Colin being in denial with his feelings for Penelope II Season 1 Edition

[@bxzarie_]

ughh ppl who say their relationship was rushed in s3 NEED to be directed to this video

THISSS people don't seem to understand that they're unlike the other couples we've seen so far in that we've BEEN seeing them the entire time. We weren't introduced to them this season, they've been with us. And Colin certainly only realized his feelings in s3, that wasn't when they started!! Makes me scream when I see people say that lol

Also, they haven't watched season 1 and 2

[@jessh6210]

Completely agree!! Like come on people theyve been in love since season 1 ep 1 they were young and not ready for eachother, even pen isnt ready for colin in s1 and s2, shes loved him since the first moment they met, that doesnt mean theyre ready for it, right person wrong time, they both have a lot of growing to do before theyre ready. I love them together 💗

“penelope! what a barb” *prolonged eye contact*

[@Cab1726]

In *Greek* literature, Penelope is the clever wife of Odysseus who remains faithful to him for twenty years while he is traveling all over doing god knows what. Odysseus is presumed dead (and therefore not available to be her husband), and she is expected to be entertaining potential suitors, but she does not actively pursue this for a long time. The most she does is eventually start manipulating all of the suitors to prove themselves worthy of marriage while making up stories about how she *will* choose a husband as soon as _______ happens. So she is manipulating the marriage mart for her own amusement, so to speak. She keeps herself entertained by this until Odysseus returns home in disguise, pretending to be someone he is not. She suspects he is lying and is in fact Odysseus but makes him prove himself worthy to be her husband, and in doing so, he accidentally reveals himself to have been Odysseus all along. Then, even though he is now admitting who he is, she believes it is too good to be true that Odysseus came back to her, so he has to prove it to her again through one more test. I just think that story is very interesting. 😂 Also, the etymology for the name is believed to be a combination of Greek words that means “cunning weaver whose motivation is hard to decipher”.

[@tninotmaru]

Oh isn't that the perfect name for sweet Penelope then? 🤭

[@katybechnikova2821]

So proud to have Classic majors in the fandom. I've read the story like 50 times and I didn't make the connection (except the name ofc).

[@Cab1726]

@@katybechnikova2821 I just think it’s so funny how much they make “Greece” a part of Colin’s personality (which it totally would be, speaking as someone who studied abroad at his age 😂), and then Penelope is a Greek name with all of these connections built into it. And I imagine if Colin was my brother and he was always leaving every summer to travel the world and be kind of annoying about it, I imagine I or someone close to him would probably mock him at least once by saying “Oh look, it’s Odysseus, returning to us from his epic voyage!” Or something like that. 😂

He looks over to the featherington house, the same way that Penelope does with Bridgerton house 🥰

[@TNK689]

I think people think their relationship was rushed in S3 because Colin wasn’t fully aware of his feelings in seasons 1 & 2.

[@jessabean13]

And they didn't show enough of their relationship or history as kids together.

[@funkycrawler619]

That's the point of Friends to Lovers tho lol his feelings were always there because the friendship was always there. There was no need to prolong it when he realized he had romantic feelings for her. This isn't like the previous seasons cause he already knew her and vice versa.

[@thegardenofeden847]

As unflattering as Pen's yellow dresses are, they were certainly eye-catching for one Colin Bridgerton. When he saught her out he could always spot her in a crowd.

[@_itsgeorgina_]

every time i see the clip when pen goes “good luck on your tOUr” with this little face 🥺 it makes me cry 😭 she loves him so much 😭

[@psychohochsieben2316]

I earnestly believe that Colin only left because he realized that he had feelings for Pen. Well... subconsciously. He was in awkward feeling/denial phase and therefore left when those feelings overcame him. In fact, whenever he came close to Pen, he felt the sudden urge to run. (Yet when he's away, he wants to be close, I wonder why that is.) He doesn't know what he's feeling, but he IS feeling it. It just feels too natural to him to be anything as scary and beyond as love is said to be, and yet it's somehow more. Move forward to season 2: Colin comes back, has forsworn women except Pen because Pen does not count. He texted her, he felt like he could truly find himself and he became that and focused only on their relationship and himself overcoming his feelings for Marina Crane. Their friendship came first. But surely, it could not be love, because she's his best friend. Moving on to Season 3: Colin returns once more, everything has changed. His relationship to Pen is severely severed and he can't figure out why. His emotional stability is completely off balance, so he searches for companionship ins strangers and wonders why he never feels complete. Then, Pen focuses on other men, and he completely spirals. He's her friend, so he should help her. He still does not understand why he's so focused on her, so ... yearning. So, when he kisses her, it finally hits him. Because this is the intimate closeness he's had with women, the same kind of intimacy that left him lonely and confused. But with her, it's different. For once, he doesn't think, because he found his way home. It's earth shattering, but it had always been there. Colin Bridgerton is just oblivious as hell.

[@R.T_W]

I believe Colin always had a crush on Penelope. Maybe deep down he just didn't feel that he was good enough for her. Also he is so clueless that he genuinely though Pen only sees him as a friend . So unconsciously, Colin friendzoned himself until S3 when they had their 1st kiss. It was at that moment that his feeling resurfaced and he realized he's in love with her.

[@trustfratedinfires6325]

Me personally, I think he's always had a crush on her but never realized it until season 3 when he was getting jealous and along with Penelope's special request as a friend she made. It clear he's always liked her and held her in a higher regards as just a fellow friends you occasionally talk too.

[@ebonyPM]

@@trustfratedinfires6325 I see it the same way, S3E1 is a nice proof, when he is holding her hand in both of his after they reconcile. It is romantic gesture but he doesn´t realize it because it was so natural and normal for him to treat her this way.

[@codycutler]

you did not have to show the scene where Penelope starts crying into Eloise’s arms. i miss them so much

[@syahirahalqadrie2252]

“We’re just friend.” THE FRIENDSHIP 💁🏻‍♀️ It’s cute tho how they both struggling with their feelings, going on & off, being in denial, friendzone each other. The best mask to put on is friendship. Especially Colin. Colin had that audacity to brag around about his travelling to 17 cities, his experienced in love charms, volunteer to help Pen in searching of a good husband, yet still clueless that his true love is just across the street of his house 😂

I love watching S1 edits Colin and Pen were so babyyyy 💛💛💛

[@troll_of_ficbook]

Colin has always cared for Pen. He's always loved her. Her happiness has always been in the top five priorities of his. Hes's also been incredibily young in the mindset to marry her (or anyone, since Marina, whom he predictably fell in lust with, successfully disguising it in love in his own eyes, because he was too immature to see the difference). It did feel a little rushed in the s3 (not as much as a lot of people say; Ig it's due to a lot of arcs being part of thos season instead of just one or two), yet still logically and emotionally handled in a right way, as the only thing Colin needed to think about what he actually feels fpr Pen was a trigger event (the kiss) and to confess his love - a risk that is greater than being rejected by his best friend after confessing (Debling). There was no "need for the love to bloom". There was only the need, for Colin, to get a reason to reflect on his feelings a little better. Now it's time for Pen to grow up (Colin already has), and, I'm guessing, this is what we're gonna get in the second half of the season.

People keep saying it was rushed, and we didn’t see enough of their friendship and I just don’t believe they were actually paying attention. Their storylines are always heavily intertwined. And tbqh, their friendship is very inappropriate for this time. They have an overly intimate friendship. And considering the constant uproar about side plots every single season…the writing can definitely have flaws but I am firmly convinced that people don’t really pay attention outside of the main couple.

Another note I have is I think Colin knew Pen was going to confess to liking him, he felt that shift in her tone, I felt it the first time I watched that scene and that's why he quickly told her that he was leaving because he didn't want to hurt her feelings by rejecting her and ruining the friendship. He comes back in S2 and his feelings just get stronger

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I don’t know if words can convey the depth of how they hurt me with Colin. From the moment I heard that they were going to turn Colin into a rake I knew that they ruined him. And ruined the entire story 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 (Colin had been taught, all his young life, that it was his duty as a gentleman to protect, care for, and defend the fairer sex.) Colin declaring that he is a true gentleman in season 1. [Means] As a gentlemen he considered himself worthy of veneration due to earn respect not handed it on a silver platter, his unearned entitlement had never warped his sense of moral conscience. He does not see women as decorative object or a prize to be won. 🥇 This is why Penelope loves him. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ I honestly won’t ever forgive the writers for ruining the character. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 When they took Colins, sweet innocence and naivety. They took something special from him. Because the way that Penelope loves, Colin is so innocent 😇 and pure. Having Violet do a scene saying how sensitive and different. Colin is. Doesn’t salvage the damage that they’ve done. You know what they could’ve done and said they could’ve showed us that he was this person. Instead of breaking the number one ☝️ visual media rule show and tell, don’t just tell. 🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏Colins desire to travel 🧳 is not to Rake across the continent 🌏having sex escapades, to fetishize it into his journal 📔 he travels for beauty for adventure architecture, culture and history because he’s a nerd 🧐 just like Penelope. The fact is, Colin was a different character. He was set up to be a different character. (TVShow Colin) why couldn’t he be the sweet💛Hufflepuff🦡. Foodie 🍰who seek purpose and greater meaning with his life with intimacy? 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞 Imagine if he’d come back as hot, sturdy Colin but still had his puppy 🐶 energy. Had all the ladies swooning over him but he doesn’t pay any attention because he’s focused on Pen’s lessons. Then he notices all the attention he’s getting because there’s one person who he’s not getting attention from anymore because the lessons work. When I think 🤔 on it, a few more things bother me about the plot. 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 1. Pen doesn’t write Colin back during his travels. Why didn’t that bother him? Because if he had feelings all along (I think he did and S2 had us believing he did) then he should have been increasingly unhinged by not hearing back from her. And worried about her. 2. This is a man who pledged to take care of her in season 2. Where is he? Instead he just goes off to be a slut in 17 cities? And doesn’t give two shits about a friend not writing him back? Just goes and fucks some more sex workers and Countesses? Let me write about it in my journals too! 3. His apology was glib and unworthy of Penelope and their friendship. They made it about Penelope thinking she is unworthy not Colin being a drunk ass and insulting her to eligible bachelors/her chances on the marriage mart. 4.He didn’t bring presents🎁 back for her. So was he even thinking 💭 about her ? At all ? You would think when you’re shopping for presents for everybody someone who special to you would be on your mind to get them something. 5.Colin comes back does the same whoring about the entire time he is teaching Penelope lessons (for weeks apparently) and then kisses her because he feels sorry for her. Ugh that is so gross to me. 6.Then because he is supposedly so despondent over Pen having a suitor, he goes back to fuck some sex workers again. 7.He only gets up enough courage to tell Penelope how he feels once he knows she is getting proposed to. Like he couldn’t call on her, not even once, or bribe her maid again, to see her and explain how he feels. Instead it’s poor me me me me…. I keep asking myself why I should want ShondaColin with Penelope. She deserves sooo much better than him. Ugh… 😣 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 It would’ve been just as spicy 🥵 repressed newly discovering virgins. There is such a thing as horny virgins. The excited exploration. The cute hilarious awkwardness. The wonder of a whole New World unlocked Wasted potential. (The fanfic did it better.) First awakenings are extremely sexy. And there’s so much more special. 🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️ if the two teens in blue Lagoon could figure it out on the deserted island. 🏝️ there’s no reason why Colin and Penelope can’t figure it out especially since Colin has the knowledge of the logistics of how it works. The friends to lover audience. Are deeply romantic we don’t want frivolous fucking. This was supposed to be our season. We were robbed of something beautiful 😍 I specifically only wanted him to be a whore for Penelope. Only Rabbid for Penelope. I wanted her to be his first kiss and first time, especially since we were getting a secondhand proposal. now she gets no first and everything is secondhanded and a hand me down. Because Penelope and Colin are sentimental writers ✍🏻 who document every monumental event in their life’s. We as the romantic fan base were expecting The friends to lover❤️Trope. To be more intimate. A story where Colin and Penelope have their first awakening together. I was hoping that the show would give me an improved version of Odysseus the wayward wanderer. as Colin. 🗺️I didn’t like Greek myth Odysseus. I didn’t think he deserved faithfully waiting Penelope. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 The disgusting mentality of a Rake an insecure man who uses women and their bodies as less so they can feel like more. Throwing money at systematically oppressed women for cheap thrills, isn’t sexy it’s not romantic. Only for his soulmate to change him. They didn’t have to make him a Rake to tell the same story of insecurity. 🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪 I had no problem with him being a Showboat, who is charming with a false public image. Him being a virgin erotic writer. Would show that Colin has dichotomy and layers to him like Penelope who is whistledown and people think she’s more mature or older than she is. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 Why keep telling the same story about a rake. Who’s raking away his problems until. The soulmate changes him. The story had so much potential and they could’ve done it better without the Rake plot. The friends to lover. Trope. Is for the deeply romantic. 🥰 it’s the innocence of love. ❤️ they alienated Colin for his fan base. When they made him into a wannabe Casanova. They could easily made him a fake Casanova who’s just lying 🤥 to fit in. That would’ve been something different. It would’ve made him more endearing and intriguing instead of another. Man Whore

The previous show runner (Chris) said that Colin was the sensitive one because he was raised amongst his sisters 👯‍♀️ playing dolls 🎀and the age gap between him and his two older brothers. Makes him less likely to be a womanizer like his older brothers. so in season 1 and 2 they were setting Colin up to be a romantic demisexual. Hence why he wouldn’t kiss Marina🐚. Copy and pasted definition directly form Google 🫵 1. A demisexual only has attraction for someone with whom they have a strong emotional connection, meaning that hooking up with someone you know very little about or doing so just for the physicality of it would appear pointless. 2. Sometimes a demisexual will begin to feel sexual attraction for someone after years of friendship. Other times you will develop those feelings after a short but emotionally intense experience. 3. Demisexuals simply don't feel attracted to people they don't know. "Demisexuals have to be in love to have sex." People who are demisexual require an emotional connection to feel attraction, but this isn't limited to love and is particular to the person. This connection might be a close friendship, for example.👈. 👆. 👆 (Jess) denied us our representation and I’m rightfully pissed about it.

Simon and Anthony are best friends for a reason they’re both touched in head, assholes. It’s understandable, why they are the way they are. We know from the books that Anthony is planning on dying young like his father so he’s trying to avoid attachments. The man is a bit tweaked in the head from taking on so much responsibility at the age of 18 and having to deal with his postpartum depressed grieving mother and all of his 7 siblings. At the end of Anthony season. He learned that the man that he was was no man at all. He was a reprehensible thoughtless Cad. Who needed to humble himself to deserve his soulmate. And you’re telling me the lesson Colin learned in this is be a W*** in 17 cities. 🌆 Colin is a trust fund brat, who gets to travel the world on his rich 🤑 inheritance. Making him a Mr. World international Rake. Makes him extremely selfish. Even more than Simon and Anthony. I saw on Instagram a interview that the actor (Luke) didn’t like the whole brothel scene. He said the characterization came out of nowhere for him. Kinda took him by surprise. 😮 It’s one thing to surprise your audience with a character change, but to completely deform the character to point your wondering, who the hell is this creep? Long story short Colins reasoning for becoming this man is empty and hollow and it makes Colin looks empty and hollow. Colin have spoken so strongly against the practice before. a true gentleman would never expose his lady to such a health hazard. What does it mean of Colin, that you would risk Penelope like that?" I despise Colin‘s characterization. (Chris) S 1-2 show-runner in 2022 said {Polin} was going to have some *Emma* influence’s with a bit of *Clueless* vibe he was setting up Colin to be the (Cher) of the Bridgerton universe, the ‘Clueless’ “Virgin who can’t drive” (Jess) S3 show-runner turned him into a disgusting 🤮 rake because her grandmother likes smut.🤨
