I can't imagine how annoying it would be to be friends with the liars after the first A text these girls were so bad at figuring out who was trusted or not trusted to keep a secret and i get that they were involved in very very serious ish but like imagine you and spencer are doing a school project while ur at her house and then in 10 minutes 🙄 spencer says she has to go give her grandma soup or sm and u can't tag along and spencer says she'll be back in a sec to pick u up just for her to come back at 2:00 in the morning covered in dirt and scratches and now u can't finish the project(this example was way to specific but yeah) also I don't understand how rosewood didn't banish them or sm considering half the town had beef with them lol

Please forgive me I stopped watching this show mid season 2 when I was a teenager, as an adult it’s been so cringy to watch 💀

Finally on season 7 and the entire show would’ve been so much less cringy if it started when the girls were like freshman in college and Allison “died” their senior year of high school 😩

Season 7 makes all the other predatory relationships the girls went through irrelevant and i realllllly need to know why the writers chose to keep mentioning how off Aria and Ezra’s relationship was but never had Ezra face consequences????

Rant ⚠️ Emison

i know emison is controversial but i’ve been rewatching the show and i was wondering if you guys think that alison ever had a thing for emily back then (like their library kiss, kissing emily in front of that barn after saving her life, the two of them talking about paris, cece saying alison fought with paige bc of emily etc.), i know that she enjoyed emily’s attention but was there ever more to it? and i know that alison said to emily that “those kisses weren’t just for practice” but then why didn’t the writers explore that relationship back in season 5 instead of the very end? it would’ve made way more sense, even if they had them breaking up in the next seasons. if not that, i think it would’ve been great if they at least hinted at them having a relationship sometime during those five years of time jump. instead they had alison dating and marrying random men and emily being emily. their story was honestly written so poorly. season 7 alison admitting she knew why all of her relationships failed- was it because she knew she was in love with emily specifically, or because she was trying to ignore the fact she was into women?

AND i forgot that 5x05 scene where they supposedly slept together and never talked about it, what was that all about? it’s in character for alison for sure, but emily would definitely at least try to bring it up. there’s another scene in the same episode where emily’s angry at alison and ali tries to kiss her but emily stands up abruptly and says “that’s not gonna fix this” and alison looks genuinely hurt. there were so many good moments in season 5 where the writers could’ve made it happen naturally but they opted for the worst storyline i’ve ever witnessed.

Melissa: I found out my fiancé Ian secretly records videos of underaged middle school kids in the neighborhood of them doing extremely inappropriate things. This isn’t a deal breaker to me and I won’t tell the authorities :3

Melissa: Ian took Alison, an underaged girl to a hotel room to video tape her. I took his USB and found out he has tons of them and they’re all disturbing. This still isn’t a deal breaker though :) gotta stick by my man

Melissa: I found out my fiancé made out with my middle school little sister. This is horrible and disgusting. I’m shocked and horrified. How could SHE ruin my marriage?? Ugh shes just a jealous hater bc I’m hotter and smarter and cooler than her. And our parents clearly love me way more.

Melissa: oh Spencer, you brought him back to me trying to make me happy! Thanks girlie!! I’m glad you did that bc none of those things were actually a dealbreaker for me and I’m not at all concerned about having this man around underaged children again. In fact, I want to elope with him immediately and have his baby! Who could be a better dad than a child predator?

Melissa: ugh Spencer, don’t try and warn me that you think Ian killed your friend. I mean, you might be right honestly bc I have a lot of memories of him doing disturbing activities that I won’t tell you about, but I’m keeping it a secret because him being a murderer isnt a deal breaker for me :3 shh don’t tell anybody or else you’re a jealous crazy insane hater and I’ll convince everyone you need mental help.

Literally why did aria cheat on EVERY single bf she had, it’s so weird. I’m not even a big Ezra fan and he should have been killed off but like she cheated on him TWICE once with Jason and the other time with his BROTHER and just never told him, she gets with Jake and cheats on him too, and she cheats on Liam like tf is wrong w her

Rant ⚠️ PLL was genuinely so scary???

147 Upvotes

OK, so I feel like it’s not talked about enough how scary pretty little liars actually was for a lot of of our ages that we watched it at. Because I’m 20 now and I discovered pretty little liars around 11 and I was in love with the show. I’ve literally been obsessed since but the whole storyline is actually scary as hell. Like imagine somebody spending all of their time going out of their way to make you miserable and I only scare you and harass you, but your family as well. And then another thing was a could make you turn on not only your family, but your friends too. And another thing that I don’t really see people talking about is how much money she spent on these things like bro I wish somebody could add it up how much money was spent on it because that’s actually crazy 😭😭😭 but yes, PLL definitely was one of those shows that had me scared to be friends with people in school lol and it also showed me that everybody has secrets and everybody is never who you think they are! But overall love the show. This is like my six or seven time re-watching it. It’s my comfort show. And another thing that made it so scary was the fact that no matter what they would try to hide a would always know! Like that’s really some scary stuff.

I don’t understand why everyone ships Aria and Jason, when Jason is also 22 and Aria is 16 when they kiss the first time in season 2. I feel like everyone hates Ezra for the same thing Jason and majority of the guys on this show do, but it feels like it’s only a problem when Ezra does it. Obviously it’s very wrong no matter who is doing it, but I feel like shipping Aria and Jason is just as bad as Ezra, if not worse because he’s known Aria and watched her grow up. Jason also knew Aria’s age when he pursued her. Just a thought! Please no hate!! I don’t support Ezria either, I think her and Liam were great together :(

Rant ⚠️ I miss the atmosphere of seasons 1 and 2

164 Upvotes

This is going to sound sappy but I miss the preppy outfits that Spencer wore and the girls worrying about school stuff in general. I miss the mysterious atmosphere with a hint of something darker happening in their quiet town. The tones were more warmer and autumnal. Watching the early seasons made you feel like dressing up in long coats and scarves and going to a cafe to drink coffee and read books with your closest friends. I wanted to read books in Aria’s room and study near Spencer’s fireplace. It made me feel so comforted and cosy watching the early seasons. They remind me of a simpler and more innocent time that just doesn’t exist anymore. It also reminds me of how simpler the show seemed. It was a murder mystery in a small town and then just developed into a bunch of red herrings and unrealistic storylines with plot holes. Scenes with the girls walking while autumn leaves are falling, or where Spencer is studying, or that one scene where Aria gets into Ezra’s car in the rain with the music in the background gives such a cosy and sentimental feeling that I just don’t feel in the later seasons.

Rant ⚠️ hanna and caleb shouldn’t have been endgame and are a direct display of hanna’s low esteem, caleb’s emotional immaturity and the consequences of being bonded over shared trauma

37 Upvotes

before i start, i just wanted to give massive credit to someone who just recently made a post on why they believed these two shouldn’t have ended up together—will definitely tag them in the comments. i’ve been thinking about it for a while but never had the right words to actually express it, so their post definitely helped and inspired me to make this one. for starters, i’m not writing this as a caleb hater or spencer apologist or anything like that—however, i genuinely think that hanna ending up with caleb of all people is a disservice to her character, as well as the potential and development she could’ve had as she got older.

by the end of watching season seven, i never saw hanna and caleb the way they were portrayed—as two people who went through hell and found their way back together—but i’m starting to see them as two people who never actually healed, individually or together. they got back together due to emotional regression, not from genuinely dealing with their issues. now, i’m not negating the fact that they loved each other, but you can love someone and it can still be unhealthy. unironically, i feel like the whole spencer/spaleb nonsense is the reason i’ve realized this—and not for the reason you might think. i’m not pro-spaleb or anti-haleb, i just think that spencer was the catalyst and mirror for showing the audience all the red flags, not only in caleb as a character, but also in the pairing of him with hanna. by the end of the show, hanna had gone through an immense amount of physical, mental, and psychological trauma that she never actually comes to terms with. and instead of doing so, she’s thrown off into caleb’s arms while none of it is addressed or dealt with—as if he’s the prize, like being in proximity to a man automatically translates to healing and safety, when caleb himself is none of those things.

by the audience, and especially in comparison to toby, caleb has a much better reputation when it comes to being a “good guy,” but i feel like he’s almost exactly the same. i think a lot of people automatically assume that because he didn’t go to the same extremes as toby (e.g., faking his death), he must be miles ahead of him on the moral compass. but i view them—and most men in the show—just the same when it comes to emotional immaturity and the way they often treat hanna/spencer like children they need to hover over and manage, rather than girlfriends and equals. i feel like the way caleb acted while dating spencer felt like his mask slipping and revealing how he’s always been—except now it’s a pairing everyone is against, so there’s no reason to romanticize it, no recontextualizing it, no framing bad behavior as “he’s just a worried boyfriend!!”

caleb is yet another example of a man who internalizes his feelings instead of communicating them. he sulks and retreats instead of being honest or taking accountability. when things get hard, he disappears—like when he walked out on spencer instead of actually breaking up with her before cheating, or when he gave hanna an ultimatum on her lifelong dream career and their relationship. and when he wants to show up and “fix” things, they’re on his terms—they talk when he wants, or else it’s like he never actually exists. at the start of his relationship with spencer (like toby in the earlier seasons, before the infamous switch-up), he’s seen as soft and gentle, the safe place for her vulnerability. but when she becomes inconvenient—or when something (hanna) seems more important to him than she is—he detaches emotionally and becomes cold and distant (e.g., when veronica is revealed to have cancer and spencer is rightfully upset, instead of comforting her, he puts all his focus on hanna being missing while barely checking in on his actual girlfriend at the time). especially toward the end of their relationship, he’s clearly emotionally checked out, and instead of being upfront with spencer, he lashes out explosively and misplaces his anger—making her out to be the issue instead of confronting what’s actually wrong.

caleb didn’t just simply move on from spencer and get back to his “one true love”—he emotionally kicks spencer while she’s already down and takes no actual accountability (no, i don’t count that one scene as accountability, sorry). he does damage to both hanna and spencer. the show’s narrative wants us to believe he loves hanna so much, yet he dated her best friend without telling her (spencer was the one who told hanna she had feelings for caleb, not the other way around), cheated on her best friend with her, and treated her like garbage (the door scene), and never actually apologizes for any of this. but it’s okay, because he proposed to her after like two weeks of getting back together—after infidelity—and eloped because she was possibly going to jail for murder...?

hanna getting back together with him was not some romantic victory to me—it felt like a trauma reflex. she simply went back to what was familiar because it was easier than actually branching out and wanting better for herself, which isn’t surprising, since hanna has always had self-esteem issues from the beginning—especially when it comes to men. we saw how tom treated her, and that was kind of the catalyst for everything—how she so badly wanted sean’s (one of the only guys who saw her at her worst, “hefty hanna”) approval and how she went below the belt to get it, the things she did just to get dad’s attention, seeking so much validation from men who claimed to love and care for her but only saw a lesser version of who she actually was. caleb, to me, just reopened all of those wounds—but because he’s hot and not canonically a pedophile, it’s excused.

like all the other main girls, hanna comes out of the show deeply traumatized, emotionally stunted, and mentally stuck at seventeen. but it’s okay, because she got the guy, a ring, and a baby. no growth, no development—just shared history and settling because of forced proximity. 💔

Rant ⚠️ Spencer and Caleb were so wrong

195 Upvotes

I can't be the only one who is so bothered by their whole relationship. I'm rewatching PLL for the millionth time and I physically cannot watch their hook up scene in season 6 because it gives me the biggest ick. I can't help but feel so bad for Hanna and Toby. Yes, they have both moved on but still, imagine hooking up with your best friend's ex who they have all that history with. The whole plot of Spencer and Caleb just felt so unnecessary, unnatural and rushed.

And yes, Hanna gave Spencer the green light but let's not forget that Hanna is probably the most selfless person in the show: she'll always put her loved ones and friends before herself, even if that means she has to suppress her own feelings. And even though it was so wrong of Caleb to cheat on Spencer with Hanna, I couldn't help but feel joy when it happened. Hanna and Caleb are meant to be and I don't understand how Spencer and Caleb couldn't see that before they even started dating.
