Don’t mind me I’m just imagining a scene where Colin’s help pays off and Penelope finally gets to dance with a suitor and the song that’s playing is the orchestra version of Mamma Mia. At first Colin is really proud and happy for her because he can see how happy she is, but then as the song goes on he slowly starts getting more and more jealous to the point where he can’t stand it anymore and he needs to step in to dance with her himself. That’s when he realizes his lessons have worked too well because she has so many men lining up to fill her dance card that there isn’t any room for him for the rest of the night and he’s just standing there with the realization that something big has shifted in how he feels about his friend Pen
they could make any believable explanation for why a character isn’t there EXCEPT lady bridgerton because kate and anthony are the “man and women of the house” and their whole job is to live there and take care of the family!!!!! i will not let them get away with not bringing kate back!!!!!!!
Like I don’t care what you have to say. You can leave me in the restaurant forever for all I care. This is part of the scene now. I’m not watching this scene any other way from this day forward
Aight, I’m tired of this “Even a wallflower can bloom” propaganda that Netflix keeps trying to force feed. Penelope is a self imposed wallflower. Through season 1 and 2, Penelope has not tried once to befriend debutantes or talk to anyone in the ton that’s her age, at least from what we’ve seen. It’s not like she tried and people were like, “gtfo my face” and that no one wanted to talk to her. Hell, Edwina tried to strike a convo with her and she ended it quickly to go sniff out Colin’s ass.
I understand how hard it can be to put yourself out there. A full blown introvert is writing this shit right now, but you can’t complain that no one notices you tied with your constant “pretty bridgerton” asshole comment when you put zero effort in talking or courting. That’s the kicker for me, she complains about being a wallflower when she made herself one. But we all know why she didn’t try to socialize; how else was LW supposed to get her content.
Penelope isn’t a victim. Penelope chose to not interact and be unseen cause she wanted to be a fly on the wall for LW for exploit, profit and disdain, more son in S2. She didn’t care about courting cause she only wanted Colin. One of the reasons why she’s doing what she’s doing now is because of Colin saying he didn’t want to date her(should’ve stuck to your guns Colin).
The upcoming season is proof that if she just tried, she would’ve been seen.
It’s not cause she’s shy, it’s not cause she has anxiety, it’s not cause she’s reserved. She is awkward, I give her that, but when it comes to men. She’s completely fine engaging in talk with women(and completely fine in tearing them down).
You know who really embodies a true wallflower: Francesca. From what we’ve seen and known from spoilers, trailer and even her promo, Francesca is reserved and rather stay to herself. She won’t deny anyone a conversation, unless the people are obviously creepy or the topic gets uncomfortable, but she’s nervous cause it’s her first time out on the marriage mart and sticking to the walls is what comforts her at the moment; it’s how she copes.
Francesca doesn’t want to be seen cause she feels she ain’t ready for the marriage mart and is nervous.
Penelope doesn’t want to be seen cause she’s a borderline sociopathic gossipmonger.
spent the afternoon at the library with my boyfriend yesterday (it was very lovely) but I decided, for shits and giggles, to read romancing mister bridgerton and let me tell you I would die for colin and penelope. I. I might have to watch bridgerton.
It is very hard to make a hero out of a kid who went off on his gap year and then came back unjustifiably convinced he was a life coach/ lifestyle guru, especially when his coaching is generally:
Colin I am a gentleman Bridgerton I love you so much like you have no idea, the carriage scene is the same as when modern men just crawl or unannounced climbed and get into the girl’s bedroom but Colin asked pen to let him in and he wasn’t gonna get inside until she said yes and he even said PLEASE and that’s why Colin will forever be the most beautiful perfect male character in media history and you can’t change my mind about it!
