As I See It: On How Dair Is So Amazing It Cause's...
The ache in my chest watching the Dair kiss from Cross Rhodes on repeat about 20 times just now has left me with tears in my eyes. Every time I see him go to kiss her back, the ache in the center of my chest gets stronger. It’s like he’s breathing her in, like he was a drowning man who finally kicked his way back up to the surface and her kiss is the oxygen he needs to live. That is...

As I See It: Shipping Chair and Not Shipping It...
Why me no longer shipping chair has not a single thing to do with Dan and Blair:
I was once a Chuck and Blair supporter (and when I ship, I ship hard), the second after I saw Victor/Victrola I was all about them together. I forgave Chuck for the things he said to her after Nate and her broke up. I forgave him for leaving her to fly off to Europe on her own after the wedding where he said some...

As I See It: On Blair Waldorf... The Weakling
I’ve seen so many people post about not understanding how the writers could possibly write Blair’s character to be as weak and easily manipulated as she has been this season, and while I do question if the writers actually watch their own show and remember what they’ve had characters say and do before. I wonder if Blair is being exactly how they want her to be.
The labels they...

As I See It: On Klaus
A after watching the episodes and everything that lead up to the homecoming episode have had a shift about Klaus. A shift that I believe I was intended to have. After meeting Klaus’ family, and seeing that he considered Stefan his best friend, and realizing how isolated he must have felt growing up with a father who didn’t really like him much to start, more so once he had proof he...

As I See It: On Blair Waldorf Being "Changed" By...
I just read someone say
Blairs hatred of Dan is one of the best parts, it shows Blair’s personality. If she were to suddenly enter a relationship she’d be changing her character. As far as I’m concerned she’s perfect.
First, I don’t think Blair ever hated Dan. Did she view him as below her? Yes. Did she think he wasn’t god enough for Serena? Yes. Did she think his judgmental ways...

As I See It: On the Waldorfs of the World Falling...
I’m about to quote words of mine from my other tumblr, but I felt they needed to be represented here as my official opinion!
MAY SHE FOLLOW IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS
On Gossip Girl they show us Rufus/Lily who are forced to wait 20 years to be together, kept apart initially because they are from different worlds. Then they show us Cyrus/Eleanor, Blair’s mother with a man who doesn’t...

As I See It: On The Return of TVD
I was supposed to write this two days ago… and as it is now hours before the premiere I figured I’d toss out a short blurb to at least get my thoughts on what I felt before the first episode.
First I have to shout, I SURVIVED THE HIATUS!
It was surprisingly easier to survive than I thought it would be. Although I must say I was busier this summer, and I did have some good shows to...

As I See It: On 90210 4.01 - Up In Smoke
Well the episode starts off with some previously on, in case you forgot some of the major story lines and I was happy to see that I was pretty on point with what I did remember from the end of season three in my previous 90210 anticipation blog.
Then our first shot of what we think is the present is Naomi and Max in the hospital. Where we see them both nervous about this first appointment with...

As I See It: On How I Became A Writer
For a long time I was only a reader of fanfiction, and was content to just support other writers. It wasn’t until September 2007, that I had the desire to write something of my own, and it wasn’t until Early 2008 that I actually published anything for the world to read.
I quickly discovered that I had a unique writing style and that people actually liked it! To be honest I was...

As I See It: On People and Dealing With People
How people treat you is their karma; How you react is yours.
I am not a mean spirited person. I don’t ever seek to hurt people, or cause drama, or toss monkey wrenches into situations. That’s not to say that I’ve never been mean, hurt people, caused drama or tossed said wrenches…
The best way for me to describe my personality to people, would be to say I am highly...

As I See It: On How The True Blood Season Finale...
I started the episode off asking it to be kind to me, to let me finish it without feeling like waiting until next June was going to be torture… That was to much for me to ask of course because every episode this season left you with an “OH MY GOSH WHAT THE FUCK!” but in the case of those episodes you knew you’d only have to wait 7 days not over 7 months!
For now I’m...

As I See It: On 90210 Returning
Of all the shows returning to the CW this fall, this may be the one I’m least anticipating. In fact, it is the one I’m least anticipating, but then again it always is and yet every season they pleasantly surprise me!
I know we’re supposed to come back this season with everyone out of high school and beginning their “adult” lives. Unfortunately most shows don’t...

As I See It: On Writing Fanfictions About Real...
Okay so before recently I never had any desire to really write any fanfictions about real life people because I’m apart of so many fictional fandoms that there was no need. I think the only reason I’m questioning the matter at all is because there is a real chance my most recent fanfiction could be read by the person in the story.
Going back in time a bit, I wrote a couple “mini...

As I See It: On Reading Fanfiction (And What They...
I’ve been reading fanfiction since the tender age of 12. So amazingly for over a decade now. I’ve obviously jumped around from fandom to fandom over the years but I enjoy reading fanfiction so much. The romance, and the creativity…
I’m amazed at how many people have never heard of fanfictions soooooo here is a mini breakdown of some words I use a lot (in my own words):

As I See It: On Dan's Book "Inside"
To be 100% honest I have no idea what to expect from this book. For me its like an endless stream of questions and I have no idea which questions are the right ones. I am just dying to see how it comes to play out during the season.
What really stood out to me was the words Gossip Girl says as Vanessa gives Dan’s book to the publisher:
“In order to full transform we might need to...

As I See It: On My Being Over Weight
To start I hate people who judge you when you express a desire to improve something about yourself. I think everyone is entitled the freedom to want change whatever they want to change about their appearance. As long as you can look in the mirror everyday and feel happy with what you see, who gives two shits about what anyone else thinks.
If I listened to everyone who says “oh you look...

As I See It: On Joining The Dramione Fandom
Today is actually the one year anniversary of when I officially opened the doors to Dramione and all the wonders of Dramione fanfiction, and I have to give all props and kudos to RZZMG who wrote the amazing story Second Chances.
I’ve been reading Harry Potter since I was 10 when the first book came out, and I’ve been reading fanfiction since I was 12, but for some reason I...

As I See It: On Major Books Series Wars
Like what the fuck for?
I will be honest a huge part of me wanted to simply post this with just the above statement, and let that be that. As I see it, the only time a comparison conversation should come into play is if your recommending a variety of series to a friend to read. That feels like the only time it makes sense, because maybe they like one genre over another.
Fandom Wars... they...

As I See It: Zutara
I cant even began to describe how it was the day I started shipping Zutara but I do know that it happened in an instant. I remember sitting on the couch watching a rerun and the famous “I’ll save you from the pirates” scene happened and it was like an entire light blub went off, not only in my mind but in my sisters who was sitting there with me and suddenly we were both jumping...

As I See It: On Kessi Love
I have been a shipper of Kessi from the second I found out there was a girl like Kyle in existence. When Jaimie Alexander joined the cast of Kyle XY I immediately became fond of her character and the almost instant connection she had with Kyle. That first time she see’s him in the park, oh my goodness I didn’t need anymore selling than that.
As time passed and the dynamic between...

As I See It: On Laurel Vs Paula
Its almost laughable to me how strongly Paula is holding onto this grudge against Laurel. I mean this entire thing started because Wes is a douche bag. Now Paula could have just let Wes be an ass and kept herself out of it, but no she decided to back him up and talk down to Cara Maria and cosign every hateful thing he said.
She then waited until an Aftershow MONTHS later to apologize and only...

As I See It: On Liking and Disliking Laurel Stucky
Ah Laurel… Well first off I should start with how I experienced Laurel. I somehow missed Freshmeat II, and so my first time seeing Laurel was on Cutthroat. I didn’t care one way or the other about her for most of the season. She was just a girl who said some pretty random and sometimes mean things, but I was more focused on other characters.
She became memorable for her rant against...

As I See It: On Chuck & Serena
For now I’m just going to talk about them in regard to how they treat Blair and Dan.
Chuck… I didn’t realize until late season four how many times Chuck has “fallen in love” with other women. From the random hooker named Elle, to Eva, to Raina, he has been 100% committed to devoting himself to them in a much shorter time than he was ever willing to do it with Blair....

As I See It: On Dair
I’ve said before, like the majority of Gossip Girl fans I started out shipping Chuck and Blair. I fell in love with their chemistry in episode seven of the first season, and really connected with the whole “Chuck actually likes someone for the first time and doesn’t know how to handle it” situation. I was happily along for the ride as they worked to overcome the obstacles...

As I See It: On Ship Division (Gossip Girl)
Looking back now, for the most part my family has pretty much been on the same page as far as who we liked and didn’t like where Gossip Girl was concerned. We sided with Blair even if we didn’t agree with everything she did. Thought Serena was overrated, Jenny was tolerable until you realized how crazy she was. Vanessa needed to disappear, Nate needed to stop flip flopping. Dan was...

As I See It: On Gossip Girls 5th Season
I have so much to say about Gossip Girl, that I think i’ll have to break things up into many different posts over the course of time, but to start I have been a loyal watcher of Gossip Girl since season one, and before that a loyal reader of the books for years. I have stuck with it when I didn’t like story lines and when I did. So now approaching the fifth season of this show in...

As I See It
So excited to begin this blog where I actually get to write something verses simply getting to post snippets of things. I plan to make this a writing focused blog, where I’ll write about different things as I see it.
I plan to cover topics ranging from a variety of categories from my favorites fandoms, to my favorite ships, to random everyday things. I’m very excited! I’ve...
