I’m a writer Colin truther because Colin spent his first summer abroad writing letters to his whole big ass family (plus Penelope) and Penelope was the only one to respond to all of his letters.
And then he goes away for a SECOND summer abroad and writes to his whole big ass family (plus Penelope) and even fewer people respond the second summer away???
And he just…still keeps writing them letters???? Yeah that’s a man that misses Penelope but that’s also a man who just likes writing. Wasting time and ink going “surely my family will write back if I can create really evocative descriptions of sunsets” like the NERD he is.

If I don't see Colin eating way too much in the show as a call back to the books, I will be mad. It was always so funny to have that as a characteristic of him. I can see Colin and Pen have a moment where she goes "you must leave" and he is like "oh no, have I done something wrong once again?" and her being like "no, but we do not have enough pateries in the house to keep you here for another hour." later into S3 XD

I personally want to see jealous Colin because I think it be funny with how dramatic the Bridgertons can be. Particularly, I want jealous Colin in this specific scene.
The scene I'm talking about is when Colin stalks follows Penelope to St Bride's church. As he's following her he notices that they are traveling in the direction towards his bachelor lodgings.
After they rolled along for a few minutes, He poked his head outside to make sure his driver had not lost sight of Penelope's carriage. There she was, right in front of him. Or at least he thought it was her. Most hired hacks looked the same, so ge was going to have to trust and hope that he was following the right one. But as he looked out, he realized they would have a much further east than he would have anticipated. In fact, they were just now passing Soho Street, which meant they were nearly to Tottenham Court Road, which meant-
Dear God, was Penelope taking the carriage to his house?
Bedford square was practically right around the corner.
A delicious thrill shot up his spine, because he couldn't imagine what she was doing in this part of town if not to see him; who else would a woman like Penelope know Bloomsbury? He couldn't imagine that her mother allowed her to associate with people actually worked for a living, and Colin's neighbors, though certainly well enough born, we're not of the aristocracy and rarely even of the gentry. And they all plodded off to work each day, doctoring and lawyering, or-
Colin frowned, Hard. They just rolled past Tottenham Court Road. What the devil was she doing this far east? He supposed her driver might not know his way around town very well and thought to take Bloomsbury Street up to Bedford Square, even though it was a bit out of the way, but-
He heard something very strange and realized it was the sound of his teeth grinding together. They just passed Bloomsbury Street and presently veering onto High Holborn.
Devil take it, they were nearly in the City? What in God's name was Penelope planning to do in the city?
First of all Colin, how would Penelope know where you lived? Is your siblings giving out your address? Because I know you didn't tell her outside of saying you were residing in Bloomsbury. Second of all that's inappropriate for her to do so good sir and you know better. Yes she's a spinsterr now, but she's still a lady and even you commented earlier how she shouldn't be leaving her house without someone with her. This man just wants the, unknown to him, love of his life by his side and does not care about the social implications. It's so funny too when he gets all pouty when he realizes that she wasn't coming to see him. Again Colin how would Penelope know your address?
And then when they're in the church and fighting for Penelope's letter.
"Colin," she whispered."Please . . . don't."
She's seen his secret writings. Why shouldn't he see her's? Did she have a lover? Was all that nonsense aboutnever having been kissed exactly that-nonsense?
Dear God was this fire burning in his belly . . . jealousy?
"Colin," she said again, choking now. She placed her hand on his, trying to prevent him from opening the envelope. Not with a strength for she could never match him on that, just with her presence.
But there was no way . . . no way could have stopped himself. He would have died before surrounding that enveloped her unopened.
Dramatic ass Bridgertons always do things the most dramatic way possible. This man was ready to fight Penelope's lover that he made up in his head. I want to see how dramatic Colin can get now that he has a face to put the lover status for Penelope. He's going to lose his mind.

It would be an interesting 'twist' if Eloise, out of spite and seeing Colin so chummy with Penelope, tells him that Penelope is Lady Whistledown to split them up.
However, what if it backfires. Colin's realised he's got feelings for her and just as her courtship/engagement to another man is made public, he uses his knowledge...follows her and voila the carriage scene.
Tumblr media
Just a thought. Probably too complicated though.

I do not understand why people get the mistaken idea that Colin is ‘dense’. He is young and has done particularly foolish things, I get that. But he was 20 in the first season and 21 in season two. He is young and is making foolish mistakes, as young people tend to do. There is a significant age gap between Benedict and Colin of six years and his brothers often flank him in public, a protective gesture.
I also find that people are fooled by Colin’s charming facade. He is a people pleaser, so they fail to look into the deep waters that lay beneath his surface. He learned to blend in as a child and because of the age gap between him and his brothers, he probably spent more time playing with his sisters, so he ended up being more sincere and gentle than his brothers. He also was impacted by his father’s death at a younger age, and spent less time being molded into manhood by his father. His mother’s trauma would have greatly affected him too. I hope Shonda touches on these things and his position in his family and explains why he feels lost 😞. I understand the trauma of losing a parent and I was around the same age.
Colin is very intelligent and extremely curious. So curious that he has to know. We see that with his traveling 🧭. It is not just a way for him to escape, he is interested in geography, history and culture. He wants to know more about what he has learned in school. He wants to see and touch the world 🗺️ himself. His curiosity will not be satisfied until he does.
But his curiosity also shows itself in other ways. When we see him noticing details others miss. He knows that Eloise is sneaking around town and warns her. He also sees her slipping a piece of paper into her book when he saves Auggie. Plus looking into the Lord Featherington situation. That shows his curiosity, along with his sense of honor and protectiveness to those he loves. Our golden hearted boy.
Last point is that he is a writer. He has spent the off season corresponding with Penelope. She has said that his descriptions have transported her. Not only does she write herself, but she is an avid reader. I am sure that we are going find out he has kept journals, probably for years.
I really think that we were getting glimpses of Colin in last season to tell us that there is more to him than you choose to see. There are deep waters there and Penelope is about to take a deep dive and I am here for it.

The treatment that Luke and Nicola are receiving from some “fans” is horrendous. Y’all hated Anthony in season one but worshipped him in season two - and I get that you want him and Kate to have more screen time (I want that as well), but saying they deserve more screen time than Colin and Penelope is just disappointing. We don’t even know anything about season 3 yet or have an idea about what it’s going to be like because we haven’t received one of those “first look scenes” or even a teaser trailer. When people say they have no “chemistry” - they don’t have many scenes together in the first two seasons, and for what it’s worth Luke and Nicola are both incredible actors and deserve respect. 
I am very excited for season three and am impatiently waiting for some sort of release date announcement or “first look scene” like we had for Queen Charlotte and season 2. Lord and Lady Whistledown are about to run the ton.

Bridgerton Season 3:

Quick little something. Cause I do believe Colin is so taken by pen that it makes him, quite literally, an idiot. :)
“She won’t dance with me anymore, Benedict ” colin pouted as he stood next to his older brother, wounded that his dear pen denied him of a dance.
“Thats because she already danced with you 3 times tonight. Real suitors might want a turn brother.” Benedict rolled his eyes and he took a swig from his flask. Bored of having to show face at yet another ball this season.
“Do you think I did something? Maybe I stepped on her foot. I should probably bring her a lemonade and apologize. You think she’s bored of me? Maybe it was something I said, I should go ask…” Colin rambled on, only half listening before realizing what Benedict said.
“Wait……did you say REAL suitors?” He scoffed glaring at him.
“Yes brother,” Ben sighed, “real suitors. You know, distinguished gentleman with the intention to propose and offer her a proper and respectful life and all that nonsense.” Benedict tried to explain, dramatically waving his arms as he took another sip from his flask.
“In earnest brother,” his voice then sincere noticing the confused look on Colin’s face, “if you truly care for her friendship the way I know you do, then it be best to not ruin her opportunity in finding a man who will give her a good partnership and a fulfilled life. You are no longer children, the ton will talk. It is the greatest kindness you can give her” Benedict advised with a soft but sad smile, “and..”
Before he could continue Colin then pulled out a small leather pouch from his inner coat pocket, “I knew I forgot to do something important.”, he said more to himself with a wicked grin on his face.
“I beg your pardon” Benedict proclaimed eyes wide and jaw dropped. There’s no way that could be…
“Anthony let me choose it this morning. I forgot to give it to her after our first dance. She looked so stunning…I got distracted.” Colin beamed as he pulled out a beautiful diamond from the family collection out of the pouch. Showing it to Benedict, and admiring its beauty.
“You have to be joking”, Benedict groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose in disbelief, “there is no actual way you’re that dense.”
“Wish me luck,” Colin smiled, ignoring him. He grabbed his brother’s flask, “a sip for courage.” was the last thing he said before scurrying back to Penelope on the other side of the hall.
Ben groaned again in disbelief before hearing a set of footsteps stop at his side.
“He forgot didn’t he…” Anthony sighed.
“I’m honestly surprised he didn’t lose it.” Benedict mumbled as he offered his flask to Anthony, who only gave him a disapproving look.
“Attention everyone,” Colin boomed from the other side of the room, “I have an announcement to make!”
Anthony groaned, “Give me that” as he took the flask from his younger brother.
“Will be rather amusing to see how mother and Eloise will react” Benedict chuckled.
“Indeed” Anthony nodded with a slight smile creeping on his face as both elder brothers watched as Colin embraced the newest member of the Bridgeton family.

I noticed you‘re one of the few Polin fans that I follow here who doesn‘t want to see Colin grovel and be miserable and depressed (yes, someone acutally posted that they want Colin to be depressed because Pen hates him. Seriously, wth???). Thank you! I only very rarely engange in this fandom because of all the toxicity. But I happily follow you. ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah Colin being depressed that’s … not my vibe. I know when I first started getting into the ship I was pretty annoyed with Colin. But then I read the book and took a step back. I realized that I had been falling into the trap that we often do with women. We villainize men who only see women as objects of desire, but we esteem women who do it? I don’t know.
The book had the time and the space to allow Penelope to see that she had placed Colin on a pedestal and that he was a real, flawed person. She learned who he really was and fell in love with him, flaws and all. Colin got the joy of slowly relearning a friend and realizing slowly that he never wants to be without her. They both fall for the others’ authentic self flaws and all. (Colins jealousy of Penelope’s writing/Penelope’s pride as Lady Whistledown)
I’m hopeful the show weaves in those elements as well.
Thank you for following me (and I’m sorry my blog is such a chaotic mess of a variety of fandoms and funny posts lol).
