Someone pointed out how Colin is the first Bridgerton man to actually take initiative when it came to his love interest.

When Simon realized he was in love, he would have rather died than confront those feelings and his trauma about his father.

When Anthony realized, he still went forward with his plans to marry Edwina (until SHE was the one who broke it off at the literal last minute) as she was TECHNICALLY who he was looking for and it was better than confronting his trauma.

When COLIN realized he was in love, he broke ever social rule in the book to be able to get Pen, which includes but is not limited to interrupting her dance with Debling, and chasing down her carriage.

And YES, Simon did have trouble with his abusive father which led him to doubt if he was loveable, and Anthony had to see what his mother went through when her husband died. Yes, these did stunt them emotionally about loving people.

But REMEMBER that Colin is the son who most don’t take seriously, the odd one out, and likely the biggest people pleaser out of the bunch. Plus the last time Colin believed himself in love, he not only got his heart broken, he also got publicly humiliated, drew his family to shame, and was never able to be taken seriously until he changed his entire persona. Not saying he had it just as bad, BUT I do know people who are FAR more emotionally stunted for FAR less.

Anyway, love Colin, and kudos to him for being the first Bridgerton man to take the first initiative to get what he wants as quickly as he did.

Still love all Bridgerton men btw.

So you’re telling me that I have to wait a whole month for the second half of Bridgerton season 4, when I watched the first half in less than 24 hours

Whenever a Bridgerton boy chases after his angry girl, you know something spicy is going to happen.

I am currently listening to the Bridgerton books on audible and oh my god they are terrible, but I can’t stop listening. Not because they are good by any means but they are genuinely so bad it’s enjoyable. Like trash tv kind of enjoyable, the product is so bad I can’t stand it, but having it on in the background and then gasping when you hear the most outrageous thing is kind of enjoyable.

Plus now I get to tell people as a book reader/listener how much better the show is!
