#i love you penelope

[theking-mustdie]

society: treats penelope in a fat phobic, classist, and malicious manner

penelope: comments on society as a hypocritical institution in an exposé-like manner

brain dead ppl: WE HATE PENELOPE🤬🤬🤬🤬

[i-live-in-spite]

I need more Garcia content on here please, I don't care if it's romantic, platonic, fluff, smut, top, bottom, hardcore, soft. Straight, queer, transgender reader, cis reader. I haven't seen a single proper fanfiction with Penelope Garcia and I'm just saying she's so freaking pretty and I need others to love her😭

Ps. I mean x reader, not luke or derek

[starshinegarcia]

late night thoughts: the ultimate decision to make penelope and derek platonic means that penn probably spent her first few years of their friendship being confused about her feelings, and that’s probably part of what led to her being so distraught after she gets shot on the date :(

Penelope was so real for asking her friend to kiss her bc she’s afraid she’ll never find love dude im inches away from doing the same thing

LNC: Penelope Bridgerton (inspo) / [Colin version]

[merlinemryspendragon]

Because Cressida discovered my secret. And she demands £10,000 to keep it. Bridgerton 3.08 - “Into the Light”

[weepynymph]

are people seriously not understanding that the whole point of colin's arc this season is him trying to be something he's not??

like sure the brothel scenes are a little weird and jarring but like they're meant to be??? because he's not actually that into it, he's just trying to do what all the other men his age are doing so he can fit in??

the writers aren't trying to 'turn him into anthony or simon' or make him a rake because that's what we're used to - HE'S trying to turn HIMSELF into anthony or simon or basically any of the other guys who this comes naturally to; who enjoy sleeping with lots of different people somewhat emotionlessly and don't get lonely because of it (and no judgement to that it's just not him)

he literally kisses Pen ONCE and absolutely loses his mind over it because its obviously never felt like that for him before. that moment is his 'oh so that's what that's supposed to feel like' moment and that's how he knows he's in love with her its literally so good???

i understand people feel like its rushed but honestly to me it feels perfectly in character for him to discover the solution to his loneliness he's been searching for all this time and immediately dive into it headfirst. that moment right at the end of ep4 where he asks her to marry him is the most authentic colin i think we've seen all season. he's sweet and funny and playful and passionate and impulsive - he's finally stopped trying to be someone he's not and now that he knows who he is and what he wants he's all in.

the absolute unbearable cruelty that the writers foisted upon Cressida

a woman taught from the beginning in her home, by her own mother, that she cannot trust any other women, who finally, FINALLY felt she had a friend- who didn't care for her much at all. a woman who grew up in a house that is more akin to a mausoleum, a woman dressed up as a doll and made to masquerade and sing and dance for the attention of a half decent man, never to be considered seriously. a woman who is foisted onto a man old enough to be her grandfather, who wants 4 children from her, and intends to keep her locked up in his estate with at most 1 social outing a month, who didn't believe in listening to music, or art.

a woman who goes to the only person she ever considered a friend, saying 'I need to save myself. Run with me. Write with me. Help me.' only for that friend to turn her back on her, and talked ill of her for the rest of her time in her society. a woman who tried to claw her way out of a horrible circumstance, only to be told she's too stupid to do so. a woman who's mother wrote the article that insulted her friend's family, an article she still regretted. a woman who tried to save herself and was then sent off to an aunt even less warm than the circumstances she'd grown up in.

what was Cressida meant to do? she had no one to turn to, and when she tried, she was turned away. she had no options left to her, she exhausted all of them. yes, blackmailing Penelope was harsh, but I would have done almost anything to save myself from sexual assault at the hands of a husband old enough to be my father twice over who was clearly intending on mistreating me, especially if I was dropped by the only person I ever considered a friend.

Cressida's story is so fucking tragic. My heart cracked clean in half for her

Forget men, come to me babygirl

Let's take a minute to appreciate my wonderful wife:

[letsplaythermalnuclearwar]

Homer!Odysseus and Epic!Odysseus would try to kill each other if they ever met

[iheartbookbran]

My favorite part about the Debling plot was Penelope and Cressida doing the most over there top cat-fighting in order to win him over, not because they genuinely liked the guy, but because they wanted to escape their families and also lowkey just hate each other.

[i-live-in-spite]

I low-key want to start writing fanfiction again. And I might honestly after I move into my dorms cause I leave in ✨ 7 ✨ days and I'm freaking out and I know I'll need an outlet but fuck..there's already so many Reids, and I don't think I'll be wanted in the Naturals fandom. Maybe I'll be the hero who starts the Garcia cult(joke)

#Our Beautiful Son 😭😭😭😭

[vocallywritten]

This is a small moment that got lost in the sauce but can we PLEASE talk about this???

Because he was literally suffering from writer's block until Penelope told him she loved him and then he was off to the races.
