Top 5 (for now until I’m able to rewatch the show a million times) Queen Charlotte and King George moments. SPOILERS ABOUND SO BEWARE:

5. The end. So devastating and beautiful. In that moment he was just George and she knew it. And hiding from the heavens. I can’t.

4. The birth scene. I can’t explain it I love when it’s not “appropriate” but the man goes in anyway to support his woman. I also really loved this because it’s one of the only moments in the series where we see George giving to Charlotte what she gives him in terms of building up of courage. I loved George in this moment.

3. All the spicy spice. You know. I don’t have to explain myself. “I’m very good with buttons” is where I’ll leave you with this.

2. The first meeting. I absolutely adore how they met and it will go down as one of the most charming things I’ve ever seen.

1. The I love you confession. This scene was a literal chefs kiss. You 100% understand each characters motivation with this scene and I can’t get enough of it. So brilliant.

I’m sure there’s more but I don’t know all the episodes well enough yet to give you a proper run down. But be prepared because QC is going to tide us over until Polin season!

I think a lot of people kind of miss the whole point of Polin.

There's conversation now about whether or not Penelope will accept Colin's proposal at the end of episode 4, and the cliffhanger being his infamous 'For God's sake, Penelope, will you marry me or not?' line from the books. And at first, there was all this buzz about how she'll say no and that's the cliffhanger because what if she picks someone else instead? What if he has to spend Part 2 convincing her?

In fairness to the fandom, that was dashed rather quickly. Firstly, we all know she won't say no to continue some semblance of a love triangle, because Debling is the personification of if flour was a spice, and he's not in part 2. Furthermore, it doesn't make much sense to have part 2 be Colin convincing her, when something much more pressing is hanging above them. Because the fandom caught on quickly as to the real conflict:

Does Penelope say yes to Colin, and continue hiding the fact that she's Lady Whistledown? Does she say no out of concern and part 2 is the unveiling? Or does she say no, and confesses?

And I think in our heart of hearts we already know: Penelope will say yes.

And in doing so, she will lie to him. Hide from him. And Lady Whistledown becomes the guillotine over their heads in part 2.

1: Penelope is on a narrative of self growth in Season 3. All leads are, but Penelope's narrative of growth is specifically to come out of the shadows. To be honest and open and brave in the light with nothing but herself and her own voice. And being those things? Yeah, not her strong suit as a character. It's the biggest pitfall she has, and it will not resolve halfway through. Penelope changes her outward appearance, and it still doesn't bring her full peace. Nicola herself has said that. She changes outwardly, but not inwardly, and that's where the real work has to be done. Lady Whistledown is proof that work has not been committed to. She is the manifestation of Penelope's fears of being herself aloud. A literal anonymous persona that can say what she feels she cannot aloud. Lady Whistledown is Penelope hiding, a wallflower in a masquerade mask. She's not going to be brave enough by Episode 4 to tell Colin. That's a whole season long arc. Furthermore

2: We would *all* say yes. All of us. We would all lie and hide in her circumstances. Here is the man she loves, who she has loved for years, coming to her and saying he wants her and cares for her and wants to marry her. She's not putting that in jeopardy. She says no to Debling (thank god, the man's an NPC in every definition of the word, Penelope deserves better) and so her options have narrowed, and really, she only *ever* wanted Colin. He has always been the ultimate desire of her heart. So she says yes to Colin. She wants to and she will. She wants *him*, and now she can have him. And in doing so, she fully solidifies herself as Marina's parallel. WHICH IS THE POINT.

2. a. sidequest: Marina is a vital part of Polin's story, but the fandom has missed that point. Instead of seeing what she as a character was meant to represent in their grand narrative, the fandom has instead demonized her. But in the same way Debling is a plot device to Polin's love story, so was Marina. Now, Marina at least got her own narrative, unlike Debling, who ONLY exists to be a plot point, but this is an analysis of Marina as a player in a narrative that isn't her own. I think Marina is a wonderful character, and I have a lot of sympathy for her, but the fandom saw her and villainized her. Which is SO not the point of her role in Polin's love story. The writers are all but slapping us in the face about that. EVERY character has sympathy for Marina. The narrative wants us to understand she was in difficult circumstances and did what she thought was best as a vulnerable young woman to survive. Which is the same, I imagine, it will do for Penelope in Season 3.

No, Marina's purpose in that particular narrative was to prove who Colin is as a suitor and a potential romantic match. That Colin is warm and open hearted, he is caring and empathetic, he is romantic, and most importantly, Colin is *forgiving*. When he says he would have married Marina regardless of her life altering and reputation ruining secret, that is to set him up for marrying Penelope regardless of her life altering and reputation ruining secret!!! That is the *whole* point!!!

And just like Marina, Penelope hides her truth from him, in fear of losing all that she has. I hope that kind of parallel FINALLY inspires some sympathy in our fandom for both these women, who, in Ruby Barker's wonderful words, are just players in a crappy game.

3: Even in being a sympathetic choice, it is still a cruelty she commits unto Colin. Because up until that point, they really don't owe each other much of anything. Yes, they have a friendship, and that comes with expectations, but in accepting a proposal, she owes him honesty. And she cannot give that to him. Colin lays all his cards down on the table for her to see, and she keeps her own hidden. Just like Shonda said, this becomes a relationship built on the foundation of a lie. It's the cracking open of that lie that finally allows them to be a fully realized couple. Colin loves a version of Penelope that isn't fully real, just like Penelope loved a version of Colin that wasn't fully real. An idealization of their selves. His temper, how he can sometimes say the wrong thing, his jealousy, his bitterness: she does not KNOW these things. But Whistledown unearths them. Just like he doesn't see *her* jealousy and bitterness, her temper, and how SHE can say and do the wrong thing. And, once more, *Whistledown unearths them*. They're not a happy perfect couple by the end of Part 1, because she lies to him. She accepts his proposal, and in doing so, she starts the clock. Tick Tock, how long does it take to tell him?

4: She doesn't tell him. I am fully of the mind that he has to find out on his own that she's LW. Perhaps Eloise sets a time limit for her, that she HAS to tell her brother (she's afraid, of course. what if he's mad? what if he doesn't want to marry her anymore?) (and what of him? what of Colin? does he not deserve to know?), or she'll tell him herself, but Penelope will likely try and then shrink back. She *wants* to tell him. I think that'll be the crux of Part 2. She wants to be honest with him, but she's afraid. So, like most of us when it comes to difficult circumstances, she'll hold off on it. And hold off on it.

Until he finds out on his own.

5: He'll find out on his own. And he will be *brutally betrayed by the news*. Not necessarily that she's LW, though that's a gut punch in and of itself, but more so that she kept it from him. That they've been intimate together, and bare with each other, and that she kept it from him. Keeping it from him as a friend is considerably different than keeping it from him as a lover and a fiance. They will be sharing a life together. A name, a home, and any punishments that befall her. The *Queen of England* is in her pursuit, she is, essentially, tying him to her in all events with the binding of marriage, and he sinks or swims with her. That's a pretty hefty thing to keep from a partner. And on top of it, he'll be hurt by the *lies*. That she could not confide in him. That he told her the truth, but she couldn't tell him the truth, and that will be painful. When it came to marrying Marina, it wasn't the pregnancy, the circumstance itself that he felt was a betrayal, but the lie. Same with Penelope: it isn't that she's Lady Whistledown, it's that she kept it from him. She also slagged him off plenty in it if rumours are anything to go by, and that (SPOILER) at the end of Episode 1, she trash talked him in the article right after they made amends, and is relatively horrified that she wrote it in anger and it was published after everything smoothed over. Even still, she has hurt him with that publication, too. It's a firestorm of things for him to be upset by.

6: And he still marries her. Here is a woman who has arguably hurt him the worst, done a greater harm and insult to him than anyone else, and he chooses to still marry her. Because he's angry, but he loves her. She betrays him and insults him and lies to him, but he loves her. She knew him, got close to him, let him speak to her of things that he would blush to speak to with anyone else (that line from S2 was WILD Colin, I see you, trusting boy), and she slags him off in her public article, and she pretends like she has nothing to hide, and she says yes to him even though she knows he doesn't like LW and that she'll have to tell him eventually, and what does Colin do? He forgives her. He forgives her and he asks her to stay and he loves her. He's jealous of her success, and he's upset that she lied to him, and he absolutely blows up. But after all that facade is stripped away, after all the lies and secrets are flayed aside and they are just Col and Pen, who are imperfect people with a hell of a devotion to each other, they know they're living a really beautiful love story. No pretenses, no pretend, just him, and just her, in the light, holding hands.

Because the whole point of Polin is being seen. Being seen and being accepted. Sometimes, you don't like what you see of a person. Penelope didn't like all she saw of Colin, and Colin won't like all he sees of Penelope, but they come to appreciate those parts of each other because in loving one another, they recognize that these imperfect, unsavory aspects of them make them who they are. And so they come out of it stronger.

So yes, Penelope says yes. Yes, Penelope lies to him. And yes, we'll have debates about it when Part 1 comes out, of 'she would never do that to him!!!' or 'well, she did it for xyz and oueyigohp;wfnd'

but in the end, I think it makes the most sense that she has to make this fuck up (and it is a fuck up, absolutely it is) so that they can grow from it. In the same way he had to fuck up so they can grow from it.

And that's the whole point.

being a polin stan has got to be one of the most intresting experiences ever (in a positive way). I look to the ranks of whos fighting alongside us and its like okay! Don't know how the country of brazil, Mel B from the spice girls, and drag queens trixie and katya got here but I am not complaining!!!

#polin #bridgerton #like the lineup for polin fans is very much looking like the gay straight alliance of any public campus and i love that for us <3

The way people are hyping up the trailer saying we will get hints of the spicey scenes…..have yall forgotten the season has two parts? Most of the spice is probably inpart 2. If the other promo is any indication the trailer will probably lean into the love triangle which is why I’m not that excited. Hopefully we get some good Polin moments to balance out the unnecessary bs

I promise I don't mean to insult you or any ill intent, but I read your post about Colin being Penelope's prize and just wanted to say that the moment I saw the S3 plot, I thought it would be a Regency retelling of your fic dress (which I adore and read daily) 🙈 🙈 I know that when Nicola speaks about Polin it might seem that way, but Luke's interviews have me hopeful for good Colin development, and if it's even half like a Regency version of your story I'll be THRILLED. I hope the season leaves us happy :)

Follow up - I know the plot of dress isn't Pen needing lessons to find suitors but anyway okay maybe you're right and my hope for S3 was wistful thinking 🥺 🙈

Now listen - the moment the plot summary was revealed for S3, I kept saying to myself... wait, this is regency Dress! So yes, I do want that to happen really badly.

My problem is, after two seasons of this show, I know what they prioritize and how they tend to structure their writing, and it doesn't align with what I prefer and would like to see. And that's fine, the show has a different tone and purpose and narration that they want to tell. I'm pretty sure it'll be a decent season of television, casuals will eat it up, and I'll have a good time turning off my brain and watch Nicola and Newts kill it.

But I won't love Colin and Penelope in the show as much as their characters in the books (they're already so different and while they have potential to be absolutely excellent, I don't think they will reach that potential for me... especially since it'll require retconning a lot of Colin - or at least providing sneaky flashbacks of him actually being a matchmaker - and a more character-driven arc for Penelope that the show would never do because they are plot-driven). I do think I'll enjoy the show! I just have a gut feeling that Colin's development won't reach nearly the depth of the books (because if they actually kept the jealousy of Pen's legacy plot I would SCREAM in excitement but I doubt it) because again, the show prioritizes scandal and plot - and all of that means focusing on Colin groveling and Penelope being LW.

Having said all of this - I try to keep my expectations very low because both S1 and S2 disappointed me in regards to Penelope/Colin and them as individuals, so it's hard for me to have hope (except when Nic and Newts talk... they're what's keeping me here). But I would LOVE to be wrong and absolutely love everything about S3 and its direction and the depth and care of the arcs presented. But I've accepted that my Modern AU fic is probably gonna be WAY more in character than the show's out-of-character fanfic that emphasizes groveling, spice, and scandal over the growth and imperfections of the book.

But if S3 really is just regency "Dress" I expect royalties.

#polin #bridgerton #sorry ill keep my negativity out of the tag now but yeah #asks #tbh i wouldnt be surprised if pen's name was on the tree instead of colins

I find myself super anxious about season 3 of Bridgerton actually because I am very unsure of how they’re going to handle the Whistledown reveal. In the TV show, Whistledown, and thus Penelope, is crueler and more consequential than in the books. Admittedly, that is interesting because it presents more conversations about press, autonomy, and agency for the characters, and it also sets up some nuanced character dynamics that could be interesting to explore. It’s interesting to consider how Colin feels about Penelope exposing Marina! It’s interesting to consider why Eloise would feel betrayed by her best friend’s secrets, especially considering how Whistledown has affected her family! It’s interesting to consider why Penelope became Lady Whistledown and the power it afforded her while also examining some of the callous and thoughtless choices she’s made! These are interesting topics and I could write a whole elective essay on them.

However, Bridgerton, for all its wonders, is not really a show built for nuance and there is not enough time in the show to address all of these things while also executing a romance plot and that stresses me out because it means things are going to get simplified and brushed over and I’m scared all of the interesting things to examine are just going to get boiled down to a bunch of scenes where the narrative has Penelope groveling for forgiveness for Whistledown. I am not a Penelope apologist and she should face consequences/make apologies and amends for her choices BUT this is also her love story!! And her love story shouldn’t have to be overshadowed by plot drama the writers threw in because they wanted extra spice. In the books, Colin is mad about Whistledown because he’s scared for Penelope and jealous but the show has given him actual reasons to be unforgivably mad. It’s cool that they tried to add stuff but that means they have to deal with that plot baggage this season. It will break my heart if Penelope just gets villainized because the show doesn’t have the space to explore the extra depth it tried to give her character.

And this matters to me so much because I want to see the potential of the Polin story play out with its original themes. I want to see a love story where the girl who wouldn’t get chosen finally gets chosen, I want to see that hurt little girl vindicated. I want to see a plus-sized character be a unquestionable romantic lead for the first time in my life!!!!!!!! I want it to be about how people are more than we think they are, Colin included.

It’s just that from a representation standpoint, we need to see plus-sized characters in romance. We need emotionally complex plus-sized characters and plot lines for those characters, but ALSO we need Hallmark, cinematic romances for plus-sized characters and that gooey, swoony romance is what Bridgerton is built for. The show is about toe-curling, butterfly-raising love stories and Polin deserves to have that, so I am going to cry if that love story gets overshadowed by arguments about whether Penelope is a good person or not. I am going to cry if the narrative tries to make me conflicted about supporting the first romantic lead to ever make me feel represented on screen.

Does anyone else have thoughts here? Seriously I’m begging to hear what other people think. Also sorry it’s 3am so I’m barely coherent

#this matters so much to me and I can’t explain without sounding nuts #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #polin #lady whistledown #bridgerton

You have a veggie garden tell us more!

yeah i got the keys to it last week! It's 140 square meters so its HUGE especially considering its in the city and only 100 bucks per year. I plan to grow a mix of vegetables that me and people close to me use a lot in cooking, as well as a good variety of herbs to dry for spices and flowers for polinators.

To start ill have to clear the garden and prep it for use since its last owner neglected it so i plan to spend a good few afternoons doing that as soon as im better. Lay some tiles as a pathway, till the earth, put down the composter i got for christmas etc. My prior experience with working as a volunteer for a garden that produced food for a foodbank got me pretty used to doing some proper heavy lifting in a garden so im excited! I'll put the list of plants i plan to grow in a list under the cut

veggies/fruits: tomatos, onion, garlic, peas, courgette, corn, strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, chillies, bell peppers and general herbs

flowers: broken hearts, tulips, lavender(!!), roses, butterfly bush

and for SURE a cherry blossom tree. as well as a composter, insect hotel, and if possible a small wildlife pond. and a chill spot to sit in the summer. ive been thinking a lot about its potential layout

Story Rec: Polin - so come give me a hug (if you're into getting rubbed)

Title: so come give me a hug (if you're into getting rubbed)

Author: DollyPop

Summary:

The three times Colin and Penelope were just cuddling. You know, as friends. That's all. Really.

And the one time-

Well, you know.

---

Review

So I know I answered an ask once before about Polin recs with smut in it. I just wanted to add this story to that.

Spice level out of 10 - I would say 100+

But like always I do love some plot in my spice and this delivers with the cuddles. You'll see. Another must read from this author. Get ready to fan yourself. I can't recommend this enough. Hits all the Polin feels for a slowburn spicy story. I do love oblivious Pen and Simp Colin stories.

Since Spacehey is getting blocked by image-sharing sources like Imgur and some abandoned sites are at the end of their life, I managed to save a few. This is like the only space I can upload them and have them work on my spacehey profile.

If you come across this and have a spacehey and see something you like, go on and take it.

I love love love ‘love came back to me’

It’s just perfect - Kate being courted by others as she should be, Anthony being jealous and acting like a fool, but also that the other suitors are a genuine option? I’m throwing my hat in the ring for Sir Henry, she deserves someone who she is at least attracted to (and hey, even Anthony couldn’t find much to dislike about him)

Really can’t wait for Anthony to realise he actually doesn’t have time to wait for Kate, and to speak to her properly.

Also, I noticed your post about S3 - I liked Polin in the books, but I don’t understand how we are being promised a super sexy season with them? Like - Kanthony were right there! The tension of enemies to lovers is just always going to be better than friends to lovers imo, and especially given the chemistry between Pen & Colin isn’t great. I don’t know why Polins are fooling themselves with that.

I’m excited to see their story and then falling in love but weirdly; I’d be happy for it to be chaste 😂

hello! thank you for your ask!

I’m really happy you’re enjoying the fic it means so much when people tell me that 😭💜

I’m glad you like the suitors! I tried to make them (some) likeable enough but with flaws. Henry is also my favourite, he was the first one I brainstormed and I love him so 💜 even though he’s a bit slippery, he can fulfill Kate’s economical, intellectual and sexual needs (she’s attracted but like…not Anthony level). But can he fulfill her emotional needs?

Anthony will get a rude wake up call by the end of the next chapter. He definitely does not have the time he thinks he does. Nor does he realise just how much he’s fucked up.

Now to polin/season 3. Okay I didn’t mind Polin in the books. It wasn’t one of my top favourite books but you know, cute? But they’ve really fucked that up.

I honestly don’t know what they’re doing with this new season like they keep mentioning the sexy stuff but also said it’ll be funny? I want it to be more funny tbh. I also wish there was more spice in season 2 but hey now they’re married so I’m just saying….Kanthony really should have some spicy scenes this new season. For Polin in season 3 I have a few gripes but obviously I haven’t seen it yet. I don’t like true pining for years with no reciprocation or like when the boy finally realises “oh! My friends a GIRL” also it sounds like Colin is going to mentor her? I don’t know it give me a bit of an ick. Also I don’t see how Colin could be her guru to catch a husband? Man has no game? I’d rather madam delecoix “glow up” pen (I also have issues with the use of that phrase I think it’s frankly insulting to the actors) and pen just ignore Collin for a bit. Idk. It’s personally for for me (note: I thought the love triangle in s2 was ick as well and I obvi love Kanthony so maybe I’ll be wrong).

I think NC and LN have chemistry but like as friends. Maybe that will translate well in this couples case. NC I find to be a pretty good actress. LN…well. Thing is I liked him at as Colin in s1 but in s2 I found him painful. I don’t know what happened. And personally…LN doesn’t do it for me romantically ya know? Not saying he isn’t handsome, he is. Just not my cup of tea.

As for the sexiness - to me, most importantly, I want it to be what the actors want and what they are comfortable with. Like I want that for any and all actors. I could never put myself in that situation. Props to them. If they’re happy and proud then good for them. However — I don’t think it makes sense for that to be a big part of their story. Daphne and Simon yes. Kate and Anthony, due to all the angst, made sense it was less sexiness but when it happened it was explosive (cough, they’re married now let them bang) but with P and C I feel like it should be more emotional? So maybe like one or two sex scenes like K & A makes sense to me.

So I guess we will see!

Note: I am aware that I’m slightly jaded with s3 already because Polin does seem (and NC - I already feel bad for LN that he will likely be ignored in promo etc. it doesn’t feel like his season too. Just Penelope’s) to get deferential treatment and seem to be the favourites of production (won’t be watching tudum tomorrow but interested to see what is released). I unfortunately think the closer we get to s3 the more bitter I will become. Because I do think JB and SA were treated badly (SA especially). And that will likely make me less favourable to s3 but I will give it a shot. And I feel bad that I think that, but I also think it shondalands job to care about each of their season leads and promote them properly. Why wouldn’t you want each of your seasons to succeed? I hope it doesn’t put me off the shoe because I still care a lot to see Benedict’s season (guessing now it won’t be s4 - Eloise will likely get that spot) and Eloise and Francesca’s (I’d honestly die to see Hyacinths and Gregory’s too!!). I don’t know. I just have some built up bitterness unfortunately.
