I enjoy early nights with The O.C.

It was never my programme, really. I was always more of a One Tree Hill girl (I know, please don’t judge — mainly the first four series and I haven’t seen it since Lucas and Peyton left) and I still love Gossip Girl. But The O.C. is such a nice little place for me to rest my eyes.

Sandy Cohen was eating crisps in front of the T.V. so I had a sudden craving and I had to rush to the vending machines and buy Doritos. Oh the terrible consequences of early nights with The O.C.

Gossip Girl executive producer Josh Safran claims the Chuck and Blair scene at the end of the last episode (when Chuck pushes Blair down, kisses her when she clearly resists, scares the crap out of her and utterly emotionally abuses her) isn’t abuse because it’s Chuck and Blair. Read the interview in full. Watch the scene in question here on YouTube. Excuse me whilst I go and vomit. “I do not believe—or I should say we do not believe—that it is abuse when it’s the two of them” - Josh Safran, who later says that Blair is not scared, despite the fact that she RAN AWAY. I also think it’s a terrible message to say that she shouldn’t be scared. I don’t watch Gossip Girl with the expectation of moral lessons or interesting plotlines. I watch it because the cast is pretty and the storylines are shallow. I didn’t expect the people behind them to be this utterly full of bullshit, though.

Once upon a time, I enjoyed Gossip Girl. I miss those days. I miss when the writers weren’t trying to push and push and push an abusive relationship as the ideal. I miss when it was funny and when Nate actually had half a plotline and they didn’t introduce stupid characters. When Serena wasn’t a complete and utter bitch and when Blair wasn’t an idiot time and time again. The good days of Gossip Girl. Sigh.

#people can we please for a moment JUST A MOMENT talk about adult relationships? because so few people ever actually manage them and even fewer ever actually manage them within the fictional constructs of their completely trite and heteronormative and disney-fied tv shows/movies/books. But look here! An actually passable potential adult relationship among two intelligent burgeoning adults. There are no intentional games. There are no love scenes based out of anger or argument. There is only two people finally BEGINNING to come into their own and luckily magically miraculously connecting with someone else who sees that and supports that and is not going to submit to Disney but rather to themselves and to the real world and to… to what an actual healthy relationship might look like. I just want so badly for these characters to realize that they deserve better than what they have been taught to want and that that better is not actually something they saw on tv but something that surprises the hell out of them and makes them into better people and makes them happy along the way and does all of this without ever causing melodrama

Wise words from Nate. I don’t care, he’s hot.
