GGRB S2 forecast

I'm returning to Tumblr for another season of GGRB disaster!!! Yay!! As I did last year, I've prepared some S2+ predictions for ya 🤭

S2 bets:

⬜️ Audrey fells for Max ⬜️ Two of throuple start sneaking around ⬜️ Someone from the throuple becomes a third wheel and they break up with a fight ⬜️ Julien and Obie back together (?? granted that Julien has this new boyfriend and Obie has cut screen time) ⬜️ GG is taken down for at least a while ⬜️ Kate Keller goes evil ⬜️ Zoya pulls out Jenny Humphrey and tries to become a queen of Constance ⬜️ Georgina Sparks is in only 1-2 episodes ⬜️ Georgina helps Kate run GG and makes it hell

After the trailer and the fact that directors did change a lot, I'm not sure in anything, but I will go on with things I took from S1.

Below you can read a short notice with how I see the characters and the show's direction. While I was rewatching the series I was making notes to later form my post into a structured form. So if you guys are interested in why I think the way I do, you can always ask. I'll gladly rant about the slightest pairing moments.

AKI x MAX x AUDREY

My bet is on Audrey and Max ending up together. She was the throuple initiator, she's the one who talks to him more, and they have a lot of subtle moments that puzzle into a realistic slow pairing development.

I honestly don't get any pairing potential from Aki and Max. It's not even Evan Mock's fault, yes, he can't make such a performance like Emily Lind of Thomas Doerthy and he's a newbie actor, but he's still a sweetie pie. It's the writing.

He had all the juicy moments with Max in the first episodes, and even they were too fast and sort of "intentional" for me. Later, Aki and Max were complete bros. Like, sure, they were helping each other, but in a friendly way. In casual conversations, Max seemed mostly talking to Audrey and turning to Aki just in case. Aki seemed not so interested in the throuple, and he never took initiative.

For me, it looks like that. Aki and Audrey are together for so long that they are more of a family and friends than lovers. Now, Audrey is subtly in love with Max but doesn't want to admit it and pretends the throuple is what she really wants. Aki doesn't really need a throuple, but he's a newly discovered bi, so he doesn’t mind; he plays in a throuple mostly for Audrey. I suppose Max has feelings for Audrey as well, but I suspect the writers will start developing and show them later.

JULIEN x OBIE x ZOYA

Their line was written with less care than the throuple one, so I can say less.

I don't see Julien and Obie together. They have feelings and chemistry right now, mostly from Julien, but I do think their main purpose will be to overcome them. Like with Audrey and Aki, their relationship is finished, and though it may be painful, they need to overcome it. I see them as a good example of exes to friends dynamic.

I do think Obie and Zoya will end up as an endgame. I got little chemistry from them in the later episodes, because they basically didn’t talk to each other, but they were truly adorable together. Obie was his better self, and Zoya was charming back then. If they took a break to grow personally and get their own character development, and then get back, they would be a power couple.

I have a funny theory that Zoya and Julien may dump Obie completely. As we remember, Zoya is Dan Humphrey, Julien is Serena Van Der Woodsen, and Obie is probably Nate Archibald from the OG GG. Dan ended up with Serena, and Nate ended on his own, and I can expect something like this from the sisters. To not have constant fights over a boy, they give up on the boy! But that's for the final season, and it suggests Obie to have a downward character development

my usual tuesday kinda day

oh wow, look who's here. me again. venting, thinking i'm going to have some reflective introspection moment only to get back and let myself fall deeper into the hole i dig myself. exactly. i know what i'm doing. and i can't even blame my home or my family. because i'm given space and time and all the warm comfort i needed. it's all me. i could blame my habit or some kind of mental illness but i'm not diagnosed and at this point that's just me trying to pick at something to blame.

i wrote a lot about how i'm so flawed and complain about myself and my life a lot. but there's not enough guilt. maybe i felt guilty when i wrote it, but all of it gone when i slept. the morning always fresh, though a bit clueless with all the options of what kind of distraction i'm going to sink deep into.

i've tried books. i don't read books, but if it's a distraction, i can dedicate weeks switching books. i've tried manga. andi i liked mangas, all the tropes and all the pretty art of works that i mostly read pirated because... i'm not exactly working and i don't know if i could afford subscription prices. i should work and let myself face the reality of how hard it is to make money but here i am. talking big and doing nothing. what else have i tried. oh. i've tried games, too. rhythm games, genshin and later on honkai. they're fun and immersive. i've tried netflix, movies or shows in general. and since i'm a marathon kind of guy, what else is there to do than to binge watch most of the series i found interesting?

i've tried lots but not anything productively. well, i tried doing doodling and sketching random things as a hobby. couldn't commit. what else? huh... i don't remember most of it. look at that. i haven't tried much. i didn't do things to improve myself. and no matter how long of a paragraphs i could write about how i really wanted to improve. i don't know if myself would commit to it. that's how much i don't believe in what i could do. 'coz it's so easy for me to bail. to ditch. to leave. to run away. to postpone. to be still. stagnant.

i'm such a hypocrite. fuck myself, am i right. fuck it all. but i can't afford to fuck it all life like that. because... because i spent time pursuing academics... and... and... it's just... i should be more desperate to run past the finishing line. but instead it's more of a whatever-ish kind of vibes from myself. it's so. weird.

it's easy to imagine how liberating doing such an fuck it all moves in life. i can't do fuck it all for a final year project of college because else how can't i graduate?! i can't do fuck it all for post-graduation plans because how else can i get a job? i can't do fuck it all for even coming out and saying i'm gay because i don't have a job and also i don't want to like be apart of my family and be estranged for it. i can't do fuck it all for shaving my head because i'm too much of a coward to make it like a symbolic kind of acts to make a fresh things to start my life with, and for me to just think of it like leaving my burden away with the hair being shed and cut. i can't do fuck it all because maybe i don't want to fuck life itself. i have hopes. but fuck me for not holding onto that strong enough to push myself forward. to force me to walk and do stuff. fuck it all. i said. fuck it...

what even i'm saying. i had this outline in my head about how i want to start the post of vent. so basically. i watched two seasons of the white lotus and it's such a good show. tense. funny. s1 definitely funnier than s2. it's so unhinged it's good. and ahem theo james. yes. um. what? no. i mean, i love series with ensemble cast. and the way it all lead up into the chaos that is the finale? *chef kiss* methinks.

okay, what else. ok prelude done. uh... then i was going to link it with why i was watching the white lotus in the first place. yes, yes. i was thinking of a show that is similiar to nine perfect strangers. and this one shows up right there. better, tbh. so... yep. and why was i watching nine perfect strangers in the first place? well, i was looking for bobby cannavale's other works since i liked his character in the station agent, joe. i think. i wrote a post about it. thinking it's going to be my. like. last movie before i face the world and my problems that i hid under my bed. and look am i here! you know what, why was i watching that in the first place? well, because i was watching kembang api on netflix, and was downright UNDERWHELMED by it. like. really. zero chemistry whatsoever. I'M NOT HATING ON LOCAL MOVIES!! i was intrigued by this movie and the premise. time loop? yea i'm a time loop trope enthusiast. ensemble cast? (i mean it's like 4, but still they're strangers) ok yea i like that too. and yea whatever. why was i watching this movie in the first place? becasue i was tired reading books.

and why was i reading books in the first place. exactly. distraction. fuck me.

ugh. i could talk about it for hours!!!! i should talk about it, actually. but like. with real people. not a void. but i like the void too.

currently? i'm thinking of what kind of lines i'm going to write? am i leaning into the oh i'm so scared of myself and the future or, would it be more into the well i don't think i cared anymore or stuff like that. but then i ended up thinking about what am i going to write? how do i want to be perceived when someone reads this like duh this is a venting blog no one is supposed to read this.

whatever...

how can i practice self-compassion when i'm so ignorant to my own responsibility? when i basically ditched myself? when i... i let myself be in this kind of situation again and again. there's no solution to a problem that i am not willing to work to solve. am i not willing? i'd like to think i am but i don't know how. no, scratch that. i am too ignorant to be willing. i don't know anymore.

maybe it's my hungry stomach writing. whatever... ugh... i'm reminded on the monthly reflection thing and the monthly spotify playlist too. see how commited i am to it whole? ahh....
