How I would have written Ellie's arc post season 4 (degrassi tng)

Tagging @thedegrassidiaries, my Ellie enthusiast moot <3

Season 5: Ellie would have zero love interests. No being all gaga over Craig, no Ellie lowkey toying with Jimmy's feelings and this weird love triangle. She'd be 100% single.

Ellie and Jimmy would still bond over their love for art and become closer friends, making Hazel a little suspicious. But they'd both let Hazel know they're just friends and nothing more.

I'd also give Hazel and Ellie a bond too. Ellie would give Hazel relationship advice and help her understand the palex situation more. While Hazel would also help Ellie open up about Sean.

Another detail l'd add is that Sean and Ellie lose their virginities to one another the day around the shooting era. Like there is nothing that will get me to believe that Sellie didn't have sex while living together but that Sean and Emma were doing it while he was staying in her house, where her parents and brother also are.

Basically Ellie would be single just hanging out with friends.

Season 6: Ellie still lives with Marco and Paige, she still works at the Core. But she doesn’t date Jesse nor have feelings for Craig. Sean comes back for Ellie but Ellie would still be pissed at him for leaving but he’d eventually earn her trust and forgiveness. They’d get back together in Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The dinner scene in What It Feels Like To Be A Ghost would still be there, except Ellie wouldn’t be passive aggressive towards Cranny. Ellie would be annoyed because BOTH Craig and Manny are there and she’s still upset at how Ashley got fucked over.

Ellie would catch Craig doing coke and he’d blame Manny, but she wouldn’t buy it because as @delsrossi said, Ellie is a journalist and canonically observant. She’d notice that it’s Craig’s. So when Manny catches Ellie at the door, they’d have a short talk. Ellie would tell her that Craig tried to blame her.

Ellie would tell Sean and Marco. Sean would also be on the boat of 'yep this is Craig’s'. Same with Marco. Craig got to rehab and Sellie stays happy and in love.

Sean would have that army storyline, except Ellie would be supportive and the whole pregnancy storyline wouldn’t exist. Sellie would end up doing long distance.

Season 7: She’d just focus on the Core and her friendships with Paige and Marco. No Mellie hookup, no codependency. And Alex would stay in this version too, so I’d show more of her and Ellie’s bond. Maybe also show a bond with her parents. Her long distance relationship with Sean would be thriving. Sean would come back to see her again for a bit and they’d catch up.

In season 8, I wouldn’t even have the subplot with Marco-Paige-Ellie because it regressed both Paige and Ellie and Marco was thrown under the bus.

@lcvb1tes (🏛️)

Was it bad? Yes, of course it was. It may not have been the worst thing ever, but it was so bad because Hawk had already experienced the worst thing ever. He supposed Bobby had as well, but where it may have made him want to open himself up, it had made Hawk close himself off. Yes, there had been sex, there had been boys and bars, but there had been no company. He wanted to be held, but every touch set his nerves alight. He was already tired of fighting with Bobby, of his insistence that he be a part of his life, but at the same time it was the closest he'd come to another person aside from Emma and Caleb since Manny died, and there was a part of him that craved it. It would have been easier just to sleep with him, to do that and move on, but that wasn't what Bobby wanted. He wanted friendship, and Hawk didn't know what to do with that. "You're a psychologist because you insist on psychoanalyzing me. So thank you, Dr. Freud, but before you ask, no, I never wanted to fuck my mother." He sighed. he didn't want to answer his questions. "I never asked you to care about me, and Manny shouldn't have either. That's the only reason you're here, isn't it? If he hadn't asked you would have left by now. Either that, or you're crazier than you look."

2, 5, 8 (Backtrack), 10, 15, 18, 23 & 33

I wanted to start out and say thanks for sending these questions. Answers are under a cut.

Which of your fics is your pride and joy?

I guess Backtrack is the oldest one, and I’m extremely proud of myself for sticking with it. I still fully intend to update it, but I’ve put a lot of time into it (and other stories). 

It’s funny I should even mention my Emma/Jay story Together Forever got me through the early days of the pandemic. It would be a close second, and lately, I’ve been writing a lot for Where Are You Now?  older idea for a story that I reworked starting last year. 

I feel so much for Backtrack because it was also my most challenging and the one that got me back into fanfiction after a few years. Around the same time, I was writing a discontinued story, The Starlet and the Dealer, about Zig and Maya circa season 13 but it’s soapy and I have no desire to revisit it. I’d probably end up throwing Zig and Maya who had a complicated dynamic throughout this story endgame, but it’d be a disservice to the story and it doesn’t matter because of the direction the show went into it was unfair to Zoe’s character even though it’s a fic. Does that make sense?

What’s something you learned while researching a fic?

I do some research, but I do apply a lot of random things from movie quotes, pop culture references, and things I find interesting into stories. 

I guess I researched alcoholism for one of my earlier works I Have Nothing. I remember when I was in school I read a young adult short story in English class back in hs about being a ‘closet drunk’ and I kind of wrote it and threw some things together and some of the things I read about. 

The story is set in season 3 when Emma had quite a bit on her plate from Snake’s cancer to a fallout with her best friend and more importantly, when she loses Sean. Isolated she forges a new friendship with Amy who leads a complicated and tumultuous home life. Sean becomes increasingly worried about her and more and more drawn to her as the story starts. It’s something the show at the time I was writing it didn’t explore until Fiona. 

I also did some research on fake dating for Faking It. I gave it rom-com vibes, it’s one of the more lighthearted things I’ve written with less traumatic events I suppose. 

What is your favorite line/section from [Backtrack]?

I like how Sean and Emma re-meet all over again, so they catch up with one another over coffee and Sean declares why he’s returned and it’s a bit predictable, and then they decide to take a walk in the park and eventually they end up at Emma’s, so I like writing beginnings and it turned into a longfic which it wasn’t meant to be that long. 

Is there a character or ship you’d love to write for, but haven’t yet?

I haven’t written anything about other shows but Degrassi. I’d like to perhaps play in other universes in the future, such as Stranger Things. 

First person to come to mind is Spinner he’s never really a centralized character. He’s either the waiter and tied to The Dot, or I’m breaking him and Emma up. I’ve never written anything centric to him. I guess I tried to expand him more in Backtrack but he’s definitely not a main character. 

As for girlies, Liberty is rarely in my stories, if she is she isn’t centralized she is tied to Manny, and where it works for me/the story, sometimes she’s more friendly, or her loyalties are tied to Manny than to Emma a character I write most about. 

I had Liberty make little cameos in a few stories, like reunion one-shots. I do have ideas for something like that where she is reunited with the child she put up for adoption with JT and grappling with that stuff. I don’t know if I could work with it or whatever, maybe someday. 

Does anyone you know in real life know you write fanfiction?

My boyfriend knows I sometimes talk about them with him. He seems to be supportive. 

How many WIPs do you have and how many do you expect to finish?

I suck. Here is a list. I do expect to finish most of them? I kind of fell out of love with I Have Nothing and Summer Days so I don't know, I kinda need motivation for them.

Backtrack 

Faking It 

Together Forever 

Where are You Now?

Summer Days 

I Have Nothing 

What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

Something about Miles and Lola, Zig and Maya, or some later characters. Maybe something special like where I peep where they are a few years after Lola graduates and where she is and how Zaya’s doing in California. I don’t know. I got some plot bunnies. 

A character you want to protect.

I destroy them so I can fix them. No one is safe. Just kidding, I don’t know how to answer that. 

Thanks for sending me these questions!

Fight the Power

-Jane's love for football gives her the courage to try out for the team, despite it being exclusively boys. Jane is still determined to play but being the sole female teammate causes heated conflicts both on and off the football field.

Didn't We Almost Have It All

-Liberty plans to gain status in college by pledging a sorority. Her determination to fit in and impress the sorority sisters ultimately strains her friendship with Manny and Emma. Holly J is elected Student Council President and revels in being the queen bee in school. However, a crush on a fellow classmate may unseat Holly J's influence.

Jimmy Brooks:

Terri MacGregor:

OTP: Spinner/Terri

BROTP(s): Hazel, Paige, Spinner, Jimmy

NOTP(s): Terri/Rick

Ashley Kerwin:

OTP: Craig/Ashley

BROTP(s): Ellie, Paige, Liberty (but I'd consider that more of a mentor/mentee thing than an actual friendship)

BROTP(s): Hazel, Marco, Ashley, Terri, Spinner (when they aren't involved), Alex (I hate saying this, but I preferred them as friends and didn't think Paige was the best girlfriend to Alex), JT

NOTP(s): Paige/anyone except Spinner or Alex because they were all terrible. Matt was a predator. Jesse seemed to exclusively date barely legal freshmen. Griffin essentially re-raped her.

Marco Del Rossi:

OTP: Marco/Dylan

BROTP(s): Ellie, Paige, Spinner, Craig, Jimmy, Alex, Manny

NOTP(s): I don't care enough about Marco's other canon pairings to be against them, but Marco/Eric because it just seemed like Marco was desperate not to be alone in that relationship and only got with Eric because they were both gay

NOTP(s): Caitlin/Kevin Smith 🤮 & Caitlin/her old fiance

NOTP(s): Derek/any girl he expressed interest in

Damian Hayes:

OTP: Damian/Liberty if the show had bothered to develop them and hadn't paired Damian with Emma first as if all three of his love interests were interchangeable

Anya MacPherson:

OTP: N/A, but Anya/Wesley or Anya/Fiona if they happened

OTP: Wesley/Hannah

OTP: Riley/Zane

BROTP(s): Anya & the same answer as Riley - anyone, because Zane does not exist when Riley isn't in an episode

NOTP(s): N/A

NOTP(s): Owen/Anya, but Owen/anyone

Jake Martin:

OTP: Jake/Clare

BROTP(s): Mo, Jenna, Marisol, Zig because they'll probably be related by marriage someday which is sad for Jake, Imogen

[cowboycostume]

the hilarious thing about watching degrassi is that all the interpersonal drama is like. pretty good at continuity - there are some flaws but overall the grudges/friendships/etc once established are maintained and referenced (no matter how bizarre). the backdrop of the school year however is sooo malleable. they literally do so many plays and reports with titles like "what is media" manny is a five sport athlete. emma runs environmental club but they meet 2x a year. none of that matters. it's just the set dressing

[fuzzychildchopshop]

imagine Emma, Manny and Liberty meeting Mia, Emily and Lauren

They’d make a great friendship 

[userlaylivia]

Lilacs

AN : Short Manny & Sean friendship drabble with some Semma thrown in

Of all the people Manny expected to see in a flower shop Sean Cameron was not one of them but here he was. It had been about two years since she had seen him after he went into the military. She hadn't really kept much contact with him, not as much as Emma.

She walked towards him "Hey" his eyes got wide "Manny how have you been ?" she smiled "Good and you ?"  "It's nice to be back home," he said. He then turned his attention to the flowers that were on display.

She pointed at them "Take these they're her favorite" His eyes lit up "Manny you're a lifesaver !" He went over and grabbed them.

Was it just her or did he seem nervous ? "What's wrong ?" she asked. He hesitated before admitting "I wanted to get flowers for her…I just…" Emma. He wanted to get flowers for Emma.

 "You don't know what you should get ?" she guessed. "Well yeah" he said Manny nodded and started looking around luckily for him she knew what flowers Emma liked. She saw purple on the corner of her eye. She took a closer look. It was a bouquet of lilacs. They were Emma's favorite flowers. "Bingo !" 

He then went over to the counter and paid for the bouquet. "I hope everything goes well," he said. She smiled "Trust me it will"

The next day, Emma came over to Manny's place with a bouquet in her hands "Manny !" she exclaimed "Sean came back from the military and he gave me these flowers !" and she then explained the other things they ended up doing.

Manny listened to her with a smile on her face, hoping the wedding would come soon.

Rewrite for Emma and Jay from dtng 💗

Emma

Well, for starters, she and Peter NEVER would’ve dated. Never ever. Even if I wasn’t writing a semma endgame, I’d NEVER have her be with Peter.

I like the idea of Liberty and Emma being frienemies rather than besties tbh. Also she wouldn’t NEVER married Spinner. Also she’d be the maid of honor for Manny’s wedding <3

Jay

I actually like his character arc in canon but I’d show more of his friendship with Alex in s7. Also the idea of Jay dating Holly J while on his “break” with Manny makes me laugh. Mostly as a crackship tho, since she’d be 16 and he’s 21.

I’d show some bits of him and Emma interacting as friends too <3

Also he and Manny get married with Jiberty instead of Sp*mma

Humans as a society and as a species are fucked. We've fucked up since the very beginning and that is all we will ever do.

Our country, specifically America, is over for. And any alliances with America will also face hard times. The lives of the people will be taken away and I'm tired of pretending that everything will be okay when it won't be.

I'm trying so hard but nothing I do pleases anybody enough. I can't focus on feeding my family, feeding myself, my mental health, my grades, and my friendship all at the same time. I'm only 17, this shouldn't be happening but it is.

By the time you're reading this, I've probably ran away from home and observing the trucks at a nearby truck stop. Looking at what could have been my future, my dream job or being a truck driver.

Or that I haven't gone through with my plan by either getting caught or just chickening out like I always do... or something else has happened unexpectedly.

I'm sorry to the people I let down. Ari, Manny, Oliver, Rainer, Jamie, Arlo, East, Emma, Ghost, Aspen, Meph, Maddi, Krait, and many others.

hi !! sorry i haven't replied to your asks yet, i promise i still will <3 but i see you post about degrassi a lot and i started watching that show at some point but i just can't find the motivation to get back into it (i only watched like 4 episodes, my other problem is that i'm not sure exactly what episode i was on, so i don't know if i should just start again or what to do... so (if you want to), can you tell me what some reasons are to continue watching? like what do you like about the show etc. :)

ah no worries! the first season is a hit or a miss. i love it, takes me back but not everyone shares that love. it picks up in the second-fourth seasons all strong in different ways.

(under the cut)

season 2 is similar 2 season 1 but more beefy in the storyline dept. i hope you pick it back up but if you don't it's not for everyone. i hope i didn't spoil you too much with things, but the show aired in the 2000s. i know i was upset when something from dawsons creek got spoiled for me, that show predates degrassitng by over 5 years and ended in 2003. i just remained so far from that spoiler so long for it to happen unexpected to a favorite of mine, jen. i also dislike dawson i still haven't finished! i didn't even get to that storyline yet and i'm dreading and savoring the time i have left with that character. the show has dated with time, like the earlier seasons of degrassi but they're comforting. no biggie.

what i like about degrassi was tha tit was the first show that had kids my age at the time arguing, existing, living their lives, relatable. and what keeps me watching is mostly comfort, i like the characters, it's still funny sometimes and some storylines can be sad but beautifully written. it sets them apart from other teen dramas at the time, the careful consideration of development in the friendships and relationships. family, friends, found families and epic romances are the norm. my favorite characters and power couples i still love and set the tone for the stuff i like in terms of shows. sean is a lot like the oc's ryan, emma isn't the damsel but she is a strong female protag and fits with sean (best) in my opinion. strongest relationship is between these two, they're off and on and mostly on. they both had other relationships sellie is arguably (ellie) his second most talked about relationship. he does leave briefly after tragedy (vague) and returns again, he does leave once more but this time for good. he makes one last appearance before completely leaving the series for a new life without giving too much away.

i say maybe suggesting to skipping season 1 and starting with 2.

i got into degrassi a little late, like most shows but i found a rerun and that was my first episode from the first season toward the end of that season, called wannabe. i loved the interaction between the girls and i found myself rooting for these girls i didn't even know. they don't look dawsons casting they look about 12, 13 at most, but i had similar conversations like this with friends and i found it highly relatable tehr will always be that mean girl like paige, patronizing the young impressional grade 7's in emma manny and their friends who are younger and such. season 2 is a little more intensive in drama but i think you'll like that. it feels a lot more real, the premier for 2 is really good, there's violence but there's a great storyline going on there. maybe if you start there you can backtrack 1 later and see it through. 3 is a fan favorite, four is particularly dark and strong major storyline arc going on there based on 3, and so on. you'll love it as it goes on and it's worth noting that the oc started around the time of season 3 airing of degrassi. so there's fashion and technology differences, emphasis on music and familiar faces and vibes.

degrassi is long its time consuming and there's filler or bad episodes here and there, there's a few snoozy seasons namely end of 7 until 10 and it picks up. season 13 and 14 aren't as strong, but netflix's continuation next class picks up with those guys and so on and so forth. i feel like a tour guide rn.

but when you have time, give it a chance from another season closer to the beginning when things are more established and if you still don't like it, at least you gave it a try/chance.

i didn't get hooked until mid season 2 when all was said and done. season 2 is so special to me, and might be my favorite out of all the seasons, season 4 too but beyond that there's some good ones here and there and bad ones and a mixture. not everyone is gonna have the same love for it but i love hearing that you're mildly interested in it.

💌 thanks for messaging me.
