random ass lps popular thought but i literally dont understand people who treat brooke like shes innocent solely because her mom is shitty??? like to me it seems like a very clear "villain origin story that explains why they are the way they are but doesn't redeem them". her mom is neglectful and abusive, yes, but a lot of her actions through the series are like. completely divorced from that conflict. brooke may be taking ques from her mom with the whole cutthroat social attitude she has going on but her actions are still very much her own, like she only got the baseline ideology of "you need to stay at the top to have any worth" from her mom and everything else (the manipulation, cheating, blackmail, etc) is all stuff she chose to do herself to attain that goal. and even THEN she's doing it all completely to serve herself, her mom couldn't care less about her daughter's status in high school. brooke probably knows this and is doing whatever she can to derive self worth from her social status alone because she's all too aware that her mom just doesnt give a shit. so everything she does is still on her
i guess a more succinct way of putting it is like. brooke's backstory is more of a frame for her mindset than something you should feel sorry for her over, yknow? because as badly as she's treated at home she turns around and treats everyone around her the exact same way. abuse is cyclical and it's crystal clear that brooke is willingly continuing the cycle because she's obsessed with the power it gives her, power that was stolen from her that she's now stealing from others. and the kicker here is she HAD chances to make positive changes, both with her dad treating her nicer while he was still alive which establishes that she does know how to be kind as well as savy being willing to reconnect and give her genuine friendship again which could've helped her out of this toxic mindset. but she threw both of those chances away because she's so power hungry and is CHOOSING to continue acting like her mom because that's what gets her the most power/worth.
she needs help, but she doesn't deserve forgiveness or sympathy because of all the heinous shit she's done. also, you can't help someone unless they accept the help and/or are willing to change, and we've seen that brooke is NOT willing to change at all. idk man i just dont think we should be so fast to absolve her of accountability when she hasn't shown any willingness to overcome her circumstances. like not even "oh i want to change but things are so hard" no she doesn't want to change full stop. shes stuck in her mindset and that's her downfall and that's the point
anyway brooke would fucking love marina and the diamonds. unrelated to everything

with my kriselle ideas its like. kris has some weird little romantic queerplatonic whatever the hell crush on noelle and has kind of had said crush since they were little. but they dont rlly feel the need to act on it? or more like after shit Happened and they grew apart they felt like they couldnt/shouldnt.
and so in snowgrave when kris is forced to do all this stuff to noelle they feel terrible not just in general but in a VERY specific way bcuz on some level they do actually like her like that. and they are obviously not enjoying any part of this but there's still that deep guilt about the fact that it's happening at all. esp since noelle is very clearly into susie (in this scenario i think noelle also has similar weird feelings towards kris but she doesnt rlly show it so kris wouldnt know that) so kris feels really gross about this whole thing even tho they're not in control
and then of course this all comes with an asterisk reading "THIS IS AN INTERPRETATION OF THINGS AND I VALUE THE REALITY OF THINGS AND KRIS' TRUE FEELINGS ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE AND AS SOON AS ITS MADE MORE CLEAR WHAT THOSE FEELINGS ARE I WILL RESPECT THEM I WILL NOT FORCE MY WILL ONTO KRIS AND NOELLE"
