Aww, absolutely, as if it weren’t already on my list, lol, but quick quesh: are we really using Stepril? Is that the official word?
See, I’d recommend TBH even w/o the wlw. To me its like a less serious Veronica Mars (since things don’t get nearly as heavy, there are no murders or anything, but there is a nice season long mystery) mixed with some Faking It style high school parody. The wlw was just a nice cherry on top. It was an enjoyable show already, and then the April/Sterling stuff happens, fitting in so seamlessly. I just love how they developed!
Right, right, I was just enjoying it in general, it was funny and dumb and at worst, I thought it’d be like Dead to Me s1 where the most important relationship and interactions were between women (it’s so valuable when that happens, even without f/f).
I try not to recommend as a matter of course, just offer whether or not I liked it and I definitely did even before the f/f story, but you know, I can’t say that it didn’t bump it up a lot for me. Obviously for being a well done main character f/f arc, and to know the show wasn’t completely lacking in any form of rep (at this point it’d be a deliberate omission) but for this particular premise, it fit in so well with its specific angle.
Some ideas for gifsets- the April/Sterling confrontations before and after the debate. (i.e. the 5th grade incident and the arm grab scene). Oh, and maybe a random assortment of the telepathic twin conversations. Blair’s fake music audition (do you think they’re going to go back to this? I wasn’t sure if it was a finding her confidence thing or a, maybe something she might want to do in the future thing). Times the twins trying to hook Bowser and Yolanda up?
Thanks, I had some of these on my list already and I’ve added the rest!
As for your question, the fake music audition, I don’t think it’ll come up again, but maybe. As booked as Sterling’s s2 is, Blair’s is kinda empty, aside from being there for her sister and being mad at her parents over a secret THIS massive, and then I guess we’ll see what her love interest situation will be. Oh, though, I SO want to see her interact with April now, knowing everything. Really hope there won’t be any teasing or mocking that treats it like April being hypocritical or that this is some fun, scandalous secret but given their dynamic, feel like that’s being too optimistic. Ideally, would love for them to bond as people who deeply care about Sterling who is going through a heck of a time.
Can we talk about April casually dropping that she lifts in master debater? She was so offended that Sterling’s isn’t know/ notice ?
Haha, she was!
INSULTED at the idea that she doesn’t, DISGUSTED someone could assume that about her.
Can we talk about April saying she was in the “Straight-Straight” alliance lol.
Hee, right! What a fake out early on, you just thought it was the show setting up this world and she was like, the Mandy Moore character in Saved!.
Although, kind of really sad in hindsight, too, she really went to hide in plain sight, huh.
What did you think of that scene with April and Luke? (The one where he tells her he’s like halfway to being angry with Sterling) I don’t know why but that scene felt kinda awkward, I mean it’s so hard trying to read April during that scene because on the one hand I didn’t feel like she was jealous I just felt like she was just telling Luke to move on because she knew Sterling wasn’t into him anymore but it also felt like she was doing it because she Felt bad? I don’t know?
Oh, it was awkward but I think it was meant to be? Sterling’s previous and current love interests talking, except only one of them actually knows! And is freaked as HELL about the other even suspecting.
I’m not sure why those things have to be mutually exclusive, that she was telling Luke to move on because it was, well, true, and better for all three of them if he did, but also feeling bad–not at them breaking up, that happened before her, but I think at the subterfuge and listening to him talk to her as a friend about Sterling and his hopes of getting back with her while she’s secretly hoping for the opposite. I think that final “I get it” and then turning away in frustration was because, what can she really say that doesn’t seem two-faced and manipulative?
To be honest i think Blair looks crazy similar to Emma Chamberlain (they even have similar personalities lol)
Maybe you have to see her in motion, but I’ll take your word for it, anon! Actually, the actor who came to me out of the blue for Blair (but still waiting on April :/) is Alona Tal! I can’t believe I didn’t think of her earlier.
And another anon:
Is it just me or does Sterling look like Camila from warrior nun??
It isn’t just you! Someone else mentioned her too, so that’s like, possibly the most votes so far. 😛
