They are all okay. And all those things could exist in the same woman. Women shouldn’t be valued because we are strong, or kick-ass, but because we are people. insp.
All of Simon’s songs to Zoey being ultimately about himself (If I stay I’ll be in trouble, I get jealous of other people you’re with, even though you’re in the other room I’m still preoccupied with my own problems) vs. All of Max’s songs to Zoey about loving her unconditionally and wanting to make her happy (even ones like Bye Bye Bye, with “I loved you endlessly/but you weren’t there for me”) I’m actually melting inside somebody hold me BACK
What they say: I'm fine.
What they mean: Veronica Lodge is just someone who's trying to do better and be better and every time she takes a step forward she's brought right back by her fathers illegal and horrible actions. She tried to help Ethel in her time of need while no one else would. She made her feel at home with her family and provided some new friends for her to hang out with to cheer her up. She gets constantly judged for who her father is and is still pure enough to apologize for something she didn't do, and should not be apologizing for. She stood there and listened to someone say horrible things about her when she had absolutely nothing to do with any of it and yet she still only blamed herself. She was courageous enough to stand up against her father, and decided to not be defined by her fathers money anymore. She's a ray of sunshine that deserves all the hugs in the world.
Clarke Griffin in every episode: 1.03 Earth Kills ↳ You think I’m fun, right?
i. i never fucking loved you. i told you i did, told you i did so much and i never meant it. told you i’d die without you / didn’t know what to do without you / couldn’t live without you. i lied through my teeth. gritted teeth, red lips, & me, lying to you. making you feel good. me, leaving. making you feel so, so bad.
ii. i loved seeing you break like that. so willing, so pretty – so desperate to fall in love. so i turned myself pretty for you / nice for you / perfect for you. and then i cracked your spine. sticky, wet tear trails on your rosebud cheeks, gasps as your heart shattered. i never loved you but seeing you wrecked, torn in half? perfect.
iii. here is the truth: i am a heartless murderer and i get off to destruction. you, wondering: why? asking, don’t you miss me? begging, please? a ballet dancer, spinning around in this web of lies. this web of i love yous. the truth hurts, doesn’t it? here, listen closely, let me whisper this in your ear: i never loved you, but there, when you were lying on the bathroom floor, sobbing—there, i almost did.
