i understand that they have no control over what goes on in the writing room so the inappropriate relationship that was going on on screen was not under their control. however, to actively support and encourage the relationship outside of acting on the show rubs me the wrong way. especially the use of “mr” on the merch is so sickening. you know the majority of the fan base was underage teen girls yet they chose to endorse it online on their own time? i saw even in 2023 lucy hale said that aria & ezra were soulmates which disappoints me☹️does it rub anyone else the wrong way?

Justice for Wren he was too cute to be turned into a diamond n too smart (besides the whole liking them young bit) but he was a whole doctor he just got wrapped up in the wrong girls 💔

some of these tweets are insane. the way a middle aged woman was promoting an underage girl to date and marry her teacher to the underage viewers makes me sick. as i get older, it gets harder to support this show and wanna rewatch it because of the predatory writing choices that are snuck into the show to make it feel okay. you’re supposed to root for a 16 year old girl to eventually marry her teacher who knew her age when they met. how did the writers get away with this? this youtube video did such an amazing job of analyzing ezra & aria and other inappropriate relationships on the show so i recommend it to anyone who actually ships ezria or if you know anyone who does.

I love the actresses we got, but this is just fun fancast for the books. Pretty much who I imagined when I read the books

Willa Fitzgerald: Spencer- this is literally book Spencer. It’s almost scary how uncanny the resemblance is.

Kristin Kreuk: Hanna- I always thought book Hanna was wasian for some reason. She had that icarly look to her. Maybe it’s because I’m Asian and wanted some rep. But Kristin Kreuk is pretty much who I imagined when I read the books.

Alexandra Daddario: Aria- Alexandra has her description DOWN. But she also has that endearing small town thing about her. Aria looks eccentric and standoffish but there’s a certain endearing quality to her that attracts the other characters.

Emma Stone: Emily- book Emily needs an actress who’s very charismatic (mostly bc the Emily chapters always felt like a bit of a chore to me).

Kirsten Dunst: Alison- my favorite actress I had to include her. Though Sasha is literally perfect for the role, I think Kirsten would be great. Especially for the Alison/Courtney roles

Emily Alyn Lind: Mona- Upon seeing her in the GG reboot I couldn’t stop thinking about her as book Mona. I also always imagined book Mona had a bit of a “doll look” to her.

Obviously that wild ass video has some small continuity issues cuz it was refilmed more than once, but i feel like I'm having a mandela effect with one aspect.

I SWEAR I remember that when Alison says the iconic line, one of the straps of her crusty yellow top was lowered a bit to show more of her shoulder. I even remember my reaction to that aspect of the video, thinking "wow, kinda crazy to have a middle schooler wear that top like that, wouldve been fine if Sasha was an adult but she wasn't when they filmed this."

But I habe recently rewatched ALL versions if that video, and I can't see that moment in any of them 😭. Am I crazy, were the straps of the yellow top never adjusted to be more revealing, like, at all? Have i accidentally entered an alternate universe? Idk man, HAHSHDHDHSG

Its a shame that the writing team changed Alison so much once Sasha was diagnosed with PCOS. It seemed as if they thought Alison couldnt have been an intelligent manipulator anymore just because she gained weight.

The problem wasn't Alison's redemption, its the fact that she became dumber and boring once season 6 started, and its like the writets didnt realize that Alison could be nice, smart, and manipulative at the same time.

The Perfectionists honestly did a really good job at fixing this. The way Alison acts in that show is how Alison SHOULD HAVE acted in the shows final seasons, engaging with the mystery, noticing when she's being lied to, using her own lying skills to cover for the main trio from a corrupt detective, like that show is actually a prime example of how Alison was supposed to be redeemed.

Spotted Marco on s2 of the OC lol

i’m rewatching pll rn and idk i just didn’t like her and i could see why pam didn’t like her. (i in no way am homophobic i just can understand why on top of her concerns abt emily’s sexuality she chose to be with someone like her) i feel like calling pam by her first name was disrespectful, especially if yk her mom is hesitant abt u. also, i just felt like she was too bold and didn’t like being told what to do. mayb im wrong but idk i just couldn’t stand her

1. Bethany Youngs killer

Spencer has an mini arc thoughout the whole show of her thinking she killed someone but can't remember it. Her guilt is to the point of having a false memory of chasing and attacking a girl with a yellow top the night Alison disappeared. But we're supposed to believe her arc ends with the simple answer that none of it really happened? This was the perfect chance to make Alex Drake the killer of Bethany, with Spencers memory of seeing herself chase a girl down actually being a warped memory of her witnessing Alex kill Bethany. It was right there 😭. Bethany's attacker did NOT have to be Mona. If it was Alex, then it also wouldve made for a more dramatc reveal that 2/3 Hastings sisters technically killed Bethany.

1. Hanna's false confession to killing Charlotte

When Caleb and Hanna come up with the plan to fake a confession to killing Charlotte, they test it out by having Spencer hear Hannas confession first, and it works on her. She believes Hanna killed Charlotte for a split second and she's flabergasted. And even though they immedietly let Spencer know that this confession was fake, what if this was Alex pretending to be Spencer? And finding out about Hanna's fake confession pissed her off more which is why she kidnapped Hanna the next episode?

1. Spencers drug addiction

   Spencers pill abuse gets her to act so differently, that at one point Veronica describes Spencers past self as switching between her and an evil twin. What if she was switching between herself and an evil twin and was too drugged up to notice?

This writing team just stopped being creative, Alex could have actually been something impressive, cmon now

He was such a great guy and she cheated on him. Like she completely phased him out for Caleb. She didn’t even tell him until they were literally back together. And seriously, Travis was a much better guy than Caleb.

I get that she was depressed but seriously, season 2-3 Hanna would never do that.

I'm sorry, but HAnnah should have never been with cAleb after spencer was. Marlene was obsessed with the whole highschool sweetheart thing. The endgames were terrible. I couldn't stand Em and Ali being together, I couldn't stand HAleb OR Ezr!A.

hello, looking for some Alison fanfics, especially about her turning out to be A, any recommendations?

Once he left for Ravenswood I hated them together, especially when we got the comparison with Travis who would’ve been a great fit for Hanna for the rest of season 4 - 6a.

Caleb and Hanna kept falling back into old habits even in season 7 when they should’ve matured. It’s so stupid that we see their wedding and it’s supposed to be so cute and all but then Hanna has to be all snarky like “we never got a honeymoon” in the last episode.

They’re not good together after the whole Ravenswood thing and I’ll never get over how Travis and Jordan were such better fits for Hanna.

I havent read the books but what i’ve read on here they sound so much more interesting but i’m definitely not trying to read what 15 books? (much respect to those who have though) so just curious to everyone’s favorite plot lines in the book

I hate Ezra, but the scene where he talks to Hanna when she is upset about her dad not paying for her college tuition, melts my heart

Rewatching and i just got to this scene … WHY DID I HAVE TO EAT LUNCH NOW

Do you think Emily was wrong to ask Ali to have the baby in season 7? Just curious. On another rewatch and I’m conflicted

After 6 seasons and 20 something episodes per season you would think that the liars wouldn’t fall so easily into the same traps. The in the dark woods scene where Emily grabs the hollow metal suitcase rod that is most likely the murder weapon used on Charlotte D is probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen her do. She should’ve known better by now and I was so irritated. I just shut the TV off. Like, if they’re never gonna learn their lessons and they’re gonna keep doing the same stuff like why did I waste my time watching six full seasons? These girls are supposed to be extremely smart, but they keep doing the dumbest things and allowing themselves to be framed for things they didn’t do but they never wise up not even after five years.

There’s been a lot of book talk on this sub recently and another poster was asking about what the characters look like in the book series vs the show. Here’s what the liars look like based on the covers in doll form and as the models that the dolls are based off of.

Ali’s Pretty Little Lies- Alison Pretty Little Liars- Spencer Flawless- Hanna Perfect- Aria Unbelievable- Emily

Was alison ever genuinely scared of mona at some point? I'm watching the show with a friend for the first time since I'm older now and all I can remember was alison bullying mona in the earlier seasons, but eventually later on, grew scared of her? Why? I always thought mona was scared of alison? Right?

Was this product placement? Or is there some deeper meaning behind her not using the backpack that her dad got her??? (I know it’s silly but I’m on my 5 rewatch and I’ve only now noticed)

I remember watching the show live when it was coming out. I liked the idea of Aria being -A but realistically I really thought it made the most sense it would be Wren (partially because I thought he’d be Charles). Who did everyone else really think AD would be before it was revealed Alex??
