There’s only one Serena Van der Woodsen. Yeah, no, not tonight

#the writers seeing a blonde girl joining the cast: #it's free real estate #serena van der woodsen #gossip girl #made this while looking for scenes for the edit #i wasn't going to post it. but i ended up using none of these lol #i didn't include them. but mini blair and serena get an honorable mention #and i think it's an interesting motif #serena arriving to the party saying 'everyone here knows me' #and then two girls pretend to be her. and nobody can tell it's not her #they know her but nobody sees her #and the progression on serena taking jenny admiring her as a compliment #vs serena looking at ivy 'you're serena van der woodsen''that doesn't mean what you think it means' #plus now the insecurity that she can be replaced and she doesn't know what to do outside her role as the golden girl #jenny humphrey #juliet sharp #ivy dickens #lola rhodes #i am rambling

"Looking at Ivy's arc through the lens of The Talented Mr. Ripley actually depresses me, because I feel like the show tried for something great and failed miserably. If they had fleshed out Ivy's conflicting motivations more clearly rather than sticking her in boring nonsensical plot after plot, this could have been one of the better stories they told about class on the show. I understand why the book was appealing to them...writing this made me appreciate the depths of the book so much more. But they are in such a rush to run onto the next plot that they fail to let the characters live and breathe on their own. As such, it was impossible to connect with Ivy, because no one understood her."

One random headcanon I have about Snake and Ivy is that their parents chose their names specifically to make sure everyone knows that they’re Smart and Sophisticated People TM. Ivy was named after the Ivy League and with Snake, they almost named him Stanford but decided that was a bit too on the nose, so they went with Sanford instead.

Even their middle names, Jane and Dickens, are after famous classic authors (Jane Austen and Charles Dickens). Because if you’ve ever read a single book in your life, it’s very important to make sure all your friends know about it and what great taste you have.

#yes the d in sanford d ingleberry stands for dickens lol #at least in my headcanon #that poor boy can't catch a single break #ivy definitely lucked out in the naming department #snake #ppg headcanons

Batman: Haunted Knight - Jeph Loeb Review

Writer Jeph Loeb and Artist Tim Sale collaborated on one of the most famous Batman stories of all time, The Long Halloween (which I plan on re-reading later for Halloween). Unfortunately, I had yet to read the prequel or sequel to that story before, so I thought I would rectify at least the former for this Halloween season and read Batman: Haunted Knight.

Batman is a perfect super hero to read for Halloween, his very creation was brought on by trauma and his primary goal in dressing like a bat is to instill fear into his enemies. Haunted Knight takes place over three separate Halloweens (I was confused by if they're supposed to be consecutive Halloweens) and is broken up into three stories.

In Fears, Batman is on the trail of the Scarecrow, who gets away just barely. This was probably my least favorite of the graphic novel, not because it wasn't good, it was, but some of it didn't quite land for me, but I liked the bit where Batman got poisoned in a thorn maze, but I do feel like more could have been done with that, the game Batman: Arkham Asylum does Batman vs. the Scarecrow *perfectly*

In Madness, Batman is going after the Mad Hatter. I have to confess, I haven't read a lot of stories with the Mad Hatter, but this specific one I actually really enjoyed, because it ties into Alice in Wonderland; not only through the Mad Hatter wanting to put on a tea party with children he is kidnapping around Gotham, but through Bruce and his connection to the story via his past, with his mother Martha (WHY'D YOU SAY THAT NAME!?).

Finally, Ghosts, which is just a take on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I was hoping this story would land a little better. Again, I enjoyed it, it just doesn't do anything particularly interesting or new with this story. Thomas Wayne in ghostly form shows up to tell Bruce three ghosts will be visiting him and they do; Ivy, Joker and a phantom figure (seeing as how this was 96, would have *loved* if the Phantasm from the animated series had been the one who did). Again, it was good, but it was partially good just because A Christmas Carol is so good. I don't think it reveals anything or gives us insight into Bruce/Batman the way it could have differentiating him from Scrooge and showing us more his specific character flaws.

Again, I actually enjoyed this while reading it. It just doesn't hit the highs of some of my favorite Batman stories, but if you're a fan of the character, especially for Halloween, it's a quick and easy read.

3/5

during my gg rewatch, i've been tracking the A, B, and C plots of each episode, and tallying the appearances of the characters in each plot (bc i need to overanalyze things)

the characters i'm looking at are Serena, Blair, Dan, Nate, Chuck, Lily, Rufus, Jenny, Vanessa, Dorota, Eric, and Ivy (ie, anyone billed as a series regular at any point, plus Eric and Dorota, who each appear in more episodes than Ivy.)

here is the appearances that each character made. if they're a main character in that particular plot their number is italicized. the filled in squares mean they didn't appear in that episode

this is the totals for the season.

Scene Totals are the total number of A, B, or C plot scenes they appear/play a hand in

the total under scene totals is all of their scenes added up

Proportions are the percent of their scenes that serve each plot. ie Serena's proportion A is her number of A Plot Scenes (172) divided by her total number of scenes (285)

Plot Totals are tallies of the number of A, B, or C plots they led

the totals and proportions under that are the same as the Scene Totals, just for the plots

NOTES

a lot of this is really vibe based - what exactly constitutes the B or C plot in such interlocking stories was hard to discern sometimes

similarly, i had to make some judgement calls about whether it was a new scene if, say we have Blair and Serena talking at Blair's penthouse, then 5 minutes of Rufus and Lily, then we cut back to Blair and Serena but no time has passed for them

A lot of scenes count for more than one plotline in the episode, bc Dan and Rufus (for example) will be having a conversation about what's happening in both their lives

If you have a scene of Dan talking to Jenny about the B plot, then Jenny walks away but Dan starts talking to Serena about the A plot, that's a B plot scene for Jenny; and A plot scene for Serena, and marked in both the A and B columns for Dan (counting twice despite being one scene)

i'm sure i missed some scenes where dorota was standing in the back for drama at the waldorf's but I'm not too concerned bc that means she didn't do much for that plotline anyway

i'll update this with every season, let me know if you wanna see what each episode's A B and C plotline was bc i still have that in my notes

Lola and Ivy getting excited about acting as part of the scheme is kinda cute

#them saying to each other 'break a leg' shjahsjhdfsh #ivy dickens #i don't have a lola tag. sorry girl #5x23 #rewatch #i am rambling

[themediocregatzby]

the only scene more intolerable than an Ivy Dickens scene, is a scene that also includes Rufus

#gossip girl #honestly who the fuck made the call to keep ivy dickens as a character #she's blander than the thanksgiving sweet potatoes

[strideofpride]

i still can’t believe rufus chose to house a known conwoman over his own son. like dan is CLEARLY spiraling, he’s never acted anything like this before in his entire life, and rufus’s response is to fucking throw him to the wolves? rufus gets a lot of well-deserved shit for letting jenny become homeless in season 2, and while contextually that was indisputably worse it still kills me that rufus clearly has not learned his lesson at all and is willing to once again put his pride/feelings over his child’s well-being!!!

I mean in Rufus' defense, I wouldn't say he choose to throw Dan to the wolves? From what I remember of season 6, it was Dan who choose not to live there, it's not like Rufus kicked him out. And from what I remember of season 2 Jenny ran away??? Like a big part of Rufus' storyline in 2A was trying to get Jenny back home, even when his actions were misguided, that was always his motivation.

Yeah Rufus' and Ivy's relationship is both incredibly gross and incredibly OOC, for a bunch of valid reasons that Dan points out in that scene, but I think frankly in regards to Dan, Rufus isn't thinking clearly? Like he's gone through a lot too, his marriage to Lily has completely imploded and he was fucking heartbroken and now he has something that's kinda providing him with some joy (ew) and all he can see is Dan knocking him for trying to be happy again. I don't think Rufus is even really noticing Dan is spiraling, I think he's too self-absorbed at this point to even think much about what Dan must be going through. It's not father of the year behavior but I do think it's understandable.

#like i'm not trying to defend rufus cause like a father's job is to do right by their kids #but also i do completely understand where he's coming from in that scene with dan #anti rufus humphrey #i guess #gossip girl #ivy dickens #dan humphrey #anonymous #strideofprideanswers
