I said this on the Quarry subreddit and multiple people were shocked so in case you somehow missed it, I just really need everyone to know: Dylan Lenivy is TALL AS FUCK.
Miles Robbins is just a hair shy of 6’2” IRL and most of the time Dylan’s model looks to be about that height compared to the real life heights of the other actors (he looks about a foot taller than Kaitlyn, for example, and Brenda Song is 5’2”).
Here’s a height chart I made for myself early on in writing Quarry fanfic just to keep everyone’s heights in mind, based ONLY on the actors’ listed heights online:
Now, we know they fuck with the heights of the models based on what they need them to do in the scene, but Dylan is consistently just about the tallest motherfucker in all of Hackett’s Quarry. He’s taller than Ethan Suplee who plays Bobby (but they made Bobby a lot taller than Nick also, so idk how tall he’s supposed to be in-game. Real fucking tall tho). He’s taller than Ted Raimi (but herein lies some fuckery, because Ryan appears to be taller than Travis, but Ted is 6 ft even and Justice is 5’10”).
Evan Evagora, who plays Nick, is 6’1” and change. Nick may be standing back slightly further from the railing than Dylan here but he also looks to be significantly shorter. And that’s not even counting Dylan’s tall-ass hair.
They look about the same height here but Dylan is sort of crouching on his way to deliver that incredibly subtle nudge.
Does that mean Dylan is even taller than Miles’s 6’2”? Or that they shrunk Evan to make Nick shorter? Hard to say, really. But if Nick is shorter that means the shortest gal around, Abi/Ariel Winter is EVEN SHORTER because she definitely looks like she’s about a foot shorter than Nick (Ariel is 5’1” IRL).
Didn’t bother with a height line there, you can just see it lmfao. She doesn’t even come up to his shoulder!
Nick is also clearly taller than Jacob. It’s hard to tell in some shots because they’re rarely in exactly the same spot, but here, where Kaitlyn tells them to stand on a line to shoot, you can really see it.
Jacob also tilts his head up when he’s talking to Nick, while Nick looks down or straight ahead.
All of which is just to say that Dylan is at minimum three inches taller than Jacob (their IRL heights) and could be as many as four or five inches if they did in fact make Dylan taller than Miles.
They also made Emma’s height difference with Abi way bigger than it is in real life! Halston is only four inches taller than Ariel but this looks more like six or seven inches to me?
Now, let’s see that with a giant Dylan for scale, since we know he doesn’t fit in the doorframe…
Oops, cut his hand off. Not even the correct hand!
Anyway you get the idea. Dylan Lenivy is real fuckin tall.

COLUMBINE ICEBERG (FINALE)
“Today is not a good day to be here”: The Rebel News was in charge of choosing a slogan for the day, and Erik Veik (a friend of both of the shooters) chose that one. This message was changed and “How can you expect us to be here on a day like this” became the slogan. However, many students recall the event for “Today is not a good day to be here”.
Mr Harris’ journal: Eric was not the only member of the family who kept a journal, his father, Wayne, kept track of Eric’s bad behavior, such as when Eric fought Brooks, or when they found the “secret stash for alcohol”. Despite this, he believes his son is innocent, while Brooks is quite manipulative. There’s another section dedicated to Kevin, this section contains about 2 pages, but the behaviours Kevin displayed seemed to be quite similar to Eric’s.
Brenda Parker: This girl essentially claimed to have had a “relationship” with Eric, she stated she met Eric and Dylan when they followed her and her friend around. She claimed that she talked to Eric on the phone everyday, and they would cruise on his mustang, and that’s all they talked about. She also claimed that she had a picture and a recording of Eric, I think unsurprisingly, it was confirmed by the FBI that were fake. Although, she confirmed later on that she was lying about it.
Klebob’s “A short story”: In February of 1999, Klebob turned this paper for a school assignment. The story is about a left handed tall dude who kills a bunch of college kids. The murderer in the story resembles Dylan quite a lot, and his teacher certainly knew this, so she asked Dylan to talk about the story; Dylan dismissed these concerns. The teacher also contacted the parents, that also ignored the “red flags”
Library CCTV footage: This refers to the myth/ theory that there is footage that contains what happened in the library. However, there is no confirmation of such footage even existing.
Unreleased CCTV footage: Similar theory, stating that there is similar footage of other parts of the high school that contain segments of the tragedy and caught the shooters from different angles.
Bomb CCTV footage: This refers to the footage of the two shooters planting the bombs (it’s in horrible quality but you can make out mostly Eric moving around the cafeteria).
Snapple Bottle Molotov Cocktails: Both shooters threw molotov cocktails in the cafeteria, in an attempt to make their pipe bombs go off.
“I was Mr. Cutter tonight”: On April 15, 1997. Dylan Klebob wrote a journal entry about his self- harm.
Five coffins: It refers to a drawing in Dylan’s journal, he drew 5 coffins. This is one of the most interesting things of the case for me. I made a post on random facts yesterday and I included it again, but Dylan was fascinated with the number 5, obviously the coffins tie into it because he ended up killing 5 people in a shirt that said “wrath” which, according to Dante’s inferno, is the fifth circle of Hell.
Wiped Hard Drive: Dylan did this the day before the massacre, which has led to an insane amount of speculation as to why.
Blue tent: This blue tent is where they kept the bodies of both Eric and Dylan before they got sent to JeffCo for autopsy.
Harris’ cuts: His autopsy revealed that he had “small cluster of punctate lacerations and cuts”. There is a debate on wether or not these cuts were self inflected.
Harris’ recurrent dream: For a class, it was given the option to submit anonymously about a dream they had, Eric detailed a specific scenario he kept dreaming about with Dylan. But, most people knew that this submission came from Eric.
Teenwitch: Album by Bones dedicated to Columbine.
We need to talk about Kevin: fanfic about the massacre.
Bang Bang, you’re dead: a stage play written in the aftermath of the attack, and drawing from the playwright’s own experience with school violence at his child’s school.
Bobby Patterson: Bobby Patterson was someone who committed suicide on April 29th, 1999 and he knew the attackers to some extent.
Columbinus: a show about the massacre.
This post is for educational purposes only.
Hopefully you have enjoyed the "mini- series" on the iceberg. I learned a lot and I hope you did too.
Disclaimer: I did not tackle every single concept within the iceberg. Columbine is such a broad case and plus, not everything is super relevant, so I covered what I think is the most interesting or not-so-obvious of the case.
Disclaimer 2: This post was kindly brought to you by "Restraining Disorder" on youtube and the Columbine subreddit.
Thank you so much for taking the time to interact with the posts, I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Françoise Hardy
Icon of 60s music who sang of love as a source of ‘wretched, profound, endless questioning’
Françoise Hardy, who has died of cancer aged 80, shot to fame as part of France’s génération yé-yé, the jaunty transatlantic and cross-channel collision between French chanson and American rock’n’roll that also produced Johnny Hallyday and France Gall. But from the start, there was something that set her apart: a wistfulness, a sentimental self-reflection, a poise that belied a lifelong shyness and insecurity. A 60s icon, as big, for a while, in London as in Paris, Hardy was, in many ways, the antithesis of that restive, revolutionary decade.
Unlike her contemporaries, when she sang of love it was about “suffering and frustration, illusion and disillusion; wretched, profound, endless questioning”. Her songs, she told Le Monde, were a necessary outlet: “I wrote about my experience … A beautiful, melancholic melody is what best transcends the pain.”
Men fell, in droves, for her timid beauty. Mick Jagger described Hardy as his “ideal woman”. David Bowie, “passionately in love” for years, courted her backstage, in dressing gown and embroidered slippers. In 1964, the sleeve notes of Another Side of Bob Dylan featured a whole poem “for françoise hardy/at the seine’s edge”. (Two years later, after a concert at the Olympia music hall in Paris, Dylan invited the singer to a party in his suite at the George V, one of the capital’s grandest hotels. In his bedroom, he played her two tracks from Blonde on Blonde: Just Like a Woman and I Want You. Hardy always insisted she was so starstruck she never got the message.)
But the love of Hardy’s life, the father of her son and the agonising inspiration for many of her songs, was the French singer and actor Jacques Dutronc, whom she met in 1967 and married in 1981. The couple separated in the 90s, but never divorced, remaining on good terms. “Love is a remarkable force, even if its price is perpetual torment,” she said. “But without that torment, I would not have written a single lyric.”
Hardy was born in Nazi-occupied Paris, in the same maternity clinic at the top of the rue des Martyrs in the ninth arrondissement that had delivered Hallyday a few months earlier. Her mother was Madeleine Hardy, an accountant, and her father, Pierre Dillard, was a company director who was married to another woman. Françoise grew up in a two-room apartment nearby with her sister, Michèle, born 18 months later, and a solitary mother with whom Françoise had a “fusional, symbiotic relationship … I loved her probably too much – exclusively, unconditionally”. The girls rarely saw their father, who often neglected to pay his share of their upkeep and was regularly late with the modest fees for their Catholic education.
Weekends were spent with grandparents – notably an “egocentric, narrow-minded, frigid and emasculating” grandmother – outside Paris; many childhood holidays with friends of her mother’s in Austria, to learn German. Shy, dreamy, deeply ashamed of her unconventional family, Hardy turned to the radio, where in the late 50s, on the English service of Radio Luxembourg, she encountered a music – Presley, the Everly Brothers, Brenda Lee, Cliff Richard – that “affected me more than anything else. That ended up changing my life.”
Aged 16, she asked for a guitar for passing the first part of her baccalauréat. A year later, having passed the second part with honours, she taught herself a handful of chords “that produced most of my songs over the next 10 years”, and began writing. At the Sorbonne, studying German, she auditioned, unsuccessfully but not disastrously, for one record company, and started singing lessons.
Hardy’s contract with Vogue Records – who wanted “a female Johnny Hallyday” – was signed on 14 November 1961. She made her first TV appearance, in black and white on the state broadcaster’s only channel, six months later, and released her debut EP, featuring three songs of her own and a cover of a Bobby Lee Trammell song.
Her breakthrough came, rather incongruously, on the night of Charles de Gaulle’s October 1962 referendum asking voters whether France’s future presidents should be directly elected. In a musical interlude while the nation awaited the result, Hardy performed a track from her EP, Tous les garçons et les filles. The nation loved it. The song (sample line: “I walk down the streets, my soul in sorrow”) became a monumental hit in France, spending a total of 15 weeks at No 1 between October 1962 and April 1963 and becoming a million-seller. Within weeks Hardy was on the cover of Paris Match, plunged, still in her teens, into the whirlwind of the swinging 60s (which she detested: she disapproved of casual sex, avoided drugs, and could only ever remember being drunk twice).
Her first boyfriend, the photographer Jean-Marie Périer, ensured her picture – miniskirt, white boots, long hair, signature fringe – went around the world. Courrèges, Yves Saint Laurent and Paco Rabanne competed to dress her, for seasons at the Olympia in Paris, the Savoy in London, and shows in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Canada and South Africa. In New York, William Klein photographed her for Vogue. Roger Vadim, Jean-Luc Godard and John Frankenheimer cast her in films.
The hits flowed, recorded – some in London, produced by Charles Blackwell – in French, English, German, Italian, some written by Hardy, others not.
But at the end of the 60s, barely five years after she began, Hardy abruptly gave up performing live, and the cinema. “I hated what it all involved,” she explained. “Being separated from the man I loved, the waiting, the solitude, depending on the phone. And I’ve never been able to act. I can’t simulate, or lie. Songwriting, on the other hand … dives deep.” Life in the fast lane, she declared, was “a gilded prison”.
But she continued recording, releasing a dozen bestselling albums in France, of which she always cited La Question (1971), a sophisticated collaboration with the Brazilian musician Tuca, as her favourite. She duetted with French artists Henri Salvador, Alain Souchon and Benjamin Biolay, and later with Damon Albarn and Iggy Pop.
Hardy was never very interested in politics (she decamped to Corsica with Dutronc for the duration of les événements of May 1968, whose student leaders she distrusted), although she had strong opinions about questions such as abortion. Hardy was, however, fascinated by astrology, writing two books on the subject.
She continued to work in later life, despite claiming that her 1988 album, Décalages, would be her last. A string of new recordings in the 1990s and 2000s, a 2008 autobiography, Le Désespoir des Singes (the title apparently derived from a monkey puzzle tree in the Bagatelle gardens near her Paris flat, because its sharp, spiky leaves reminded her of “men who have caused me despair”), and her last album, Personne d’autre, released in 2018, appeared despite family and personal tragedies: Hardy was at her mother’s side when, suffering from Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, she died by euthanasia in 1994.
Hardy herself was diagnosed in 2004 with lymphoma, eventually recovering after an experimental form of chemotherapy – but only after she had been hospitalised, in an induced coma, in 2015. Three years later, another tumour was detected, this time in her ear. In 2021, she told the magazine Femme Actuelle (by email; she said she could no longer talk) that she would like to be able to choose to end her life, as her mother had done, and in 2023, in an interview with Paris Match, called on Emmanuel Macron, the French president, to legalise assisted dying.
Shortly before that second diagnosis, in 2018, Hardy reflected on a career that had brought pretty much every award French music can offer (plus a medal from the Académie Française), telling the Observer she had always been surprised that people – “even very good musicians” – had been moved by her voice.
“I know its limitations, I always have,” she said. “But I have chosen carefully. What a person sings is an expression of what they are. Luckily for me, the most beautiful songs are not happy songs. The songs we remember are the sad, romantic songs.”
She is survived by Dutronc, and by their son, Thomas.

Vogue — Opinion
Team Brenda Forever
By Fiorella Valdesolo
July 15, 2024
Photo: Courtesy Everett Collection
“TV’s brashest 21-year-old talks revealingly about her wild past, her brief engagement, and ‘people who think I’m a bitch,’” the coverline next to a picture of Shannen Doherty reads on a 1992 issue of People magazine. A year later, on another People cover: “Out of Control! These days, Beverly Hills’ hard-partying, check-bouncing bad girl may be going way too far.”
In the ’90s—before a wave of early-aughts tabloids and bloggers like Perez Hilton made a mint lampooning young, female celebrities like Lindsay and Britney and Paris—Shannen Doherty was popular fodder. Drunken nights out, shotgun marriages, fights at the club, court-appointed anger-management classes, and other run-ins with the law were breathlessly chronicled for a celebrity-obsessed public thirsty to see the unraveling of the stars they tuned in to watch every week. Doherty was deemed unhinged, branded a liability. How the media treated her (and Drew Barrymore, too, for that matter) was a template for the years to follow, when such cruelty would become ever more commonplace and, with the dawn of social media, ever more accessible. Doherty was branded a bad girl; she was called difficult, a notoriously loaded term when lobbed at women.
But for teenage me, those were the very labels that made me fiercely love her. They were labels that Brenda Walsh, the character that arguably made Doherty most famous, had already confronted onscreen. When Beverly Hills, 90210 debuted in 1990, I was in junior high and already deeply familiar with Doherty from her roles as Jenny on Little House on the Prairie, Kris Witherspoon (opposite tween dream Chad Allen) on Our House, and as one of the titular mean girls in the seminal 1980s film Heathers. Brenda Walsh (played by a then 19-year-old Doherty) was introduced to audiences as a wide-eyed girl from Minnesota with a stretchy headband, mousy brown hair, and pastel-hued wardrobe who, along with her goody-two-shoes twin brother, Brandon, had been plopped into the decadence and debauchery of LA. “Nobody knows me here—I could be anybody, I could be somebody,” Brenda says to her brother on the show’s first episode as she anxiously considers what to wear on her first day at a school in a city that was definitely not Minneapolis. Beverly Hills, 90210 would dive into taboo topics like AIDS, domestic violence, eating disorders, suicide, and drug abuse, becoming a runaway hit for producer Aaron Spelling. All these years later, the show remains the pinnacle of teen drama, and Brenda its queen. (Let’s face it: The seasons after Spelling booted Doherty from the cast could never measure up, even with the addition of Tiffani Thiessen’s chaos-courting Valerie Malone.)
Photo: Courtesy Everett Collection
Over the course of the four seasons that Doherty was on 90210, Brenda would grow and shift, both in her look (along came the bodysuits, high-waist jeans, endlessly imitated dark brown hair with blunt bangs, and that signature knowing smirk) and her identity. We watched her decide to have sex for the first time (an episode that famously raised conservative eyebrows); contend with a pregnancy scare; fight and make up and break up (to the tune of R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion”) with Dylan; rebel against her parents’ arcane rules; try on new personas (bonjour, Brenda Dubois); get arrested (for protesting animal testing, naturally); and face the aftermath of a best friend’s betrayal. Yet Brenda would also face well-publicized backlash from fans of the show, as people began to conflate the character with Doherty’s off-screen behavior. (There was even a popular ’90s zine called the I Hate Brenda Newsletter.)
Brenda—or was it Shannen?—became the girl people loved to hate. Doherty once said in an interview: “People couldn’t separate me from her, and I got sick of people assuming that I was as naughty and bad as Brenda was. It was all very hurtful.” Though one was fictionalized, they were both up against the complicated pressures of adolescence and wanting to be taken seriously. Both on television and off, Doherty was passionate, she was intense, she was straightforward, she was self-assured, and for all these reasons, she was dismissed and poorly regarded. For those of us navigating our own coming of age, and simultaneously facing harsh judgment from our families and peers, we saw ourselves in Brenda—and, in turn, in Shannen. I know I did.
When the news broke this week that Doherty had died from cancer, prompting an outpouring of social media tributes and Instagram messages from saddened friends, I saw that others felt the same way. Part of the sadness seemed to come from how hard Doherty had fought to live; she’d recently shared on her excellent and refreshingly candid podcast Let’s Be Clear how hopeful she felt about a new course of chemotherapy.
But for many of my fellow Gen X’ers and older millennials, we’d also lost a part of ourselves. We loved Shannen Doherty, we idolized her, but most of all, at some point, we saw ourselves in a version of her. We were all a little wild once; we were all a little difficult. We were all a little Brenda.

Too Late
Brief Description: Y/n has always held the heart of Minho, since the very first day they met. He couldn't say anything because his focus while they were in the glade was getting out, then it was surviving, and now that they're in the Safe Haven, it's a matter of building up his courage to ask her out. However, his fear of rejection has held him back for so long, maybe too long.
Point of View: 1st Person
Word Count: 1158
Character: Minho (TMR) x Reader
Y/n and Minho. Minho and Y/n. One had never been without the other. They were inseparable, joined at the hip. They completed one another.
And while both of them knew this, both of them were too scared to say anything. Too scared to fall even more in love and have one of them die. Too scared to share their feelings because they needed to be surviving. So they just went along their days pretending that they're heart didn't beat solely for the other.
Minho promised himself that he'd tell her the second he knew that they were safe, that they'd never have to worry about a Griever sneaking up on them, or a Crank coming around the corner. He promised.
However, when they reached the Safe Haven Minho was still too scared to say anything, too scared that she wouldn't feel the same, too scared that he'd ruin their friendship. He'd rather suffer with his feelings and still be her friend than ruin everything that's happened between the two of them in the last three-ish years. He loved her. He really did. And everyone (aside from Y/n) could see that.
He survived the Glade for her. Had a reason to run through that maze, it was her. He survived the scorch. Had a reason to push through that pain the lightning strike gave him, it was her. He survived their adventures in the Last City. Had a reason to go until the very end, it was her. He had a reason to keep going when Newt died, it was her (and Thomas and the others of course).
And God, did she love him too.
After she was done with her work for the day, she would sit by the Doors until Minho came through, immediately going over to hug him tight even if he reeked of sweat. Whenever he had a day off she tried to always be near him, even though she got told off by her Keeper, Newt, and Alby many times. Throughout the scorch she stuck by his side, just like she stayed with him throughout the last journey. Together they helped each other with the death of one of their closest friends.
But after a while, Y/n started thinking that maybe Minho didn't like her back like everyone said. And maybe he wasn't scared to tell her his feelings, maybe he just didn't have any. And after a while Y/n became hopeless that her and Minho would ever really be a thing. So, after a while she started to try and get over her own feelings towards Minho, all while Minho was trying to finally ask her.
And then, before Minho could ever expect it, Y/n was introducing her boyfriend to him, Thomas, Gally, Brenda, and the others. Some guy named Dylan.
Dylan was sweet. He was kind, thoughtful, caring, funny, strong, handsome, smart, anything you could want in a guy. Of course, everyone liked him, but something about him made Minho's blood boil.
––––––––––
A few months later Minho watched them laugh together over something Dylan said, his heart breaking with every beat that Y/n wasn't in his arms.
He had the chance it was in the palm of his hand, the chance to admit how she helped him through everything he's ever been through. That he loved her with his whole heart, his entire being, with everything he had, everything he is, and everything he will be. But he didn't take the chance, he didn't take the damn chance because he was too scared, even though everyone was telling him that she loved him too.
He had the most dangerous job in the Glade, and he did it every day thinking nothing of it. Yet somehow, somehow, he found that being rejected was scarier than a Griever, a shucking Griever.
So he watched them, watched Y/n fall deeper in love with Dylan, as day by day he felt deeper in love with her. And it fucking hurt.
He had the chance, he really did, but his cowardice blew it. So now he watched Dylan throw his arm around Y/n's shoulders and press a loving kiss to her cheek, and he wished with all his might that he could be in Dylan's place.
"Hey, Minho," a voice from his side said, sitting down beside him.
Minho didn't even have to look to know it was Thomas.
"You alright, man?" Thomas asked, his eyebrows furrowing into concern as he saw Minho's expression. "You look ... I don't know ... defeated? Angry? Sad?"
"It's nothing," Minho brushed off with a shrug of his shoulders. He didn't want to talk about it. He hated even thinking about it.
Obviously, Thomas didn't believe him for a second. He followed Minho's gaze, to where he was gazing at and saw Y/n and Dylan cuddled up together, realizing immediately why Minho looked so upset.
"It's Y/n and Dylan, isn't it?" Thomas's voice dripped with sympathy as he asked Minho gently, not wanting to further upset him.
Minho glanced over at Thomas, sighing. He would never get Y/n, so what was the point in lying? He nodded.
"I'm sorry, Minho," Thomas said, patting his best friend's back sympathetically.
Minho looked down at the ground, trying to hold back tears as he ranted, "I want to be him so bad, Thomas. I just want to hold her like he does. I want her to look at me like she looks at him. I want to be her first thought in the morning. I want her to think of me when she's going to sleep. I want to be him! I can't believe I let her get away. Why didn't I just get over my stupid little fear and ask her? That could've been me, Thomas. That could've been me."
Thomas's heart sank at Minho's words, hearing the pain in his voice as he spoke.
"I know it hurts, Minho, but it's not going to hurt forever," Thomas tried to comfort him. "Life is full of disappointments and some hurt worse than others. But the thing is, you can't stay on that disappointment, otherwise it's going to take over you and you'll never be able to see the joy in other things. It's okay for you to be hurt over this, no one is going to tell you otherwise. But sometimes ... sometimes you need to move on."
"How?" Minho whispered. "She's what I've been living for ever since I got to the Glade. All of my memories are of her. How can I just 'get over her'?"
Thomas sighed, looking towards Y/n and Dylan before looking back to Minho.
"I don't know, Minho," he admitted. "But one day, I promise you, it will hurt less."
Minho looked up from the ground, looking longingly over at Y/n and Dylan. What he wouldn't do to be in his place.
"Yeah, I hope so."

bren gets called every b name in the book
brenbren, brenny, b, baby, booby, bren, brendan if you’re really mad, and sometimes bitch
i agree, every single nickname that starts with B is his
(like dylan) you use his full name once, not thinking anything of it, & he gets so offended & worried that he did something wrong
-
"brendan, could you bring me my water please?"
brendans eyes immediately dart up from his phone, whole body going tense.
"what did you say?"
"i said could you bring me my water ple-"
he cut you off. "no no. before that. what did you say?"
you turn around in your desk chair, giving him a confused look.
"you said brendan." he almost whispered.
"is that not your name?" you asked, laughing.
"not to you it isn't. it's bren. or brenny. or bren bren. or b. or baby. or bubba. or even brenda. but it isn't brendan. what did i do? did i do something wrong? was it something i said?" he frantically asks.
you couldn't hold in your laughter at your boyfriends paranoia of the use of his full first name.
"you didn't do anything baby, it just slipped i guess. don't worry."
brendan grabbed your water from your nightstand, bringing it over to you before wrapping his arms around your shoulders.
"brenda does worry, shnookums."

Brenda Walsh is such a cold-hearted villainess in the first year of the college years - I have zero sympathy for her re-watching this for the thousandth time. Like she really shit talked Kelly for having a mother and boyfriend who are recovering alcoholics and is jealous that she has actual trauma in her life to use to for their play auditions.
What kills me watching now in 2024 is the utter absence of cancel culture and how every episode is about making mistakes and learning from it. Everyone is screwing up and doing the wrong thing, saying the wrong thing, making egregious errors, lol, and calling each other out and getting a second chance. Maybe that was the most unrealistic thing about it all, even then.
Anyway, I'm so biased and always Team Kelly it's hard not to hate Brenda. Kelly drops out of the play because Dylan and Brenda basically convince her she's doing it just because Brenda wants the part, when the role is Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and the director acknowledges that Kelly is a natural because of trauma and life experience and is giving the best performance. Imagine being a natural at something and your boyfriend and best friend are like, guilting you out of pursuing an unexpected opportunity. Evil.
AND. Brenda chokes at her audition, messing it up, and since she knew she blew it, goes to the director's house at night sleep with him for the part. 💀

I was about 7 years old when I first watched 90210. Brenda was everything to me. Brenda/Dylan were pretty much my first OTP, even before that term existed probably. I was still a little kid when Kelly and Dylan cheated on her and I seriously believe that really impacted my view on relationships.
That show and what was said about Shannen when she was fired are some of my earliest memories.
And from that moment on, up until her last-released podcast episode, she's never left my life.
Charmed was the first fandom I was involved in. The first website I created. My first online friends that weren't just online for long. And Prue, of course, was a huge part of that. Prue and Piper. Their relationship on and off screen. I just loved them so. The episodes she directed on that show were some of my favorites. Very few episodes in history made me feel what All Hell Breaks Loose did.
She didn't change my life because there was not much to change before her. She was one of the artists who shaped me.
My heart is broken for the loss of such a force of nature, such a talented person, for a person who seemed so genuinely good, and for the things that I will not selfishly get to watch/hear. But it breaks even more when I think about people like her mom, Holly and SMG.
Thank you, Shannen, for absolutely everything.

Can we just talk about Kaitlyn’s response to kissing Ryan for one second? (You know, not that we do that perverted het shit in this house /j)
Now if you’ve only ever made the correct choice kissed Dylan, you could be forgiven for thinking Kaitlyn is pretty into Ryan. She looks a little pouty about not being chosen here.
[Also oh my god she’s so tiny the beer bottle is huge in her little Barbie hand I want to squish her 😍]
This is right after the “shall we?” She doesn’t look unhappy… but she looks a little trepidatious. She does not look like she’s won the kissing Ryan Erzahler lottery.
Is it because Dylan’s giving her a real cunty side-eye? Hard to say.
[Look, they're besties and he'd literally die for her, but he's thinking about cutting a bitch right now.]
Pre-kiss. Does she look excited about this? She kinda looks dead inside to me.
[Why does she look like she’s thinking, did I leave the oven on?]
Immediately after…
Does… does she look pleased to you, my guy? She kinda looks like she just realized she doesn’t actually like men disappointed to me.
She kind of cringe smiles at this line. You would, right?
I just really want to know what kind of direction they gave Brenda here because my girl is NOT happy. There’s, like, a silent ‘ugh’ in this face! And we don’t know why! Is it because she’s worried about Dylan’s feelings? She didn’t seem that worried about him before the actual kiss. Is it because of the awkward silence that accompanied it? It’s not like she knows everyone would have cheered if he picked Dylan, only we know that.
Then she sits down and…
Well, guess that happened.
She looks significantly happier about Dylan kissing her supposed crush.
She could just be putting on a brave face for her friends, but Dylan can’t even see her yet and she’s already smiling.
And, of course, the game further affirms this because we don’t get the ‘disappointed’ chyron regarding Kaitlyn if Dylan is chosen instead.
So, I totally respect everyone’s right to ship them as a throuple, but when people say SMG should have just made them a canon throuple in the game I have to disagree, unless they were going to fundamentally change the characters and their reactions to each other in order to do it. (Other than Kaitlyn’s reactions here, writer/director Will Byles says Dylan is gay, not bisuxal, and we know he’s canonically pretty jealous.) And that’s not just my compulsory monogamy speaking, I actually think Nick/Abi/Emma would be a perfectly workable throuple and I’m surprised more people don’t write them that way.
But mainly I think Kaitlyn just… really isn’t that into Ryan. And I do wish we got more insight into her character on this topic and just in general. Is it because she knows Dylan likes him more than she does? Is it because she’s actually a lesbian suffering under comphet (or completely aro/ace and just not accepting it) and she had to tell Jacob something when he asked who she thought the hottest person at camp was, so she picked the brooding loner who never talks to anyone because that seemed safe? Is she secretly harboring feelings for Jacob and that’s why she’s so hard on her childhood friend about his relationship with Emma?? There’s just no way to know.
#the quarry#I love Kaitlyn very much but she is an enigma#is she a lesbian is she asexual is she in love with her oldest friend I DON’T KNOW#does she only have eyes for her beloved stick?#someone tell me the answers!!!#imagine if Ryan kisses her and she gives him this look and then he tells Laura ‘she has the hots for me’ lmfao#sir. no she does not#more proof Ryan is autistic and can’t interpret facial expressions#kaitlyn ka#ryan erzahler#dylan lenivy#bonfire trio#I love these three the most by a wide margin#bunny blathers#overly in depth analysis

I'd love to hear your top 7-10 OTPs! I'm guessing Leyton and Delena are both on the list?
Hello! I'm reusing my answer from an old post for this because I am proud of it. :)
Brenda and Dylan (Beverly Hills 90210) - As I have said before, I love Shannen Doherty. This show is the reason why. Brenda was my favorite character from day one, and her romance with Dylan was so intense and epic. This one has to be the first time an emotionally damaged character stole my heart. He needed her screaming and crying at him to understand that someone loves him because no one did until then. She needed his recklessness to temper her own. They grounded each other with their love.
Buffy and Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - Watching these two fall in love and be unable to resist it was so much fun. They were actually doomed from the start. I mean…a vampire and a vampire slayer…that has tragedy written all over it. She literally killed him, and he came back from a Hell world (sounds familiar). Then, they fell right back in love (hmm, also familiar). They loved so hard, and their world was always in peril, which kept the angst level pretty high. For years, Angel wallowed in the torment of guilt that his soul provided. She gave him a purpose…her purpose. Her entire reason for being was to save people. She made him want to do that, too. He made her realize that not all monsters are evil and not all “good” guys are good. In my mind, they found their way back to each other and lived happily ever after.
Willow and Tara (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - These two had the most beautiful and sweet love, and I am bitter that the idiot writer killed off Tara. Shy, bookish Willow really grew into a powerful and strong witch because of this relationship. She could fully be herself, and it was amazing. Tara, sweet Tara, was so kind and compassionate. She held Willow accountable in her magic, which turned out to be pretty important. I won’t even get into the fact that at this time, there was very little LGBTQ representation on television. Yep, I’m still angry.
Pacey and Joey (Dawson’s Creek) - Dawson’s Creek is my comfort show. I watch it all the way through several times a year. There is nothing that soothes me like it does. When this show aired, there was nothing more enjoyable than watching Pacey and Joey fall for each other against their own wishes. Pacey knew first, and he tried not to act on it for the sake of their friend Dawson (I won’t go into how annoyed that makes me given that Dawson didn’t want her.). Joey fought it with everything she had for the same reason and also because it was so real that it scared the hell out of her. He pushed her to grow and become the person she was meant to be, and she accepted him as is without any expectations other than they would do it together. They had the best dynamic. They bickered and laughed and cried, but they worked at their relationship like you do in grown-up relationships. Even when they broke up, they cared about each other consistently. My favorite episode is when they get stuck in K-Mart overnight. Joyously, they were also endgame.
Max and Liz (OG Roswell and Roswell, New Mexico) - By now, I have established that I love intense love. That’s exactly what og Max and Liz had. Liz was very structured and academically driven. Max was very closed off from everyone including Michael and Isabel. He opened her mind and heart to possibility. She made him feel and be open about it. They loved so intensely that even supposed alien fate couldn’t keep them apart. I was so sad the show was canceled so soon, but I am eternally grateful that they were endgame and that I got to see it. They sort of switched the emotional roles of new Max and Liz, which I like. They would still do anything for each other, so they are still my OTP. Admittedly, I haven’t watched the last season because I’m sad about it being the last.
Peyton and Lucas (One Tree Hill) - Look, they were always drawn to each other, but their timing was awful. I loved how no matter what, they were there for each other, even if it was just as friends. Peyton was the broken one in this relationship. She lost too much at too young an age. Feeling so deeply terrified her. And let’s face it, Lucas was intense. He felt everything and didn’t shy away from it. It was immensely gratifying to see them finally be happy together.
Logan and Veronica (Veronica Mars) - Logan was a real ass at the beginning of this show, and they were full-on enemies. So, I can honestly say I did not ship them at first. The metamorphosis that Logan goes through to be a better man is truly remarkable. To be fair, they both have emotional damage in this one. Veronica copes with her losses by saving others, but her love for Logan scares her. They both had to work out their own stuff before they could successfully be together. Thankfully, we got to see that they made it. I have no comment about the killing of my beloved Logan.
Damon and Elena (The Vampire Diaries) - Anyone that follows me knows that these two are my current obsession. Damon has literally spent over a century and a half being abandoned and rejected by his father, mother, brother, and love. To say that I love him is the understatement of the century. He had no intention of falling in love with Elena. He wanted to save Katherine, and her rejection nearly killed him. He feels everything so much that he can’t cope, and then he snaps. Elena saves him. Period. She makes him feel human because she treats him like one. She expects him to care and makes him want to do better. And he does, starting with her. He loves her so much that it is palpable. Damon makes her look at herself and the world differently. He pushes her to be and accept her true self no matter who that is or who she is with. I am elated that they got their long and happy human life together.
Clary and Jace (Shadowhunters) - I love Jace with every fiber of my being. I just want him to have love and happiness. He did not get that deserved love from his parents, and he never felt like he deserved it after that. Clary brought him to life. She was caring and compassionate for everyone: mundane, shadowhunter, or downworlder. Loving her opened Jace’s heart to everything. I choose to believe that the ending we got means they find their way back to each other and live happily ever after. I know I could finish the books, but I honestly cannot read Cassandra Clare’s writing anymore. Besides, where they are in my mind is good for me.
Magnus and Alec (Shadowhunters) - Magnus is one of my favorite characters ever. He’s loved many times over the centuries he’s lived, but what he has with Alec is so much more. Like all shadowhunters, Alec doesn’t trust downworlders, but for him, it’s more than that. He believes he has a duty to his family, and being with Magnus flies in the face of that duty. Magnus not so subtly or easily pushes past Alec’s defenses. Once they get together, they make each other better, and it’s literally magical. Their wedding was everything I could have hoped for as far as endgame goes.

Are there any love triangles where you prefer the Damon over the Stefan?
Uh, OK thinking about Damon conceptually, I guess Barney would be considered the Damon in the Barney/Robin/Ted Triangle and I preferred Barney and Robin.
Pandie is my Dawson's Creek OTP and I wrote a whole meta about how Pjo is actually Stelena rather than Delena but that was before my most recent rewatch and after that rewatch, I have more complicated views about Pjo but this is all to say, that generally speaking Pacey is considered the Damon in the Pacey/Joey/Dawson triangle and I prefer Pacey, so.
Vince would probably be considered the Damon in the Vince/Jess/Landry triangle and I preferred Vince.
I think Jake would probably be considered the Damon in the Jake/Olivia/Fitz triangle and I preferred Jake.
I'm not getting into this one, I deleted all my posts about this series but I would think Gale in the Gale/Katniss/Peeta triangle would be considered the Damon and I preferred Gale.
Kelly would be considered the Damon in the Kelly/Dylan/Brenda triangle and for this one, I do wish I liked Brenda and Dylan more but Kelly and Dylan won me over even though what they did to Brenda was awful.
For younger Zal: I guess Jacob would be considered the Damon and I was Team Jacob, you know, before he imprinted on her fetus.

I’m a sucker for bad boy x good girl tropes! So here’s a few (some spoilers!):
Jackie x Hyde (That 70s Show)- very obvious
Rory x Jess (Gilmore Girls)- I WISH THEY WERE END GAME!!! I always thought Jess (or Logan) was the best for Rory. Jess had my heart from the beginning, it obviously helped that he was a pretty boy, but Jess was always gentle with Rory and had an academia side that he didn’t show because it would ruin his bad boy image
John B x Sarah (Outer Banks)- CANNOT GER ENOUGH OF THESE TWO! Their chemistry is amazing. Typical poor, bad boy and rich, good girl trope! Just a chef’s kiss
Brenda x Dylan (90210)- Dylan is so misunderstood and has a very dark past but when Brenda comes in, he changes for the better. I love how Brenda accepts him and helps him through his alcoholism and abandonment issues. When Brenda’s parents tried to split them up and they eventually parted ways, I cried like a baby
Blair x Chuck (Gossip Girl)- obviously Chuck isn’t your typical bad boy because of his nice upbringing but he does love blackmailing people and making people’s lives difficult lol! He loved seeing people’s lives fall to flames but Blair changed that. Blair also had some icky tendencies, even though she presents herself like an angel. But Blair melts Chuck’s tough exterior and bring out the good guy in him
Haley x Nathan (One Tree Hill)- OK HEAR ME OUT: Nathan isn’t a typical bad boy but he has his tendencies and isn’t very focused on academics! He has Haley tutor her. I really believe they brought out the best in each other and even got through a teen pregnancy together
Emma x Spinner (Degrassi Next Gen)- love how they didn’t get together in high school but ended up together after that fated night :)
Claire x John (The Breakfast Club)- touched on this last night. Their relationship disgusts me a bit though in the movie because John treats her terribly (don’t get me started on the scene where John is under Claire’s table and puts his head between her legs). I like to be optimistic and believe that after the movie, John was better to her now that they were something. I love the end of the movie where Claire gives him her earring and he puts it in his own ear! Fun fact: the famous walkout scene where John is on the football field was filmed at my high school (along with some other scenes!)
Rapunzel x Flynn (Tangled)- another typical bad boy, good girl trope! I love when he takes her to see the lights!!
Sandy x Danny (Grease)- Jackie would eat this up for sure
Jane x Richie (Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies)- I love how Jane was like the leader of the Pink Ladies until a rumor and after she met Richie (leader of the T-Birds), she stood up for herself because he gave her courage
Belle x The Beast (Beauty and the Beast)- I just love them so much. It’s such a typical trope… the Beast has a soft spot for her after years of being a “hideous beast” and they start to love each other. This was my favorite princess movie as a kid
