you!

[He sighs]

Toby: From the mo...

[Nico sighs]

Toby: ...from the moment I saw you, trying to go over the wall, I have loved you desperately. I cannot breathe when you are not near-! I love you, your highness...My heart calls your name.

Slight Bridgerton crackship…

Cressida and Fife?!

They seem to match each others’ (mean and bully) freaks.

I think that would have been a much better storyline in season 3 if Cressida and Fife got together, no old man and no banishment to Wales for Cressida.

Think about it, Fife is a RAKE and has a reputation of sullying women (closet gossip season 2?), so no mamas are going to let their daughters near him (let alone dance) so he just goes to the balls to show face in society, leaves early and then goes to the clubs or brothels after, is a fuckboy and kind of a douche. But he is a titled lord, so he is still respected in society because of his status. I could see his courting of Cressida to be traditional (he’d go to her house and call on her) but also scandalous (he’d lead her away to the back gardens alone). and Cressida can’t catch a man because of her mean persona and bullying. She’s gorgeous but she hasn’t been able to charm any man. So when Fife shows interest, and Cressida is desperate, Cressida's parents don't mind his reputation because he's a LORD and very eligible and once they're married that rake behavior won't matter.

They would make such good frienemies to the rest of the Ton! They could still be around for other storylines and just be *that* couple of Mayfair.

And who doesn’t love a mean, slightly villainous couple who are into each other?! They can bond over being bitchy and judgemental of everyone else in the Ton. It'd be fun to watch! Like the anti-Colin and Pen, standing in the corner sipping their champagne just judging the Ton to filth. 😆

Also, can you just image a scene where Eloise and Colin are trying to match make them. lol Colin talks to Fife about Cressida over drinks at the club and Eloise talks to Cressida about Fife while they are out on promenade.

Onto exposing myself for my Bridgerton non canon crack ships I'll start with one that is still between one of Bridgertons and one of the spouses.

(Before I go further let me put this out there that the canon couples are still my favorite for each pairing but I find it fun to explore different what if dynamics.)

So first non canon, crack ship would be between Daphne and Penelope.

A cute little ship that I can see starting in the early days, like during the off season before Penelope's debut. Portia informs Penelope she is debuting early when she is 17. Penelope absolutely dreading the idea of debuting that early decides she needs to get all the information she can and goes to someone she trusts, who has already debuted, Daphne.

Daphne takes her past experiences and begins help training Penelope for her own first season so she's not just being dragged around by Portia. During this training the two debutants start feeling more than friendly feelings for one another.

They acknowledge their feelings for one another but they know society would question Ms. Daphne Bridgerton staying single when she has expressed wanting to be a mother and have a family. Penelope also knows Daphne will be the starting example for her sisters. So the two start to plan, and come up with the idea of a lavender marriage.

Daphne will marry a man in want of an heir who does not care what she does outside of giving birth to the child. Then the two women can happily raise their child together. When Daphne points out Penelope can also do the same the red head shrugs and says others were already whispering about her being a spinster, that's why her mama was debuting her so early. Hopes the youthfulness will get a man thinking he has a longer time for an heir.

The new season begins, Penelope debuts, and the girls start hunting for a sperm donor.

Babe…babe wake up!!!

It’s part seven of incorrect Bridgerton quotes that I have saved to my phone!!! I still have no recollection as to who posted these first, but as a member of the Bridgerton/Polin fandom, I thank you for taking the time out of your lives to make these!! Love you! Xx

Lemme know if you want part 8! There’s still plenty to get through!

[simplyalexeiofficial]

Being a Penedict fan is having to come to terms with the fact that two characters who canonically fell in love at first sight (and not with each other) would make the most delicious slow burn couple if they were paired together 🥲💕

[fandoms-my-fandoms]

The pictures from the show just add so much depth to the tweets. I’m quite literally obsessed.

colin bridgerton incorrect quotes

his wife incorrect quotes

[jo-harrington]

Yes, yes, Sophie Beckett. Yes, yes, Mr. Colbourne. After being a little disappointed by the third seasons of two shows I enjoyed...I'm only accepting the following:

Charlotte Heywood goes to become a governess in London after she finds out Sidney Parker is dead. She intrigues one Violet Bridgerton who sees an enterprising young woman looking for independence--with surprisingly stellar references from heiress Georgiana Lambe, up-and-coming entrepreneur Tom Parker, and Lady Susan Worcester--and hires her to tutor Hyacinth maybe? I don't know enough about it really get into it.

*vague hand wave* Then give us a strangers to lovers kind of situation between her and Benedict. She's trying to relearn her love for life again after grieving while searching for herself and rejecting societal standards, Ben has very much spent time enjoying life (give him his bisexual awakening earlier for gods sake) while trying to do the same. They both learn from each other and ground each other.

And then Charlotte's level-headedness (and meddling lets be real) helps Eloise and Penelope when the truth about Whistledown eventually comes to light. Because I loved Eloise in season 1 and she's really fucking sucked lately.

You can still have things like...maybe Benedict actually has met Charlotte before at the one ball she attended in London with Sidney and they danced together. Or even Charlotte falling for Colbourne-ish and she's hardened her heart and it's BENEDICT THAT GETS HER TO SEE LOVE AND LIGHT AGAIN.

MORE OVER Esther and Babbington without Esther getting screwed over by Edward again, Georgiana's inheritance and search for a husband, Benedict's whole art school situation. Fuck maybe he's the one who paints Georgiana's portrait instead of Charles Lockhart and she doesn't get swindled and scandalized and he actually gets to make a name for himself as an artist.

SHIT JUST LET GEORGIANA HAVE AN ACTUAL FUCKING PLOT THAT IS TIED TO HER INDEPENDENCE INSTEAD OF HER JUST BEING AT THE MERCY OF SOCIETY AGAIN AND AGAIN. LET HER HAVE SOME KIND OF SELF DETERMINATION WITHOUT HER BEING A TARGET FOR MANIPULATION. I KNOW THAT WAS THE KIND OF THE DEAL IN SEASON 3 BUT ALSO WHAT THE FUCK WAS SEASON 3 AT ALL. AND SEASON 2?! The whole "why is sidney in antigua" ok find out why and then let Georgiana Lambe fucking LIVE HER LIFE. Let her find her mother and rekindle that relationship. Let Lady Danbury guide her to shirking societal expectations and being a wonderfully rich single woman! Maybe she actually finds someone she loves like Otto again, or no one at all. Shit!

*kicks both series into the sun*

Maybe I need to rewatch sanditon again and not just be grumbly. I obviously had parts I like of both and I enjoyed watching just let me have this dumb thing.
