Pro tip for rewatching beloved shows:

skip the first episode, few episodes or first season when you watch it again. Once you finish watching go back to the first episode and watch the ones you skipped, you're welcome 😌 <3

You get to watch all of it and you don't have to feel sad and lonely when u finish because the characters are only at the beginning of their journey. 👉🧠 im so smart 👏👏

**Psst, if the only times Chuck is actually a functioning and good person is when he's with or chasing Blair then he's not rlly a good person and his redemption is conditional. His redemption with Eva is also undone when he tries to assault Blair**

WHAT! Who said that!?

Watching Chuck and Blair's relationship makes me feel like I'm stuck in a toxic relationship 🤢 blegh

Chuck from Gossip Girl is written in such an odd way.

He starts off as a disgusting, scum of the earth teenager who tried to sexually assault 2 girls in the just the first episode. Then he has a storyline w Blair where he still treats her so badly. Then after Bart dies he gets suspended (or expelled? Idk) from high school. And he just never gets an education???? But he's "Chuck Bass" ig~ (He's an uneducated, inexperienced teenager with a bad reputation. His best quality is the billionaire status he inherited from his father)

From then on all of Chuck's storylines are that of a man in his late 20's/30's even tho he's still a teenager????

I also personally think Chuck's older adult storylines made the writers age up most of the main cast's storylines. Like why are they doing 0 college student activities. The writers got carried away with Chuck and ended up writing a character that makes very little sense in the real word or in the GG world.

This! is why they just stopped going to college,,, the writers became infatuated with Chuck as the main character and Blair as his leading lady.

The only ppl doing normal things for their age are Dan, Jenny and Vanessa.

Teen Wolf should have centered Scott and Stiles together.

The show should have centered around their friendship, the 2 of them solving mysteries (mainly) together, how they became friends, and them gathering pack members over the seasons as an Alpha and human Beta. 😔😔 Are there any fanfics like that out there???

[wtfisnttaken]

Ugghh Teen Wolf centered romantic relationships wayyy too much

If they had centered literally any other relationship dynamic and only had minor romantic plots it would have been a much better show with better character developments

Shawn Spencer is such a cat person! Why did they forget this in the later season!? 😭😭

He definitely would have gotten a cat when he was older and more settled!!

Henry doing unhinged shit was the best part of Once Upon A Time lolll

At 10 he ran away from a small town all the way to New York to find his birth mom to kidnap her as if that is a logical thing to do ahhahah

Or when everyone is trapped inside the Author's book, and he immediately just enters on a random page with no plan jahahaha

Henry doesn't do a lot, but when he does, it is almost always unhinged lmaoo

AU where Dan and Blair are paired up for a project in an advanced class that obviously none of their other friends are in. They work on projects together over the years and eventually fall in love. They develop a secret relationship but end up breaking up when their mutual friends start suspecting they are lying about something and neither of them can break girl/guy code by actually getting together with their best friend's ex. :(

They both grow up; Dan becoming a poet/author and Blair becoming an editor at a fashion magazine. They're mostly out of the toxic circle of the upper east side when they reconnect and try to be friends out in the open. They become very close friends again until they realise they don't want to be with anyone else and they'd rather just deal with all of the UES drama toegther. So they finally get back together, in public this time. <3

Colin to his family: *can't remember how many countries he visited during the summer*

Colin in front of Penelope: 17! It was 17 (completely unprompted)

Lolll he was just waiting for her to ask him anything!

Having Chuck and Blair finally get married just so that Blair wouldn't have to testify against Chuck makes very little sense. Feels very forced. This is the love story ppl obsess over and idolize???

Blair was the only other witness next to Chuck, if she had testified she could have easily proved Chuck's innocence and cleared him of any suspicion. Getting married to the only witness so they don't have to testify is so suspicious! It's basically saying: "yes I'm guilty but the only evidence can't even be used".

They were literally in the ideal position to make this all go away. The only thing better would be if they had just called the police as soon as Bart fell off and said smth like "I tried to save him, but I couldn't pull him up!" They had evidence that Bart already had 2 ppl killed and tried to have his son killed, this would have been a pretty easy way to prove Chuck's innocence

There's smth abt watching the uber rich on gossip girl celebrate thanksgiving that feels particularly gross. And Blair's native american stripper outfit in the last season feels especially uncomfortable and infuriating. Really fuels an "eat the rich" motto.

I know everyone says the gg reboot is too woke and pc but it's better than the tone of the original imo. The original is abt a bunch of billionaire rich white people doing horrible things, getting away with it constantly, bullying and belittling anyone they think is 'inferior' and getting a happily ever after.

And the only agent within the story that would call them out is gossip girl who had a pretty weak presence in later seasons and only reappeared as a tool for a seperate plot to help the characters. All that for gossip girl to be a stupid boy desperate to join a higher class. The gossip girl aspect could have been someone to completely expose and dismantle the character's empires built on the backs, body's and blood of others. Especially with our current online culture of cancellation and accountability. Gossip girl could have been a fascinating show with the tagline "eat the rich"

Instead it's a very poorly written show about billionaire's doing things just for the plot (not cuz it's true to their character). Honestly seems like some of the plotlines got away from the writers and they were just scrambling to write something.

Unpopular opinion: Dan Humphrey is my favourite character. He's a bit insufferable in the first season or 2 but after he stopped chasing after Serena I rlly liked him

I also will never accept that Dan is gossip girl, it's just way too big of a plot hole that also affects how the character is viewed overall despite the fact that for 95% of the show he was not written to behave or act like he actually was gossip girl.

He wrote and published horrible things abt all his friends and family but tbh when they all constantly do horrible things it feels like a weird form of justice by calling out bad ppl who he also still hangs around. For me, the audience, I love it cuz it's the right amount of drama that I want. And also half the time the other characters call out Dan, they have recently done smth awful that makes me dislike them more.

I don't think Dan being a hypocrite and fitting in w this awful crowd is the worst trait in the show.

Nelly Yuki is such a Queen! The only character who has grown up since high school and doesn't give in to the rest of the character's childish antics and schemes. I love her!

She's a grown woman who is actually making a name for herself in her career. Honestly she's lowkey the type of powerful woman that Blair respects and look up to. A woman who worked hard for her success and has truly grown up

[wtfisnttaken]

The writers of gossip girl only wrote 1 singular normal and healthy relationship with a good build up to the relationship. And it's Dair 🥰

Dan and Blair were never related (low bar, I know) they started as enemies who developed a nice friendship, where they didn't backstab/betray each other constantly (serena and blair) or become friends just because they grew up together and were in the same circles. They're also one of the few couples who weren't on again and off again.

They were truly just 2 people with mutuals. They began as enemies because of their differences, turned into friends because of their similarities and ended up together through a naturally developed affection and love. I need a thousand fics for them 😍

[wtfisnttaken]

Having Serena manipulate Dan and get him drunk to cheat on Blair was both a disgusting and frustrating plot point.

Serena essentially sa'd Dan but then they end up getting married. This incident is also then used as a reason why Chuck is the only 1 who truly loved Blair and why Chuck is a better man than Dan for never cheating on her. That is just pathetic. Dan was sa'd by Serena and Chuck tried to sa Blair and many other girls.

It is genuinely disheartening to see very serious and horrible things happen on the show and no one addressing them or reacting in a sympathetic way or calling out what just happened

[wtfisnttaken]

I think I need a full fanfiction fixing Dan and Blair's slow burn relationship starting from the first season immediately. 🫢 please, if anyone knows of a good fic like that

I need them to go from enemies to friends to lovers and both of them are pining the whole time! I'm not a good writer so I don't think I could do it justice but I can bulletpoint plot points and relationship progression ☝️🤓
