When someone is overall selfish and a bad person it stands out when they do something good once in a while, whereas if someone is overall a good person it stands out when they make a mistake. That's why people prefer the asshole characters over the nice characters. It also works like this in real life where when someone is a notorious asshole, other people around him are often told to be "the bigger person"- kind of like Donna is repeatedly with Jackie and Serena is with Blair

The reply I was typing got taken off 😭😭😭😭

I definitely agree and it’s very annoying how a kind yet flawed character is depicted as ‘fake’ but when a character who are mean 98% of the time is considered ‘iconic’. Like they’re allowed to be as mean as they want but god forbid a kind character make a few mistakes and they’re the villain.

Like here. Jackie literally starts off being a dillhole but her stans act like DONNA is the bad guy for retaliating. And in general, people call her the bad friend and baby the fuck out of Jackie Burkhart like she’s gods gift to the universe

Same with Blair and Serena. There are definitely times where S isn’t perfect, but Blair is way worse. I mean, Blair literally told the Yale guy Serena’s biggest shame just to hurt her. She knew how traumatized Serena was, even hugged her while she cried. And when people say “oh but S started it by going to Yale” “S started it by telling B off at the fashion show” Liek are you gonna ignore the fact that Blair is a deep pool of insecurity all because Serena is herself. And even blames her for the bad on Blair’s life. Like when Blair was all ‘you take everything from me’ when S was bonding with Eleanor. I get her pov and feel bad about her insecurities, but Blair has no fucking right to blame Serena for her problems and just needs to get over her goddamn self.

hi everyone, my name is kris and i’m super excited to get plotting with everyone! below the cut is some info about one of my favorite muses to play, cordelia von jenner!! like this if you want to plot and i’ll come sliding into your dms, or just hmu yourself!! i won’t be on until tomorrow bc i have my formal tonight but i’ll try to be on mobile!!

☆ · ˚ . ✦ . ˚ { GIGI HADID, 22, SHE/HER } spotted! CORDELIA VON JENNER making their way down the streets of the ues. i swear, every time i hear VERSACE ON THE FLOOR by BRUNO MARS, i think of them. the FEMALE is currently a MODEL. though everyone knows them for being BUBBLY & PROTECTIVE, page six says they could be DEFENSIVE & MATERIALISTIC. according to gossip girl, SHE SLEEPS WITH WHOEVER SHE CAN TO GET MODELING GIGS, but that could be a rumor.

so first things first, cordelia is the most materialistic, air-headed, and naive girl you’ll ever meet tbh. she’s kind of a bitch bc of how she was raised, but she doesn’t mean to be usually. it’s only when someone’s pissed her off that they should be worried of the tiny blonde’s wrath.

her modeling agency makes her go by delia, but i’m down w her being called cordelia, delia, cordy, whatever you want really. idgaf.

cordelia was born and raised in beverly hills, california. her dad is a big hollywood agent so she’s been in the background of a few movies before because of him, and her mom is a world-class plastic surgeon who is very focused on their family image and sees everything very critically, including her daughter. she wanted for nothing materially, but she always just wanted them to pay attention to her. their careers were both very involved, so she was mainly raised by nannies. she’s an only child and her parents were hoping that she would follow in their footsteps either in medicine or business, but she chose to go to nyu for art before dropping out to model full-time.

because of her parents fame, she was constantly in the tabloids when she began to act out in high school. she’s experimented in drug use, sex, underage drinking, table-dancing at popular nightclubs. as much as her parents despise it, cordelia enjoyed the publicity.

she made it through high school as queen bee. she thrived in artistic subjects and participated in musicals, plays, yearbook, cheerleading, and art club. she was head cheerleader, lead in the musicals and plays, and prom queen, basically ruling the school by her senior year--mostly because, though many loved her, many feared her as well.

she started modeling shortly after arriving at nyu, having been discovered in the streets by an agent. she started modeling full time by her sophomore year, abandoning school altogether. she has been incredibly successful thus far, but not without a little help. while she can book many jobs without any additional help, she’s been known to be the girl to do anything to book a gig--including sleeping with the client. she now lives in a penthouse suite by herself with her chihuahua, phoebe, bc she loves the extravagant things in life.

she falls for people incredibly easily and is a notorious dater, which often leads to getting her heart broken. she’s been cheated on many times, she’s been lied to and manipulated. it hasn’t stopped her, though. she craves love like she craves air, and loves to be in love.

she’s got a lot of issues with abandonment, feeling like she’s not good enough or pretty enough. she usually covers those with her narcissism tho. her mom especially left her with these after years of pointing out her flaws and offering her surgeries to fix these flaws. it’s gotten worse since she began to model. she wants her parents approval more than anything and it takes its toll on her emotionally. she’s very depressed and it breaks through her fake exterior sometimes.

don’t take her for soft, though. the bae can go from the nicest girl you’ll ever meet to ice queen in 2.2 seconds flat. she’s low-key inspired by pre-boarding school serena van der woodsen from gg, cher from clueless, and regina george from mean girls if that tells anyone anything

some possible connections for her that i would LOVE are exes for sure bc we know she would have many, a squad that she rolls with bc what model doesn’t have one??, a best friend that she shares everything with, someone that wishes for her eternal failure, an agent, fellow models, hook-ups, photographers, clients (or “special” clients *winky face*), a love/hate relationship that usually ends up with them sleeping together, a frenemies friendship. i’m open to pretty much anything!! like i said before, just like this and i’ll come to you!!

Managing the Upper East Side

Earlier, after watching a Gossip Girl episode at the gym in which Jenny Humphrey shows potential for usurping Blair from her throne, I got thinking how I’d cope with the two of them in the same team if footballers on the popular game/addiction Football Manager had their personalities. Then I took that idea and ran with it. 

I realise this is very niche.

Blair Waldorf - Blair is the Queen Bee. She’s the star striker. The whole team is built around her, and she puts in performances to match it. The fans adore her, the club adores her, she’s the highest paid player (with a clause in her contract ensuring nobody earns more than her) and she knows it. Understandably threatened when the new young star shows promise in the youth team, she wants to keep her place.

Jenny Humphrey - Little J. She’s from a similar mould as Blair. Both work well with Serena, but as J is a few years younger, she could easily be farmed out on loan spells to lower league clubs and affiliates to get experience, before being rotated and getting first team action in the cup games or when Blair needs resting ahead of crucial games. Let’s face it, nobody can stay injury free forever, either.

Serena van der Woodsen - returning after a long injury layoff, she complements both Blair and Jenny when S plays up front with either of them. Her relationship with Blair is fractious off the pitch, and fantastic on it - think Cole and Sheringham at Manchester United. More content to assist than score, she modestly accepts plaudits and player of the season awards (much to Blair’s chagrin).

Nate Archibald - simple, basic defensive midfielder. Fan of the three yard sideways pass. The team misses him when he’s not playing, but nobody notices him when he’s in the side. One of the lowest paid in the squad, just happy to be there. Can sign his best mate from his youth side on £2k a week and Nate’ll be as happy as a clam. Can also jangle shiny keys in front of him and he’ll be as happy as a clam.

Chuck Bass - the driving force of the midfield. A Roy Keane esque player - ambitious and wants the club to succeed at all costs, prone to occasionally cause grievous bodily harm to opponents, team-mates, officials, fans - anyone who gets in his way. Well worth the occasional ten match ban.

Dan Humphrey - Left back with delusions of breaking new ground and having a fancy Italian term invented for his role. Thinks he’s better than he is, needs an occasional knocking down a peg to remind him he’s playing for the team. Main provider of Serena’s goals. 

Georgina Sparks - the creative “spark” in the team. (Yeah, I couldn’t resist that. I’m sorry.) A tricksy but inconsistent attacking midfielder - sometimes will bamboozle the opposing full back and leave them with twisted blood, other times will end up running into blind alleys or firing every cross into the crowd. Best as a super-sub rather than having a run in the team. Always cedes free-kicks to Dan despite being the deadball specialist at the club.

Kati and Isabel - Blair’s minions, identical in style playing on either wing, supplying the majority of Blair’s goals.

Vanessa Abrams - nobody likes her. The team, the fans, the manager - even the Chairman’s 35 year old son (who always gets a game at the end of the seaon) gets a better reception than her. The one time she got a cheer from the crowd was coming on and getting sent off for a foul committed by her team-mate.
