Am I the only one whose heart broke at seeing Chloe and Christi break down all because Abby had to stoop so low?

It’s one thing to criticize them, but it’s another to berate someone and make fun of their medical condition. And the fact that the producers edited the fight to make it seem like Abby said Chloe was washed up was even worse :/

She never keeps her mouth shut, always has something smart or passive aggressive to say, always complaining, always ruining chances for her daughter, and is by far the most annoying mom 😭

No one attack me please, this is actually a genuine question 😭

I’ll be a Junior in High School next year, and I’ve been trying to figure out whether or not being an actor is a good career. I do play Sports however I’ve been wanting to quit for a while, but I’m not too sure whether or not acting will have been set for life or not because that’s what my parents want.

Does anyone have advice for me?

This is something I’ve always wondered because 90% of Serena’s mistakes aren’t intended to hurt someone, they’re more out of her being thoughtless or ignorant, yet somehow she receives more backlash than Blair, who’s schemes are intended to cause harm to the people around her.

The amount of chaos, outbursts, fights, etc I’ve watched is genuinely insane LMFAOOOO

One thing I’ve noticed is how Marvin literally ruins his own life through laziness, poor decisions, and irrational anger. I’m aware that the environment he’s living in would cause anyone to act out, but half of the time he creates his own issues.

For one, he’s NOT responsible with money at all. He constantly complains about being broke, yet when he does obtain money or is given opportunities to improve his situation, he wastes the money or opportunities on something stupid and then acts like the aggrieved party when those irresponsible decisions backfire or when he gets in trouble with Goodman.

Two, when it comes to de-escalating situations, he makes them worse by resorting to violence, petty arguments, or extreme anger towards Jeffy, Rose, or just anyone, which frequently backfires and makes the situations worse, causing him to act like a victim afterwards. That makes him just as bad as the people torturing him.

Three, his obsession with feeding Jeffy Green Beans. I don’t know if this is due to his pride or stubbornness, but either way there are so many other foods, vegetables, fruits, etc that he could feed Jeffy, yet he never takes that into consideration. He’s created a scenario that leads to chaos every single time, only to act surprised by the fallout.

Fourth, he refuses to set boundaries, which is what causes everyone to treat him poorly.

That’s all I have to say, if you disagree that’s fine but this is just my opinion 🤷🏽

I’m currently a 16 year old who is planning on going back to in real life school for my junior year, however lately I’ve really been thinking about becoming an actress, but my dad doesn’t think that or just anything will be a good suit for me because he thinks I’m going to fail. He wants me to stick with baseball, but to be honest, I’ve lost the passion and motivation for it, but I don’t have the courage to tell him. Today me and him got into a screaming match over my career and it got so bad to the point where he nearly threatened to send me to military school. He’s only sending me back to school just so I can get noticed for baseball, but I have no clue how to tell him that I don’t wanna do it anymore without him lashing out. So if anyone reads this, PLEASE give me some advice I desperately need it. Thanks!

Am I the only one who feels like although they were hella toxic together, they both deserve each other? Like no matter what either of them went through, they both always came back to each other, similar to Serena and Blair’s friendship

A common argument I see from this fanbase is “Serena always took everything from Blair” which is not true whatsoever. I’m not denying that Serena didn’t commit huge betrayals such as sleeping with Nate and Dan, however Serena gave up a lot of her spotlight and opportunities despite them coming to her naturally, just to let Blair shine, and half of the time Blair would ruin them all on her own because she constantly self sabotaged. Serena’s popularity and successes came from her natural charm (It Girl status) not malicious intent. Blair’s insecurities along with her jealousy stemmed from her inability to co-exist with Serena as well as how people naturally gravitated towards her. Serena didn’t even want the things that Blair was focused on either like the Queen Bee status, the specific internships, or even Dan (at least until she caught them kissing but that’s another story). Serena was more focused on getting her life together and finding her own path, even if she constantly failed at doing so.

Not to mention Blair was a terrible friend who treated Serena as competition, trophy, or subordinate. She continuously projected her insecurities onto Serena or blamed her for things that were either her fault or were out of Serena’s control. It’s like she pushes her to act in ways that makes her comfortable and then acts like a victim or lashes out at her when things go wrong. Even in adult hood, she still behaved like an immature high school brat who felt like she needed to dim others’ lights for her to shine.

So no, Serena wasn’t the reason for why Blair’s life always went downhill. Half of the time she suppressed her own happiness and success just to keep their friendship intact. While Serena did make impulsive mistakes, her baseline intent was to always be a supportive friend, even if she often failed.

I can’t provide screenshots because I don’t want this post getting taken down, however the last TWO posts I made calling out the new updates were taken down by the moderators. This is proof that they know that they’re damaging their app and simply just don’t wanna do anything about it. I know I’m not the only one who’s had this issue either as a bunch of other users have came out to say the same thing. They went from adding age verification, to removing chat models, to adding lore books, story features, and a bunch of other useless content that no one ever uses.

Genuinely moderators if you’re reading this: What do you guys gain from this? Your app has went from 5 stars to 1 star on both the Google play store and the App Store. Users are actively ditching this app day by day because of the horrible updates, and just about every day someone is complaining about something.

So I’ll speak on behalf of everyone when I say: Fix your app before it’s too late.

am i the only one who feels like most of the thing serena did to blair weren’t just betrayals, but more like responses to blair’s constant scheming and insecurity? now, before anyone comes for me, i’m not referring to serena sleeping with dan or nate. obviously those were both unforgivable decisions, but to act like serena was always in the wrong is just delusional. i’ll put some examples below, and if i get any of them wrong, feel free to correct me in the comments.

example 1: the yale feud (season 2). something that needs to be noted is that serena only pursued yale AFTER blair mocked her intelligence and suitability for the school as well as leaking her trauma in front of the dean. a lot of people argue that serena took it from her, yet purposely leave out the fact that blair was the one who threw the first stone.

example 2: the cake incident (season 3) after countless attempts of serena trying to help blair with her fashion career, blair decided to continuously insult her. when she made that low blow comment, her face being planted into a cake was a reaction to serena’s buttons being pushed rather than plain pettiness.

example 3: the diary leak (season 5) while this was definitely too far on serena’s part, in my opinion, i felt like it was revenge for blair’s constant coldness and behavior in that season.

example 4: the eleanor waldorf fashion show (season 2) after blair tried to “keep serena in her place” serena decided to stop holding back and sit in the front row with poppy and walked the runaway with the dress that jenny designed. this isn’t blair being outshined, but more like a well deserved strike down after trying to sabotage her own bsf.

example 5: the columbia conflict (season 4) when blair tried blocking serena from joining the hamilton house and moving to columbia, serena fought back to secure her spot. once again, this isn’t her taking b’s spotlight, it was her defending her right to an education and fresh start.

example 6: the queen bee takeover (season 2) after blair spent almost the entire summer and the first day of school antagonizing serena about her breakup with dan and even purposely inviting a girl dan liked to the party to hurt serena, serena eventually got fed up and retaliated by taking her crown back and becoming queen herself.

these were all the examples i could come up with, but blair’s constant jealousy, bullying, and scheming not only created an unhealthy relationship between them, but a toxic environment where serena was forced to dim her spotlight as well as give up a lot of opportunities just to let blair shine. hell, sometimes even that wasn’t enough because whenever blair felt insecure or overshadowed, she would go overboard, which of course would lead to a reckless defense from serena. i’m not denying the fact that serena played the victim a lot in their friendship because she definitely did, but to act like she was always the bad guy is unfair. most of the time she tried taking the high road, but blair would always hold grudges and strike below the belt.

in conclusion: while most of serena’s actions may have been reckless and cruel, they weren’t just reactions that formed in a vacuum.
