If Debling isn't good enough for Fran, as the Queen herself says, because he's boring and has nothing to really offer save a title

If what Debling can offer isn't good enough for Edwina, IE: a life of security without love like what Anthony was willing to provide for her

If what Debling represents, an absent figure in a household who does not invite his wife into his plans and interests isn't a good outcome for Portia, who preaches about marrying for security and then ends up scrounging for it, regardless

Why does fandom insist that Penelope has to settle for him? That he'd be a 'better option'? Why is it that she's the one who should have hopped on the first guy with a vague interest in her and tepid emotions when Colin is right there and actually desires her? Why are other women in the series allowed to prioritize love and dream of happy endings regardless of the consequences and outcomes but Penelope should be content with being the warden of a big house as her husband fucks off without her? Why is it that all these characters deserve romances and caring but Penelope should have accepted a title and an estate and being alone?

As if Colin can't provide her security. As if Colin doesn't show interest in her and listen to her. As if he's not from a good family and will also elevate her standing in society through their marriage. As if Penelope has ever been the kind of woman to go title hunting. As if Penelope finds any kind of solace in being alone. As if Penelope isn't actively looking for connection.

Peeps who think Debling is in any way a good fit for her hate Colin, but y'all clearly hate Penelope more, because what are you even talking about? Debling opened the door after getting permission to ask to marry her and didn't even smile. Colin throws open the carriage door and does the stride of pride to show her off to his family with a grin on his face. Debling dumps her with the first SNIFF he gets of her having interest in someone else. Colin runs off after her to beg her to give him a chance and not to marry the other dude. Debling wants to leave her alone in a big house as he goes on adventures. Colin cannot go traveling without writing to her and sharing the world with her.

Penelope deserves the best just as the other women of this series do. Penelope deserves to be loved in every way- with acts of service (the balloon scene, setting up a ballroom in Bridgerton House so they can flirt), with quality time (all their lessons), with touch (carriage, dances, kisses aplenty), with words of affirmation (you are Penelope Featherington, never forget that, you are clever and warm, you do not need lessons), with gifts (a ring on her finger, a house she can make a home with him together). With big gestures like running off after her and small moments like looking for her in every room.

I'm sick of Debling. I'm sick of people who don't recognize that he had 0 emotion toward Penelope save for 'she'll do'. That he liked that she was honest and alone and didn't share his interests. That she would be content with the scraps he was willing to offer her. Not passion. Not sharing. Not cultivating a life together. Not love. Not anything except money and solitude. In what world would that ever have been enough? In what world is that best for her? I'm sick of people refusing to see that Penelope wants to be and should be and will be loved all because there's bitterness in their hearts. If you throw a dreamer into a pragmatic box, they wither. As Colin would have with Marina. As Penelope would have with Debling.

Penelope deserves the best. Penelope deserves Colin. Because Colin is the best for her, to her, with her.

If you can't see that, sucks to suck.

SPOILER

I'm watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer again and I'm at the part where Buffy returns after running away for the summer because she had to murder Angel to save the world for the 800th time.

Dude...

Why is everyone acting like Buffy is the issue? Her mom kicked her out of the house, she got expelled, was wanted for murder, and went through a tragic experience. But you hate her because she didn't talk to you for like 2 months? HUH???

When she packs up to leave again, I was like "yes, leave girly!" Her friends threw a party at her house, they refuse to talk to her, her mom doesn't want her there... I would have left as soon as I came back.

People are ACTUALLY complaining about Heartstopper not containing sex scenes?? Like... wha-.. excuse me but ya'll sum mad weird mfs for wanting two 16/17-year-olds (the characters not the actors) to bang so much to the point that you think that a queer romance with sex is 'puritanical' and 'conservative propaganda'. There's plenty of other queer media where there's full-on sex so maybe jerk off to them and leave Heartstopper as it is?? Go watch Queer As Folk or Elite or Red, White and Royal Blue or any other BL/queer series with bold and sexy dynamics??

And I think ya'll are prolly the same ppl who will watch a queer show with constant sex between the characters and go "Yeah these people really like to fetishize and hypersexualize the gays".

Love isn't always about sex so get a fucking hold of yourselves please.

You do realise things can be planned a week before a surgery and not months in advance?

Maybe stop with the conspiracies…

If it needed to be said,

I don't care how uncomfortable it made you. I won't be saying it any quieter.

[littlelillycatsworld]

how is your poor planning my problem?

if you wanted take out you could have told us and we might have ordered you food as well but instead you decided to huff and slam about the kitchen, and make our dinner a rather unpleasant experience

you've been home all day you could have made food literally whenever since your freeloading here. you could have had what the eldest made for himself and the kids but you didn't. you could have eaten whatever sunny and her parents where eating but you didn't.

we've been at work all day sakura wanted take out she got us take out

seems like a skill issue if you ask me

I don't actually know what differentiates a Pokemon from a plant, fungus, etc in some cases. I'm a massive biology nerd. Help.

The fact that a customer have the balls to say fuck off when they are in the wrong and fucked up themselves. The day I have the courage to fight back I will be absolutely unstoppable

At work, someone mentioned that they don't like their dog, and I said Wow, have you tried training it? Socialising it? (This is most people's pet problems.)

And he said, well it is completely trained, he's just used to outside dogs, but this dog is an inside dog since they've been living in a place with no yard. And his wife doesn't like the dog either because it will seek attention from her instead of going to lay in a corner all day.

Me, thinking all this is very, very strange - both of them not liking their own dog and also getting a dog in the first place if they were determined not to like it - suggested that maybe the kids could take care of it.

But the "problem" is evidently that the wife is at home alone, with the dog, most of the day, and never grew up with dogs, and just can't stand it.

I think this guy expected me to express some kind of sympathy, but, of course, I had none except for the dog.

And I just. If you get an animal, you make your bed and you LIE in it. "Not growing up" with dogs isn't an excuse to hate your pet and deny it attention. Grow up. This is a creature who is perfectly trained, sounds like a dream animal for anyone, thinks the world of you, and you just can't be bothered to even like it? Spend time with it???

This guy and his wife are losers. They need to get over themselves and figure out how to love their pet.

Heard from some other guy who failed to train his pet properly and was "scared for his kids."

These are a YOU problem, NOT an animal problem. Train your pet. Love your pet. It's not like it's hard; it's easy. If you're giving your pet a shit life or giving the pet up because you won't bother to put the time and energy into it, then you suck at life and shouldn't have gotten one in the first place.
