#'but she was mean!!' stfu she was literally disowned do you think i care

[tuiyla]

that infamous ryan murphy quote about how quinn was supposed to be this unsympathetic mean girl character to me and dianna “ruined” that is crazy to me because the poor girl finds out that she’s pregnant as early as season 1 episode 4 😭 and proceeds to get knocked down by life nearly every single episode after for the remainder of the first season. dianna did play a large part in making quinn so likable and sympathetic (in the following seasons especially but even just in season 1 also) but even just her character on paper kind of makes your heart ache for her. she’s only 15/16 years old, gets pregnant under some dubious circumstances, loses so much in the process, is kicked out of her own home and disowned by her father, bounces from place to place to live until actual angel mercedes steps in, struggles with the hardships of teen pregnancy and the decision of what she wants to do while literally being 15/16 years old. and of course she makes her fair share of mistakes along the way, she’s by no means perfect. she’s a bully when we first meet her and she lies to finn about him being the father. but my god i don’t know how you couldn’t not feel bad for this child, dianna and her wonderful ability of making quinn likable to watch onscreen aside.

We're doing it we're answering asks, let's goooo

That said an ask about the infamous Ryan Murphy quote has been sitting in my inbox for about 4 months at this point oops haha, but we'll answer one at a time

Cause girl! That's what I've been saying! Like, regardless of what RM actually meant when he backhand complimented Dianna I truly believe that this bitch didn't consider how sympathetic Quinn was bound to be and he's so wrong for that. There's no way you can have a character go through as much as Quinn did, on a show like Glee that ostensibly champions the downtrodden and not have her be sympathetic. I truly believe that three male writers didn't think people would feel for Quinn as much as they did in that situation. Which is bonkers because was she cruel towards Finn? Sure, but even Beth's conception itself is so dubious like we've covered before. But even IF Quinn was just some cold-hearted calculating whore who wanted to hurt Puck and Finn and everyone around her, she's still a 16-year-old pregnant girl who gets disowned. Come on! How the fuck am I supposed to feel more for Finchel's "tragic" inter-social (i.e. high school) class relationship in the face of that. Fuck relationship drama, this girl is h o m e l e s s and pregnant.

I really feel like the message of Glee throughout Quinn's pregnancy storyline up until the point Quinncedes happens is that Quinn... had all the hardships coming. That she deserved to be knocked down a peg. Only it happened through her getting knocked up and it's super messed up that the show pretends she's anything but a victim. Who the hell cares that she's bitchy. Who the hell cares that popularity is important to her. Newsflash assholes, it's just as important to out supposed heroes. Lmao I get so mad about Quinn's treatment. And this is why I can't in good conscience get behind people who say s1 is Quinn's best and that the pregnancy storyline was done well. No it wasn't. It decentred her whenever possible and wasn't in the least bit sympathetic if not for like, a single scene in Ballad and from Home on. And, of course, if not for Dianna. RM should be grateful Dianna did her thing with Quinn cause framing your arguably most tragic character as if she had it coming just because she's a bully at 15 is not a good look. But that's a recurring thing for Glee, ain't it. The more I think about it the more I believe Quinn and Santana's treatment re: pregnancy and outing are similar.

Quinn is a walking talking, but mostly crying tragedy. It's frankly disturbing that for some time they cling to this idea of her being irredeemable when she's just a mean kid playing into the same system everyone else does, too. But she happens to be on top and schadenfreude is real, I guess. Except it really wasn't for me there was no part of me that felt any justice in what Quinn went through. And guess what? Neither did Rachel. And I don't think Rachel is meant to represent the audience's perspective when she shows Quinn kindness in season 1 but alas, she does. I don't trust no bitches who don't feel the same.

My mom has been always the person who caused me so much stress and has been making my life miserable since birth. just because you have a good mom doesn’t mean my mom’s the same. My mom has caused me so much trauma she skullfucked my childhood. my mom is a textbook narcissist, all she cares about is herself. She likes to pick up fights just for the sake of causing chaos. Imagine as a kid the paren’t whos supposed to take care of you acts like that. Being around someone like that for a long time takes a toll on someone’s mental health. Im trying to get out of this victim mentality because I’m aware its not good for me either, but this is my background and history. My mother has been always someone who does complete 180, you think its all good until she decides to ruin everything just for the sake of it. That’s been always my life since i was a kid thats why i had to be in situations no child should have gone through. i know there are definitely some people who have it worse but while other kids my age were out playing and enjoying their mundane life, i was there sitting at the corner thinking about my survival because i’ve been always in situations where i was in danger. its all thanks to my wonderful mom. I just grew up with that kind of environment and lived like that for so many many years. i know that not everyone is the same but when shit goes down i cant help but think people are going to betray me or is out to get me/cause harm on me because for two decades of my life thats all i knew. i have to fight and survive because if i didn’t do that at such a young age i don’t know how could i made it alive today.

its so hurtful and triggering to me when someone make comments or give shitty advice to me thinking i can rely on my mom because thats literally the last thing i could do. my mom plays mind games and to engage with her you have to be a psychopath that is completely devoid of emotions. i can never rely on my mom and i’m tired of people assuming my life is easy just because i appear to have it together. im tired of them comparing themselves to me because its completely the opposite. they’re so lucky they have family as a support system. imagine you’re someone like me who don’t have anyone. my mom is evil and has done nothing but make my life worse, my sister disowned me and my dad is dead, i don’t have a partner or friends i can trust. i’m basically alone in this world. but just because i have accepted that and just because i’m actively solving my problems doesn’t mean i have it easy. i just wish people would stop commenting about my life when they dont know shit about me and even half of the shit im going through. not everyone has to share their private life with you in the first place, like stfu

flashback to when bonnie was so adorable in pink!!!!

oh ok, so the DA frees prof. Marsden and tells sinclair to leave annie and her people alone, and in return annie gives him a chockblock of evidence on judge millstone

Prof. Marsden looks like someone I know

A black woman and a trans woman sharing and validating their feelings about their dead abusive straight white husbands #loveit

look I know nate just lost his wife but it's not like he was the most devoted husband beofre she died??? I mean he WAS having an affair after all, so he GAVE UP that time with her, how did annalise STEAL IT from them?? And annie is literally trying her best??? Literally if someones not letting you in the most you can do is be there and show that youre waiting if they need you?? Which is what she's doing??

I can't wait until everyone finds out it was frank who killed lila. Cant wait for laurel to dump his murderer ass

I literally dont care about ashers daddy drama AT ALL like honestly if my father was a corrupt racist judge id disown him myself faster than you can say conflict of interest. Its pathetic that a man would put his bigotry and pride over love for his own son
