“Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it’s still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on.”

Veronica Mars + her camera

“When [Keith] tries to defend the woman who abandoned them both, Veronica says to him, “The hero is the one who stays”. Time and time again, Keith is her hero - the hero’s hero.

SNICH // SLUT
Loyalty is the core of the friendships [Veronica] makes, all of them based on the ability to see past the surface to the character within … Wallace Fennell is a black student new to the school who, in a small version of what Veronica has gone through, has unsuccessfully attempted to report a crime and has been humiliated by being taped, naked, to the school flagpole by members of a local biker gang. In both cases, local law enforcement was less than useless; and Wallace’s nakedness faintly echoes Veronica’s rape. [x]
