Story Idea: Polin #44 - Soulmate AU

Once a year the Ton hosts an event. It was called All Soul Mates Day. It was a day where all the blessed fountains in all the chapels would turn a greenish blue color and one just has to drop a smooth stone into the water and when picked back up - it will have the name of the person who is deemed to be your soulmate. So when Colin convinced himself that it would be Marina’s name - he and Marina go to the fountains to prove his family wrong; however, things go awry when it was Penelope’s name that is carved onto his stone.

Story Idea: Polin #1 Modern AU

Hear me out - remember that Friends episode where Rachel leaves a voicemail to Ross to say that she's over him and his reply was "You're over me? When were you under me?"

Imagine drunk Pen leaving a message on Colins phone.

Like she runs across town from her and Eloise' apartment to his place only to get there just as he's listening to it while eating a sandwich.

Ohhhh what if it was a letter instead of a modern au?

Story Idea: Polin #39- Soul Marks

On your 18th birthday you get a soul mark - one that would be identical to your soulmates. Colin is devastated that his does not match Marina’s.

Trying to lighten up his mood days later - his brothers teasingly console him by saying that Penelope could get his mark when she turns 18 and that’s when she overhears him say that he would never marry her because he didn't think she's his soulmate.

And as is Penelope's life a couple years later she gets an identical mark. Now she plans to hide it because she can’t handle his disappointment.

Story Idea: Polin #42 

Then it hit Colin like a runaway carriage - he was madly in love with Penelope Featherington.

Madly, hopelessly, would write poetry and sing songs in her name in love with her. Now if he could only convince her that they are meant to be together because every time he tried to flirt with her - she seemed unaffected. Aka Colin Bridgerton is too oblivious to Penelope’s feelings.

Story Idea: Polin #30 - Penelope Featherington - Seductress (but only for that one oblivious Colin Bridgerton - thank you very much)

Hurt and a little outraged at not even qualifying as a woman to Colin, Penelope  sets out to prove to him that she very much is a woman - an alluring one at that. 

To Colin it seems that Penelope is everywhere and doing innocent yet so very VERY not innocent things.

It’s making his brain think of ungentlemanly thoughts - like the time an eclair custard filling fell between her ample bosom and she used a finger to wipe it off, only to lick her finger. She then closed her eyes and moaned in delight making Colin’s suddenly feel very warm and parched. When she blinks innocently and asked if he’s ok - he could only nod, look away, and think of Lady Danbury.

Polin Drabble - Yearn 

Yearn

There were many things in life that Penelope knew that she was destined for and many more so that she was NOT destined for.  The best example, of course, among the very, very long list of things she is not destined for in this life is to love and be loved in return by the ever charming Colin Bridgerton. 

Oh but how she yearned for those lovely green eyes to glance her way, for that handsome face to ever so slightly tilt when he looks down and she knew that she had his full attention when they conversed, for those strong hands when he guides her during their dances. It brings about such exhilarating and warm feelings - some she could not identify other than her body’s reaction to his nearness. Her heart would race and her breath would feel caught - and she could feel goosebumps on her arms and she just wanted to be even closer to his person. A sirens song if there was ever such a thing and one that she cannot help but follow.

She yearns for situations imagined fueled by romantic tales from books she can only live vicariously by but where he is the main male protagonist and she his lady love. Here they fall in love and live happily ever after a million different times and in a million different ways. A life imagined with her love, her dear Colin.

A life that is gone in a blink of an eye and she is once again alone. Breathing. Existing. The sun rises and sets in a world where Colin Bridgerton will one day love another - maybe as fiercely as she loves him.

After so many years of her unrequited love being her constant companion, Penelope has accepted that these yearnings will never come into fruition. She would be a spinster - one who has not once gotten a male caller upon her door much less be kissed tenderly nor passionately. These sad musings make her heart ache but she can never stray from him for long for when he comes home from his trips does the world seem brighter and life in general seem to move with such brilliant song. Her heart just sings Colin…Colin Bridgerton…beloved. 

So Penelope as always sits here by her window with a book on her lap looking out into the world in hopes for his return while her thoughts create elaborate worlds to help ease her yearning.

Story Idea: Polin #53 Hitman Colin Bridgerton 

The Bridgerton's are a family of assassins/hitmen. There was a hit on anonymous political whistleblower Lady Whistledown. Colin Bridgerton didn't expect to fall in love with his mark.

[dollypopup]

all i'll say about season 3 (for now) is that they gave me everything i ever wanted and i love being right

anyway prepare to be so fucking sick of me???? because the 'colin needs to grovel' people got NOTHING and the 'debling loves pen for who she is!' people got NOTHING and the colin girlies who have been screaming about how pen and colin love each other and are on one another's team and how he didn't do anything that terrible that the fandom demonized him for two entire years over? us colin girlies got EVERYTHING as we should have considering Penelope is the OG Colin girlie.

i am alive. i am living. and i am about to be even more insufferable than i already was

[doomed2repeat]

If you’re honestly saying Debling likes Penelope for who she is when he likes her because he thinks Lady Whistledown herself would be happy on the fringes of society… do YOU know Penelope? Penelope loves society, the right man for her will encourage her to take her place at the center of it, not encourage her to remain in the shadows.

[dollypopup]

"Debling likes Penelope for who she is!"

Debling has no fucking IDEA who Penelope is. What? He listens to her talking about a book (mind you. . .in a LIBRARY, what else was she meant to talk about?) for 25 seconds and suddenly he toooootally understands her, her hopes and dreams and likes her soooo very genuinely and earnestly and deeply.

That's why he intends to leave her immediately to freeze his dick off in Antarctica.

No, they do NOT know Penelope. The grand majority of this fandom does not care to actually look at Penelope as a whole character. Let's be so very forreal here and admit as a fandom that the ONLY reason we pay Debling any mind whatsoever is because he's a plot device to make Colin jealous (thus fulfilling their need for him to 'suffer'): not as a character who would actually make Penelope happy.

Anyway, Colin Bridgerton, this fandom doesn't deserve you

[doomed2repeat]

The fact that people think it’s cute that he compared her to a beheaded taxidermy animal tells me everything I know about how low the bar has been set for Debling while Colin gets criticized for breathing wrong.

[dollypopup]

Colin delivers the most beautiful apology in the entirety of the series full of praise for Penelope and an offer to assist her in achieving her goals and people are hissing about how it isn't 'good enough' and he needs to 'fight for her forgiveness' but Debling farts in Penelope's direction and don't you know that he's being such a sweetheart for providing her with more air?

this fandom hates Colin so damn much because they insist he's Josh from Algebra 2 who didn't wanna take them to Junior Prom and it's hella obvious

[dollypopup]

hmmmmmm

so, let me get this straight

the polin fandom spent 2 entire years hating on marina for being ooooh so awful and sooooo terrible to colin for lying to him and would 'make him miserable' and despised her for getting in between our otp

but also in the same breath said how much they need to see him suffer and for penelope to 'make him pay' and that he needs to be screaming crying throwing up for her forgiveness and she doesn't NEED to tell him about LW, that's HER business

and now in the exact same breath are hyping up mr. monopoly man debling and saying we need to be positive about him and omg he likes penelope for who she is (he doesn't) and he's going to make colin soooo jealous and . . .loving him. . .for getting in between our otp

hmmmmmmmmmmm

[late-night-gotham-thoughts]

Colin Bridgerton THEY COULD NEVER EVER MAKE ME HATE YOU.

[dollypopup]

anyway i can't wait to watch colin fall in love and be happy and by god i don't care what anyone else says that is my sweet gentle crumpet and i will always be on his side

Fiona Green Moments from I Became the Wife of the Male Lead

Manhwa Recommendation!!!

I possessed the body of “Fiona,” the final villainess whose soul was sentenced to eternal suffering after her gruesome demise at the hands of the world’s hero.She was tortured by her own family just because she was an illegitimate child.And so… arriving six years before the start of the novel, I was sent to war at the age of thirteen! Fortunately, as the story’s greatest villainess, Fiona was a genius mage.I had to survive the monster invasion. But now, I couldn’t be in the middle of a battlefield.Just before I ran out of breath, I encountered the teenaged male lead.…Why is he here?Well, if the male lead dies here, then the world will be destroyed. So, let’s save him first!
