HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING.

[anthonydumb]

this homeless guy is now living in my head rent free and he wont get out

[denkilightning]

these two piss me off so badly because lloyd misses jay In His Bones and when lloyd trusts him they work together so well and lloyd still looks to jay for reassurance and when jay asks he wears that fuck ass backpack with the case in it but both of them are actively making themselves distrust the other and lloyds so judgy of jays choices because he still holds him in such high regard that he knows jay is better than this, because it was jay who dragged him onto the bounty kicking and screaming and it was jay who taught him he was always better than he thought and aaaaaaaaaaa

the afterparty

[stophoranmyheartaround]

As an actor and writer myself, I love when a show will do little phrase callbacks that are so loaded and can have so much punch. And for S3P1 so far in my head, one of my faves has been what I’ve started calling “the ‘of course’ discourse.”

For me, Colin kicks it off in 3.2 in that gorgeous final scene in the Featherington garden when Pen asks if she can ask him something and Luke Newton delivers that “of course” without hesitation. He’ll do anything for her, no question. Colin is here for Pen. (I could get into what all was he expecting/feeling in this late night visit but that’s another time perhaps…) The loaded part of that “of course” obviously comes from Pen’s response here but now we’re off. At the end of this exchange, we all know Colin’s world is ROCKED. SHOOK. CANDLE FULLY BRIGHT. (Those fierce flames in his dream sequence immediately opening 3.3 aren’t just mood lighting IMO.)

And then we see how every time Colin responds “of course” after that shift, they mean so much more. Like him affirming to Alice and Will that it’s “of course” the goal for her to find a husband. He doesn’t think that anymore. But it’s what he’s expected to say and agree to. (Again, great layering by Newts.) Like agreeing to act like he’s not talking to Pen in the tent to get the deets about Debling. He’s agreeing but he doesn’t want that to be the case. Like under the willow tree when everything is crumbling on his end with Pen but he’s still trying to agree to what she seemingly wants. (Fab work on both their parts here because no one is really saying what they fully mean.)

But the best part to me is the gut-wrencher when Pen gets involved in that final scene of 3.3. Colin has approached her, determined to find out the answer to his all-important question confirming their feelings, and as he’s drawn into her lips and can’t quite get the words out and Pen is definitely feeling a lot of things back, there’s that block from Debling with his reminder of their time to dance. And Pen and Colin have that lingering look, Colin wants so desperately to ask and can’t muster the words and Pen can’t help herself on her end because she is also SO conflicted. But she turns and takes Debling’s offered hand and delivers that “Of course, my Lord” that just hurts all around. The kick in of “Happier Than Ever” is the perfect amplifier here because Colin AND Pen are represented here. Yes, a part of Pen enjoys her dance but she would’ve enjoyed it even more if she thought it could’ve been her and Colin. Colin is trying to process how him letting that moment go could’ve been letting go of more than he bargained for. (Absolutely brilliant all around here, especially the musical button of his look right on that last plucked chord at the start.)

Ugh. I just love it. (I know there’s more I could go on about but this is wordy enough.) I can’t wait for S3P2 and to see all the moments we get in store this back half. And here’s to many more layered moments, of course. 😉

Paper Rings

Pairings: Colin + Penelope Bridgerton

Summary: A snippet into how Colin and Penelope’s wedding might turn out.

Masterlist | Albums | Lover Album

The wine is cold, like the shoulder that I gave you in the street. Cat and mouse for a month or two or three, now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe.

Colin’s feelings for Penelope grew softly like a burning candle - the feelings were always there (it’s why he always looked for her at every ball and social situation), it just took him far too long to feel the warmth he had become accustomed to.

He had watched her from the other side of one of the many ballrooms they found themselves him, he had always searched for her. It wasn't until after their kiss - that his feelings for her hit him square in the face.

They had just watched Francesca marry Lord John Stirling, and his little sister Fran had just become the Countess of Kilmartin. He had always cried at weddings, his little sister's was no exception. Colin knew he would cry when Penelope walked down the aisle in three days, to share their life together.

He reached over and took his fiancée's hand in his to stop her from following the congregation out of the chapel. "Hello, you," he smiled down at her.

"Hello," Penelope says quietly, she had told him last night that she was the writer behind the Lady Whistledown sheets. He had a fairly sleepless night as he came to terms with the woman he loves more than life itself - is the same vindictive woman who announced Lady Crane's pregnancy, and nearly destroyed Eloise's reputation.

But, as he looked at what had happened the previous seasons - looking from Penelope's perspective. She saved him from a loveless marriage to a woman who would have tried to tell him her twins were his, she saved Daphne from a dreadful courtship and potential marriage to Lord Berbrooke, she saved Eloise from the goddamn Queen of England!

"You, my beautiful bride-to-be, are bloody brilliant!"

Penelope looks up at Colin in surprise. Those weren't the words she expected him to say. She blinks a few times, trying to understand if she heard him correctly.

"You have had the entire ton wrapped around your little finger for three years. They wait for any kind of gossip coming from you. You have hidden your identity from them all this time!"

He takes her by her hands and spins her around in the middle of the aisle. "I can not wait the next three days until the moment when we are standing at that altar," Colin points up at the altar. "And we exchange our vows."

I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings, uh-huh, that's right, darling, you're the one I want! And I hate accidents, except when we went from friends to this, uh-huh, that's right, darling, you're the one I want! In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams. Oh! You're the one I want!

Colin felt tears coming to his eyes, as he watched Penelope walk down the aisle, on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. Dankworth. He had always been one to get emotional at weddings, he did at Daphne's and both of Anthony's, he nearly sobbed when his baby sister Francesca tied the knot. But, now, it was his turn.

The sunlight shining through the windows bounced off her red curls, her veil gently laying against the back of her head, a beautiful bouquet gripped tightly in her hands with a single ray of sunshine shining from the engagement ring which had once belonged to Violet Bridgerton, the sole believer that two people could go from being just friends to more.

She met him in front of the altar, smiling up at him as Mr. Dankworth stood only slightly between Colin and Penelope, waiting for the cue from the officiant to pass Penelope over to Colin (a part of her transition from Featherington to Bridgerton).

"Who gives this woman away?" He asked.

"I do," Mr. Dankworth said, leaving a familiar kiss on Penelope's knuckles, shaking hands with Colin and making his way back down the steps to the Featherington side.

Kiss you once ‘cause I know you had a long night, kiss you twice ‘cause it’s gonna be alright, three times ’cause you waited your whole life.

For once in his life, Colin didn’t care about a wedding breakfast. He wanted to go to his new home with his new wife and do unspeakable things to her. Well, unspeakable to the rest of the ton…

Even though he said he didn’t care about the wedding breakfast - that does not mean he wasn’t going to eat. That would be completely out of character for him.

But he was going to make it well known how much he adores his wife.

Eventually, Portia got sick of looking at Colin fawning over her third daughter (her two other sons-in-law hadn’t acted like this when they got married, or since in front of her) and almost demanded they be sent on their ‘honeymoon’.

Colin took this as the green light to hide his wife away from the ton for nearly a month. That was his plan anyway.

His plan after their month hidden away, was to travel to some of the countries he had already visited - but now with his wife.

I want to drive away with you, I want your complications too. I want your dreary Mondays, wrap your arms around me, baby boy.

After greeting the staff of their new home, Colin carried Penelope up the stairs to their chambers (which they had already done and had some… intimate… moments before they were wed).

Colin shut the door behind them, making sure to turn the lock so they wouldn’t be disturbed.

He turns in his spot to look at his wife. His wife . "I love you," Colin tells her. "I love you with everything I am, everything I have been and everything I hope to be."

"Colin..." Penelope trails off, looking up at her future husband with her wide eyes.

"I love you with my past, and I love you for my future. I love you for the children we will have and for the years we will have together. I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles."

He reaches out to cup her face, and gently wipes away the tear. “Nothing could ever make me not love you. Even Whistledown.”
