#like she's a genuinely interesting and mildly mean girl secondary antagonist/anti hero character but with so much capability

[catoscloves]

so i googled rachel gatina's fate and.. fuck that? my girl deserves so much more

#the creators don't deserve her?? #i honestly hated the way she acted at the tail end of s3/the beginning of s4 #especially because i genuinely think she's better than that chasing after unavailable guys/guys who are far too old for her #like she's a genuinely interesting and mildly mean girl secondary antagonist/anti hero character but with so much capability #to show people genuine kindness and actually care about others!! #and instead of allowing her to keep that growth they made her a heroin addict and prostitute? #I'm not saying there's anything inherently morally wrong with people who are those things irl #but like??!! hello???? #and they fucked over brachel too i fucking hate this #she grew so much and grew on everyone and showed people that redemption was something that could happen #that she could change and become better through friendship #and they threw that away for DAN??! he killed his own BROTHER but his redemption arc was more important than rachel? #(who did not kill anyone and was only a promiscuous teenage girl with lacking boundaries when it comes to men she shouldn't pursue) #(i'd argue that that's better than a MURDERER who killed his BROTHER) #(and emotionally abused/terrorised his wife into a crippling pill addiction?) #(and abandoned the child he fathered?) #i do think a lot of Rachel's actions like flirting with a married man REPEATEDLY (and she literally even went to their wedding too so??) #were inexcusable but rachel had the redemption arc that Dan could never dream of #especially since Dan LIED TO EVERYONE about how Keith died and deceived karen into opening up to him again #oth #rachel gatina #anna speaks
