Cassie Ainsworth from Skins (2007)

Why yes, she is a fictional character. That status, however, is irrelevant.  Cassie Anisworth is a level of beige writers should strive for.  I mean, you can take the simplest idea, dress it up with a skinny blonde actress (having talent, of course, is highly optional), then write her the most cryptic lines and everyone will project their own personality on to her.  Now Sarah from a little town outside Manchester relates to her.  As do Jane from Bellevue, NE.  And there is also little Emily from Canada who idolize Cassie’s quirkiness so earnestly.  That’s maximum profit for minimum effort.  But don’t you dare forget to work in one or two lines that glamourize eating disorders and drug addiction!  “I didn’t eat for three days so I could be lovely”?  That’s beiger than beige, yet that is the tag line for all those whimsical fourteen and fifteen-year-olds with Tumblrs (or Livejournal).

Classification: Vanilla

Sorry, I have to reblog this to my Tumblr proper as well.  I need everyone to know my opinion on how fucking basic Cassie Ainsworth is to me.  Her fanbase is a disgrace.
