#remember when...?

Remember when they made Keesha white in the recast and just didn't say nothing about it whatsoever???

And did you know that the white actress said that the audience "PRESUMED" that Keesha (KEESHA), who was involved with one of the Black men on the show at the time and nobody mentioned anything about race in the storyline - she said we presumed Keesha was a WOC.

Yeah, Girl. Why would we presume that a character named Keesha with a storyline involving all the Black characters on the show was NOT a WOC, and why would a soap opera not mention it, if it were so. Did you WATCH a soap opera? If she was supposed to be white from the start and it never once factored into that early 90s brand of interracial relationships in soaps, we of course presumed this was a light skinned Black woman or a biracial with Black woman. Then came you, and we were fucking confused. Because I wasn't old enough to comprehend that they could just make somebody white if they felt like it. Lol

Anyways. I kept misremembering this character's name, thinking it was Camille or Simone, talmbout, "It was a Black name, something Black..." whole time her name was Keesha and that's probably why whenever I would bring this up, people wouldn't know wtf I was talking about and I had to give a roadmap of her short lil' storyline.

She had an affair, got AIDS and died. Ain't that some shit? Lol. Anyways. White Keesha was the one who died, btw. Previous Keesha had went on to go do something else, but she was the one who was fuckin Olivia husband.

posts include:

the biggest discussion was if it’d be laurel or felicity that slade would pick to lure oliver in to their final fight

we were all losing it because of oliver and felicity holding hands before he walked away, lingering the contact between them and the same applies to oliver insisting to carry felicity bridal style even if he was hurt

no seriously, we were losing it after 2x21 and all the platonic touch

lol the neverending discussion about the ‘thing in the finale that would make some olicity fans happy and others angry’ and almost everyone agreed it’d be a kiss, aside a few people that bet on ‘i love you’ (that a lot of people made fun of - me included - but the joke was on all of us)

we were really concerned about oliver’s understanding of his love for felicity - like it’d take him at least another season to understand how much he cared for her and how honestly in love he was ahahaha joke on us again 

everyone pissed about the ‘i love you’ “ruse”

me begging for a forehead kiss

me telling theirhappystory to stop thinking about olicity possible first time that had no place around that time because we didn’t even get the first kiss yet and she should focus on surviving their first kiss (x)

and then later i was discussing their first time and how oliver should kiss her shoulder (x)

this is hilarious cause fast forward 11 months, we have got:

multiple declarations of love from oliver, including a direct ‘i love you’

first kiss

forehead kiss

couple of people trying to use oliver’s love for felicity to manipulate him

I have waaaay too many likes. I don't even know why I like posts. To save them for later?

Anyway! I don't want to get rid of them, so I'll be reblogging some old, irrelevant stuff under the tag "remember when…?". So far it's mostly TGP2, but that's cool, right?

Well I was getting all nostalgic for my old J-Gro posts and found it!
