Ryan & Marissa | Cardigan

[mischas]

really niche but post-mischa on chd there’s this one clip from the L.A that’s been rattling around my head. it’s that scene with summer & the meta valley!versions of adam & rachel in the car, and she says “wait - you two are dating? don’t you think that’s a bad idea, what if things don’t work out and you guys break up. wouldn’t that be bad for the show?” and obviously that’s a more obvious dig at rachel/adam but that just makes me very sad for mischa, because it’s clearly a hit towards ben/mischa as well. instead of her feelings from that relationship being seen and understood, she was punished for “making things bad for the show.” not sure if this was coherent but

Okay so much about The LA is suspicious to me now. I now realize it's a dig at them both and that's just... wild. JS knew exactly what he was doing. The timeline of when that episode was written and then filmed is also hazy on the M/B timeline. The script was submitted a bit after Mischa's birthday and filmed not terribly long after that and I suspect there was an initial breakup with some bad boundaries in the weeks after. So... suspicious to say the least.

Anyway, I think that reference is this meta kind of warning to both couples about how things can shift negatively and Mischa really experiences this when she comes back for s2 and finds the vibes rancid. Mischa has said she had problems with the writing when she came back to set and there's enough subtext in the book and in old press that she was pissed the s1 dynamics were being torpedoed. I also think she knows/knew a lot about how A/R dealt with their own kind of pressure and how the show marketed them specifically.

page six isn't shit for posting this, but glad that mischa released a statement. pagesix(.)com/2021/06/02/mischa-barton-wasnt-bullied-on-the-set-of-the-o-c-source/

Thanks for sending that in, dear. Glad that Mischa responded with a statement saying that even if she did behave unprofessionally, it didn't excuse the abuse she incurred. Also very intrigued by her again hinting that there's going to be more truth to come.

The statement:

“There was a lot going on. Whether I was late or not doesn’t excuse certain behavior from individuals in powerful positions. Everyone experiences things differently and where I acknowledge some of my past behavior may not have been helpful in certain instances, I will tell my truth when I feel ready.”

Standing my ground is not really my strong suit.

So on your first listen- which songs off ttpd do you think fits marissa/ryissa 😁

Lol I was so delirious and sleepy by the time I finished TTPD on my first listen that I didn’t absorb anything until probably yesterday 😂

But so much of the self-loathing and mania of part one feel Marissa coded in some way. These are def Marissa to me:

Down Bad

But Daddy I Love Him

Guilty as Sin? (Luke era)

Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? (this is actually so Mischa to me)

I Can Fix Him (KV era)

The Black Dog

imgonnagetyouback

The Albatross

Cassandra (also a Mischa song)

The Bolter (like a Lot)
