No wonder she needs Whistledown... I would need a way to get my anger out too

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that all the things Lady Featherington told Penelope were bad if she wanted a good match are ALL the things her and Colin share and have joy together in her marriage. Her writing, her wit, her knowledge and the fact she’s well read.

0:37 Penelope is just too cute aaaah look at her admiring the architecture instead of facing the queen lmao

[ohmyvoid]

“it shall confuse your thoughts” will never get old for me

[emmamchugh]

At this point, I don’t blame Penelope for writing the truth about her family especially with a Mother who doesn’t see her gifts

[snigupiggu]

And Then people complain that why she's Lady W... Well there are only two options..and murder can be a bit more violent... So Lady W is a perfect option

[shipsandfanfics]

*I sincerely hope we see Penelope finally stand up to her mother in s3.*

[deaunarich]

I honestly hope they portray the scene where Colin asks for permission to marry Penelope exactly like the book. Portia needs someone to smack her down to size 😤 😅

This reminds me of a girl I knew at school. She was so kind and shy and she helped me with maths homework that I couldn’t get to grips with. When I went to her house, her mother systematically humiliated her, belittled her and was sarcastic with nearly everything she said. The thing is my friend was so used to it that it wasn’t even registering anymore. There are so many people being routinely emotionally abused within the family setting and it affects people’s lives forever.

I didn’t read the books, so I don’t know how Portia is there; but honestly, in the series I kind of like her. Yeah, she has her moments but most of the things she says are not really aimed at Penelope so much as they are just a product of the time and world they live in. What also struck me is that she never forced Penelope to do something about her weight, like forcing her to diet or to wear ugly dresses to conceal her figure. And when it came down to deciding between her own happiness and that of her daughters she went full mother bear and drove out a man that could ruin her family. Like; she may not be the best mom, but she could definitely be WAY worse.

It breaks my heart to see this little love suffering in EVERYONE's hands.

[roy.shrestha]

Poor Penelope. I don’t blame her for becoming Lady Whistledown.

[fathimamardiah]

Amongst all the bridgerton books, I always love Romancing Mr Bridgerton simply because of Penelope. Honestly I always thought of her as the main character since she's the Lady whistledown

[rhyanshelby]

Honestly Lady Featherington is my favorite character in the show. She's awful but cracks me up

[lesmercredis]

That little long suffering sigh at the end, though... Omg I just love Penelope so much

[valeriayuyis]

Our poor Pen 😭 People needs to understand her better 💔She's really beautiful, inside and out 💙😭

[hottea]

Ngl Portia is so iconic to me, i love her so much. The things she says she is like a Kardashian, she would thrive in modern era like, she would be a celebrity and i would stan her so much

[senoritasulod]

and she still expects her to stay and be her companion in her old age

[sagejennings]

I also saw under another post someone say that it was insulting in and of itself that she didn't marry Penelope off to Colin when she caught them alone in a room together. She didn't even think twice about it lol.

[miraf.]

The thing is, how lady Featherington wants her daughters to act is what most of the rich suitors did want at that time. Having a love match was the exception, not the rule (though being well-read is a good thing, so that is confusing even for me). The marriage market was ruthless. That's why Jane Austen became a spinster. Lady Featherington just wants her daughters to live comfortably by finding them a husband who can provide for them. Even if they end up in a loveless marriage they will find "small joys" (I think that's what she said when talking to Marina). Only too bad that her daughters can't sing, play the piano, etc.

And I must say I love Penelope and her mother both immensely, although they are so vastly different.
