I’ve seen a theory going around about when Pen tells Colin he doesn’t need to save her, just love her scene that she told him she was pregnant off screen because the way their hands went towards her stomach.

However, I feel like if that were the case, Colin wouldn’t have still acted as distant after that and Pen wouldn’t have mentioned the annulment. I mean she would be an unwed mother and Colin would have an illegitimate baby.

Thoughts on the theory?

okay, at first, i was going to say i didn't agree with the theory. my first response was going to be something like, maybe her bringing his hands that close to her, is just pen's way of really trying to bring him in once again, make them close. but i hopped on over to make some gifs after i looked at the scene because i'm now kind of liking and believing this theory.....

she takes his hands, which, i would like to point out that, is the first time she has been the one to do this. usually, he takes hers. and she squeezes them a little, like she's silently demanding he hear her, grabbing his attention, trying to convey that she needs to tell, nay, show him something important. she pulls his hands to him, slowly, intently, until...

they rest against her stomach!! and you can see her fingers wrap around his hands, fully holding them to her now.

and finally, she looks up, and her expression is so serious. i don't know if i'm seeing shit that isn't there, but to me, there's a tiny, tiny hint of a smile, too.

and then we have the dialogue from this moment!!

Colin: "And as long as you live with this secret… there will always be something between us."

the 'something between us' is lw. the wedge that is keeping them apart at present.

Pen: "I know. Perhaps that is the key."

and if you think of 'the key' as being 'no more secrets', then it all makes some sense.

because later on, pen reveals her identity to everyone. she decides to unveil her big secret. and if she is truly showing him here that she is pregnant, then that is also another secret revealed. am i making sense?

i'm now hearing it as something like this:

colin: as long as you keep lw to hidden, we will always have something keeping us at a distance

pen: i know, so perhaps we should no longer keep secrets

pen: *shows him by bringing his hands to her stomach that she is pregnant* this is her revealing it to him, sharing another secret, and the one that will be their last

and as for colin's distance/annulment/an illegitimate child:

penelope is not going to force colin to stay married for the baby. she loves him too much to use a child as a trap, and that's why she still mentions an annulment. her love for him is too strong - this woman would endure all the disdain and judgement of having a child out of wedlock - she is used to it, anyway, and she'd go through it if it meant colin was happier again.

and as for colin, distance doesn't mean he would abandon the child, and it doesn't mean he hasn't been checking on her. he's a big sulky boy, but he also cares so damn much. and he'd have never agreed to an annulment. once again, he loves her too much, and you bet your ass he already adores their unborn child.

i am never great at making these types of speculative posts, but i hope this makes sense. i hope it's readable. and in conclusion: i am fully a believer in this theory now, haha. and i think it's very clever of them, because now that you've brought it to my attention, anon, this tiny moment between them seems obvious, and screams 'polin baby incoming!!'

It's the thought that counts? 🍾

[lilac-hecox]

it really makes me laugh when people are like "ew Shayne's married why does Amanda flirt with him?" as if she hasn't kissed Shayne's wife? lmao

Amanda kissed Courtney! Shayne kissed Spencer! Amanda has a crush on Spencer! Let's chill out because obviously Smosh is a huge polycule.

I love your fic idea about to wedding night redo. Have you started? 👀

Hello, and thank you. Yes, I have, actually. I've been writing a lot of details and dialogue ideas in my notes. It's so late for me, but I don't want to forget anything. Anyway, here's a rough little piece I've written out...

"I am sorry for my emotions. Once again, I find myself compelled to apologise to you for not allowing you to have the wedding night you deserved, in spite of my anger and worry for you during that time. I wish so much, that we could go back in time and redo that day, Pen."

"Colin..." Penelope presses her finger against his lip, silencing him. "Forgive me for saying so, but you need to stop talking."

Colin's mouth falls open just a bit, and his brow furrows in both shock and wonder at his wife's boldness. His eyes still shine with unshed tears. "But I was only trying to—"

"You do not need to keep apologising."

????? 😊

holy shit! i've discovered your blog yesterday and i've finished "fix you", "home", "human", a few one-shots of yoongi and now "less of them"

the cliffhanger got me crazy! do you possibly know when the next part is coming out? i'm on thr edge of my seat now!

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed so much of my work 💙 it has brought me a lot of joy over the past four years, so to see others enjoying it, as well warms my heart 🥰🥰

unfortunately I have no idea when part three of less of them will be coming. I haven’t started writing it 😫 I just learned my schedule for the next two semesters of my masters program, and it seems that I’m going to be a busy bee for the rest of the year. hopefully I can find time to work on it between assignments

thank you for reading 💙💙💙

Sometimes I think how during one if the streams Courtney just casually mentioned that she knows in what outfit Shayne sleeps in

Buddy, that video it´s just so sad to watch. Now we can understad why Anthony is reassuring Ian at the end, like you said with his words, but not only that, he pats him on his back too, and then you can see even Shayne wiping his nose, I mean, we can all agree that he is a very empathetic person, you can confirm that with other videos. idk bud, that video got me a lot

EXACTLY. OFC i can't be for sure for sure but the evidence is there! Shayne looks so conserned too. And Anthony's touch to comfort him. Anthony literally says we don't wanna see sadness under Ian's eyes!! Like idk it just break my heart but also I'm happy he cried. Idk how to explain this but i feel like for a LONG time Ian holds all this feelings and sadness inside without sharing it with anyone. Because he had to be the boss but also he had to be the big bro to everyone. There's a video of him out there trying to comfort Courtney and Olivia that video literally brokes my heart every time I see it cause Ian himself has no one to comfort him. He can't say he's anxious he can't say he's sad he had to be strong for his crew but also his friends. These people never left his side even when Anthony did. And he thought he couldn't abandon them. But while all this happened he had no one. Even after mythical got them he didn't have anyone he was the boss. Now that Anthony comes back I feel like he hit that emotional button where he can't hold inside anymore. I watched him close since Anthony came back and even analyzed his eyes to body language (I'm not parasocial istg) and it always looked like he was trying SO HARD not to break. And I feel like these old memories were too much for him to handle in this video. He finally broke apart. Which is NOT a bad thing. I feel like after this it'd be easier for him to open up to Anthony and Shayne and his friends. I feel like this was like a rusty old lock that was waiting to be broken and he finally successfully broke that. Now he can express himself more. Idk if that makes sense but it is in my head.

YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE SHAYNE LOOKING AT HIM AND TRY TO ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED BUT HIS FACE LOOK RED TOO

And Anthony comforting him. Saying he doesn't wanna see sadness in Ian's eyes again 😭

And this is the Courtney Olivia video i talked about.
