Surprise!!! It’s me, your Secret Santa!! XD
Loved talking with you and getting to know you! I really hope you like your gift! I wanted to make something with one of Taylor’s songs but I couldn’t get this one out of my mind so here it is!!! @cssecretsanta2k19
No but you don't understand this is his face when Penelope tells him she's the laughingstock of the entire ton and of course she never expected him to court her. This boy just got this heart broken because THAT'S HIS FRIEND. That's his FRIEND, more than anything else, and he does not see her in the way that she sees herself (he's not fully ready to truly see her yet) but he is CERTAIN she is miles above the rest of the entire bloody ton and that she does not see it herself BREAKS HIS HEART.
AND she is clearly in pain now and THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO BECAUSE HE WAS A PART OF IT. He had promised to take care of her, to "always look after her" and HE DIDN'T. He loves her (just how much he loves her he is not ready to realise yet) and he has let HER down. She was the only person who truly saw him as a separate person from his million siblings and he was never "another bridgerton" to her, and like we talk about Compass!Colin and how he ALWAYS sees Penelope, but he DIDN'T SEE HER, not when it mattered and HE BROKE HER HEART. That's the face of a man who knows he has become no better than the Fifes or Cressidas of the Ton and the BOY IS DISTRAUGHT.
Now excuse me while I go throw myself off of a cliff.
“the two of them together are strong and strengthened by each other and more of themself is encouraged by being in partnership”
do you have any idea how happy this (with adojah saying it and golda agreeing) makes me?? how genuinely good it is? polin being the kind of couple where when they become an item they make each other better, they can grow together and find in each other the strength to go through life together?
