i need to rewatch veronica mars again. i miss her. i wish there were more shows like that. the show’s depiction of women was far from perfect but the writing for veronica mars and lilly kane was genuinely great and they remain some of the best written female characters ive seen. honestly the depiction of lilly kane is genuinely one of the most impressive things about this show the way they portrayed her as a fairly realistic self-centred teenager who did dumb things but still had empathy for her and the narrative never once judged her or blamed her for her murder.

#veronica mars #veronica too was such a great character #like she was tough and smart and was allowed to be angry and grieve for lilly and the way her life used to be #and was just nosy teenage girl poking her nose where she wasnt supposed to and pissing off authority figures #plus after seeing the way woman who have stood up against abuse this past year have been treated #lilly's character and the way she was treated with such sympathy and care feels like such a relief #like the writing for the show wasnt perfect and the mysteries weren't always do or die #and sometimes could have been written better #and season 3 was just 😬 at times #she definitely reminds me of nancy drew despite the totally different genres and tone of the story #but like nancy drew the mysterys were pretty fun and they both had dads who were private investigators #and there was variation in each mystery #i fully blame nancy drew for my love of mysteries and girl detectives and general nosiness
