just. . .do y'all remember when Polin actually loved each other in our fandom? do you remember when our posts were about how sweet they were together? when it was about how they were on one another's teams? when it was story after story and post after post of polin against the world? of 'I like you' 'I like you too'? of 'Is life meant to be this happy?' 'I think so'? Do you remember when we were all about how much Colin loved Penelope and Penelope loved Colin? When the biggest narrative was that they saw one another, made one another brave, brought out the best in each other? When the mirror was more than just a sex scene and was also a metaphor for what they saw in each other and how they reflected one another? When they were kind to each other? When we were kind to them as characters? When they were encouraging? When they were affectionate and loving and tenderhearted and messy and silly and loving with one another? When Penelope chose Colin at every turn and Colin chose her?
Where is it? Where is the love for our couple? Be honest, wanting Colin to grovel and suffer isn't for Polin fans. It's for Pen stans. Because us Colin fans are shown time and time and time again that it's okay to call a character we love an idiot, want him egregiously punished or humiliated, to see nothing good in his character at all. So who else is it meant for? I miss when we cared about them. I miss when there was a place we could go that was about their romance and tenderness. I miss when it wasn't just straight up hating on him, or us obsessed with Penelope getting with other characters, or thinking he's less than.
We have one of the *best* Male Love Leads in the entire series. And if you don't think that way. . .I just don't understand why you claim to ship this ship. We have an amazing pairing. A wonderful couple. A couple who cares about each other, a couple who builds one another up, a couple that are friends, a couple that has passion and happiness and so much potential.
Do you remember our gifsets gushing about how much he cared for her? Do you remember our metas about how they could bloom and flourish around one another? When we looked at how Colin was hypervisible but ultimately unheard and how Penelope was invisible but the loudest voice in the ton and sighed about how they fit so well with one another? Do you remember when Penelope was proud to have Colin as a partner and he showed her off at every turn? Do you remember when it wasn't a scorecard? When it wasn't about suffering and was about tenderness? Do you remember when they LOVED each other in our fandom? Do you remember when we loved them?
I remember.
And I miss it. I miss it so much.
#actually fuck it i'm untagging it#because no one fucking cares#i don't belong here and i should just take the fucking hint already#these posts are depressing#these TAGS are depressing#there's no love#there's no romance here anymore#our version of their romance has been distilled into 'heehee can't wait to see him jealous and crying over our queen'#but i want to see them in LOVE#ooey gooey happy sugary dripping in sap in love#these posts about groveling and jealousy and suffering aren't for them as a couple#where is penelope 'my husband' featherington?#where is how proud she is of Colin? how happy she is with him?#where's the tenderness? our bragging about how amazing our couple is? where's the heart eyes over their looks? their humor?#how they laugh together?#instead of seeing their lessons as quality time we've cheapened them into a series of suffering points#instead of looking at the suitors storyline and being like 'of course pen is still going to choose colin she loves him'#we want her to rub it in his face#instead of wanting introspection from colin and seeing him come to terms slowly with the fact that he loves penelope for all she is#we want a quick 'other people want her and that's not fair!' lightning strike realization#i miss when this couple was a couple#i miss when we loved them#and i miss when they loved each other#it's about drama not romance#it's about suffering and not joy#it's just painful loving this couple for both the characters and seeing them twisted into the worst versions of themselves

If I had a nickel for every time Logan or Kurt was naked on the cover of a Wolverine comic despite at no point being naked in the issue I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

a moment of silence for all us disabled ones who had to watch each of their friends move on with their lives without you and get jobs, go to school, have partners come and go, get engaged and move house etc.
shout out to my fellow struggling people who are still sitting in the same bedroom they grew up in. the ones who can't get a job, can't make new friends, can't find a partner or partners, can't move house and can't go to school.
I hope one day we can all find someone to at least sit with us in our rooms. I see you and I understand... and I'm sorry we can't be that person for each other

Can we talk about how, with bpd, even the smallest shifts in someone’s tone or behavior can feel like the end of the world? Like, someone doesn’t respond right away or seems a little “off,” and suddenly your brain is in full meltdown mode, creating a million scenarios about how they must hate you or are planning to leave.
It’s exhausting, constantly fighting with your own mind, trying to figure out what’s real and what’s just fear talking. And then, when they finally reply or everything goes back to normal, you feel ridiculous for overthinking - but that relief never seems to stick long enough to stop it from happening again.
It’s like constantly living on high alert, trying to protect yourself from hurt, but ending up hurting yourself in the process.
