weird girl trope

yt ppl are nasty. The celebrities are disposable.

Shakespeare’s Macbeth opens with three witches called the “Weird sisters” —and the title character’s ruin comes in part because he fails to fully understand their prophecy. According to actress Pauley Perrette, NCIS creator Don Bellisario’s intent with Abby was “to take an alternative-style person with tattoos and make her someone who is happy, totally put together and successful.”.

I myself am strange & unusual.” - Beetlejuice (1988). All this abuse also doesn’t automatically turn the weird girl into a great person, as some of our glib popular narratives suggest; instead, it messes her up.

Long-running TV shows have given us weird girls who are well-adjusted and popular with their peers. haven't read them since i was a teenager and i feel like the emotions hit harder now but maybe it's just because life kinda sucks right now.

Why do people misunderstand her, or are even scared of her? Allison even ends up with the jock.
