Summary:
Penelope + Colin + Mirror and that sweet sweet anticipation we all have
Bridgerton fans: *excited about Polin season because they relate to Penelope being a wallflower and not being conventionally attractive but is still able to find a husband who loves her very much*
Bridgerton promo team: Yeah fuck that *edits her waist to appear smaller*
This is giving "The only flat surface was his lap" and honest to god it is making me so unhinged I am concerned for my mental survival come May and June. Send thought and prayers my way because God knows I will need them.
To add to my red post (in which I mostly explain that Colin’s burgeoning love is evidenced by how the color red goes from being in front of him to framing him and increasing in vibrancy), here’s a few more observations.
When Pen enters the ball where she’s wearing the emerald green dress, she’s enveloped by a bright red cloak, but once she has arrived, she casts it off. Perhaps the meaning here is that she has been enshrouding herself in her love for Colin and allowing it to hold her back from pursuing others, but now she is putting that love aside and not allowing it hold her back anymore.
I have to imagine that all of the love storylines will be mirroring each other’s and Polin’s storyline in certain ways, so pay attention to how they are framed by red as well.
Bonus: A note on emeralds. In 2x01, the queen said that emerald is her favorite gem. Penelope is in emerald. Penelope is Lady Whistledown. The Queen is obsessed with Lady Whistledown. I’m sure by the end of season 3, we’ll see the Queen show her admiration for Pen/Whistledown. Personally, I’m hoping the Queen employs Pen somehow. 🤞🤞
