\"A<\/p>\n

9.”Glee<\/a> is (unfortunately) one of my comfort shows and it has gotten to the point where I literally will skip past plot points involving Rachel, especially once they go to New York. Half the reason the last three seasons suck so much is because Rachel got everything she wanted, and she didn\u2019t deserve ANY of it.”<\/p>\n

15.”Aria and Emily from Pretty Little Liars. I\u2019ve been watching people mock the way Emily had no emotions and\/or just acted bored during PLL, and it\u2019s always so spot on. For Aria, her friends could be going through the literal worst, and her response would be ‘what about Ezra?'”<\/p>\n
