When you’re each others personal space

[vocallywritten]

I used to be able to enjoy the occasional "Colin doesn't see Penelope until it's too late and loses her" fic but then I watched season 3.

Now those stories don't sit as right with me anymore because he's so deeply in love with her that now I know that losing Penelope would quite literally ruin and possibly end that man's life. Like I'm pretty sure he would drop dead on the spot.

Pen was too distracted

[darlingpeasant]

I think we all deserve to see Pen really and I mean really mess up Colin’s hair during sexy times in season 4. I’m not talking about a light ruffle I wanna see those curls everywhere in the most disheveled manner possible. As a little treat ✨

Real talk, I hope Nic and Luke are ok.. only just saw how much Netflix and Bridgerton socials are being flooded with complaints. Yes I have my opinions, but they did incredibly with what they were given.

Who in Bridgerton deserves sm better and why is it Edwina Sharma: an essay

[darnedchild]

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Colin Bridgerton is a breast man, specifically the breasts of one Penelope Featherington.

Poor boy has dreamt of doing the most obscene things to and with her delicate bosom, distracting things, things he should be utterly ashamed of... Would be ashamed of if he thought there was the smallest chance that Penelope wouldn't welcome each and every touch.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Penelope Featherington longs to run her fingers through soft brown hair, specifically the hair of one Colin Bridgerton.

Poor girl has dreamt of wrapping his beautiful locks around her fingers, of dragging her nails against the sensitive skin of his scalp until his eyes close and his lips part in a barely audible moan, of grabbing a handful of hair and pulling him into her demanding kisses until he willing surrenders to her passionate demands... Should feel embarrassed by her wanton desires if she weren't absolutely certain that Colin would willing fall to his knees before her at the first gentle tug.

of public honor and proud titles -> [chapter one]

As he neared, Obi-Wan, alerted by doubtless some primal instinct, turned around. Anakin faltered as their eyes locked. A flicker of surprise crossed Obi-Wan’s face, quickly masked by his usual composure. "Lord Kenobi.” The title fit oddly in Anakin's mouth, his tongue ill at ease in giving it shape. “You appear well. It's good to see you again." Obi-Wan's eyes softened just a fraction, then cooled. "Mr. Skywalker," he replied neutrally. "Welcome back."

[The faux-regency Obikin fic absolutely no one asked for.]

[devastatinglygreen]

when colin tells his frat bro friends that he's done with helping penelope and that "it's good to be back" he sounds just like he did when he says he'd never court her

colin, my love, how long have you been wearing that fake personality?

[pensbridgrton]

that's that on colin bridgerton.

Look....if you are going to have an ensemble show with 15+ characters and 8+ various storylines (along with the main one) going on....ya need more than 8 episodes.

I still loved season 3, don't get me wrong. But scenes need time to breathe, need time to allow the emotional impact to really settle in before moving on to the next. This was a concern in season 2, and it didn't really improve in season 3. We could have held a beat longer here and a few seconds there and it would have improved some scenes greatly.

During the hot air balloon scenes, the way it was edited and timed, it appeared as though Pen wasn't running from a slow-moving balloon without a specific reason. If we had interspliced more shots from her POV, showing Colin's forearms, closeups of his hair, thighs, butt, it would have highlighted that Pen isn't running because she's distracted by him....by her thirsting. That adds in a few seconds. Then we could have cut over to Colin after he stopped the balloon running up to Pen to ask if she's alright and Pen could be awkward about it. Another few seconds. It would have made the scene understandable and effortless with just 50 seconds-is extra time.

Netflix needs to allow Bridgerton 10 episodes minimum if they want the show to not appear so rushed and frantic all the time. Where we can watch the main plot and subplots intertwine with grace and gravitas instead of with hyperactivity and emotional speed-running. This would allow the writers more to play with and be creative with, and the editors more chances to splice together a cohesive and emotionally understandable overarching visual experience.

Colin and his self-proclaimed admiration for necklaces like god damn boy!!! Your ass is not fooling anyone!!! Looking at Penelope’s titties like they’re the second coming of Christ…
