confessions of a drama queen @tahitithal - Tumblr Blog

Colin could think of a hundred reasons why kissing Penelope Featherington was a very bad idea, the number one being that he actually wanted to kiss her.

He opened his mouth, hoping that a sound would emerge and that it might actually be intelligible speech, but there was nothing, just the sound of breath on his lips.

And then Penelope did the one thing that could break his resolve in an instant. She looked up at him, deeply into his eyes, and uttered one, simple word. "Please."

It made him want her with an intensity that nearly buckled his knees. He looked at her, and somehow he didn't see the woman he'd seen so many times before. She was different. She glowed. She was a siren, a goddess, and he wondered how on earth no one had ever noticed this before.

This is exactly how I picture them after colin and pen married 😂

I do appreciate that after the kiss Penelope is basically just going about life as normal and Colin is completely unable to be a functioning human being anymore

Yo. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS??? I don't read these books so I definately didn't have Colin fingerbanging Penelope in a moving carriage on my goddamn list. Was this hornier than the kanthony gazebo sequence??? (controversial opinion as a kanthony fan??) Like how do you do that???? How do you, imo, outdo Anthony who would sniff Kate like a goddamn dog in heat, every time she was near. WHAT.

Penelope reading Colin to filth in front of god, the queen and the ton is kinda funny though

He really went on a whole trip across Europe to reinvent himself as a charming and mysterious ladiesman only for her to go: What a poser. He’s still a nerd. Hashtag not my Colin

Colin was nervous.

Colin’s whole ‘You’re not going to die tomorrow.’ and ‘You’d already be dead’ is so funny and one of my favorite parts from the book.

But in the show it’s so great because Luke plays it EXACTLY like a guy with four sisters who he has seen in full meltdown mode before it’s so spot on I giggle every time.

love-byers

thinking about this scene again. i obviously loved pen and colin together before this but this scene completely sold me. the easiness of their banter, the way they're walking on opposite sides of the table peeking at each other, the downright FLIRTING coming from both of them.....dreamy sigh. this is REAL friends to lovers. reminiscing on your first meeting flirtatiously??? i'm sold. take me for all i'm worth

You can tell by the reaction people have to Penelope asking Colin to kiss her whether they ever experienced being a wallflower/insecure fat girl at a party or not.

Because you say it's pathetic, I say it's relatable, no matter how desperate it may sound. If you've never had your insecurity eat you up from the inside (but also the outside, as Portia literally told Penelope that she was delusional for thinking she was gonna find a husband in her third season out) to the point you genuinely, wholeheartedly believe no one will ever love you unless you physically change, then obviously the scene is off to you.

But Pen literally told Colin she felt stupid for thinking she's gonna find a husband (she just started believing what the ton and her mother said) and that she knows no one would want to kiss her. And for a romance girl like her, do you think the thought of never having a kiss, never experiencing that passion, would be easy to bear? I can so relate to being the most romantic of the bunch but also being the loneliest and aching for physical and emotional romantic love.

She is so vulnerable and so real in that moment but y'all gotta bitch about it because it doesn't make sense to you. It doesn't make sense to me either because she's gorgeous, but that's the thing - no one ever told her she's gorgeous and actually meant it. And even if they did, there must be 10 more people who didn't that keep that insecurity in her, specifically her sisters and her mother.

Nicola said this one was for the wallflowers, and it truly is, so if you find scenes like this cringe, you just don't relate to the character enough to feel it and recall moments when you had the same thoughts as her.
