Genevieve and Gabin have this big sister/little brother energy where big sister (Genevieve) tries to give little brother (Gabin) tips how to improve.

But little brother needs the cool new guy at school (Tobias) to say the same thing for him to actually do it (get physio for his foot, stop fighting, etc.).

Why does everyone (and I don't mean the just the show but also tons of posts on tumblr) say that Gael wrecked Quinn's marriage?

The way I see it - and that might be a cultural thing - it was Quinn who wrecked her marriage by cheating. And what we learn is, that the marriage had already been a wreck before Gael came into the picture.

So why is he the one responsible? Sure, sleeping with someone married or in a committed relationship isn't the nicest thing to do. But he isn't the one who's responsible. Quinn could have said no. She could have separated, or filed for divorce before getting it on with Gael. It's not as if he forced her.

Jack can’t offer Cheyenne the job any longer because Nicholas survived?

So we forget that Nicholas wanted to retire anyway and got roped into another year by Jack? We ignore that he was looking forward to retirement and already ordered the dog?

Sure, let him come back and work himself into the grave. Despite there finally being someone who could take over. Or even better, have Nicholas show Cheyenne the ropes, allow for a smooth transition later on.

Show: this new development will be be very very dramatic.

Viewer: but couldn’t it be really simple because you mentioned two episodes ago …

Show: don’t you dare come to me with logic.

Yes, I love Tobias and Gabin and the way only they get each other.

I love the two walking breakdowns that are Jack and Genevieve.

Cheyenne and her determination.

Nicholas and his stories.

But the true treasures in Étoile for me are Mishi and Bruna. The way they connect with each other. Against all odds. It’s perfect.

I really love hurt/comfort fics. Only, sometimes I just skim the hurt to get to the comfort fast. Like, I know there has to be an injury for it to heal but I’m not in the mood for the bad parts I only want to read about it getting better.

Teen Wolf Sterek fanfic recommendation

I‘m usually not big with recommendations, but I just read this cute little pre-slash Sterek fic that I thoroughly enjoyed. It’s set in an all human kickboxing AU and is about healing after loss, friendship and finding your place in the world again.

Compared to other Sterek fics it has criminally low kudos and IMO deserves more attention.

While writing a Dawson's Creek fanfic (what demon did convince me it would be a good idea?), I ask myself why I'm even checking anything for plausibility when the show obviously didn't care.

Mr. McPhee thinks its a good idea to have the teenage boyfriend of his just stable again daughter pick her up from the mental institution where she spend the last months. Not checking with the doctors if this kind of surprise is a good idea and oh, while we're talking, let the front desk know someone's coming to pick her up. The boyfriend's leaving after school and won't be there before end of visiting hours. They then will be back quite late? Who cares? At least he doesn't have to take a day off and drive all the way himself. Bessie: You want to accompany that guy you were always complaining about on this trip and return home at whatever hour. Sure sis, have fun. Sheriff Witter: As if I care when you come home, son. If I need the cruiser today? Nah, why would I?

Does Sheriff Witter even need his car for work? The number of times Pacey is driving it around and not only in town. Picking Andie up somewhere a five-hour drive away? I’m confused not even other cops stop him to ask what he’s doing outside of his jurisdiction. Nobody can convince me that Capeside‘s sheriff’s office has such a wide reach.

But also in town, people have to realize.

Joey distracting the nurse at the facility to help Pacey sneaking in, nicely mirrors the scene in season 1 when Pacey bribed the prison officer so Joey could visit her father after hours.

I’m coming to the conclusion that Dawson and Joey have the most destructive relationship ever. And not regarding them as a couple but for all people around them.

They get together in the season one finale and Jen’s grandfather dies.

They kiss in S2/E19 and Abby dies.

They get back together and Mr. Potter starts dealing again.

I can’t remember right now what happens when they hook up in college but isn’t that around the time that Mitch Leery dies?

The birthday party from hell. I’ll never understand why any of the people Dawson insulted ever spoke again with him.

Worst best friend ever.

News flash Dawson: you can’t steal girlfriends. They are not a property that’s owned, they are individuals that make their own decisions.

The episode starting with Dawson and Pacey reading the lines of Dawson’s script to each other: pure queerbaiting.

Nobody can tell me that wasn’t on purpose.

I don’t think the Tamara experience will bring Pacey’s purity level below Chris’ or Jen’s.

For being the supposedly nice guy, Dawson has some serious anger issues.

Forgetting your best friend‘s birthday AND reading your girlfriend’s journal. Dawson‘s really aiming for as many lows in one go as possible.
