#happy polin week :)

Polin during sexy time:

Penelope: *giggles*

Colin: *from between her legs without stopping pleasuring her* Why are you giggling?

Penelope: *whimpers* It's nothing.

Colin: No, tell me. Am I doing something wrong?

Penelope: *moans* No, you're great.

Colin: *smirks* Then what?

Penelope: Just look at you.

Colin: *confused* What?

Penelope: Mr. I-Would-Never-Dream-Of-Courting-Penelope-Featherington between Penelope Featherington's legs. Isn't it something?

Colin: *blushes* Penelope... I was stupid. I've already apologized thousands times...

Penelope: *pushing his head towards her so he can continue* Try harder then.

Polin Week: Day One

♡ Favourite Quote 

“His love hadn't been a thunderbolt from the sky. It had started with a smile, a word, a teasing glance. Every second he had spent in her presence it had grown, until he’d reached this moment, and he suddenly knew. He loved her.”

Polin + Touching

[your3fundamentaltruths]

So really, there was no urgent need to move up the wedding.

Except that he wanted to.

But what if he couldn't?

Or a book/show fusion AU wherein Colin’s devious plan to rush the wedding is overtaken by events entirely beyond his control.

Polin Week 2024 Day One: Favorite Quote

[agir1ukn0w]

so it looks like I've been getting one of two types of asks lately:

I obviously won't be addressing type #2, but as for type #1, I've already said what I needed to say many times over. It was one fucking post and I wasn't aiming to call out the entire kanthony fandom, only the actions of a few obnoxious bigots (which NONE OF YOU, polins or kanthonies, should be denying that you have at this point). If I had known the details about what the kanthony fandom was also facing I probably would have addressed that as well. All y'all needed to do was let me know what I needed to know in an even-tempered way and I would have been like "yeah, no, you're absolutely right and I am supporting you all the way." which I do, btw, and you are. but because you decided you knew everything about me after one fucking post and projected all your issues onto me, I'm not going to engage with this anymore. "good riddance," you're probably saying. yeah. good fucking riddance. I gave an opinion that was not as well informed as it should have been and I should have known more.

but I also wasn't wrong.

Colin: So? Did you find it pleasing?

Penelope: What?

Colin: What I did to you yesterday in the carriage.

Penelope: *almost spitting her lemonade* Dear God! Colin, we are at a ball!

Colin: *shrugging* Was I good to you?

Penelope: *blushing* This is certainly not something that we should dis-

Colin: Because you were fantastic.

Penelope: *blushing even harder and at the same time feeling rather smug* Oh... Well. Then... Yes... Thank you. You are also very... gifted when it comes to these things.

Colin: I'm very glad. Then it is settled.

Penelope: *confused af* What is settled?

Colin: We are going to marry. We will live in Bloomsbury and we will have four children. Oh, and I'm going to have a lot of fun ravishing you in carriages.

Penelope: *shook and impressed at the same time*

Polin Week: Day Four

Polin Day 💛

“On the sixth of April, in the year 1812—precisely two days before her sixteenth birthday—Penelope Featherington fell in love.

It was, in a word, thrilling. The world shook. Her heart leaped.”

A list of what I believe are the main symbolic elements of Bridgerton S3

(I’ll try to keep descriptions as brief as possible)

1. Lighting. The first and last episode titles are “Out of the Shadows” and “Into the Light”. So, all lighting, particularly on Pen, will be very significant. Throughout seasons 1 and 2, she is often cast in shadow, while the Bridgertons shine in the light. In season 3, we’ll see more direct light on her.

2. Mirrors. Yes, I know, but it’s not just about sexy times. Mirrors have been used to tell us about Pen’s secret identity, LW. Her mirror self is the true, brave, witty, brilliant self that she keeps hidden. While you’ll often see the other ladies of Bridgerton checking themselves out in mirrors (in addition to the Featheringtons, I’ve also seen Daphne, Kate, Edwina, and Violet looking into mirrors), you’ll never catch Penelope doing so. That’s the deeper significance of the mirror sex scene- Colin encourages her to confront that self.

3. Greece. This is Colin’s big symbolic element. Greek mythology will be all over the costume and production design. Obviously, we know on a base level that he loves Greece. On a deeper level, Grecian symbols will be used to reference Ancient Greek stories and mythology that will add layers of depth to the love story. Ex) Homer’s The Odyssey is about a man who must journey throughout and around Greece in order to get back to his wife, Penelope. During his journey, Penelope has to fend off a bunch of suitors who are trying to get with her. Even though she thinks Odysseus is dead, she still loves him.

4. Yellow/Blue/Green. I mean, c’mon.

5. Swans. The Bridgertons are mute swans (the regular kind). Pen is a black swan.

Sir, that is a swan.

6. Flowers. Pen is a wallflower. And actually, the meaning of flowers have always been directly explained to us (lilacs, “symbolic of first love”, tulips “they symbolize passion”). Maybe we’ll get another quote about the symbolism of flowers in season 3?

7. Writing/letters/quills/journals. A Polin love language. 🪶💌📔 Literally though, when Pen first asks anyone about sex (yeah, it was Marina, awkward, I know but 🤷), she’s made to equate it with letters.

That’s all I got for now I think.

If you’re just watching Bridgerton because it’s pretty and cute and sexy, totally fine. Watch it however you want to watch it. If you want to go further, really feel things, maybe get a greater sense of catharsis, or at least get more of the ‘oh, damn!’ factor out of it, pay attention to the above elements. They will be shown and not told. If you are stuggling to understand what the symbols mean, hmu. I’m happy to help. I’ve only been on Bridgerton tumblr for a week and a half, but I can say I’ve already seen great analyses from @bingiessm @ktbeets & @sea-owl .

And if there’s anything I didn’t include, but should have, please let me know. I want to learn more, always. 💛
