one thing that REALLY bothers me about people shitting on penelope's character is that people are consistently asking for nuanced and interesting women characters, more depth, more complexity. and here she is! penelope is at once sweet, innocent, shy but also can be selfish, impulsive, judging. she is literally just a girl, growing up and trying to find her place and somehow people hate her for it.
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.
having the strongest urge to start writing/posting richie jerimovich fics but i don’t know if anyone would be interested in that.. i’ve also like fallen off the face of the earth and haven’t posted ANYTHING recently sorry LMAOO

Finally watching the first episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and I forgot how much a missed my lil pookie. He’s so bbg I missed him so much. I may or may not already have a few fanfics in the drafts (not that that means much coming from me considering I probably have over 50+ finished fics that I have just yet to post in my drafts)
