I’ve never felt this healthy before…

Jenny + “You Oughta Know”

[id: screenshots tracking Jenny Humphrey through the events of 1.05, from her nervous arrival at Blair’s sleepover to her confident smile as she successfully shoplifts from Eleanor’s store. Overlaid are the lyrics “you live, you learn/you love, you learn/you cry, you learn/you lose, you learn/you bleed, you learn/you scream, you learn/I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone/I certainly do”]

Dan + “Not the Doctor”

[id: several screenshots from “memoirs of an invisible dan” with lyrics over them. A red-lit Dylan Hunter laughing with “I’m sad but I’m laughing,” the dair interaction (“I’m brave”) that transitions into the Dylan/Claire kiss (“but I’m chicken shit”), and an exhausted-looking Dan with “I’m sick but I’m pretty, baby.”]

[id: screenshots of Dan and Jenny being Sad together in s2, with the lyrics “Well it’s full speed, baby/In the wrong direction/There’s a few more bruises/If that’s the way you insist on heading/Please be honest, Mary Jane/Are you happy?/Please don’t censor your tears… So take this moment, Mary Jane/And be selfish/Worry not about the cars that go by/‘Cause all that matters, Mary Jane, is your freedom/So keep warm, my dear, keep dry” overlaid. At “there’s a few …insist on heading,” it shows them in later season, and “so take… that go by” cuts to family hugs]

[id: several screenshots of an utterly exhausted and fucked up Dan from early s5 with the lyrics “Sometimes is never quite enough/If you’re flawless, then you’ll win my love/Don’t forget to win first place/Don’t forget to keep that smile on your face” overlaid”]

Jenny + “All I Really Want”
