life has been terrible but I don't wanna talk about it. Instead I wanna talk about The LA Complex because it is a perfect show and it'll probably get canceled (at least on The CW, hopefully not on whatever Canadian channel it started on and I hope pays for it) but I DON'T CARE because it is a perfect group of human disasters in Los Angeles,

Oh god, Cattlin. Oh god. I can't with thia show. I love it so much. I love the Kal storyline abd I particularly like that Chris is currently putting him in his fucking place because Kal needs some pushing. I feel for his friend, they've been besties forever and he doesn't know about Kal or even think to know about Kal. He rly does want what's best for Kal, he just doesn't have the first clue what's best. I don't like his dad. No way is that shit leading anywhere good, even if Kal's storyline isthe based on Frank Ocean coming out. I do love Kal and what a human disaster he is. HE JUMPED OUT OF A WINDOW TO AVOID DEALING WITH HIS LIFE.

I love Raquel so much. She's possibly the worst person ever on televiaion. How can one person be such a terrible person and still make me love them? She def miscarried btw. That's what her "i just got my period" thing was about. I didn't get it the first time cause it's kinda subtle and i don't ever expect subtlety from this show. Whebever Raquel does something horrific, I just nod because oh god, she's terrible. I love you, Raquel.

MANNY SANTOS ME ON IT! Those are my literal feelings on the matter. She's so terrible and i was watching the first ep while working out and i jumped up and down in my elliptical BECAUSE SHE IS MANNY SANTOS AND ILHER! ugh, i want to shout at her to get a fucking job, but other than that, I think she's great. Don't ever so things in a successful way. Always think that trying to turn a threesome into just you and the dude is a thing that's gonna turn out well. PLEASE.

Alan Thicke's long-term mockery of Kirk Cameron was possibly the best part of that. At any moment, i expected him to shout "LOVE IS FIREPROOF!!!!!!"

Connor, oh Connor. I want him to get a nice Dom. Like, o want to write him into the paid submissive fic in Suits fandom so someone can pat his head and tell him he's a good boy. THE WAY HE WAS SLEEPING WRAPPED AROUND HIS FAKE GIRLFRIEND! I want the fic where Jen and Eric keep him as a pet. He needs it.

The only good thing about Nice Guy Nick is when Sabrina's ruining his life. God he's terrible.

But rly, Kaldrick King forever. You realize he's Fiddy and Tariq is Kanye, right? Think about it.

YES, Chris is exactly what Kal needed, an out and proud, successful black man to show him how things could be if he were to come out. And lord, I dread every scene with his dad because I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know? I refuse to believe any periphery character on this show is not shady as shit and I'm just counting down to his dad doing something.

HE JUMPED OUT OF A WINDOW TO AVOID DEALING WITH HIS LIFE. OH KAL. I feel like he and Connor should have scenes together because I think they'd get each other. But also maybe not because Connor is dumb.

Ah you're right, ty for reminding me of that part. LOL Raquel, she's so great at being so terrible. I hope she embraces her awfulness at some point and starts going out for Mean Bitch roles because she would get all the awards for them.

OH MANNY. I love that she always does exactly what I expect her to do and it's always the wrong thing. Like, after getting that extra part for 100 bucks, she just leaves with this dude she JUST met because he'll pay her to show him the sights. He ended up being okay (although I'm just waiting for his ulterior motive to raise its head, too), but like, MANNY. NO. DON'T DO THAT BABY GIRL. and lord, that whole scene where she tears up Alan Thicke's office looking for his dirty side is so hard to watch, it literally reminded me of any Degrassi episode. God bless her.

LOLOLOLOL I WOULD HAVE PAID ONE MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN NO JOKE.

totes agree about Connor and lol no one cares Nick.

Oh shit, YOU ARE RIGHT. :O

I feel like it's going to end with him losing his dad in his lide, but that, like Frank Ocean, he'll get an outpouring of support, umincluding from his friend Reg. Moreover, I hope he straight Sir Charles' this shit and is like "nobody cares, Kal, definitely not me. Only assholes care a out this shit."" That woukd 100% be my fantasy for this to play out. You know Dynasty would keep working with him.

WHY ISN'T RAQUEL EMBRACING THE FACT THAT SHE'S A BITCH? GO, BE A BITCH ON CAMERA AND GET PAID AND MAYBE EVEN GET SOME LEGITIMACY. Apparently her character is based on a "what if Claire Danes never worked after My So-Called Life?" Only bitchier and I'm like "RAQUEL! MAKE THIS SHIT WORK FOR YOU!' I'd buy her as a bitchy friend or a corrupt police cheif or... jesus, you're a good actress but unlikeable. Quit trying.

Her agent isn't that bad, you know? Manny, you could be doing better if you'd just take more Extra work and since you refuse to have a real job, maybe you should consider it. I want to slap her, then hug her, then laugh at her. So, yk, she's Manny. I LOVE MANNY AND HAVE ALWAYS LOVED MANNY. UGH.

ALAN THICKE COULD'VE WORKED IT ON! WHY DIDN'T HE?!?!?! If I can't count on Alan Thicke still being a bitter betty about Kirk Cameron's decent into crazy, WHAT CAN I COUNT ON?!?!?! IT'S FIREPROOF!!

I hate Nick. I hate him so much. Ruin him, Sabrina, he's terrible.

Tariq is more the lovechild if Kanye and Lupe, a gifted producer like Kanye but a decent, smart, deep dude like Lupe. Sensitive like both of them. Kal legit looks and holds himself like Fiddy (only more attractive). And his personality is pretty Fiddytastic. Idk if that's a happy accident or on purpose but since RaPS is my forever girl, it's relevant to my interest.

[riorhapsody]

That would be ideal! I also kinda hope that Tariq is one that finishes producing his album and then it gets huge (like channel Orange did) and Tariq gets all kinds of work, cause he definitely deserves it.

IDK!!! She would be so damn successful if she just embraced her bitchiness and played it up to advantage. I get that she still wants to be seen as a youthful, sweet girl, but that is just the exact opposite of her! Oh Raquel, get your shit together bb girl.

MANNY SANTOS 4EVER. she'll always be making terrible decisions and embarrassing herself while being super hot, I love it.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Fireproof jokes are the best jokes.

UGH NICK I HATE HIM. I wanted to like him at first (because he is cute and I always like the funny guys) but he INSISTS on being every terrible Nice Guy trope and not even all that funny in the first place. THE WORST.

YYYYY. I really wouldn't be surprised if the writers took bits from Kanye/Lupe and Fiddy when they were creating these characters.
