"look what the guy who doesn't live by a schedule ends up doing on a saturday night: talking to his girlfriend's mother" so condescending yet she didn't act like that every time dean came crying to her about rory lol i hate it

Do you think Chuck was an alcoholic? I could see him ending up in rehab at some point. I can also see he and Blair cheating each other---they're both the most immoral people on the planet, but I also think they'd eventually forgive each other

hi!! so truthfully I absolutely can't see either happening sorry 😭😭 chuck was always more of a drug addict than an alcoholic, although he drinks scotch on an daily basis it doesn't seem to be a problem for him unless he's spiralling and he doesn't really exhibit any signs of being an alcoholic. he turns to cocaine and other drugs when he spirals, although like serena he doesn't seem to have a cocaine addiction rather they use it when they feel things are going wrong. I think in terms of rehab if gg were real then obviously both serena and chuck would've probably had to go to rehab at some point as you can't really casually take cocaine, but it's not and after s5 neither are shown to be taking drugs (aside from chuck and nate smoking weed recreationally) so they're both not depending on drugs at all. to me chuck's version of rehab was in s5 where he goes to therapy and actively tries to improve himself, so I can't see him ending up in rehab after everything he did, and especially not now he's a father

to your other point there's absolutely no way chuck and blair would cheat on each other, and the show proved it. blair cheats on every bf she has either emotionally or physically with chuck, never on him. in s3 and s6 they're in a committed monogamous relationship (their games are the closest they get to infidelity but the rule is specifically that chuck doesn't kiss the women and blair was the one who actually came up with the games so she obviously doesn't see it as cheating) and blair canonically doesn't love any man more than she loves chuck, so she couldn't cheat on him as there's no-one she could be more attracted to or want to be with. for chuck it's basically the same, when they date in s3 he's nothing but loyal and committed and it's the same with eva and raina. there's never any real concern that he'll cheat on her, he even says that in 3x15. despite them both having dark sides and being morally dubious, that doesn't extend to the way they treat each other by the end of the show. they're both deeply in love with the other and would never risk their marriage because there's no-one worth risking it for

your tags on that 3x15 post - remember how blair was like “idgaf if you sexually assaulted other women, i ❤️ u 🥺”. her singing “stand by your man” when she was drunk at karaoke was truly on the nose

Okay I just looked at the transcript and it’s even worse than that:

“Several female employees at the Empire are suing me for sexual harassment. Obviously there were incidents with room service at the Palace, but that was my father’s hotel. I was a kid. I would never do that now, not in my hotel, not to you.”

“No. Of course not. They’re scheming harlots trying to get you to pay them.”

I - what the fuck?!?!?! First of all, Chuck confirmed in his own words that he’s sexual harasser (although we already know he sexual assaults since we literally saw it on screen). So he clearly knows he did wrong but thinks it doesn’t count cause what? He was a “kid” (cough sixteen is more than old enough to know about consent cough) and he wasn’t technically their boss? Which like…your father still owned the hotel!!! Surely, they felt pressure and it was a dubious consent situation because of that.

And the not to you line…god it’s so awful. (First of all, I don’t think it’s a stretch that Chuck was initially going to do that to Blair in 420 with the way he was pushing her down…) But also, I’ll just leave this quote here for what I think just needs to be required reading on my blog at this point lol:

“What went mostly unsaid was that Chuck’s backstory as an attempted rapist actually made his tryst with Blair more compelling than it would have been otherwise. “Are you sure?” he asks her after she kisses him, in a moment that both recalls Chuck’s history of sexual assault and establishes that it matters to him that this particular encounter be consensual. For the viewer identifying with Blair, the pleasure of this scene comes from the idea that Blair is so special that Chuck does not want to rape her — and by extension, that the women who Chuck did want to rape are worth less than Blair. In real life, no rape victim is worthless, but the “Are you sure” moment depends in large part on a subliminal fallacy, instilled by rape culture, that victims of sexual assault have been degraded somehow.”

And then of course, Blair dismissing the accusers so callously, when we KNOW she’s always been well aware of who Chuck is. (Chuck brags about his conquest, not his victims.”) Thanks, I hate it.

Truly one of the most disgusting GG plot lines (and that’s saying something.) The writers really, really hated women.

[natexserena]

do you have any scenes of nate & serena you wish we got in s3 when they were together? because i always wish we got to see more of them just on dates & a mutual i love you scene

oh, for sure!

i would like a PROPER build up into their relationship. what happened after the hospital? what were they texting about? how did serena address the “hey i left you when you asked me to stay but i am here now” situation? the holidays! what happened in the holidays? how exactly did we get to that point in 3.13 where she was so happy to see him and couldn’t resist and kissed him?

wouldn’t change anything between 3x13-3x15. but then i don’t like how jenny was introduced in their storyline for no reason. see that’s the thing with GG, they never let a couple breathe (except for ds in s1 i guess), they always had a “outside threat”. anyway, from 3x15 ahead, they were seen as the golden couple, the perfect couple. so i would’ve like to see them just being that? going to things together, clubbing, parties in columbia, parties in nyu with dan and vanessa, sleepovers at the empire, awkward breakfasts at th waldorfs, nate sitting down with the van der humphreys for lunch. i would like to see her taking him shopping. going to galas and looking amazing. her visiting his dad in jail with him. some vulnerability from both sides.

she mentioned that she and nate weren’t afraid of “trying new things” in bed too so i would’ve liked to see it 🌚

serena apparently attended all of nate’s lacrosse game to cheer him on so i would’ve LOVED to see that. and also them studying together for finals, being cute overall.

also some late night talks with darkest secrets being shared.

i wanted blair and serena to moveout from the waldorfs and i would’ve loved to see them making nate their personal assistent lol.

Face/Off (1997)

Date Watched: 24th June 2020

Referenced in: 3x15

Rating:  ★★★★★  

I started watching this expecting it to be boring and shite, especially cause the premise is pretty crazy... but within the first 10minutes I was hooked! Nicholas Cage as Castor was so cool and crazy at the beginning and I think both actors did the swap really well - I never forgot that they had changed. It was very action packed and the twists and turns kept me glued to the screen. Incredible stunts too - The boat scene was unreal! Pleasently surprised. Easy 5 stars

[backtothestart02]

This is just me (And maybe some people might feel the same), but I feel that if the haters got their way and CP gets fired/Iris leaves the show, GG would follow suit. He loves WA and he even mentioned that he doesn't want drama just for the sake of it (3x15 and 3x16 comes to mind, even though I loved that Barry sang to Iris in the following episode and all was right with the world again).

I mean...idk. He is quite literally the STAR OF THE SHOW. I know he said it’s more of an ensemble now and he doesn’t carry it on his own, but I do feel like he’d stick around. He might not act as well b/c he wouldn’t like the fact that his epic romance was out of the picture, but I don’t think he’d quit. If nothing else, it’s a steady job. It’s not exactly like he’s gotten good work during the hiatuses. Just having all the time in the world wouldn’t necessarily change that.

Good thing they won’t ever fire Candice though, and so we never have to worry about it. Lol.

[autumnrory]

face off has such a great opening - jess and rory being cute, luke making fun of taylor, etc - and then it just ends up so disappointing

Thoughts on the whole Blair and Jack thing?

hi!! I meant to answer this after I finished the s3 chair outfits sorry 😭😭 so my simple answer is that I kinda hate it sksfjsk but I'll explain why so to start with I always found the fact that blair slept with jack during s2 so out of character. I get that she was meant to be upset that chuck left (and drunk??) but by that point blair's only slept with 2 people and I just can't imagine her finding comfort in sleeping with chuck's older uncle as a teenage girl. even in a grief infused state where maybe she thought it would be like sleeping with chuck I just don't think, based on her character, she would do it. ik she kisses random older guys like in 1x05 so even if they said she'd kissed jack and immediately regretted it I could believe that more, but the idea that she then had sex with him doesn't make sense to me. I understand that, at it's core, it was a decision for the drama, to create conflict between chuck and blair and also be able to come back later on in s3. but from a character perspective it's... icky. I do feel like the hotel incident in s3 allowed it to have slightly more depth, as it was clear chuck had never quite gotten over it as much as he said (him watching blair and jack in 3x15 suggests that he still feels there's something lingering between them which is why he's so distraught at the thought of them sleeping together again) and it became clear that it was part of the whole trust issue they both needed to work on. ultimately though I think it was a plot point that was mostly for shock and drama value bc that's the kind of show gg is (think the convenient shard of glass cutting blair's cheek or bart coming back) but there wasn't really any thought for what it meant for blair as a character to me bc it doesn't really fit with her personality or be something she would even entertain the possibility of, let alone do

Barry gonna stay with Cisco and give iris some space and himself some time to gather his thoughts because he's losing his mind BUT both of them love each more tha anything! People be out here thinking that after BOTH iris and barry have gotten a taste of life together, thy just gonna give up? My guess is by th end of ep 17 (running home to you?) Barry gonna realize that he won't trying to save iris but that he loves her so much and he wants to come back home! Iris and Barry are one soul.

Precisely! I think they’ll be in a good place again after the musical.

GG came through for WA. He confirmed what we already knew B+I love each other more than anything. Things are rocky now, but their love will pull them through. To me that signals that he'll be back home by the end of 217. (Even if he's on his own couch). The proposal WAS beautiful. And the new one even more. I love that part of the article where he says, B+I have to trust their love, and be brave enough to believe in the relationship. No wonder Matt was teary-eyed. WA is borderline perfect 👌🏽

You and I are of one mind! I still think the song literally called “Runnin’ Home To You” literally signals that Barry will... run home to Iris, lmao.

And I love that Grant said about Westallen. It’s super sweet and he clearly enjoys playing that relationship at lot - he knows it’s what Barry wants.

I need a face cradle in 316 or at least a WA reunion hug. Give it to me Flash writers.

Oh, I have faith it’ll happen. I think Barry will forget himself for a moment when he returns from the speedforce, he and Iris will hug or more... And then his petty, butthurt self will be like “Welp! I’m staying with Cisco!”

Tati, I think things will definitely be on the mend by the end of the crossover episode for WA and KaraMel 🙄 Hopefully, Iris is standing next to him, holding his hand when he comes out of the coma. To assuage people who complained that she wasn't by his side after he fought Zoom. Despite the fact that she was lied to about Barry's motives to propose, her brother was trapped in the SF and he seemingly did nothing to stop it. And she's going to have to try and console Joe, Jesse and herself.

Absolutely. I think the musical will rearrange some things in Barry’s mind, haha, and make him not want to waste time.

People were throwing a lot of shade at Barry for not running to save Wally, but imo it's completely consistant with his MO. When Henry was killed, Iris was killed, Joe tried to commit suicide, etc., Barry also stood there--trying to observe, trying to negotiate. I think, when his family is in real, immediate danger, he honestly (for a second) forgets he's the Flash--he tries to save them as Barry Allen would have before he got powers.

Aww, I think that’s a really good way to look at it. He reverts back to “helpless” instead of thinking like a superhero. Baby!

At the end of 315 Traitor Snow apologizes to Benedict Barry (not Iris, Julian or the team 🙄) and said she was scared, Barry tells her that fear makes us do things we shouldn't. His fear is the reason for all this. Do you think fear is why he hesitated to help Wally when he was being sucked into the SF? B+C both need to try and redeem themselves. Barry's going into the SF to get Wally. What do you think Caitlin will do? Will whatever she does be the thing that leads to the headline KF at large?

Maybe Caitlin will redeem herself by trying to use her powers for good again, and that’s how she gets injured in 3.18? 

I told many bloggers this, but I have an angsty headcanon where Barry thinks he's too late in saving Iris (Savitar still hurt her, but barely). He holds onto her, cradling her face and rocking back and forth like we saw in 3x15. Others try to get him to leave to go after Savitar and he shouts "Leave me alone!" He's sobbing like hell, going "Iris. Please don't leave me!" Then he suddenly hears "I'm not going anywhere". He looks down, seeing her eyes open.

About that physical separation in 3x16 and 3x17, that will probably give Iris more time to speak up. I hope so, because we were blessed to hear a shit ton of her POV last episode. The show tends to have three or four plots on an episode where they're not as big as the season premiere, mid-season and finale.

This is exactly what I’m hoping for. Let Iris do her own thing in 16 & 17 so we see her place on the show as we always should, and let her speak out about her feelings to Joe/Wally/etc.

I have a theory. it seems that grant unfollowed violette? we don't know why that had to happen because i read that someone said that it was because violette isn't going to be on the show anymore but even if so, shantel (patty spivot from the flash) isn't on the show anymore but grant still follows her so it's clearly not about violette "leaving soon" but it's something else.

So why do you think Grant unfollowed Violett?

[missspecter]

Even GG was disappointed with the way 3x15 went down. Barry's not going to be on Cisco's couch for long though. He was so heartbroken when he saw that Iris didn't have on the ring. She'll be at his bedside when he wakes up out of the coma at the end of the musical episode. I'm just worried that the minute Barry, Iris and the team feel safe again, things are going to go crazy. Joe will be in danger, Iris is going to get kidnapped. Killer Frost will be on the lose, Julian will be Alchemy again

Yeah, you can feel it in his answer. He seemed really excited about the proposal, I liked how he talked about it, and then he was probably disappointed when he read the script for 3x15. I RELATE.

Yup, after the musical crossover, the show will go back on focusing on Savitar, in preparation for the finale as well. Shit will go DOWN. Ion care about CS or Julian but I’m REALLY scared for Joe :/
