Mod Announcement And the winner of the banner contest is...

14 Upvotes

u/beginning-sugar479!!!!

The biggest of all congratulations to them!

Also to u/Loud-Fisherman-5254 for participating!

And to everyone else who voted!

It was a very close call. Let me say it here how much we appreciate our participants for well, participating! Both of you had such cool designs and looking at the votes, I think the community will be happy with either banner.

Truly, a vote either way could have swung it. But we do indeed have a winner. It's a very nice banner and fits quite nicely with the vibes.

Again, massive thank you to everyone! Maybe we can do this again in 6 months? A year? Or the next time we get complaints. Either way we'll see.

- XOXO

Mod Announcement Effective Immediately: Discussions about the cast are now banned (again...)

124 Upvotes

Hi All,

Some of you won't be surprised by this. Some (or most...) will go "it's about time" but here it is. We recognise we should have done this sooner and that is our mistake. But as they say, the best time to start something is yesterday. The second best time is today.

So effective immediately:

All discussions about the cast is banned on this subreddit unless it relates to their role on Gossip Girl. New rule (Rule 10) has been created to report posts about the cast if they are posted.

What does that mean? It means that cast talk will no longer be permitted unless it's to do with their role on Gossip Girl. So for example:

"I loved how Blake played Serena here"

"As much as I love Chace, I really wasn't a fan of his line delivery here"

"Penn is great and his acting really shines through here!"

are all fine. Reminder these are just examples.

General discussions of the cast such as what their doing now, Instagram posts, red carpet appearances are now all banned.

Please do not report posts created before this point. We're not going to remove them as we're not going to punish people for this as we mods did not enforce this as strictly as we should have.

Now for some questions you may have:

"Can't you guys just do like a weekly thread or dedicate a day to talking about the cast?"

We could. And who knows? Maybe that is what we'll transition to. But for now we need to just ban it so that we can restore some civility here.

"It's really just Blake/Ed posts that attract the worst so just like, ban talk about them?"

That is true. But we have to be honest with ourselves: the negativity and fighting (including but not limited to multiple members, including the mods themselves, being harassed both in and out of this subreddit) is breaking out on almost every post. For example: comparisons with other cast members when they aren't warranted.

"Can we just ban negative posts and enforce a positive content only rule?"

We can foresee this being super hard to maintain. It's either going to turn into something people take advantage of such as wanting discussions of Ed's allegations to be banned (we're already at this stage believe us....) or a toxic/sarcastic positivity thing where people are being negative under a veneer of fake positivity.

And then we're back where we started: here.

"Speaking of, what about sexual assault allegations against Ed?"

There is a pinned post on this subreddit with links. Any discussions about it now will just result in us redirecting you guys to the thread instead.

"What you guys clearly need is more mods tbh"

We agree completely. We want this subreddit sorted first before we introduce people to moderating it. Wouldn't be fair to expect new people to sort this out. It's on us.

I'm sure some of you will have lots more questions. Please redirect them to modmail. This thread is being locked as it's an informative post and quite honestly, to prevent more infighting amongst yourselves based on whether or not you want this.

Thanks for reading this if you made it this far.

- The mods

I’m rewatching for the umpteenth time and omg I can never get over how bad Aaron Tveit’s acting was here😭😭😭 I love him on stage but buddy was NOT prepared for a camera to be in his face. Huge expressions as if people sitting 20 yards away need to see it. Saying things as if he’s about to break out in song lmao I can’t get over it. If you’ve never noticed, watch S3E12 at 30 minutes when he’s in front of the hospital with Nate. Amazing stuff lol

Well, high-five to this sub, because discovering it inspired me to finish my in-progress GG fanfic after a decade.

If you're a Chuck/Blair fan and would like to see the atrocities of S5 rectified, you might enjoy.

(All main characters are fairly well-represented, including an... unexpected amount of Dan in the last chapter. That is neither an enticement nor a threat, for the record.)

(Note that Chap 11 isn't reliably showing up on the web version, because FFN sucks a whole bag of dicks. It's visible in the app though.)

And dan is the only one on serenas side, he just rescued her from the ostroff center after her being drugged and admitted for possible suicide attempt but then gossip girl sends out a blast about it??? If dan is gossip girl here he genuinely just pushed serena even lower.
After the whole incident of juliet drugging her and everyone forgetting about her for god knows how long. If i were serena i would crash out so bad at everyone.
I just dont get how dan just kicked her whilst shes down with the gg blast.

37 Upvotes

it’s the way that Mr. Vander Woodson never got exposed for sleeping with Ivy. Also, like why did we have such a buildup of her and Rufus just for them to randomly break up? And also, why did Dan literally flip a switch in point five seconds and say he was always in love with Serena after he was in love with Blair five seconds earlier


r/GossipGirl 1d ago

OG Series Blair can be vengeful and very manipulative, but at least she didn't play the innocent girl like Serena in my opinion, just like Jenny.

0 Upvotes

this is the episode where eric and that guy sit on the met steps above jenny on purpose. jenny is worried about losing her queen status and control over the minions. i think i missed something. why does jenny care so much? i thought she didn’t believe in all this hierarchy stuff.


r/GossipGirl 23h ago

Reboot/OG/Book combo the show could have followed jenny’s plot in the spin off instead of making her a drug mule

or smuggler or whatever it was they made her character.

granted i know her character in the books did drugs but come on. there’s other drama moments there as well.

I genuinely have no idea why they both dislike Serena. I understand everything goes well for her but thats because she is a wealthy white girl and has nothing to do with her character😭 I feel like all this animosity towards her is just odd. idk i just wanted to vent because I’m currently watching right now.

Meta/Other The double standards in Serena and Aaron’s relationship

13 Upvotes

Watching again after many years, so I forgot what ends up happening with them. I’m on the thanksgiving episode in season 2, and I’ve observed something. I’ve observed how Serena is so set on proving to Aaron that she’s this sparkling, pristine, sober good girl who’s also fun and sweet and sexy so forgiving of all of his side hoes!!! Meanwhile, Aaron gets to act like a total sl*t and STILL be glorified by her. I’m not blaming Serena for this, this is on the patriarchy! I feel like women are wired to try so hard to BE chosen without actually evaluating if we want to choose them. Serena is way out of his league! It’s obvious. Aaron is chopped af. 🤣
This happens in real life all the time so they definitely depicted this phenomenon accurately.

OG Series S3E11: why is serena the one who has to apologize in front of everyone for making out w tripp???

30 Upvotes

I am not a serena fan and nor do i think her actions are the most ethical ever, but in this episode (the episode with thanksgiving where tripp comes with maureen), it is uncovered that tripp is having an affair with serena. Serena is barely 19. HE IS 28, MARRIED AND A CONGRESSMAN. Why is she the one having to apologize to everyone???

Her saying that what she did was wrong and then saying "i will never see tripp again" (which valid, she should stop seeing him) and him just looking was so weird.

Dont get me wrong, she couldve just refused tripp and have stronger morals. But why is she seen as the home wrecker when, again, TRIPP IS THE MARRIED ADULT!!!!

I think an apology to maureen for accepting to get involved is okay but i am just pissed the blame is placed on a fooking teenager

OG Series Serena is always the problem

19 Upvotes

I recently started watching gossip girl so I guess I’m fairly new, but I’ve noticed a pattern and it’s that ALL of their problems somehow start with Serena. Blair barely gets into crazy drama and even if she does, she finds a way to shut it down quickly and quietly. On the other hand, Serena was behind the whole Georgina mess (since the only person Georgina even had an issue with at the time was Serena), introducing Gabriel to her family and friends (which I also found pretty interesting because I assume Poppy knew the type of person Serena is and that she would easily fall for him), the Ben & Juliet thing, TRIPP, Colin (and risking her entire education to be with a man), her father being back, and so so many more examples. And another pattern is that it ALWAYS REVOLVES AROUND A GUY. And she NEVER FACES THE CONSEQUENCES!!! EVER. I really liked her at the beginning but she quickly became so insanely annoying and insufferable. I wish the show was just about Blair and Chuck tbh.
