#i mean the TENDERNESS

[maxdibert]

In a desperate attempt to cope with the trauma of the last chapter, my mind is stuck on that moment when Vander/Warwick, with his menacing beast-like gaze, says DON'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER, and Jinx feels, for the first time in YEARS, her dad—the big, huge, and strong one, the one who fiercely protects her—just like when she wasn’t Jinx but Powder, when she was just a little girl hiding behind his legs because she knew that as long as he was there, nothing would happen to her. And then Vi shows up, accompanied by Isha, and Vi touches Isha's helmet with extreme tenderness because Isha is the child her sister has adopted, and that makes her her niece, and now they’re a family again, all together, and they’re happy and have a bit of peace for the first time since everything went to hell years ago. And I refuse to process everything that happens after because that image is too precious and comforting, and because they could have had it all, but the narrative is a mess, and Jesus!Viktor never thought his bitter ex would come back to take revenge and set his own terms in the divorce—I want to cry.

Underrated moments in AFTG that I can't stop thinking about:

Neil struggling to open a protein bar because his hands are burned and Andrew opening it for him without a word exchanged. (disgustingly adorable. i love it.)

Jean (cheeky little shit) stealing Jeremy's racquet and flinging it as far away as he can just to show him he's learned the lesson (this moment made me realize jean might be a natural flirt. jeremy's so screwed)

Andrew calling Neil a little creature. And then a jock (derogatory). (andrew "I'm too cool and edgy to ever be jock" minyard)

Andrew taking Neil with him to the bar every time. (also disgustingly adorable)

Jean learning what a peeler is. (oh jean...precious baby.)

I guess what I find most funny about the 'She should call off the wedding because of Colin's entrapement line!' crowd is like. . .y'all really don't get Penelope at all, do you?

She has loved this man for YEARS. She's loved him through his engagement to someone else, she's loved him through him saying he wouldn't court her, she's loved him through multiple countries, through her family mocking their closeness, through a potential marriage to a Lord. She loved him so much she couldn't even DENY having feelings for him to save what she thought was her only chance of getting married. Do you know how easy it would have been for her to go 'No, we're just friends, I don't like him like that, you're proposing to me and that's what matters'? She couldn't denounce her feelings for him even THEN. Even when she doesn't think he reciprocates them and she's made peace with a life with Debling and is expecting his proposal. Colin was *always* first in her heart, through all those hurdles.

Because Colin has been kind in a cruel world, and he's made her laugh, and he encourages her confidence and he's warm and he's gorgeous and he centers her and he values her and he listens and makes her feel desired and beautiful. He's a good man, and her love for him makes her feel good, she treasures it. Even in the books she says it feels good to love a good person, whether he loved her back or not. And now she knows that he does and you think one line that Colin says in obvious hurt after finding out she's been hiding a secret persona for him is enough to shake that love? She spent what? Half a decade looking out her window pining for him and now on the eve of getting to live a life with him as husband and wife, she's going to chuck that away because of one sentence? How lowly do you think of her? How *stupid* do you think she is? To throw away the love of her life over what? Her pride? This fandom's OOC Fanon Pen is a disservice to Penelope's actual character.

Her love for Colin is steadfast. It's made of tougher stuff than all that. It has survived everything that has been thrown at it. Distance, other people, Portia. And y'all really, truly believe that a singular statement will make her go 'Naw, I don't want it anymore!' PUHLEASE. Even when she offers him that annulment, you KNOW she knows it's not on the table.

Stop playing. OF COURSE she didn't call off the wedding. Of COURSE she chose to understand where he was coming from and went 'I didn't mean to trap you, Colin, I love you'. Of course she asks what the marriage will be and is comforted by the fact that he still wants to go through with it.

Penelope Featherington has loved Colin most of her life. It has been one of the few constants in her existence. He has been good to her in said existence, consistently. He's listened, he's cared, he's apologized to her, he's taken ownership of his actions, he's invited her to be more open, he's joked with her, he's supported her, he saw her when she was invisible. She. Loves. Him. And for good reason.

It's not going away because of one line. Or two. Or three. Come back next time when you actually understand her.

God, if you told me a month ago I would be knee-deep in a Grantaire and subsequently Grantaire/Enjolras and subsequently Enjolras obsession.....

I know & remember very little about RTD as a person but I do remember he left DW to care for his dying partner and that his partner has since died. And the way that this is so evident in his approach to 14 and 15, it’s phenomenal.

2005 Davies was interested in high drama, big stakes, the roughest heartbreak that could exist. And now he’s lived it, and it feels like his approach to the show has shifted as he has shifted!

14 getting to rest, Wilf alive off-screen, Donna’s memories returned - 15 leaving his trauma and his heartbreak and his pain with 14 in order to begin again fresh and new and ALIVE…it is all so meaningful to me!!!
