Kate: *is hugging Penelope * Colin: Hey! It’s my turn to hug Penelope ! Colin: *grabs Penelope * Eloise: *kicking down the door* What do you mean, “yOuR tUrN”? We agreed now is my time slot! Kate: No, It’s still my turn! Penelope : *suffocating* Guys, I love you, but just because I’m the smallest doesn’t mean you can be hugging me constantly! Colin: But we need the moral support! Kate: And you’re small! Which is cute! Eloise: If I don’t hug you right now I think the depression will kick in and my body will stop functioning. Penelope : *close to tears* Well- I, I guess.

Going crazy wondering what poses they’ll have to pull off in order to kiss with their insane height difference

[musicalnerd4ever]

I’m a tiny bit confused by this. Is Luke saying that, when his feelings for Pen begin surfacing, he continues to flirt with other debutants? Or, does the flirting diminish? Cannot figure out Luke’s meaning here.

Excerpts from Luke’s new interview

[musicalnerd4ever]

Did she have a lover? Was all that nonsense about never having been kissed exactly that-nonsense? Dear God, was this fire burning in his belly... jealousy? Julia Quinn, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton

And this is exactly why, for once, I am looking forward to a love triangle.

sooooooo anyone going to talk about how Debling and Anderson are being styled exactly the same and are very clearly the same age (late 30s to mid 40s) but one of them is going for a MILF (respectable and good, also big mood) and the other is going for a teenager (get away from her or I'll slaughter you where you stand)? no? just me?

okay

i'm screaming at the top of my lungs because this is going to knock colin off his axis and have him spinning into the abyss. because he's only ever seen pen as a friend, his penpal, eloise's best friend, and then all of the sudden this beautiful voluptuous woman blooms and he's like...wait a fucking second. and she's beautiful and funny and...shes being courted by other men.

i...

pen is walking around with her blue dresses and her side pony and her sparkling eyes?! and you expect colin not to be absolutely unhinged this season?!

Colin's thoughts when he sees Penelope sneaking away unchaperoned...

Are Penelope and Debling eloping?

Are they meeting in secret when secret meetings are reserved for Colin, and him alone?

Is he too late to protect Penelope from making a big mistake meeting Debling alone? He thought. No.

He will stop her and let her come to her senses so his carriage follows her hired cab into the city.

This. Also, I do firmly believe that Eloise will be concerned for both Colin and Pen as the two of them become closer. With Pen’s secret and Colin’s new goal to ruin Lady Whistledown, Eloise will definitely be worried for both.

When I first heard Eloise had struck up a friendship with Cressida I was mad! But based on the spoilers I've heard of Episode 1 I'm starting to get it. And furthermore, I'm excited to see the character growth Eloise has in store.

Eloise is hurt by Pen's secret, not only that it was kept secret from her, but because of the things LW chooses to write vs. the things Eloise wished she'd write about. I'm also guessing there's some jealousy mixed in, too (Pen actually did something while Eloise just talks of doing something).

However, spoilers indicate that when Cressida gets vile towards Pen at the garden party, Eloise steers Cressida away. She knows how Cressida treats Pen and does what she can to shield Pen from further cruelty in that moment. Also, when Cressida rips Pen's dress at the Danbury Ball spoilers indicate that Eloise mouths "sorry" to Pen and also calls Cressida out on her behavior the next day.

I'm happy to hear that Eloise hasn't lost her sense of self completely and despite being hurt by Pen, she still cares for her. She's processing her feelings without seeking revenge on Pen. I believe we'll see them reunited by the end of Season 3.

That’s exactly what I’m referring to! Intimacy.

I’m so ready for these two to be « here’s all my baggage and issues and fears, it is who I am, I’m working on it, but I’m also terrified that it might drive you away » and for the other to just be like « hell no, we’re walking through every storm together » because there is no else that get them as much as they do each other

POLIN JEALOUSY/ADVICE ONE-SHOT

Colin fights his jealousy after watching Penelope and Lord Debling dancing together at a ball, is teased by Benedict, and seeks advice from Violet.

The silver beads threading Penelope's hair seemed to glow like tiny moons. If he'd had parchment and pen, Colin might've noted the perfect juxtaposition of fiery red locks and sparkling silver. He noticed everything--the way her dress swayed so effortlessly against the floor despite her stiff grip on Lord Debling. Was it only Colin's imagination, or did her gloved fingertips hover an inch from his shoulders?

…perhaps he was only imagining it. He reminded himself that Penelope's stiffness was for the sake of propriety. Of course she’d want to touch Debling. He was a gentleman, for one, and even Colin had to admit that he had his own upper-class swagger. A little posh for Colin’s tastes, but from the looks being cast his way across the ballroom floor, Colin knew the lord had made a lasting impression on this season’s eligible debutantes.

Colin hastened for a sip of wine, only to discover that he had drained his glass. He turned away as a certain red-headed beauty twirled across the floor (more gracefully than he had ever allowed himself to notice). He nearly dropped his glass as he struck Benedict in the chest.

“Steady there, brother,” Ben said, putting a hand against Colin’s heaving chest. “What’s the hurry?” He cast a glance over Colin’s shoulder, and the pieces seemed to fall into place. “I’ll say, your friend seems to be enjoying herself. If ‘enjoying yourself’ is best expressed by a scowl, that is.” He tipped his glass. Colin shot him a glare, even though his heart lifted a bit at this last sentiment.

“Oh, don’t be such a grouch,” Ben said, pushing his glass into Colin’s available hand. “While you’re at the table, fetch me another drink, won’t you?”

“I’m not your waiter,” Colin huffed, stifling the urge to turn back to the dance floor once more. It was like an itch, only scratching it burned like a rash.

“You could do with a break. Somehow my ‘sturdy’ little brother has spent the night looking quite pathetic in the corner.”

“I’m not pathetic,” Colin said, and pain tightened his chest. 

Ben rolled his eyes, still looking across the dance floor. “Say, maybe I ought to have a word with this Debling fellow. See if his eye for art is as keen as his eye for a wife.”

“Give him my best,” Colin grumbled, sounding more pathetic by the second.

Benedict gave him a sturdy pat on the shoulder. “And you, give Ms. Featherington your best while I do it. Now, hurry along now and get those drinks before the dance is over.” With a wink, he rejoined the sea of lords and ladies.

Colin gazed across the open floor once more. The waltz was approaching its conclusion. Pen’s hair looked on fire in the torchlight. His mind wandered to the fragments of a dream—Pen in the garden, her eyes twinkling a magnetic blue, her lips a luscious pink. He had leaned in just enough to catch the scent of her hair—like the wisteria garden, only…newer, fresher, somehow, and then—

“Colin, dear. Are you feeling alright?” His mother’s voice stopped him in his tracks. Her brow furrowed, and he hurried to right himself, as he had taught himself to do long before Penelope had pounded her way into the forefront of his mind.

Some things, it seemed, had not changed. He had a guard up, and even his beloved mama could not crumble it.

“Very well, mother,” he managed, swaying slightly on his feet. “Merely...looking for a refill.”

“Not feeling up to a waltz tonight, I take it?” The look she gave him suggested she knew there was a particular reason for it—Colin was not one for skipping dances. 

He had been avoiding his mother, he realized. Was that a flicker of hurt in her eyes? More than his brothers or sisters, Violet Bridgerton had always had an eye out for these things. And if that was the case, should he not be using her knowledge to his advantage?

“Mother,” he began, aware of the blush suffusing his cheeks. “Forgive me, I know we are in company, but I must ask. Do you believe the best foundation for love is friendship?”

She smiled, crinkling the skin around her eyes. Lovely eyes, so open and trusting. He suddenly hated himself for having avoided her, even if it was unintentional. Perhaps it was because of this conversation that he had kept himself from her. 

And something told him that she knew this as well as she whispered, “I think you already know the answer to that.”

Lady Portia Featherington: *looking for Penelope in the Queens garden since she is missing* I can't imagine Penelope being late to her own wedding. Her and Lord Debling are a fine match. Where on earth could she be? Lady Violet Bridgerton: I've no idea but every young bride goes through jitters. Perhaps she is merely collecting her thoughts--- Colin Bridgerton: *stumbles from a hedge maze with leaves in his hair and cravat undone* Oh, um. Mother. Lady Featherington. I....was helping Penelope with her dress. Penelope Featherington: *comes from hedge maze adjusting dress* You couldn't have said I GOT LOST?
