#bridgerton part 1

[pensbridge]

Let's go back to the Eloise line, "She's not looking for a husband in you I hope." From the trailers, I thought that makes no sense...she doesn't even know Pen has feelings for Colin and just generally why would she think that?? In the show, it makes sense - Eloise thinks she doesn't know Pen after the Lady Whistledown reveal last season, and she has no idea what's going on in Penelope's mind—if she's conniving or if she's a lonely ball of stress right now (she's still concerned how she is when she asks Colin and is worried). Eloise is wondering, thinking, is she trying to marry Colin now for her own personal gain; is she trying to secure herself a stable and financial security future? Because she's questioning everything with Penelope. She still has no idea of the crush, there. Her world as she knew it was just blown apart and she can't make sense of Penelope's mindset at the moment or understand her intentions.

Actually, going deeper, Eloise thinks in black and white. She thinks in categories of right and wrong, and she has blind spots to her own actions (the printer last season, accusing Cressida without thinking of herself). So in part 2, she's like "he could not possibly love you," because she can't make sense of reasonings and seeing nuance in situations.....of people feeling one way and their actions being guided by other contradictory feelings per the moment. It's like the season 1 fight at Pen's door where she learns Pen might want to get married. Because how could someone possibly foster a mindset of independence AND also want to get married? It doesn't make sense to her.

(watched the first 4 minutes) Going even deeper, Eloise's "how long have you had feelings for him?" Followed by, "do not answer; I do not want to know." This just makes it deeper for her. She's like, ANOTHER thing you kept from me?! The confusion and the hurt on another level.. She truly thinks she doesn't know Penelope. Also, now I'm convinced she might actually believe Pen was more interested in Colin than genuinely there for her friendship (and that's sad).

Luke & Nicola React to Season 3 Part 1 Scenes

[homechashikjin]

Enemies to lovers trope have ruined some people heads cause why do people think that sexual tension and charged tension is the only way to show you have chemistry?? Why can’t chemistry be the comfort someone feels when they are around another person? Why can’t chemistry be having an awkward conversation after kissing your best friend since childhood that you have been pinning for for so long? Why can’t chemistry be breaking into laughter while having an out of this world experience with someone you longed to have ? I’m tired of people comparing polin and kathony saying kathony has better chemistry like they’re are two different circumstances. They are different love stories

Colin: I’m not jealous. I just get a weird burning feeling in my chest when I think about Penelope being with someone else.

Benedict: Yes, that’s jealousy.

“[Anthony and Kate] love each other so deeply, and he adores her.”

God bless you, Luke, for kneeling for however long it took to film the carriage scene.

[polin-erospsyche]

No matter what you do, DO NOT think of a wholesome scene where we get the whole family, and that of course includes Penelope Bridgerton, playing a family game and Colin being terrible at it but not caring at all because he is too busy beaming with pride at his wife because she’s brilliant and he is so very very in love with her and it’s ok if he looses as long as she’s winning because she is his whole world and thus he will never loose. Are you thinking about it? About all the love he has in his eyes for her? Good, good 😌

Eldest Sibling Tournament — Round 1, Part 1

[waltricia]

I love that Colin’s dream of his first meeting with Pen post-kiss is very much a parallel of the carriage scene, with mirrored dialogue and passion…

… but the ACTUAL first meeting post-kiss is the opposite of the carriage scene. The dialogue is incredibly (albeit adorably) awkward and stilted, he’s hiding his true feelings instead of confessing them, and it ends with her leaving him instead of joining him.

Good LORD he must have felt so shitty after the willow tree meeting. It really was the opposite of what he wanted to have happen. It almost makes me feel bad for loving that scene so much.

Almost.
