S4 things that are being gatekept by production:

- Daddy Colin

- Masquerade Colin

- Baby Lord Featherington's name

- Kate

- Kanthony Baby

- Michaela

- Gregory for some reason??

Am I missing anything?

Everyone else: Polin made Portia believe in love.

Me: After Colin gave Portia a dressing down and she had a big think and a chat with Varley, Portia realised that Colin genuinely cares about Penelope and genuinely wants to protect her. Then, once she got over herself, she remembered that he was loaded and from a very influential family. With the knowledge that her new son-in-law is financially sound, naturally protective and socially accepted, she acknowledges that he meets her "you know what is romantic? Security" criteria and as a result is willing to entertain that Polin's love for one another might be real.

I hope you guys think I’m cool. I’m not, but I hope you think so anyway.

He's just so much more attractive as an awkward lovable dork than a player

Does anybody else lowkey hope when we get to s5 and the Bridgertons discover Phillip's letters in Eloise's room, Anthony rants and raves and calls Phillip a rake and a scoundrel for writing to an unmarried young lady and Colin's just like "whats the big deal? I wrote to Penelope and you were fine with that" and Anthony is like "YOU DID WHAT?" and Benedict just gives Colin a look that very much gives "and how did that work out for you bro?"

I love that the carriage scene bafta nomination is specifically about Colin's love confession because clearly the baftas people looked at the scene as a whole and were like ...we can't air this actually and honed in on the the one aspect of the scene that they can show during an awards ceremony.

But even more so because this is the first Bridgerton s3 nomination that highlights Luke, who outside of the Polin fandom has so far been getting overlooked despite his acting this season being incredible.

Like 4/5 months ago I started writing Polin fanfics for my own amusement and I thought if any of them are good I'll maybe upload them to ao3 but now I have a hellfire 99,107 word wip document with 20 different half-started fics because I get great ideas but don't know how to turn them into full compelling stories and I'm at the point where I'm wondering if I should maybe just start uploading them unplanned and unfinished to get them out of this document 😅

So... the Polin plotline is definitely gonna be, at least in part, convincing Lady Featherington to move out so they can have like 5 minutes alone to fuck right?

I'm hoping for a sitcom level subplot. Colin puts on a good face in front of Portia and the second she leaves the room his smile drops and he's like, "Pen we have to get her out of this house she's driving me crazy." Pen agreeing to talk to her, only to crumble under Portia's very obvious maneuvering. Colin is like, "Come on it can't be that hard to talk to her, I'll do it."

Colin crumbles even faster than Pen and Pen is like, "So how did that talk go again?"

Proposal: Violet and Edmund spin-off framed as an interview between Violet and Penelope who's writing a romance novel inspired by their love story. As the series progresses we start getting snippets of Polins childhood and their marriage at present as Penelope realises how much her own love story parallels her mother-in-law's.

I am ✨️obsessed✨️ with the cheek pinch.

Because, while Portia is giving, "My lovely son 🥰 the man of the house 🥰 my darling daughter's wonderful husband 🥰 the father of my only grandson who saved us all from destitution 🥰" Colin's expression is screaming "Yes...hello Portia...it's good to see you too... dear God please leave me alone" and the awkward vibes are perfect.

I'm one day closer to Colin/Portia shenanigans

Having seen that Nic and Luke want to do silly romcom stuff in S4 and it looking likely that the Featherington sisters aren't coming back, does this mean that by marrying Penelope and fathering Lord Featherington, Colin could become a fully fledged Featherington and partake in schemes and shenanigans?

Baby girl Colin 🥹

Colin and Portia are so adorable!

[soirialc]

We always talk about Colin singing to baby Lord Featherington in s4 but I'm yet to see anyone suggest Polin dancing playfully together in either their bedroom or the Featherington drawing room.

The church scene set a precedent for them being that couple that would still dance together in their living room into their eighties and I truly want that for them.

S5 cold open: an unhinged sex montage of all the married siblings with their respective partners with a lively strings cover and a Whistledown voiceover about love and happiness that ends abruptly with Eloise sat alone in the silent Bridgerton drawing room fingering at a folded letter, staring into space. Suddenly, she stands up and exits, the scene cuts to her climbing up into a carriage and driving off. Opening credits.

[soirialc]

S4 has such potential for being the most dramatic season finale if the writers are brave enough, between the Bridgertons breaking Sophie out of jail, John passing away and Eloise running away there's so much they can shove into 408 for major drama.

Luke Newton: "I'd like to think that I'm maybe less of a pushover, maybe slightly, like, stronger willed [than Colin]"

My head since he said that: oh yeah s4 Colin is losing every argument with Portia

-> Colin and Penelope will be living in Penelopes childhood bedroom, and Portia will keep the lady of the house's suite

-> Who even is Thomas or Elliot? Lord Featherington is gonna be called Patrick or some shit.

[soirialc]

We're all in agreement that Colin intentionally implied to his brothers that he had compromised Penelope so Anthony couldn't oppose their engagement like he did with Marina right?
