- Max, is now a good time to talk? - What’s there to discuss? Okay? You betrayed me. - Max, come on. I think it’s safe to say we all did some betraying here. - Yeah, exactly. So why don’t we move past our mutual transgressions and just forgive each other?

SO DEAR PEOPLE,

-GG REBOOT SPOILERS AHEAD -

I just saw the finale. And as I initially only watched season 2 for the polyamory relantionship between Aki, Max and Audrey, I will very understandibly post and discuss first about them:

I will adress the scene, oh you know what scene (Thomas is a very underrated actor, that isn’t for debate), and it was heartbreaking to watch through.

" What an absolute...fool", you can feel his pain.

Max realized that Audrey & Aki had no intention of breaking up between them even tho they all agreed that is "all for all or none for none".

And the fact that they (Aki & Audrey) broke the very pact that convinced Max to start a relantionship with them (his first of a kind too), hurt him more than the break-up per se. That must have been very hard on Max, with also him realizing that they don’t love him in the same way he loves them.

I am not saying those two aren’t in love with Max. What I am saying is that :

They didn’t fall hard, at least not like Max did for them.

They don’t seem to know that they have fallen in the first place.

It was dissapointing to see them ultimately break up. I don't intend do deny it. But I do understand the directors's take on this for a various number of reasons:

They are teenagers. They make mistakes, they try hard to learn from them but they also follow their instinct a lot. The instinct to just take it. To just do it. This is the part of their life when they are exploring, finding themselves, starting to risk things. And so on. This whole new unexplored area is scary. And insecurities are always gonna swim their way through.Breaking up, drama, a very large amount of overflowing emotions, failed relantionships (platonic or romantic ones)- these are very common between the ages of 16-20, more so in the GG universe, where we have a little taste of arrogant, entitled, used to get their way or/and selfish teenagers. They are gonna make bad decisions(fully aware). And this js the process of them reaching maturity. All the bad in the means of good ( a saying from my country, it means that we have to pass very bad times to reach the fullfiling ones at the end)

Polyamory was a new thing for all of them. How do u compromise so everyone it’s happy and comfortable? As we could see from this season, it was tricky and a bit difficult. Again, they are teenagers. They don’t know how this works, they are scared and they are trying.

They ALL needed time apart from their other 2 partners. (Something that didn’t happen (A+A) entirely...) To grow and see where they standed outside of their relantionship. You know, having different plotlines for each of them, like the original GG. I think the 3 of them coming together after all of that would have made a much bigger impact than them staying together now.

They were gonna be ENDGAME. As I said before, them coming back together in the end of season 3 after some time apart would have made a big impact, and a much awaited moment. It appears they were actually gonna do that, as I recently found out:

They did add that scene where Audrey stares at a painting simply because it reminds her of Max.

But they didn’t add the dialogue between her and Aaron, nor the context of her staring. I was right when I said that Audrey looking at the painting was foreshadowing their (Aki's and Audrey's) future longing for Max.

I am kind of mad (just a little) that they knew this was a farewell, and they still ended, with such a negative note too, the poly relantionship. (A type of relantionship that is almost always portrayed as unreal and non-functional, which, unfair)

But again, I see where they were coming from with this. Safran said himself that it wasn’t their intentions to portray poly in a bad way, and that they believe it's real and does work for some people. (See the images attached). And it would have been splendid if a third season would have been released in the future, so we could see them play this out, (as characters with unique storylines too), how it's gonna be Aki's and Audrey's turn to fall as hard as Max fell for them.

Just when it started feeling like a true familiar show....altho I am not a fan of their "keeping Luna and Monet out of the group in meaningful moments".

But maybe they would have changed that.

Oh well.

You can not have everything.

Can you?

#this is so well put thank you op #it's so sad that the whole thing could've been different if they were confirmed for a third season #like a lot of us were expecting for them to break up like that's a common trope in GG #right person wrong time #you know they love each other but they need time and growth and healing and even hurting before they finally get together and get it right #im still so sad about this lmao

[maxiewolfe]

the worst thing to me about how the triad ended this season is that we basically got back to their starting point, there's no growth for audrey or aki at all, they say stuff and then don't do them, so it is exactly as max says they just want sex which is the usual trope for polyamorous relationships in media and I'm so tireddddd like I really wanted to see audrey and aki do something to keep the relationship together, we see aud all the episode thinking about their relationship, like yeah I dont want to lose max but I also dont want to lose Aki, JC telling her to take some time was supposed to work towards her saying I want both of them I can make this work I'm in, instead we never see her realize anything more than she's okay with max leaving in terms of not making an actual effort to make him stay... this was awful, not even emotional enough for me, I wanted to see audrey and aki actually showing emotions!!! thomas as always served with his acting, and we have once again max crying exposing his feelings and being fucking honest and audrey and aki just watching him, godddd I'm so disappointed lmao

#like they didnt even try to actually break up all three??? i would have loved for them to try and realize it was impossible #gossip girl #makidrey #max x audrey x aki #ggrb #let me elaborate i would have loved for them to try to break up to actually own up to what they agreed at the start of the relationship #and we could've seen them struggle through the whole episode with that #it would've been super interesting to see a break up between three people and the different ways they react/cope with that #I ofc wanted them to end up together but I would've loved a break up full of tears and emotions and ALL of them struggling #instead we got once again akiaud vs max and the rest of their friends dont even care about max that much when he's not part of the triad #I WOULD HAVE GONE INSANE IF INSTEAD OF THAT RANDOM GUY PICKING UP MAX IT WOULD'VE BEEN LUNA AND MONET #like idk they had sooo many possibilities and they chose the worst lmao #i wanted emotions i wanted to cry the way I did with og gossip girl where conversations between the characters i loved MOVED ME #anyways #MAX WOLFE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

[maxiewolfe]

! spoilers for gossip girl reboot are below !

overall, my biggest hope for the finale was fulfiled - kate was exposed and she is finally in jail. so yeah, i can count that as a win

still, gg reboot worked for me not only because of drama it had (and i am a sucker for drama), but because characters were really interesting and i personally resonated with some of them. so of course i am mad because we were robbed of good ending. luna finally getting her voice and having a storyline only for it to be thrown away like it didn’t happen. monet not being in italy when savannah was there during filming. couldn’t they include her in group scenes? i guess we will never know. oh, and the most boring character like obie being included in main gg plot, Rome plot, gg reveal plot. don’t get me started on this one cause i don’t even understand why they kept him around. zoya finally getting a promising love interest and his scenes with the whole group being cut? such a bad move.

as for triad, i am mad and disappointd. just a week earlier i was clowning myself thinking that they are going to break them three up. and what do we have here? aki and audrey throwing max under the bus again. them completely erasing their whole development only to end up together without any worries about max. and poor max feeling like they both played with him an got tired of him. i feel so sorry for him because he is the one character in this whole reboot who changed the most since the first episode. he is the only one whose development and progress were not forgot about.

thomas doherty is an amazing actor because i also cried with him when he realised that aki and audrey are not in love with him like he is with them. writers are really cruel for letting this scene be in the final cut because once again we have a media example that throuples are just for sex and sex only. once again tv series is proving that polyamory does not exist in a healthy way. once again the golden couple stays together and redeemed character is getting heartbroken. i can’t even describe in words what i am feeling right now because not only the triad had no purpose with this ending, but a character that had so much growth during the series has circled back to point zero. if writers were backing them up and completing most of the storylines because they suspected that the series is not going to be renewed, why letting triad stay this way? why breaking them up and pointing that their whole relationship mattered only to max and leaving aki and audrey together? i am so pissed at creators now. and if before finale i was able to defend them, now i actually can’t.

so, jobie and akidrey are getting their onscreen endgames while other characters get nothing. good to go gg reboot!

my ideal finale of this season would have been if triad broke up - them three breaking up and finding themselves outside of relationship. like we could have finally have their separated storylines and them being independent characters. specifically audrey and aki needed that. so i really hoped that three of them would break up, discover themselves and around season three finale they would realise what they are missing. so starting the last episodes of season three triad would be getting closer again and realising that the three of them are still in love with each other. they would have a confession in season finale and finally getting together in a healthy way (without sneaking behind each other backs and having any doubts) in the beginning of season four. as josh mentioned, he wanted to have four seasons of gg, so as for season four, i imagined characters to have college-related drama. for the triad, i think that they could have had a “will we last long-distance or not” just like seth and summer from the oc in season three. no cheating, no doubting each other, not any of them feeling extra. just regular senior year drama that every high school relationship goes through. i feel really robbed and i would be looking forward reading josh’s interview because i think he is going to share some of their plans for future seasons. also, let’s not forget that initial plan was for triad to be an endgame. so let’s focus on that

#this!!! exactlyyyyy #the only good thing about the finale was seeing Kate get arrested #she had that insane look in her face that made the whole thing so satisfying #but the rest? disappointing #gossip girl spoilers #ggrb spoilers

why the fuck did they do that to my triad? 😭😭😭

#my beloveds :c #makidrey #max x audrey x aki #gossip girl

[maxiewolfe]

okay okay I'm not thinking about the show being canceled, let's talk about the episode, am I the only one that feels weird the fact that they made it a thing not saying I love you back when it sounds like they've been friends since forever? like I was expecting them all to say I love you but then realizing of the difference when you say it to a friend like yeah we've been friends since forever ofc I love you, or when it's because you are in a relationship, I love you changes there to maybe something deeper? they could've gone with the same crisis of aki and aud not meaning the same as max because max means romantic love and they are struggling with the change from friends to fwb to partners and love changing and growing or whatever... I would've loved for them to remember loving each other since before they were dating, like when they were children or something just the perfect end for friends to lovers but instead we got... that

#gossip girl #makidrey #max x audrey x aki #like how are they going to fix this in one episode without making it look exactly like last season's finale #aud and aki feel guilty they apologize they try to make amends try to convince max and max eventually forgives them #this isnt what i wanted for my triad :( i wanted struggle and tears and eventually healing and growth and commitment #what am i gonna do when they end up the season not together or together but not in the right way?
