joining the bridgerton discourse late to say that people are extremely overly harsh on penelope in a way they are not with other white characters and it's 500% fatphobia does not matter if nicola coughlan is technically plus size or not she is next to actresses with a bmi of 18 and she actually has a double chin
sure sometimes her decisions were questionable but tbh the only thing she actually did that was "wrong" was expose marina while she was about to scam her crush into a gaslighting marriage extravaganza obviously marina was right to do that but pen also was a fucking teenage girl with issues
like i really have to see people excuse kate trying to cement the engagement of her baby sister who wanted true love to a white man she KNOWS was looking for a wife as essentially a breeding mare because she likes him too much for her brain not to go to mush - which is all understandable but my woman was 26 ;-;
also penelope was right that queen charlotte would not believe she was lady whistledown over eloise who got along just fine after her exposed excursions to examine the brains of the #poors i really don't know why we give a shit about that am i really supposed to be mad at pen just for preventing eloise from flirting with some white newsie who looks more related to her than her own brothers while we know she is going to get straight married to a member of the landed gentry?
like sorry penelope is also a human being and not some perfect little shrinking violet sorry she also makes mistakes and hurts people just like every other fucking character that's been part of the main couple
polin is the perfect depiction of the a fell first, b fell harder trope. pen knows how to deal with her feelings for colin because while they are definitely strong and persisting, she’s had years of practice in holding back. but colin… he slowly realizes how beautiful and intelligent and wonderful pen is and just how in love he is and is absolutely Unhinged with the revelation. he must have her Now. seeing Colin absolutely haunted with how strong his feelings are vs pen being clueless to it all… season 3 can’t come out sooner.
Shoutout to Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, the Bridgerton PR team, Shondaland, Julia Quinn, content creators on Instagram and also my own brain for bringing back real cinema (doing „are our two leads more than friends“ promo)
i'm not saying im considering going bankrupt and quitting my job to go to the new york premiere for bridgerton but the thought and feeling is there.......................
me on a mantra: it's wrong to ship real people, it's wrong to ship real people, it's wrong to ship real people, it's wrong to ship real people...
also me with a side-eye glance: *looks at nicola and luke*
me, whimpering, and sweating at the brow: it's wrong to ship real people, it's wrong to ship real people, it's wrong to ship real people, it's wrong to ship real people...
