"We're going to get real honest, real quick."

I'm not sure when or why the One Chicago family decided to split up, but I wish that day never happened. We were once so close, got along despite our differences, but now it feels like that is the very thing we're all being attacked for. Characters come and go, but what never should is the fan's respect for their fellow person. This is not a dictatorship but a democracy. There is no right or wrong, only opinions. We're allowed to have an opinion and should never been in fear of sharing them.

I used to think Dawsey fandom is mature but after Gabby left i see some fans acting like a child, reminding me the times after Erin left PD. I remember some Erin fans were even hating and blaming the cast and excusing everything to hate Jay and even Jesse. Now the same is happening to Matt and Jesse S. It is so disappinting and sad. I think Monica Raymund, Jesse Spencer, Jesse Lee and Sophia Bush are all seem like great people and deserve better fans.

Jesse and Tracy at least tried on monday, the OneChicagoDay, to make clear that they don't want Upstead to happen. And they are already "protesting" against it with not posting about it or liking anything romantic related to it. Of all ship fandoms in Chicago PD Upstead is pure toxic. The shippers are attacking none-shippers as soon as they express their opinion. Also it's not only about the characters but also about them in reallife. Upsteadshippers even attacked Tracys boyfriend on instagram.

Jenna Takes Chicago

I’ve woken up every morning since my Chicago trip singing Go Cubs Go in my head and I’m not at all mad about it.

As some of you may know, I recently vacationed in Chicago (finally!) with my best friends and it was everything I wanted it to be. As a born and raised New Yorker I suppose you could say I have very high expectations of what a “city” should be, and Chi-Town did not disappoint. It was…

In Which Aaron Tveit is Magical and Other Fun Facts

In Which Aaron Tveit is Magical and Other Fun Facts

Hi friends!

I’m here with yet another quick life update, with big things to share this time around! Sorry if this is boring for some, I just feel like it’s kinda nice to know the girl behind the Twitter handle. If you think otherwise, feel free to drop a comment below and tell me to go away. I probably won’t, but it’ll be noted!

I have no fun transitions this week. Let’s dive right in! I’m…

First up on my summer binge list: Parenthood.

I’m not quite sure how this show managed to stay off my radar for so long. Don’t get me wrong, sixteen-year-old me knew everything there was to know about the Amber/Ryan romance thanks to YouTube, but I never could have imagined that there was an entire Braverman family waiting for me with wide open arms…

"I'm reading Sweetbitter." "Isn't that a TV show?"

“I’m reading Sweetbitter.” “Isn’t that a TV show?”

Apparently.

I had no clue, but after reading it I totally get it.

Here’s why it would be a really great television show.

There’s romance. It’s cute for a beat and then it’s just a painful angsty mess. The perfect recipe for an OTP.

There’s that familial vibe. Here are all of these people from different walks of life, with different dreams and aspirations, working in the most successful restaurant…

Hello From the Other Side

Hello From the Other Side

Yes, I’m still alive.

This brief hiatus has been wonderful, and while I am not yet returning to fandom Twitter and the somewhat horrifying tweets that come with it, I do have some updates to share with y’all.

So I thought, what better day to share some tidbits than on National Donut Day?!

In case you were wondering, I have already eaten a donut this morning. It was maple waffle. Super sweet and…

A Message to @MonicaRaymund

A Message to @MonicaRaymund

From the bottom of my heart: Thank You.

Thank you for breathing fire into Gabriela Dawson. For fearlessly telling her story with a vulnerability and truth that settled deep in my bones and awakened my own fire. Thank you for molding her into a warrior that never backed down from adversity.

See, we got more than five years of Gabriela Dawson being an absolute badass. Never once in these five years…

One Year of Goodbyes

One Year of Goodbyes

I wanted a dog for as long as I could remember. I’m talking desperate, beg-my-parents-every-night kind of want. They had tried to appease me. They even went so far as to buy me a stuffed animal dog for Christmas that was supposedly meant to respond to the sound of my voice. I say supposedly because no matter how I called out to that thing, it never once listened to my commands.

I guess my…

Tried to Write a Review and Ended up With a Rant: A Chicago Fire Tale

If you think my opinions are unpopular — stop reading.

If you are tired of my rants — stop reading.

If you’re a troll and are only here so that you can rudely (and unsuccessfully) try to change my opinions — please, stop reading.

Because this is a safe space I feel the need to be honest with you all. I’m sure many of you have already come to this conclusion on your own and this will not be a…

Chicago Fire Mid-Season Update

Go ahead, yell at me. When the season started I promised weekly reviews and after three weeks I failed to deliver on that promise. If any of you actually missed my ramblings I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies for being MIA. My reason is that I was so completely overwhelmed by the Dawson episode that I couldn’t coherently put my thoughts down on the page (or the screen.) That’s my story and…

Life Lessons from Lauren Graham

I’ve recently started reading Lauren Graham’s Talking as Fast as I Can and came across this gem:

Because here’s the thing: I was fine on my own, and so are you. But it can be hard when you feel ready for Happy Couplehood and you seem to have missed the train. As my friend Oliver Platt used to say to me about hopes and dreams I’d share with him: “It’s coming, just not on your time frame.” I find…

New Year, New Posts

Happy New Year!

Sorry I’m a little late, I’ve been trying to beat these post-vacation blues and get back into the swing of things. What better way to get my groove back than by kicking the year off with a post?

To know me is to accept that I’m enthusiastic about literally everything. Holiday season sets me into overdrive, and while admittedly I’m not much of a New Year’s Eve/Day person, this year…

From Fandomonium to Absolute Perseverance

Hello, everyone! Jenna speaking.

If you’ve been following my ramblings on here you know that I’ve been gravitating towards a more personal approach to this blog. While I’ll still, of course, be dissecting all of my favorite shows and ships (you’ll see that Chicago Fire has it’s own tab), I have given this page a bit of a makeover to accommodate my shift in content.

I’m very excited to share some…

One Final Lesson from the Women of Tree Hill

One Final Lesson from the Women of Tree Hill

Call it an absurd coincidence, but about an hour before logging on to Twitter Sunday night my sister and I sat at our kitchen table discussing our favorite fictional characters. I expressed my disappointment in not having many leading ladies on my roster — I always tend to navigate towards male characters — but then quickly launched into a declaration of love for B.Davis, P.Sawyer, Haley James…
