The Mirror Scene Is So Weird Because Why Is His Chest So Far Away From Hers? It's Very Obvious His Body

book!Polin:

Polin argue in the Bridgerton drawing room -> Colin starts thirsting for Pen

Polin argue in Penelope's living room --> Colin wants to kiss Pen

Polin fight in the carriage -> make out session

Polin fight at the engagement party -> have sex

show!Polin: Colin gets angry at Penelope and just abandons her, ignores her, avoids her, won't even touch her nor look at her.

WHY WOULD THE SHOW WRITERS DO THIS TO POLIN?

Ruby Stokes in The Jetty on BBC

Halloween, 1989 & 2024

The most stunning person to ever exist.

Star Wars is so lucky to have Jodie Turner-Smith!! I already know she's going to be my fave character.

I would have been fine with Colin being angry Penelope until literally the last 25 seconds of the show as long as he was standing by her side, touching her, holding her hand, talking with her, arguing with her. In the show, he wasn't JUST giving her the silent treatment, he was treating her like he HATED her and wanted nothing more than to be away from her. Why would they do this to polin?????

I would have been okay if he just silently seethed next to her, even curtly saying "i don't want to talk about it!", but always by her side, even if he was mad and not saying anything. Just frowning next to her, grumpy + sunshine style

You don't understand how opposite this is to the essence of book!Polin - book polin always argue but then immediately make out and go have sex, like they're always in each other's orbit, even when they are upset with each other. They talk things out, argue head on, deal with issues quickly. I always found that to be such an important and beautiful part of Polin!

a deranged vulnerability

perfect casting for Zutara if you ask me
