Colin Bridgerton was an Alpha in the highest of society. He had everything at hand: means, popularity, charm and good looks in abundance, and the name to go along with it. What he did not possess was a Mate, nor any brutish tendencies towards claiming one, as some Alphas tended to do. In fact, every Omega he had ever countenanced all seemed quite ordinary and plain to him.

That is, until, something rather interesting emerges. Or, rather, someone interesting emerges.

And soon he discovers that Penelope Featherington is not the woman he exactly thought her to be.

“Have you told Rose yet?” The other Doctor asked, flickering his eyes back to him as he dared to ask the question, fearing what he was going to have to say in reply. “Do we ever tell her?”

Shame filled him in an instant, filling all the gaps and cracks of him as the back of his head hit the console. “No. We can’t,” the Doctor sighed, running a hand over his thighs as the low pain dulled further. “You know we can’t.”

Other-him sneered at his own self’s cowardice. “Doesn’t mean you don’t feel it. I’ve got an excuse, you don’t.”

“And what’s your brilliant excuse then?” He bristled, sitting up a bit straighter. “Come on. Not like we’ve not got the time or blank memory space set up for this, if we’re gonna get into it. Why can’t you tell Rose you’re in love with her already, if it’s just that easy?”

“Because she can’t love this me.” The other Doctor didn’t even hesitate, the blue of his eyes growing stormy and dark. “You can’t love something as broken as me. Whatever you are, you’re… better for her, that’s obvious. You’ve got no goddamn excuse not to do right by her.”

your yearly reminder that Baby It’s Cold Outside is a song about a woman having CONSENSUAL sex, at a time when premarital sex was frowned upon. The female singer is offering up the token demurrals society expects her to, because it’s expected, not bc she doesn’t fully intend to stay and have awesome sex with a dude she’s into. The male singer knows this, and is in turn offering her an excuse to give to the neighbors in the morning (“it was too cold for me to go home, the only responsible thing to do was spend the night at his place. because of the weather, get your minds out of the gutter”). A 1950s audience would have understood all this, but the nuance gets lost in a modern age where women are actually allowed to say yes when they mean it.

Also the “hey what’s in this drink” thing was a common joke at the time, where the punchline was that there was in fact nothing in the drink. the woman’s making a joke that she wouldn’t do this if she was sober, oh goodness no! it’s only a joke bc both she and the man are in on the punchline: she is sober, and is only staying bc she wants to

my tags: The female singer IS saying yes but using an outdated social script that doesn’t translate well to the 21st century. this song was funny and sweet to 1950s audiences bc it was about two people having fun and hooking up, and using the winter weather as an excuse

#it’s a fun song about having fun sex while being snowed in together. which as i say it i realize is ABSOLUTELY a fanfic trope #they were SNOWED IN TOGETHER. and there was only ONE BED #OH MY GOD THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED

#i like this song best when i can see the singers#and some of this energy comes across#when you can see the grins she’s giving him#the shared joke they have

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

colin is the best bridgerton male lead so far compared to the other two because he's the one who actually tried to confront his feelings. like fuck emotionally unavailable men !

I feel like so many people get catered to with the bad boy archetype being everywhere in the media that they can not even imagine that some people think the sexiest thing a man can be for a woman is a down bad pathetic loser. Just weak and desperate. Colin Bridgerton was on his knees, tears in his eyes BEGGING for chance.

Less bad boys, more soft men, thank you.

Cressida: I have no friends and I'm still unmarried in my third year out because society pits women against each other and I have a terrible home life.

Me: Cool motive. Still a villain.
