#like i have beef with some fic tropes that need to be redone

[devastatinglygreen]

Is there a fan theory from Part 2 that’s just made you go “….nah” Personally I hate the idea that Penelope knew she was pregnant when she offered the annulment. That probably stems from my dislike of Baby Baron Featherington allegedly coming from their first time (allegedly bc since it was not explicitly stated in show I choose not to acknowledge it. In my French vanilla fantasy that baby was created post Butterfly Ball sex marathon.) Also probably since I am not an angst girlie, EPS 7&8 already put my poor heart through enough w/o thinking of Pen dealing with that news while Colin was (understandably!) distant.

ohhh intrigue.

i think had she known she was pregnant they would have added it for extra angst, ha. i know it's currently trending in the fic world to have her run off and be pregnant alone (definitely super easy in the 1800s for a woman when women essentially had no rights. no issues at all and all men she'd come across would be super helpful of a woman traveling alone and never question her. also i just don't think penelope would run away but that's me) but i don't think i care for that either tbh.

i haven't kept up with fan theories but i did keep a running list of theories that people had (and maybe overreacted to) before parts 1 & 2 that had me going nahhhh and not a single one of them was correct/happened so i think fandom in general takes the most extreme case of anything and then blows it way out of proportion.

don't worry tho, whatever headcanon you dislike most, whichever one has absolute canon proof that it didn't happen and is totally made up will be the one you hear/see the most for years to come.💀

if you want that baby to be a post butterfly ball baby, i will support you 100% just to help even it out for you.😌
