so from what i’ve been reading on here a lot of y’all hate (or at least really don’t feel) the season 7 storytelling or most of what happens after lucas and peyton leave the show.
i’ve been rewatching for the first time since i was 15 and for the last 6 seasons i was wondering why i remembered having so strong emotions towards the show and some lovestory’s back then because literally no lovestory before season 7 didn’t reactivate anything.

but now that i reached season 7, it all comes back. apparently clay and quinn (and julian & brooke) were the only couple i ever really felt?? but you hate them? is there anyone relating to this? i just love how they are falling in love in such a honest, drama-free and mutual way. peyton and lucas just gave me the ick at some point 😭 and don’t get me wrong i still enjoyed the other seasons but the lovestorys didn’t do too much for me

i know i know it’s a teen drama and a teen drama needs DRAMA. but still for the life of me i cant imagine not telling my partner, in this case even a fiance, that i had a relationship with the guy who wants to make a movie out of his book??? like is there anyone on this sub - who is or ever has been in a healthy relationship - who could lie to their partner about something like this or at least not tell them directly? my partner is my best friend and the first person i want to tell literally everything, i would physically have the urge to tell him that it’s my ex who just showed up at our doorstep? I just feel like this is one of the more unrealistic drama-plotlines…

(minor spoiler for season 4)

ok so if this wasn’t a teenage drama series(i know it is…), haley would’ve HAD to continue the tour and not let a guy she fell in love with as a teenager get in the way of having a great music career, right?
i’m currently watching season 4 ep 10 where keith shows lucas alternative storylines and one shows an album with haley and chris on the cover saying ‚world tour‘ which implies she would’ve been GLOBALLY relevant as a musician if she hadn’t come back.
am i just completely unromantic (which i’m not tbh) or just grown up and feminist enough to be all for decentering men from your life and your major life decisions, especially in your youth?
does anyone actually believe in this ‚meeting your soulmate at 16‘-stuff and additionally, in this being enough to give up a career that only a really low percentage of people will ever get the chance to have in their life?

i am really interested to hear if someone thinks she did the right thing (if it happened in real life) and if i am just too biased to see it differently
