One quick question, why do you hate Before the Storm? I actually really liked it. It could be because I'm a hopeless romantic, but I just want to see your opinions on it
Oh boy, where to even begin...? I cannot stand bts... it actually hurts my insides to think about how much I hate this game haha.
[note: yeah hi uhhh... this is long because of course it is, it's coming from me but listen, my feelings for this game are not nice and I have a lot to say so.... my bad]
One of the bigger reasons, though not the biggest, is Chloe... I'm not exactly a big fan of Chloe. At all. Not in the first game, nope. I understand that so many people love her and they have their reasons for that, that's fine, she's just a character who doesn't appeal to me. If anything, she pisses me off because I can see the foundation for such a compelling character, but it all gets thrown away for the sake of bullshit.
So then they plop bts in front of us with Chloe as the playable protagonist in a prequel story about her and Rachel Amber. This is an opportunity to expand on her character, to tie into the first season and make me feel more positive feelings about her character, to do what the first game failed to do..... and to be fair, they DO have a few of them sprinkled in... but then they're overshadowed by the garbage.
It's just... the ideas are there, and they're ideas that I like but they're executed so poorly. I want to like Chloe Price, I can see that there's something good here.
Like okay.... lemme do a thing:
Chloe Price. She's going through some serious shit after her dad dies. He died unexpectedly in a car accident, something Chloe had zero control over, it's not fair, and even though it's not like the universe singled her out and said "fuck you," it feels that way to her.
On top of that, her best friend who she adores? She moves away. Not something that's in either of their control, they're kids at this point. However, Max stops contacting her and that hurts Chloe. Chloe tries to stay in contact, but eventually Max stops responding.
Then you have her mother, who's also grieving after losing her husband and dealing with her daughter pushing her away and on the wrong path. She meets a man and falls for him after realizing she still has a long life ahead of her and that's too long to be miserable over her husband's death, William wouldn't want that, and David is a source of comfort for her... something she's not getting from her daughter. The problem is that David and Chloe don't get along in the slightest... which leads to Chloe feeling like her mom is trying to replace her father by moving on, not understanding why Joyce's timeline of grief isn't the same as hers, y'know?
Oh, and can't forget that Chloe has fallen onto a not so great path of drugs, booze, bad grades, lying, staying out late without letting her mom know where she is, pickin' fights, making friends with drug dealers, stealing money and other items, all that. She's bitter, angry, unable to understand most of her own complex emotions and that only makes her even more upset. She's unable to express them in a healthy way, she doesn't ask for help, and denies it whenever offered.
So... Chloe's starts out as an extremely entitled, rude, obnoxious character. She insults the bouncer in the cringiest way possible because these adult men writing her don't know how teen girls talk, she steals money and a t-shirt from a dude who works for the band because $20? how dare? even though bands don't make a lot of money and a lot of profit comes from their merch but who cares about supporting artists you like, right? Chloe sure doesn't. She probably buys some weed from Frank because yeah, she's got a dependence on the stuff now. She gets into a fight with a couple of dudes after spilling beer on them.... but what's this?
Oh look, it's Rachel Amber. Y'know, the pretty, popular, talented, smart, perfect, charismatic girl from Chloe's school?? yeah, she's at the concert and saves Chloe from the dicks who attacked her, and the two girls spend the rest of the concert together.
Now, for some reason, Chloe isn't sure but Rachel has taken a special interest in her. Rachel is flirty, she wants to know who Chloe is, she asks her to skip school with her, and the two take a ride on a train to a park and... honestly? pretty romantic, and it plays into that escapism fantasy thing of having the pretty girl who everyone likes single you out, making you feel special.
Over time, the girls grow close. Rachel has some family problems and seeks comfort in Chloe. They spend nights walking together down empty streets at night, holding hands. They hang out and talk about the stars, they discuss Shakespeare and what it's like to actually be your true self, if there's actually such a thing. They get tattoos together, and Rachel helps Chloe color her hair. They have a special hideout they decorated together in the junkyard. Rachel spends the night at Chloe's enough that she ends up leaving a lot of clothes there. They daydream about running away together, long road trips and living big in LA.
Chloe starts to see Rachel as her angel because for the first time since Max, she feels like she has someone she can be open and honest with. Rachel almost seems too perfect to be true, y'know?
And hey, over time Chloe actually starts to kinda get her life on the right track, if not in an unconventional way. Sure, she's still dealing with losing her father. that's not something she'll just get over... but she does start making an effort with her mom, and yes, even David after he told her about his time in the army and gave her that photo. They both know they'll never be friends, and they'll still have arguments, but they'll at least keep the peace for Joyce's sake.
It's not all perfect, though. Chloe's still smoking and Rachel isn't always the best influence. They get into trouble here and there, but nothing super serious.
She dropped out of Blackwell so that her mom didn't have to keep paying her tuition and because she's fixated on this fantasy of running away with Rachel. Chloe's feeling good about herself, about her future, for the first time since her dad died.
Until Rachel disappears.
And everything goes to shit pretty quick after that. Rachel's gone, she's not answering calls or texts, and everyone keeps saying that she probably ran away, but Chloe knows better. She knows Rachel wouldn't leave without her, so something must've happened. She makes posters and puts them everywhere, but things only get worse.
Money is tight. Joyce isn't making as much as she needs at the diner, David isn't making enough as a security guard, and hey... they might lose the house... the house that was once Williams, that's a piece of him he left behind. Not only that, but where will they go?
Chloe doesn't want them to lose the house, or for her mom to be this stressed out over food and bills. Chloe borrowed money from Frank in hopes of using it to run away with Rachel, but with her missing... Chloe decides to give it to her mom in order to save the house. Joyce is alarmed that she has this much, but Chloe manages to lie her way out of it to give her mom some peace of mind.
Except now she has another problem- she can't pay Frank back and he's getting more aggressive about it as the weeks go on. Rachel's still missing, Frank's breathing down her neck with threats toward her mom, money is still an issue at home, and she's not in a good place. Chloe's desperate enough to steal... so when she makes it into a bar that doesn't card her and she sees rich boy Nathan Prescott drunk off his ass and flashing bills, she thinks it'll be an easy score. It's wrong to do this, it's dangerous, but Chloe justifies it to herself. She needs that money.
She didn't expect Nathan to drug her drink, and she wakes up to him taking pictures of her. She manages to get the hell outta there, but she still has no idea what the hell happened to her. Like.... that reeeally fucks with her, it doesn't even feel real. She can't tell anyone, she can't tell her mom, and the police won't do anything since they're under the Prescott thumb.... and well, she decides to blackmail him.
And we all know how that goes.
So... we have the highs and lows of Chloe Price. She's flawed, even starting out as unbearable, but over time she becomes more nuanced and you're invested in what happens to her. You want to see her better herself, you want her to work through her grief and get help, you understand why she hates David but when you see him and Joyce happy together and him make an effort to be better, you want to see them make amends. You know David doesn't want to replace William, hell HE knows no one ever could.
You want Chloe to keep going, to find purpose in her life and realize her own potential. You saw her at the beginning when she was broken, when she was lost and didn't see a future for herself, and it's satisfying to see her come this far to where she knows she has a future... something that becomes all the more tragic when you remember her fate in the first game.
You're invested in Chloe and Rachel's romance, you get giddy watching them flirt and do dumb, romantic, cliche things, and you're just as compelled by Rachel as everyone else. No, she's not perfect, she's not a stereotype, she's much more layered than that and it only breaks your heart when you realize that she's killed later on, that of course she's going to go missing... you already know that! So you're watching Chloe, who has gotten pieces of her life back together and is genuinely happy.... fall back down the pit, fall back into the habits she had at the beginning, and you know it will lead to her downfall.
.....TOO BAD BEFORE THE STORM DID FUCK ALL WITH THAT RIGHT?
Nope, you don't get any of that. Well, except Chloe being cringy. You get a lot of that.
No, no, we got edgelord, flanderized Chloe who thinks her wit is much greater than it actually is, whose terrible moments outweigh the good, and who doesn't grow or change no matter what influence you try to have over her.
Rachel could be replaced with a literal barbie doll and little would change. She has no charm, she's nothing like what she was described in the first game, and she's just so fucking unlikable. When she finds out that her mom isn't actually her birth mom, she claims that her whole life is a lie and her parents aren't real and she wants to meet her druggie mom who chose drugs over her for 15 years because she's the one who actually squeezed her out.
Which, by the way, WHY is this the goddamn plot?? Why did they feel like they had to shove in this "oh hey Rachel's dad is the bad guy, oh wait now this drug guy is the bad guy because he stabby Rachel, no wait now her dad is the super bad guy because he put a hit out on Rachel's REAL mom, oh no wait it's fine because Frank murdered drug man off screen" WHY YOU DO THIS??
You have three episodes. THREE. And in those three episodes, you have the opportunity to explore Chloe as a character, and her relationships with Rachel, Joyce, and David. But instead of dedicating the story to that, something you could've created a compelling narrative out of, you threw in this dumb mom plot and fire-
HOW THE HELL DID I FORGET THE FIRE????
What- why did- does she have- Rachel just- RACHEL SETS THE FOREST ON FIRE??? WHY THOUGH???
I get it, "Rachel is the fire" yeah yeah and it's dumb.
Oh and because we didn't have enough going on, here's a side mission where you gotta deal with getting money from this other kid who's running drugs for big bad drug man because he wants to help his dad who lost his job.
But WAIT, there's more- In a series where several girls were drugged by Nathan and Jefferson, forced to pose for pictures, and some even killed or driven to try and take their own life? something taken so seriously...? Victoria gets drugged and it's treated like a joke. Even worse, there is a path that has Rachel drugging her, and no one cares.
ALSO.... Rachel cheated on Chloe with two adult men, remember? One of which fucking murders her?? and we're just... we're just not gonna do anything with that??? Nothing??? Maybe a little stinger at the end but that's it????
I just..... I hate this game so much.
It had so much potential. Not only that, but it had the first game to look at and learn from. Learn from the mistakes that game made and improve upon.... but instead, they fucked up even worse. It's just a game of fanservice that has way too much going on, is trying to do too much, and loses focus on the most important things.
Three episodes could've been enough to explore different points of Chloe's character before the events of the first game. They could've crafted a story that gave more insight into her life that make sense of the choices she made, that turn her into the Chloe we see in the first game. You don't need a forest fire, you don't need evil lawyers. I know the first game had the storm and time travel and big dumb Jefferson, but you wanted to tell a story that's grounded without shit like that... y'know, before the storm.
I could probably go on and on if someone doesn't stop me, so I'll stop myself here... I hate bts because it's potential was there, I could see it in a few key moments, and it was wasted.
The romantic ideas fall flat because being pretty and gay isn't enough for me, I need more than that. I don't care if they kiss because I don't care about their relationship, and frankly, they've done very little to make me care about them as individuals.
UGH
.......does that answer your quick question? haha sorry for the not so quick answer, but like I said, this game makes my brain mad and once I get going, it's hard to stop.

I'm here! Finally answering these Anon Asks!
1. It is real (for now) 😅 It'll be very different than before - exclusive to Paramount+, not including all of the original cast*, only 10 episodes, and will be focused on one case rather than a procedural.
* The main S15 cast was invited back. Kirsten is not returning, and I think Daniel Henney will be busy on his new show. Matthew mentioned not really wanting to, but he was willing to reconsider. Paget and Joe have been very vocal supporters of the reboot, but Paget has been calling for fans to support her in negotiations.
We'll see. Not much has been decided yet. You can read more here.
2. You're my favorite and I hope you get all the hugs and kisses you desire, friend 😚
3. Yeah... I really blame the writers. They clearly wanted her to be some weird, stereotypical "spunky" girl. But, naturally, the writing team is riddled with misogyny and a deep misunderstanding of women, lmao. RLC is an amazing actress. I don't know what she could have done to save that mess of a character.
I really think her character was unnecessary on top of all of that. Spencer's final arc was about how he spent his whole life basing his worth and purpose on the women in his life (his Mother, JJ, Maeve, Cat). Date Night would have been a lot more meaningful if, after he got closure with Cat, he realized that he was still his own person, and would continue to exist after she was gone, and that he was going to be okay.
They could've done something great... but, alas...
4. Awe, of course! Like I mentioned before, I am planning on collecting Dad!Spencer fics to post on Father's Day. I hope that they all comfort you and reassure you that, even though your Father failed you, there are still so many people who will love and appreciate you, and we want you to know it!
5. So, there is a sequel to the book (which I have not read!) where he ends up in a remarkably similar situation. Here is the summary:
A month after narrowly surviving the most harrowing night of his life, Chip Taylor is living in a seedy, pay-by-the-week motel in a sleepy coastal town in Florida. He still has most of the 68 grand he and his crazy ex-girlfriend stole back in Tennessee, but he's a man living at loose ends, directionless and without a plan. He's drinking too much and surrendering to too many of the same temptations that landed him in so much trouble in the first place. It isn't long before Chip finds himself wrapped up in another nightmarish descent into bloody madness and chaos. And this time his survival is more in doubt than ever.
That is, obviously, super depressing, lmao. Probably realistic, too, honestly. I personally like to believe that he got a decent job and lived a modest life. He met a very sweet person that treated him well. He got therapy and spent the rest of his life being perfectly mediocre and happy about it. But to be honest, I haven't thought about it a lot!
6. Angst is a category of literature, although the term is usually used exclusively in fanfiction. Here is a simple definition from Urban Dictionary that, I feel, summarizes it well:
An adjective describing a situation or literary piece which contains dark, depressing, angry, and/or brooding emotions from the participating characters.
7. Ugh, I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience. Medications can be so hard. For you for take steps, even in such a state, to try to self-soothe is extremely impressive and you should be proud of yourself!
I'm glad you exist, too, and I'm so happy to hear that my mindless Spotify collections provided you some comfort in such an awful time.
I hope you have a wonderful day, too. Long-term medication regimens are seriously exhausting, and you are doing a great job. Keep it up, friend! You deserve so much happiness in life, and I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself the best you can.
8. [NSFW] Hi friend! I can't say much on this subject, as I'm not a lesbian myself, but I do want to assure you that I've heard other lesbians, gay men, and aroace people express similar sentiments!
The truth is, to me, erotica is completely different aspect of enjoyment than the physical acts of sex. There are many things I enjoy reading or watching that I would never engage in physically. When you view erotica as a form of expression, separate from the expression of physicality, you might find that the true divide isn't the gender of the characters, but the emotions and connections established.
TL;DR, I'm very sorry you're feeling confused, but I know a ton of lesbians who enjoy reading het erotica, and you shouldn't necessarily feel like you are less valid of a lesbian because you like erotica works (written predominantly by women, mind you!).
Also, if your friends mock you for reading fanfiction, they kind of sound like jerks. There isn't much difference between fanfic and published works such as Outlander, which have remarkable success. You could always just say you read that (the smut scenes are, IMO, significantly less cringy in Outlander than other mainstream erotica, such as 50 Shades).
I hope that you get some relief from the frustration you're feeling. If you decide that you're bisexual and just heavily lean to women, I am happy to celebrate that with you, but I'm just as excited to celebrate if you decide that you are still a lesbian! 💕
Best of luck, friend. I'm happy you're here no matter what ☺️

Season 1 Episode 3: Heavy Mortal Hopes [Part One]
Oop flashback to baby Bloom
Whom the fuck is this random woman
Imma say it's either Stella's mother or NotFaragonda's evil sister
I want Aisha's dress DAMN
If Bloom and Stella are half sisters I will lose my fucking mind
Why are Sword Dad's eyes still scary
Can Riven please stop making objectifying comments about women? Like, please. I'm so uncomfortable
NotFaragonda's lil BOOP on FakeMusa's head was acc really soft
Aisha and Bloom clearly hate each other stop trying to claim they're friends
Is NotFaragonda an air fairy?? Because she's now also done mind and water stuff but she ALSO said they could learn other elements and... this is such bad worldbuilding
"Cringy first years" whom the FUCK is Beatrix
Assuming she was taught magic elsewhere
"See what the vibe is" Terra trying to be cool PHYSICALLY pains me
You know what would really help with body positivity? If they didn't write their ONE diverse body type as super insecure about her looks. Just a thought
Oh my god can someone please heal Sword Dad I'm so attatched to him
Sky looks like a kicked puppy I'm so upset
If Aisha could get her own plot that'd be great
Oh of COURSE Terra is the only one hopeless with makeup. Because how could the fat one POSSIBLY be feminine? They tried so hard to be inclusive and MISSED AT EVERY TURN
Stella Vs Riven is a fight I'm here for. Who's character was ruined more? Who's to say
All these Specialists ready to protect Sword Dad at any cost is iconic
LOVE that Sword Dad started the rager parties
I think it's very telling that in a show that was supposed to be about female friendships, the two best written characters are Sky and Sliva (yes I know his actual name but I'm still going to call him Sword Dad). Also the only relationship that actually comes across how it's supposed to is the father/son dynamic between them. This man is SUCH an awful writer (among other, worse things I could say about him)
Please stop making Terra the joke. I'm begging you, the second hand embaressment is killing me
I just think Sky deserves someone who'll listen to him without an ulterior motive or aggressive 'joke'
Sky, I understand you're in an enotional state right now, but after making such a point of telling Stella - the girl you just got back together with - you weren't drinking tonight, maybe going drinking with Bloom in the next scene ISN'T the best idea
While I love the comedy of Riven getting drinks chucked on him, how the fuck does drunk!Bloom have more control over her magic than Aisha??? Shitty writing lads
Oop backstory on "Ricky"
Okay Stella better have not blinded her friend deliberatly (t'would make more sense if she hadn't, but I don't trust the writing) but also... why the fuck would anyone believe she would DELIBERATELY BLIND her best friend for joke-flirting with her boyfriend??????? Even if it was accidental, that would still have had to send her into enough of a rage that she lose control and honestly what the fuck??? Has this man ever met a woman? Because all the girls I know would die for their closest friends. Fuck off
Oop shady dungeon
Oh damn did Bloom find the mysterious woman?
I'm so dumb it's Rosalind isn't it
"Sorry, getting a really strong read of social anxiety" can they actually fuck off with Terra being bad at having friends. They really think they were being inclusive by writing a character that just reinforces all the negative stereotypes? What. The. Fuck.
Love that Sam just noped out of that situation
Stop blowing smoke into her mouth. Please. Stop. If you wanted a femme-fatale, cast her the same age as the other actors. Either they're all underage or they're all 18+. Stop having this child in uncomfortable scenes with adult men.
Riven needs to STOP objectifying women
Oh and men. He is just... so predatory. Stop making bisexuals (especially men) predators. I've said it before and I'll say it again: fuck off
Stella confirming the Ricky situation is being mis-reported but she doesn't want the truth getting out so... she lost control
Genuinely can't tell if they're trying to make Stella sympathetic or not

Catching up on SATC
I might be a decade too late for this and a decade too young for this (at least), but I’ve finally set my mind to it: Sex And The City. It was kind of a surprise for me, how good it turned out to be. The series, that is. The movies are... not that memorable.
Tumblr media
But seeing as I was about 8 when the first season came out, it’s safe to say that I completely missed out on the  madness that lived amongst fans of the show. This wasn’t necessarily the case for ‘Friends’, that first aired when I was 3, but I guess Friends was... more kid friendly, to say the least. 
I’m really quite dissapointed about that, though. I wanted to have been in New York when the women of the show were. And I wanted to have experienced life, relationships and, well, sex when they were. And I almost forgot -  I wanted to drink Cosmo’s like they did. Alas, I was just a kid. Though, I’m really happy not to have to deal with answering machines anymore.
A lot of people have told me to watch the show, but I was never all that convinced. After watching the series, I have realized that I was thrown off by the movies. I had actually seen the movies (I’m not 100% sure if I had seen both, but I had definitely seen the second movie). I’m not the first person to say this but... the movies really don’t do the show justice.
But like a lot of other times, I finally found time in my schedule and I decided to check the show off my bucket list. I immediately liked it but at the same time, I have to admit, I wasn’t hooked on it. In the first season, SATC seemed a little too Rich White Women to me. Which is also the feeling I had with the movies. But perhaps for the movies, it was even more Spoiled Rich White Women. In the second movie, they were barely even in The City, go figure.
A lot had also to do with the character development that wasn’t yet, I guess, developped. But the stereotypes in the four main characters are never truly far gone, as they shouldn’t. They were written that way on purpose. That’s why after more than 20 years, girlfriends still like to discuss how their either Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda. Me? Well, at first I couldn’t relate to Miranda all that much. Then the character development came and I started to see past the cynical over-achiever. But something strange happened with Charlotte for me - the opposite happened for me. I liked Charlotte at first. I thought I WAS Charlotte.  Yeah, I don’t like her, except for when Charlotte finally speaks the truth about something.
Tumblr media
Much to my surprise, I do really like Samantha. Before the show, I thought I could never like her. I thought she was that character that made its appearance so that they could keep the “Sex” in their title. But Samantha is, as it turns out, not always all about sex. Okay, she is. But there are a couple of things that I really admire about her:
She’s always there for her girls. She knows that men will come (pun intended, of course) and go but her friends will always stay.
She’s brutally honest. She says it like it is. And you are NEVER going to get the feeling she’s f-ing with you.
She’s like some kind of magical predictor of the future: in season 2, Samantha explained this to Carrie: “It’s 2000! The new millennium won’t be about sexual labels, it’ll be about sexual expression. It won’t matter if you’re sleeping with men or with women, it’ll be about sleeping with individuals.” And she continued explaining: “Soon everybody will be pansexual, it won’t matter if you’re gay or straight”. Look it up, people.
She’s a fierce business woman. She’s got it all figured out, makes tons of money and is entirely and 100% independent and has always been.
Besides being honest, she also puts her money where her mouth is. When she fell for a woman, she went all in - sexually. When they were through, she was clear about the reason of the break-up: she wasn’t ready for a relationship. She’s always been open to all kinds of sex, but never to relationships (up until that point, I might add).
She has the most wonderful, amazing and funny af one-liners.
Tumblr media
And then there’s Carrie. Carrie never really spoke to me, at all. I never really had actual feelings about her. Though I hated her and Big’s affair. I’m not sure why that happened in the first place. I’m not a Carrie/Big shipper or a Carrie/Aiden shipper, for a matter of fact. But affairs are horrible and Aiden didn’t deserve that. So I’m still a little angry with Carrie for that (and with Big as well). Besides that, I think Carrie overspends on shoes, as fabulous as they are.
That being said, the show is hilarious. It’s not a sitcom, it’s not non-stop, but the conversations these women are having are ones that are witty, smart and unpretentiously sharp.
However, the show also has various boring or cringe-worthy storylines. Such as... THE COMPLETE RUSSIAN GUY STORYLINE!!! OH MY GOD, that man is boring from start to finish. Much like Miranda, I was not supportive of her going to Paris with him. Also, why don’t you do the sensible thing and visit the city first before making snap judgements and moving across the world? Not to mention giving up your well earning writing job? (I assume it’s well earning considering her closet).
As Carrie would say: I couldn’t help but wonder... why the hell she started dating this guy in the first place...?
If that storyline was meant to be an anticlimax for what was going to happen with Big at the end... the writers deserve much, much praise. Then again, the writers are a-holes for putting that long storyline in, in the first place.
I would also like to give Carrie smoking an honorable mention as “cringe-worthy”. I’m sure it used to cool, but nowadays, it’s the reason why Sarah Jessica Parker has marionette lines in the second movie. (That was mean, I know, sorry SJP).
The MOST cringy-worthy is, without a doubt, the whole second movie.
Listen, here’s my take on the movies: (you thought you were almost done with this post, right? )
There were two storylines which felt a little unfinished to me. Of course, Carrie/Big. I understand the craving for that couple actually being a couple. Their ending in the series was very much a fairytale ending, but as we know, life is not and this show usually isn’t either. But the storyline of Charlotte felt a little unfinished either. Yes, she finally gets the good news that she’s going to be a mom, but I wanted to get more. I wanted to meet the girl and I wanted her and Harry to try and raise her.
Both storylines were completed in the first movie. And the audience - including me - was satisfied. But there’s a big catch: the other two ladies. Both Samantha and Miranda were in happy place at the end of the show.
In fact, I feel like they needed to create storylines out of thin air in the last few episodes for the both of them. Not including Samantha’s breast cancer storyline, that was amazing.
In the movie, however, friction had to be created for them so they forced this phony storyline on us where Miranda and Steve broke up because Steve cheated. Why would you do that to Steve, writers? He’s a really good guy and has always been a good guy. Why make him a cheater?
And I’m also a bit too much aware, yet again, that these ladies have too much time and money. While the show is typical HBO (real and honest), the movie is not. But that’s not entirely their fault. Movies are typically written for a different audience, therefore, are more glamourous and unrealistic.
After having seen the first movie, I watched the second one, reluctantly. I regret the descision. While the first movie barely had any storyline, the second one had none at all. It was all glamour, no actual feelings. I honestly thought I was watching a tourist commercial for Abu Dhabi, that is if you could look past the fact that Charlotte never had any reception with her phone (might be different by now, who knows, right?).
I would also like to add that it’s quite sad that Miranda and Charlotte only got to talk about their issues they have as mothers during cocktail hour at a foreign country. They’re supposed to be best friends and they both have small children. You’d think they would’ve discussed their struggles by now. In the world of SATC, they sure as hell discussed all other things.
 I’m sure that Kim & SJP will ever work their issues out - but please, please, don’t make another movie, guys. There is nothing left to tell.
We laughed and we cried, but now we’re done and we’re moving on. At least I am. Cheers!

why would his mum buy him pills without him wanting them/needing them wow she’s so suffocating and annoying 
jesus christ he’s 17??
i love how tony is really just creeping around 
love the beats ad placement 
okay then it’s jessica this time let’s learn about her
this counselor chick is doing what they do in primary schools where they force 2 people to be friends this is so cringy 
I LOVE JESSICA AND HANNAH TOGETHER please tell me they are gonna be bffs
wow zach you asshole choke 
i really do think i like the principal or whoever he is supposed to be he seems so genuine
i hope whatever jessica did to hannah that it wasn’t that horrible because i do like them together
“don’t believe everything you hear” that makes sense though considering hannah was led to believe that justin sent the photo of her around when it was actually his friend 
jessica’s clothes are so cute ah 
that blonde guy?? cute?? yep i don’t know a jessica 
okay so now we know alex who mind you, is not cute and jessica is blind 
who says fml out loud i just threw up in my mouth it’s like that whole hashtag never forget thing how can anyone else stand this and who thought it was a good idea 
when jessica said her dad was getting deployed i thought it meant she had to leave and i got really upset but it turns out they were just tryna hurt my feelings and she’s staying
i’m sorta mad that alex left their little trio but at the same time i don’t really like him and preferred jess and hannah alone anyway but he became friends with justin’s crowd
poor hannah why did they leave her what the heck she deserves better
THEY LEFT HER AND ENDED UP GETTING TOGETHER THAT HAS MADE ME SO SALTY WHAT THE HELL I LIKED JESSICA BUT NOW I FEEL BETRAYED
oh but hannah’s death has changed them 
honestly clay is okay when he’s around hannah but i still don’t like him 
this sorta makes me want to work at a movie theatre it would honestly be so fun?
its kinda sad that i relate to hannah so much
oh she’s upset because jessica is the friend that alex fell in love with and not her, even if she didn’t have feelings for him it would still suck that she was just the other girl that they left behind 
and she was okay with jessica until she realized she wanted to be more like her and jessica was fitting in a lot more. my heart. 
BRYCE WALKER NOW I KNOW UR NAME AND I CAN HATE U MORE FOR WHAT U DID TO HANNAH U SON OF A BITCH I HOPE HE CHOKES 
is justin okay?? i’m kinda concerned for his fuckboy ass 
honestly clay is so annoying can he stop
ALEX’S LIST?? WHAT IS THAT??
ITS MY MAN TOOOONNNNNYYYYYYY MY BABY  I WILL DIE FOR HIM
what the fuck jessica 
what the fuck alex
why are they coming for hannah like that she doesn’t deserve this what the fuck 
hannah is a liar? i’m so confused
ITS TONNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY again 
)))): i love him so much i would die for him 10 times he’s amazing and beautiful why am i so in love with tony someone explain he better not be a bad guy at the end 
tony is kinda cute if u look at him the right way but still
“he’s not there yet” WHAT DID THEY DO 
they casted hannah’s mum so well 
I’M CONFUSED SUDDENLY THEY ARE MAKING TONY LOOK A LITTLE SHADY BUT I LOVE HIM SO MUCH WHAT IS HIS CONNECTION IN THIS FUCK 
who Is tony 
concluding thoughts: clay is still annoying, i miss old jessica, hannah still deserves better, i don’t like alex at all, bryce can choke, WHAT DID THEY DO and WHO IS TONY?
