A message from Coleen/@polinpink on twitter, who is the incredible person behind this project:

Hello, Polins! In light of the ongoing g*nocide in Palestine, we are reaching out to your kind hearts to support a non-profit fundraiser for a non-profit charity called Care For Gaza.  Our love for Polin has definitely created something so beautiful across all communities – with all the fanarts, fancams, Polin edits to Taylor Swift's music and to various artists, to gifs and gifsets, to fanfiction, to a couple of remarkable podcasts, and some others. That love is surely rooted in something so infinitely kind and beautiful and emphatic, that is why we are reaching out to all of you to support a fundraising campaign which we have proudly called Polins x Care For Gaza. Polins x Care For Gaza will host the Polin Fanarts for a Cause Raffle from February 26th to March 11th, 2024 at polinsxcareforgaza.myshopify.com. All proceeds will go directly to Care For Gaza. More details to come on the website launch on February 26th.

I'll be honest, my biggest takeaway from the sneak peek wasn't, "Yes Pen, read him for filth!" It was, "Oh Pen is totally shame spiralling out of control." Because yes, Penelope has every right to be upset with Colin and tell him why she is upset, but most of the emphasis in this scene is on just how much Penelope hates herself. She doesn't believe Colin when he compliments her dress (a direct parallel to scenes Pen has had with Marina and Edwina in the past), she calls herself a spinster even though she's only 19 (I'm willing to bet Portia refers to Penelope as a spinster at some point before this scene), she assumes Colin sees her as an embarrassment, and again she points out that even though she managed to change her wardrobe, she is still a laughingstock.

This whole scene does way more to demonstrate Penelope's insecurities than it does to paint Colin as someone who needs to grovel for forgiveness. If anything, Colin is handling the situation maturely. He openly communicates his feelings, he doesn't deny what he said, and it's clear he wants to work through the issue.

Penelope is so unhappy with herself that she's taking it out on him more than she should. It's easier to blame him for the one thing he said rather than force herself to look inward. But I think once Colin comes to her again with his plan to help her find a husband, this is going to shift. Penelope will be put in a position where she will have to reflect on those insecurities and Colin will be the one with her on that journey.

Which brings us back to Nicola talking about Penelope putting Colin on a pedestal. He might be off of that pedestal after what he said last season, but she still doesn't view him as a fully flawed human being yet. Once Penelope forgives Colin at the end of 3x01, it's going to open up her eyes and allow her to see Colin as a full human being and as her equal (not as her idol). This is how we get "You're my mess," and "You're the imperfect man of my heart."

Season 3 is for the overthinkers. The ones who always had the crush but were never the crushes. The ones who only see flaws when they look in the mirror. The ones who throw themselves into books because those worlds treat them better than life ever has. The ones who are just so goddamn tired.

Something wrong, Pen? I mean between us. (x)
