I feel a lot of people misunderstand Portia in why she ask about Colin's love

One thing I find really disheartening about reactions/opinions on this episode is the conceptual clap backs of "Did Debling love her?!?!"

🙄😮‍����

Because that response makes me feel someone is missing something in the storytelling. As a response, it has never made sense to me, because.... he never had to!

'Lord Debling was a reasonable match." This guy has acted in every single way The Gentleman. This guy has money, this guy came to Lady Featherington like a respectable adult and asked for Penelope's hand, this guy will be absent, and so THIS guy also Won't Hurt Her! She laid this out in episode 4, To Portia he is an IDEAL catch.

Then comes this news of Bitch-boy Colin (painting from a Portia-esque perspective), that she read IN WHISTLEDOWN!! He does not hold water with her 🚫 This Season, all she has seen of this dude is that he is a flirt. "The most desired man of the season." Regardless of what she thinks Penelope's feelings likely are, she only sees that Colin is NOT serious about her. Freshly back from galavanting across the sea, she does see Colin as serious PERIOD. All the letters Pen wrote, All the teas at Bridgerton house....for years Portia has watched him NEVER WANTING HER! Yet somehow an engagement occurred some time between her daughter leaving a party and family breakfast the next morning... 🤨🧐 Chat shit right?? Her mind must be screaming: HELP ME UNDERSTAND! (In a snarky, passive aggressive way - because she's the one)

---

Portia has a right to feel awful disrespected that Colin "I'm a gentleman" Bridgerton didn't come to her first. Like they don't have beef!! 😳 He's been engaged to someone from the Featherington household before, yet... there was no wedding. But Pen (who she thinks of is having less attractions than Marina) somehow is different?

You know who extended the olive branch to the Featherington name to help saved them from drowning in the social ruin of the reveal of Marina's pregnancy? DAPHNE! He was mad at Marina sure, but you know who he showed he didn't care what happened to while he turned his back? You Penelope!! 🤷🏻‍♂️He could have helped soften the blow like Kate, Edwina, and Anthony tried to do after their failed wedding. But he didn't. And that's who Pen threw away an entire future to gamble on?? 🫨😣

---

And while Portia doesn't know it yet, the fault for them being in that super precarious social is the SAME EXACT fucking person who is standing in front of her like she don't smell her own shit!! (personal mad when sitting in Portia's perspective)

---

THAT 'S the guy Pen wants Portia to celebrate, who Pen believes is a better choice. Portia's looking for the better. "What more can you ask for?" she says an episode 4. The only thing Penelope seemed to believe held her back from commiting to Debling as her husband is this 'Love' nonsense. So if Colin is the Superior choice, he must be giving her what she thought was missing from a marriage, something she thought Debling couldn't provide!

"You have it?" - Portia.

Penelope says she's SURE he CARES about her. But 'care' wasn't the exceptional parameter? To be so certain that you just threw away a good 90% qualification-meeting gentleman, you must have heard this truth that gives you that 10% to match the fantasy were "LOVE"(which Big P don't believe in) is. Right? You thought, you know, but what did he say it??? Has he told you he's giving you what makes choosing him over Debling worth it? Are you getting what you gambled for?!

Portia looks DEFEATED because Pen is betting on fantasies and wishes, without even the vocalized proof of Colin's feelings!!!!!!

"Oh Penelope"= "Girl I feel bad for you", "you sweet summer child." She's repulsed that Pen was SO short-sighted.

I feel like while her reaction is extreme and harsh, it really isn't too difficult to imagine a semi-reasonable parent (with Portia's trauma) may be distraught hearing that their daughter chose to follow a career in ..... like the Arts, that she loves (Colin), when she already had a place at Yale law School (Debby). Without Colin's declaration it's like she mailed in her withdrawal letter and is packing to move into an artist collective commune -- without a lease! Not even guaranteed a spot, setting fire to your previous life plans! It is not right, and it is not okay to treat your children as if they need to live their life as you would. However, for someone who holds security above all Pen has thrown away her last chance at a good life. Pen has shattered a chance at bedrock that Portia knows Pen don't even understand how much she should value! Portia has shielded her from how it feels to watch the ground you've built your life on crumble from underneath her. The fear of having no husband, no son, and no money. Which I think adds to the anger in her tone.

Debling never NEEDED to love Penelope. Why he was a better, more secure match than Colin was everything BESIDES love. What makes Debling a valuable prospect has a very little overlap with what makes Colin Penelope's first choice. Therefore trying to grade them on the same standard..... it doesn't matter if Portia cares about love, it doesn't matter if Debling would EVER say he loves Penelope. So while it matters if Colin has told her that he loves her, he's the only one who has to.

I do not think she is right all the time, or even often. But one can likely tell from the above that I'm a Portia Featherington fan. I'm a fan of food in tummies and shoes on feet. Did she decide she needed big bucks to eat and dress the way she wanted.......👀🙄

---

As someone who looks at Colin as an insecure 23-year-old male... He is my baby. I defend all his big emotions. When he's having a temper-tantrum, I let him kick himself tired. I'm never villainizing him for basically anything he says or does because..... I know he's really a soft boy. And I know Pen doesn't mind. But that doesn't mean we can blame Portia (without having the audience view) for seeing him differently.

For your consideration: Daniel and Louis are watching Lestat perform on stage, and Daniel leans over and whispers "wanna blow this joint? There's a real rock band playing just down the street." The two of them make a break for freedom, leaving a seething Lestat still singing on stage, watching them go.

I've become bored with the idea of trying to pin the label of the perfect victim on any of the characters on IWTV. All of them are monsters, all of them have done or said horrific things to hurt each other and they probably will in the future. If you think your personal fave has the moral high ground at the moment, I guarantee you that some future action or revelation will eventually tarnish their halo.

Not spoiling as a said..

But on a side note… the question is…

How can I sleep now?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hurray second chapter is outtt!!!, our girl stella is about to sufferrrr, cassandra is a vicious bitch and valtor is a master manipulator, your writing is so good it almost made me empathise for chimera ~almost~ I mean I have to recognise that she is the product of her mother's education even though that does not excuse her actions one bit. I didn't think you would actually give luna a lover oooof radius is furious (I didn't mean for it to rime but oh well), I know that luna has a boyfriend in the winx comics anyway the fact that cassandra can't seduce radius without valtor's help truly shows how pathetic she is but is radius fully under valtor's spell at this point or is some part of him engaging in this affair out of pure pettiness in order to get back at luna because I can see him do that.

Stella's excitement for her princess ball breaks my heart! speaking of the ball I am happy to see luna actually suck it up and attend the ball, showing that despite it all she is a good mother who still prioritises her daughter's happiness, I wonder how she will react to the public announcement of the engagement as well as seeing her daughter get turned into monster, I especially wonder how she will react seeing radius order the guards to chase and kill stella. I think cassandra is going to try to arrest luna, put her in jail or something in order to make sure that she doesn't undermine her plans of taking over the kingdom. On another note, how has life been treating you recently? I'm back at school which is really tiring and also the reason why I took so long to read this new chapter anyways I can't wait to see what you have in store next and I wish you the best byeee✨️

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Season 3 = let's make Stella suffer! why not?

ahahha, no empathy for Chimera. She may have been raised by a b1tch mother, but she's a b1tch herself u.u

Radius is 99% under her spell! He's so petty he would totally get involved with someone just to make sure Luna was jealous too, but his first choice wouldn't have been Cassandra. Still ... he fell first and harder for Luna, he'll never forget her <3

all the answers will come next chapter! AND THERE WILL BE A LOT OF SUFFERING :3

Life has been pretty good, actually. thank you for asking <3

I started teaching in a new school yesterday and THE KIDS (well, teens) ARE AMAZING! I still have to meet a couple of classes, but the two I've known are THE BEST. I got sooooo lucky!

Fingers crossed that it lasts <3

love youuuu! talk soon <3 <3 <3

I love treating TV like an endurance test. How many episodes of this show can I watch before I physically go mad

so my aunt stopped by earlier w her/my cousin’s dog Maverick and Blue loves Maverick which is good! so she could get some energy out before mamaw and my great aunt come home -- but she tried letting Maverick off the leash bc Blue does so well off leash (to be fair, we’ve done a LOT of training for her to be as good at off leash as she is) and he took off into the woods behind my house so we (my aunt, me, Blue) took off after him and my aunt got scratched up quite a bit before she found him and got him back but Blue enjoys the creek so there’s at least something positive out of it
