"she's not my girlfriend" "yes, i am :)" in a sea of dull het couples* sam/jack are cute

*not you naley dw i'm not talking about you

peyton is dying to have lucas scott's baby.. karen is still gone.. this is the worst fucking timeline

s6 is so self-referential i'm 😴

really feel like peyton only wanted lucas post-timeskip bc of her abandonment issues and it would've been a better conclusion to her arc if she moved on. see my ffnet fic titled People Always Leave (But Sometimes You Meet New Ones)

i wish these characters had jobs

the casablanca episode was an insult to casablanca btw

actually i take that back, doubt this is a budget problem so much as a refusal to give leyton real conflict any more

like. brooke is meeting men at bars

this show's budget constraints bring us insane decisions such as "i edited a book abt lucas and peyton's love story then decided to date lucas" and "i broke up with peyton over her fixation on lucas then decided to turn their love story into a movie" and i can't decide which is a worse life decision

brooke would be so happy dating a girl

superman valid bc i did not realize that was sonya girls like girls until she took off her glasses 😭😭

they keep comparing sam to brooke but she's more like peyton tbh

they keep leyton apart so much like they're afraid to tip their hand but as a result, i don't care about them! i liked them in s1 but now they're just an idea!

one tree hill thinks love is not a choice and that's its biggest problem

chase sure is sticking around for a character whose name i never heard before in my life

one of my favorite little details is that whenever someone wants to move they must move in with someone else or take someone else's rental apartment as though there is a serious housing shortage in tree hill, north carolina

for sure! his last scene wasn't even really *about* him. it made him feel very plot device-y as a whole.

it really wasn't!! the film obviously wasn't that interested in samuel and i think that's fine, but they shuttled him out so quickly that it felt hollow. needed another couple rewrites.

which i do believe is what babygirl wanted.

loved this motif in the film and loved reading this!! you captured everything i loved about the movie and also what i didn't. i screamed at you bringing up sanctuary. say what you will about that movie but it knew how to end itself, made me feel like dancing around the room -

extremely charmed by this episode where they're trapped in a library and have a computer, but the only way they can use the computer to contact anyone for help is by ordering pizza

as i was saying bsky.app/profile/sava...

if no one else got me i know lucas/haley friendship got me

brooke comforting peyton by going "don't worry babe, lucas kept committing to me and he never meant it" is literally so funny

i hope haley and peyton continue in this state of "we're in a friend group together, but i don't particularly like you" for the rest of the show. a fave dynamic!

lucas scott is literally a villain

peyton is so funny for going up to brooke like, hate lindsey for me 🥺 she thinks i'm after lucas which is soo unfair 🥺

they made lindsey and haley friends overnight solely bc lindsey has no one else to talk to

oth is the only teen show where the characters talking about having to pay rent on their recording studios and businesses

aged poorly
