Gossip Girl Reboot 2x08: Quotes

- “Rise and shine, followers. They say the first 15 minutes of the morning can make or break any day. I suppose that depends on if you got up on the wrong side of the bed. Or perhaps you’re not getting out of bed at all these days. And to the early birds who managed to thrust themselves out into the world, I wonder what did you find?” (GG)

- “Always on the lookout for trends that feel timeless. And I’m usually so thorough with my background checks. (Luna) - My dating life isn’t the only thing I keep private.” (Romain??)

- “Were are my memes? (Monet) - Oh, they, uh, they exist. You don’t wanna see them though. Trust me. (Luna) - Okay. Well, now that you’re so visible, I’m back to being invisible, and it’s not fair. (Monet) - Who’s invisible? (Luna) - There she is slut-shamer!” (Student 1)

- “Uh, don’t we feel like forgery’s too far? Or...” (Aki)

- “The, uh, “traitors” section is in historical non-fiction.” (Audrey)

- “Then what was it? An optical illusion? Sorcery? (Audrey) - Sabotage. She saw your mom’s emails to the seamstress.” (Julien)

- “You know, people usually get arrested for doing this outside playgrounds. (Wendy) - And here we get paid. Your point?” (Kate)

- “Having it both ways. That always works out.” (Wendy)

- “Harvard’s all about connections, not just who you know, but who you can introduce them to.” (Kate)

- Oh, playing it both on and off the field now? (Wendy) - She doesn’t have to. It doesn’t have to be true. (Kate) - You’ve gone full Fox News. (Wendy) - Another DM from Audrey’s wicked stepmother. But it’s probably premium gasoline, so...” (Kate)

- “Well, if getting cancelled were fun, everyone would do it. Will you be the Andy to my Miranda Priestly just this once? (Luna) - Oh, honey, I’m already invisible. The best attribute for an assistant. And I would love a day away from this hellscape.” (Monet)

- “But hitting that first screening is... (Aki) - Your favorite tradition? I know. We do it every year, honey. (Audrey) - Yeah, but it’s Max’s first time. (Aki) - That’s a phrase I haven’t heard in years. (Max) - Well, in the spirit of the weekend, maybe leave the revenge plots to John Woo and Truffaut. Or Director Park. (Aki) - This is not about revenge. This is about redemption.” (Audrey)

- “Clearly, that’s still bothering you even though I told you I didn’t know who she was and was sad and lonely and, well, she is hot in a sadistic, Charlize-would-play-her way.” (Jordan)

- “Everyone knew what they were getting themselves into.” (Kate) - But you’ve changed it now. You’re... Well, you’re lying. Manipulating facts to sell stories. And worse, you’re addicted to it. (Jordan) - I can stop anytime I want. (Kate) - Said every addict everywhere. (Jordan) - I know what I’m doing. (Kate) - Prove it. Temporarily disable Gossip Girl, like you did when you got too close to the edge before. Take a couple days to get your head on straight.” (Jordan)

- “Partial credit. Shouldn’t you be thanking me? (Jessica) - For driving an even deeper wedge between me and my best friend?” (Julien)

- “For us both. I didn’t know you were coming to town. You could’ve at least called, Mami. (Luna) - Oh, mi amor. You know that I don’t love that word. Our relationship is not bound by rules of languages. Call me Lolo. And as for why I didn’t call... I’m swamped. Interview after interview. This trip has been all business, mi amor. Third on a call sheet is not a costar. That’s a day player.” (Dolores)

- “I should know better than to ask how you got these. (Zoya) - Just don’t run your finger across the ink for a bit, okay? You ready? Time to channel our Little Monster. (Shan) - Okay. Let me get this straight. You think Lady Gaga, Oscar Award winner and like mega superstar, is gonna want to help us with our little fight with an anonymous Instagram toll?” (Zoya)

- “Okay. So, what? We just wait here until she comes out? How are you gonna introduce us? (Zoya) - I think best when I force myself into fight or flight mode.” (Shan)

- “High school bullshit is so two years ago for me. It’s fine. It happens. It’s just, if you give that stuff too much energy, you end up missing out on things that actually matter. (Ingrid Lim) - Well, Audrey and Max matter to me. (Aki) - Of course, but so should you.” (Ingrid)

- “You had no choice, it’s your mother. And men can’t handle a pivot. Yet another reason I don’t date them.” (Monet)

- “I had no idea you two were related. (Eric) - Because she dropped Cruz so she can make a name for herself apart from me. Can you believe that?” (Dolores)

- “She’s jealous of you, Luna. (Monet) - What do you want me to do? I want you to stop dimming your light to make her feel better. She’s never going to respect you if you don’t stand up to her.” (Monet)

- “Maybe I could give her like... some book thing. A first edition Joyce Carol Didion or something. (Julien) - What? (Obie) - You can’t block someone on Goodreads, right? (Julien) - I cannot believe you just did that. You’re right. I’m not normally so involved in my one-week stands. This is our second week, though.” (Obie)

- “Thanks for meeting me. (Julien) - Since you roped Obie in, Dr. Menzies made me. Question. So, when you said you’d stay away from Jessica, did you think I meant Simpson or Alba or Chastain? (Audrey) - I only went to see her to tell her that I refuse to be associated with her any longer. Do I have your permission to do whatever it takes to do that?” (Julien)

- “No, you’re right. I didn’t. She did. Julien needs to learn that there’s consequences for her actions. (Audrey) - I thought you were choosing redemption over revenge? (Aki) - Why should I have to choose?” (Audrey)

- “These people get away with literal murder. You think they won’t kill a messenger? (Teacher) - They can’t if they don’t know who the messenger is. (Kate) - How much do you think Menzies would give me for your name? We are all underpaid and underappreciated. (Teacher) - She’s got a point. (AP teacher) - She has no points. She’s taking us in circles.” (Jordan)

- “The Foolian” is trending.” (Audrey)

- “Audrey and Max and I have this trip planned. (Aki) - Dud, who are you living for? You might be their partner, but are they yours? All I’m saying is you’re special, and if... if they can’t see that, at least you have to, right? Sorry. (Ingrid) - Sorry, uh, yeah. (Aki) - No. It was... It was wrong of me.I just wanted to do that last year, and I told myself I’d at least tell you, and instead of telling you.... (Ingrid) - No, it’s... it’s okay. (Aki) - I hope your partners do too.” (Ingrid)

- “I do have to admit, the bitch did look flawless on film. (Monet) - Well, she probably slept with the DP. (Luna) - What? (Monet) - My parents have an agreement so long as it benefits her lighting.” (Luna)

- “Harris cracked. You set me up? I was only trying to help you. But you never wanted that, did you? You just wanted to make me look bad. (Julien) - I asked you to stay out of my life, but you never listen. You always show up in the worst ways. I had to do something. Do you have any idea what right or wrong is anymore? You wanted her to step into that room and be around those people, those people who ruined her fucking life? (Audrey) - Those people includes your dad. And though he may not be the most gracious, or kind person right now, he’s... (Julien) - Selfish and cruel. He’s a lying, cheating thief. (Audrey) - Is this about me or you? (Audrey) - This is about us. (Julien) - You cannot fix everyone’s families just because yours is unfixable. Some people are just bad. You can’t see that by now? Or can you not since you’ve become one?” (Audrey)

- “Maybe we can pick her up a new heart. Hers no longer works. (Luna) - Waste of time. She’d only break it. (Grandma) - Why is she like this, Grandma? (Luna) - It’s her nature. Women are supposed to support one another, but your mother only sees them as threat. I tried to warn your papa, but he was in love. He went along with her plan for you, and look. (Grandma) - A plan for me? What do you mean?” (Luna)

- “I knew it would end up like this, with me forced to see a vision of myself I could never get back. (Dolores) - You sent me to live with Yoli, Mamá. You could’nt stand being around me. Understand you chose your ego over your family? I do understand that, Dolores. I always have. I wish I didn’t. But now I know something else too. Something I won’t keep to myself.” (Luna).

- “You lost. I know how it feels. I’ve done it a lot. (Jordan) - I didn’t lose. My victory just got delayed. (Kate) - Just what exactly does this victory mean to you? My best friend gets one more month to be a monster and then she gets her soul back.” (Jordan)

- “I just love the movies, don’t you? Two hours in the dark where you can forget who you are... and pretend to be whomever you choose. But it ends when the lights come on. That is, unless you’re Dolores De La Cruz. Looks like Lady De La Cruz has curated an image built entirely on lies.” (GG)

- “But she’s anonymous. You can’t defeat anonymous.” (Obie)

- “Leaving without saying goodbye? (Romain??) - I don’t remember you saying hello. (Luna) - You’re right. I owe you an apology. (Romain??) - And I owe you one. So we’re even. (Luna) - It didn’t seem like the right time to introduce you. (Romain??) - Doesn’t seem like the right time for anything. At least, not right now.” (Luna)

- “I know what you all want. You want me to tell you that people will eventually do the right thing. That they’ll come around and listen to their better angels, or maybe even right their wrongs. But what if I said there are no better angels? Only devils and deals and the space in between? And you know what they say about dancing with the devil. Prepare to get burned.” (GG)

- “After GG cancelled Monet, there was a subtle shift in my daughter. A thank you here, an air of heretofore unseen humility there, but tonight she walked into my study, hugged me... and told me she loved me. It appears Gossip Girl has achieved what I have failed to accomplish in 16 years. To instill respect. She succeeded. Going forward, I ask that you and the other teachers continue to share your insights with Gossip Girl. In return, you’ll receive cooperation from me, in any way you need.” (Camille de Haan)

no because i just remembered a few extra things that make the teen wolf m*vie even more of a pathetic exercise in clownery:

allison staying Alive and getting back together w/ scott means that they’re doing a dan/serena in s3 of gossip girl (in that they are dating. while their parents are ALSO dating. ew. gross. what the fuckkkkk)

the age gap between malia and parrish is JUST as gross as when they tried to make lydia and parrish a thing in s5 and it’s disgusting and i hate parrish on the basis that he is an empty husk of a character who’s always Just There and Shirtless Whilst On Fire

speaking of, derek dies by setting himself on fire. FIRE. the same thing that killed HIS FUCKING FAMILY????? and he sets himself on fire in front of his own son which he would never do because he went through the same thing when he watched his family die???? 🥴 huh?????

isaac took the box that contained the nogitsune in it w/ him to like france or whatever. so how the fuck do liam and discount!kira have it with them in JAPAN?????

the logistics of derek having a 15 yr old child is so ridiculously dumb like they didn’t even TRY with that it makes no sense and the only person who could be the mother is fucking kate argent (derek’s literal rapist) and i hate that so much

stiles would never leave the jeep behind. the jeep is the only thing he has left of his mother. why would he leave it in beacon hills and then never return to beacon hills. lmao.

in the s3 finale, the pack defeats the nogitsune with a WOLF BITE. because he “can’t be a fox and a wolf” (direct quote!). so how the fuck does the nogitsune come back and turn into a *squints* FOX WOLF HYBRID is this even real-

lydia said that her grandmother had banshee premonitions of her own gf dying, and even though she tried to prevent it, her gf died anyway. so how can lydia be 100% sure that if she breaks up with stiles, he still won’t die????? lmao

how are derek and scott both true alphas if there’s only 1 in like a 1000 years or whatever the fuck i forgot but. it’s still stupid

there’s probably more but yeah this is what happens when you can’t just leave well enough alone. let things end. not every piece of media needs a reboot revival requel sequel spinoff whatever. just let things go instead of sacrificing your fans and creativity for a soulless cash grab 🫥

#okay getting that all off my chest. still havent even seen it and never will <3 #what a clusterfuck garbage fire #teen wolf #teen wolf movie #teen wolf spoilers #teen wolf movie spoilers #sameera.txt

I am not surprised the Gossip Girl Reboot got cancelled because it was boring and I couldn’t finish season 1. I think the creators thought having that property would be enough for the show to be successful and focused all of their energy on those outfits and soundtracks but did nothing for the show to actually work. My opinion on why the reboot failed to impact audiences that no one asked for:

It’s not like the original GG was a writing masterpiece but it came out at the right time. In 2007, while there were a lot of successful shows, a lot of the teen shows like The OC, One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls etc were tame in comparation to the format GG was presenting. Aside from the UK (Skins), it was unusual for American TV to exploit sex and drugs on teens the way Gossip Girl did. They turned the negative reviews into promotional banners. That was A+ marketing. They wanted to be problematic. That was their selling point. So in theory, the idea of a group of wealthy teens from NYC doing all sort of awful stuff was appealing. The show wasn’t trying to be apologetic. Yeah, some issues were too much not just Chuck but so many other things but the point stands with the show not wanting to fix it. This with a really good fashion sense — GG really pushed the boundaries on fashion during late 2000’s. It was meant to be a hit ahead of its time. The problem with the reboot is that is not new or original. Euphoria already exists. Teens doing alcohol and sleeping around has been in media for a while and people crave something new. If they wanted to stand out they need so much more than just a known intellectual property but most importantly create characters with personality and sadly, that wasn’t the case.

The characters for the reboot lack distinctive personalities and it was difficult to buy why they were even friends. Like, the group on the OG worked because there was an established dynamic but every character in the new one felt like a parody. The initial conflict was them being mad Julien had a sister. For the OG, the initial conflict worked because at first Serena presented herself as a mystery – as the IT girl that ran away and no one knew why. That increased her mysterious persona and her popularity. She ran away because she slept with Nate (Blair’s boyfriend) and while she was away Blair managed to establish herself as the IT girl. That made the rivalry between Blair and Serena more believable and so Serena's dynamic with Nate. Blair had reasons to feel insecure over Serena because she had the influence and wealth to out power her. They tried to recreate that with Zoya and Julien but failed miserably.

I think every character in the OG group had a very established dynamic and propose. Serena was the mysterious girl that created the rivalry with Blair and also presented herself as a bridge outside of the Upper East Side because of her relationship with Dan. Blair was the "mean girl" — the one ready to create chaos if she feels like she is being displaced from her status. Julien never gave me that energy. Neither did Audrey. None of them were able to go the lengths Blair would go for a little drama. The closest thing to Blair they had was Monet and they didn’t give her enough to shine but that’s also the thing. Teen media keeps trying to recreate their very own version of Blair Waldorf but fails everytime. Every teen show after GG now has their sophisticated "mean girl" that is able to quote books and movies (aka Veronica Lodge or Cheryl Blossom) and it fails every single time. Blair worked because of what Leighton Meester brought to the table but also because Blair was actually really mean and unapologetic about it. She wasn't meant to be taken as a parody with some mean one liners. Her only characteristic wasn’t just being mean, it had realistic layers. And even when I feel she became a bit of a parody the later seasons because the show not longer needed her to be mean, I think she remained charming mostly because of Meester.

Serena worked on early seasons then she became unnecessary and boring. Her character only worked because of Blake Lively's charisma which I feel a lot of the new ones lacked. Then there was Nate. He was like, just there. He wasn’t that problematic until that season they made him date a minor for zero reason. I would assume GGRBs version of Nate was Obie (?) and that was such a boring character. Now, Dan was a good character until they needed to use him as a plot twist because they didn't know who GG was and needed a finale. Dan was the one that was inside the elite but hated it and brought interesting points about their privilege and had not problem in checking them once in a while because he was like the impartial one. Again, they tried to make Zoya the one that wasn’t in their circle but her character was just boring, the actress did good with the material.

And Chuck, he was introduced as a rapist from the get go and didn’t deserve to get as far as it got or even a "redemption". Blair deserved better and I will never go down with the Chuck and Blair train. Blair coming back to him on season 6 after learning her own value and worth outside of Chuck's shadow and toxicity only to make her regret it was character assassination. Chuck should’ve died on Season 4. Now, here's the thing. It was clear Max was supposed to be their unproblematic version of Chuck and it's a shame because Thomas Doherty was giving THE perfomance. I wish him luck in his career. Also, Savannah Smith as Monet did good when given good dialogue and stuff to deliver.

Jenny was an interesting character. It gave the show the outside drama it needed. Georgina was an amazing villain. Even Rufus and Lily served. GGRB had potential but didn't give anything interesting. OG GG embraced being problematic and the reboot tried too hard to be "woke". There's nothing woke about a group of wealthy kids (and not just any money but generational wealth for some of them) that don't need to worry about paying the bills. Maybe if they didn't take themselves so seriously it would've worked a lot better. They should've allowed Monet to be the mean girl she was clearly destined to be. Luna also deserved her own plot not just a sidekick.

Lastly, their biggest problem: GG being the teachers. The teachers story line made me cringe. It was so weird and unrealistic. The thing about GG is that it could be anyone. It was the anonymity that made it fun. GGRB fumble by giving GG a face and an underwhelming one too. In conclusion, while I loved the diversity of the new cast, none of them had the charisma on screen except for one or two on occasions and charisma is what carried the original series until a season 6.

Do you think it would be possible to rewrite gossip girl to have a (healthy and happy) Dair endgame but keep Dan as gossip girl

I was just thinking earlier what I'd do with the plot if I could do whatever with it but having to have gossip Dan

Healthy? No. Or at least not right away in season 6, maybe 10 years later when Dan running GG is long in the past and they have a dairfair (Joshua Safran if you give this to me in the GG reboot, I promise I will create a holiday for you).

But I do think a dair endgame is still possible with Gossip!Dan, just probably not a very healthy one. To quote The Take, "the final twist actually reframes his character as being ultimately the most manipulative character on the series, soooo Dan is a version of Blair who's better at Blair's game than she is". So a GG finale where s6 "return to girly evil" Blair is impressed by Dan being Gossip Girl and realizes that he's the best scheming partner a girl could ask for? It wouldn't be healthy, but it sure would be hot.

#by making dan gg the writers literal made him a better schemer than chuck its almost funny if it wasn't so infuriating #dair #gossip girl #otp: dan loves me for me #gg meta #dan x blair #gossip!dan #anonymous #strideofprideanswers

Gossip Girl Reboot 2x09: Quotes

- “It’s thrilling at first to find yourself in new territory. Like a drug taking you higher than you ever thought you could go. But remember, all drugs have a comedown. And every leap of faith can end in a crash landing.” (GG)

- “A de Haan never surrenders. (Greyson de Haan) - I didn’t surrender. I was defeated. (Monet) - And de Haans do not claw their way to the top. They get there on their own, or they don’t deserve to.” (Camille de Haan)

- “But what good’s a reward without a little risk? My advice, be bold. Because at the end of the day, how do you want to be remembered?” (GG)

- “Congratulations. You officially have the body to match that bleeding heart.” (Julien)

- “The one person you cannot have sympathy for is GG. She’s created this world where we’ve traded basic human decency for voyeuristic nihilism. It’s a whole new low.” (Julien)

- “The way your mind works is truly terrifying.” (Aki)

- “We need to talk about the eight-letter elephant in the room.” (Audrey)

- “How do you know if you mean it, you know? (Max) - ... been in a relationship for longer than three days before us. I mean, if he meant it, it’s kind of a big deal. And that we didn’t reciprocate is... (Aki) - ... humiliating. Is it possible that you said it because you do love them? Then the only question left is... (Max) - ... why we didn’t say it back? (Audrey) - He did pretend like he didn’t say it, so why don’t we do the same? (Aki) - Yeah, you’re right. I need to tell them the truth. I need to tell them that I actually meant it. (Max) - You’re so right. Knowing Max, we’ll never hear about it again.” (Audrey)

- “It’s only half personal. (Julien) - Between us, there’s some throuple trouble. (Luna) - No. Max. What’s going with Aki? (Luna) - What’s up with Max? (Julien) - Not to be repeated, okay? But he dropped the L-bomb and received radio silence in return. Declare war on the one person who finally put my mom “in her place?” I’m sorry, JC, I’m solidly team GG.” (Luna)

- “I... I don’t want anything to be weird. (Max) - Neither do we. (Audrey) - Which is why I’m saying this while I still have the courage. I love you. Both of you. I said it and I meant it, and I... I’m saying it again. Okay, You go. Yeah. Unbelievable.” (Max)

- “Gossip Girl can’t handle being scooped. I need something so hot she can’t hold on to it.” (Julien)

- “What’s up? (Obie) - Max said, “I love you.” (Aki) - That’s great. (Obie) - But we didn’t say it back. (Aki) - Okay, not so great.” (Obie)

- “Extra dirty. This reminds me of the last time we got day drunk. Best Purim ever. Shouldn’t you be menacing Munich? Or perhaps blitzing London? Why not get blitzed right here? (Heidi) - Can’t you tell my misery doesn’t want you company? (Max) - Yeah. I see your love for playing mind games continues, liebling. (Heidi) - I’m not playing anything. And I don’t love anything, either. (Max) - I’m with you. Lust only, no unnecessary frills. Like that night we toured the city’s best hotel bathrooms. There’s been a lot of new construction since the pandemic. I’ve been dying to be seen inside the Brooklyn Ace. (Heidi) - I don’t cheat on my partners. Gute Nacht, Heidi.” (Max)

- “He’s definitively mad. Why didn’t I just say it? It should have been so easy. It’s on the tip of my tongue sometimes. I’ve almost said it a bunch. Do I not know how to say it? Am I deep down incapable of it? (Audrey) - You tell me you love me all the time. (Aki) - Yeah, and I do. I mean... Look, things have been so good between the three of us until now, right? Why couldn’t you say it? Fuck, that’s him.” (Audrey)

- “She lives on drama. She’s not been fed lately.” (Camille de Haan)

- “Where even the backchannels have backchannels. (Kate) - More like for the one percent to talk shit in person instead of on Bloomberg.” (Camille de Haan)

- “When I tell you things, they’re between us. I thought you knew that. (Luna) - No, wait. Lun, you’re right. I never should have betrayed your trust. (Julien) - Or mine. This is the hundredth time that you have used me to get what you want. And I promise you, it’s the last.” (Zoya)

- “You haven’t said a word to me since the hotel. I promise that kiss meant nothing. And I... I was planning to tell you everything. (Aki) - Look, I can only deal with one crisis of the heart at a time. Trust me, I will handle you later. But right now, we need to prioritize Max. When are you leaving for the summit? (Audrey) - I was gonna take the helicopter up tomorrow, but I guess I could cancel. (Aki) - Tell them you’re gonna drive up with me and Max instead. (Audrey) - You wanna go to the summit? (Aki) - We need a romance resuscitation. Somewhere in that clean, fresh air. When it’s romantic and organic... we can say how we really feel. And nothing about some girl that you don’t even care about. Right?” (Audrey)

- “Well, I just... I thought I would try something new. (Julien) - New? Yeah. You walking around pretending to be somebody that you’re not sounds like any other day to me. (Zoya) - Sisterly bonding? (Julien) - Fine. Just try not to weaponize anything I tell you.” (Zoya)

- “Hey, at least the booze is free, right?” (Mr Lott)

- “You’re not listening to me. I don’t want to hear it. I have too much shit going on right now. Like how I’m low-key spiraling because I don’t know how to say “I love you” to one of my boyfriends but have no problem saying it to the other. Or that, thanks to you, I now know one of them kissed someone else. But if you had it your way, all of that would take a back seat to your persistent melodramas. So if you cannot hear me, at least read my lips. Leave me alone. Please.” (Audrey)

- “This feud is such season five energy. Get over it already. (Monet) - I don’t know why she can’t see that I’m doing this for her too. (Julien) - Because like most people, she lacks the guts to do what’s necessary. But... we’re not like most people. (Monet) - Is that why you wanted me to wear a wig? (Julien) - It’s a shame that I wasn’t more specific, though. That shit is clearly synthetic.” (Monet)

- “Surely, you’re not asking me to compromise my company’s journalistic integrity? (Mr Menzies) - Well, the way I see it, sir, Gossip Girl is its own press source. For anybody to try and silence that, you know, could be an assault to journalistic integrity everywhere. (Obie) - Otto, let me give you a word of advice. When you request permission to ask a question when what you really mean is a favor, it better be worth it.” (Mr Menzies)

- “Max is our boyfriend, Dad. And I know you know that. (Aki) - Sorry. Forgive me. So hard to keep track of what you’re into these days. (Mr. Menzies) - With all due respect, Mr. Menzies, we’re not... we’re not “into” anything. We’re in a relationship. (Audrey) - Just what about this constitutes a relationship? I’d say it’s just a very clever way to sow one’s oats. (Mr. Menzies) - For your information, I don’t need to “sow my oats.” Because I already know that there’s no one that I’d rather have on either side of me. And in the spirit of education, you should know this is a more serious relationship than I’ve ever had before. And I’m just realizing now how much that was scaring me from saying how I feel. It’s stupid because, you know what? Max is worth it. And Aki is worth it. We are worth it. Together. (Audrey) - You’ve clearly convinced yourselves. I guess we’ll just let time be the final judge, won’t we?” (Mr. Menzies)

- “There must be some sort of misunderstanding. (Julien) - Yes, I know her. Though I’m sure once again I’m going to wish I didn’t. (Monet) - But it does! Julien, if you’d just stop thinking about destroying Gossip Girl for one second, you would see that I’m the only one still willing to put up with you. (Zoya) - I’m trying to get rid of her for all of us. (Julien) - All of who? Look around. You are all you have left!” (Zoya)

- “So, you both meant what you said? (Max) - Of course. Look, we don’t need anyone to approve of our relationship. We just need our relationship. (Audrey) - Yeah. We’re in this together. The three of us. (Aki) - And for tonight’s finale, yes, I’m triple-dipping. Has a member of our favorite trio been a little “Unfaithful”? And id JC help orchestrate an “Indecent Proposal” with a certain USC co-ed? All with Wolfe’s “Eyes Wide Shut”? Pardon the film references. I just wanna make it very clear. Aki cheated, and Audrey lied about it. (GG) - Are you serious? (Max) - Why can’t they just stalk the theater kids at LaGuardia? (Audrey) - Max... (Aki) - And you knew about it? (Max) - Max, please... (Audrey) - Once again, everything works out for you when it’s about fucking, but when it’s about fucking feelings, everything goes to shit! (Max) - Max. Come one (Aki) - This is what you wanted, right? (Audrey) - I wanted us to get our lives back. (Julien) - Quit acting like you and Gossip Girl are different. You’re the fucking same. You us information for your own good and no one else’s. At least she admits it. Have you ever considered this whole war of yours is just a smokescreen to hide the fact that you feel so horribly guilty on how you’ve treated us your whole life? I didn’t think so.” (Aki)

- “I’ve been waiting patiently and miserably, but no longer. Okay? This is not a relationship. This is the love story of Aki and Audrey and sometimes Max when you need a little something extra. (Max) - That’s not true. It’s three for all or none for none. Remember? (Audrey) - Was it three for all when you made me hook up with people so you could stay in the closet? And was it three for all when I jumped through hoops to impress your dad? And is it three for all when you two keep secrets from me? You know what? Enjoy your weekend together ‘cause I’m fucking outta here.” (Max)

- “And now an update to yesterday’s editorial. Because here’s the problem with pushing limits. You don’t know your own limit until it’s too late.” (GG)

- “Max still isn’t answering. We were ready to make things right with him and Julien ruined it. (Audrey) - Well, she fucked up, but so did we. (Aki) - What do you mean? (Audrey) - We were the ones who couldn’t tell him how we felt. I just hope it’s not too late.” (Aki)

- “And just a friendly reminder. I know every limit and boundary that you possess. I see you for who you are. Not who you pretend to be.” (GG)

- “Told you. I have a sixth sense. (Heidi) - Please. I’ve had my fill of bullshit today. (Max) - No. Relationship problems? Another martini for my friend. (Heidi) - Let’s... let’s get that drink at my place.” (Max)

- “And here’s another dark truth you don’t want to admit. You can’t change who you are. You never could. You’re simply becoming more and more yourselves every day. The worst versions, might I add. But I won’t let you get away with it. And like it or not, there’s nothing you can do to stop me. I can’t even stop myself.” (GG)

- “What you did wasn’t wrong. Just how you did it. My dad’s career is most likely over. She destroyed him. And for what? Not only that, but.... she teamed up with the worst people to do it. She won’t take us down anymore. We won’t let her. Let’s kill Gossip Girl.” (Zoya)

Are bad tv shows more fun to watch?

Have you ever been ready to sit down and watch one of your favorite shows? But right before you do, you run down your mental checklist. Do I have my snacks, a cozy blanket? Are my headphones connected? Is the door shut? Should I lock it-? Is anyone home??? What’s my alibi if someone walks in?!

Huh, okay. In retrospect.. while you were doing all of that you could’ve already been 15 minutes deep into your 4th run through of the Gossip Girl reboot or Big Mouth by now. But once you’re in it, you’ll be having thee television watching experience of a lifetime! So, uh.. maybe all those extra steps aren’t so bad? That’s what you tell yourself at least. But wouldn’t it be easier to accept that sometimes bad shows are a little more fun? There’s no fear of having the right opinion on the blonde one from Game of Thrones or telling your coworkers what you think will happen next season on Stranger Things. Of course, sometimes a bad show is just that. I learned that the hard way watching Degressi: Next Class on Netflix. But, in every dumpster there’s a gem. One man’s trash is another man’s morally questionable guilty pleasure!

That being said, I spent a little under half my life accepting that sometimes people will think you’re weird no matter what you’re into. So why not accept that cringe culture is dead and enjoy yourself? Just like with anything, the more you talk about it, the more people you’ll find that genuinely enjoy it too. Maybe Twitter thinks this show is the second coming of twilight or whatever. But what does Twitter know? Where to find the sharpest pitchfork for the next angry mob meet up? Also, Twilight had a freaking renaissance okay? Maybe it’s time to admit we’ve finally come full circle to admitting that not every pleasure has to be guilty!

Who’s to say you need Good™️ writing to love a show? Sure it doesn’t hurt, but when the dialogue is two paperclips being held together by a frayed piece of string and the plot is… definitely a plot.. sure-? That’s where you come in! A bad plot gets you talking! Like when Rachel Berry finally achieved her dream of playing Fanny Brice on Broadway after watching her gush about it for 3 seasons just to watch her throw it all away a couple weeks later for a tv show that was cancelled after its pilot. Or even every time I’ve quoted Brittany’s little “Stop the violence,” from the Quinntana fight. I mean the amount of glee forums and irl friends I’ve ranted to and in about glee alone fuels me to keep coming back to it. Sure people could stop you and say, ‘oh.. you watch that? But it’s so.. Bad!” Maybe they will. But, you’re having fun so who cares?

There’s plenty to talk about with good shows, I mean I could rewatch the Haunting of Hill House a dozen times over and find something new to love about the characters, cinematography, script, etc. But I could do the same with Glee or First Kill because I can turn my brain off and just enjoy them for what they are. In reality, taste is always subjective. If the masses have deemed a show you love “bad,” talk about it anyway!

#feel free to do so in the tags or in a reblog #writing #pop culture #thinkin thoughts #glee #big mouth #any other show I’ve mentioned??? idk #therapy writing
