The Serena Joy effect

A term for the feeling of going back and forth between liking/loving and disliking/hating a character due to their actions.

The term originated from when me and my friends watched "The Handmaid's Tale". Like wtf Serena?

"For fuck sake, Serena! You took one step forward and now you take five steps back! Like, what the fuck?! It's literally been five minutes! I was starting to like you again!"

"Yeah, that's the Serena Joy effect for you."

Serena Van Der Woodsen

She might've slept with every guy on the show. Every person that came onto the show slept with one of B, C, N, D. but B has slept with C, N and D and a few more. C hasn't slept with S they are step siblings, but has Slept with B and many more including little J. N has slept with both S and B and little J and quite more. D has slept with both S and B and a few others my point is not a single person has come onto that show and not slept with at least one person

Serena van der Woodsen

A beautiful girl who falls for every guy she meets! A good girl with a bad reputation! She is loyal and kind but sometimes impulsive and scheming! She has some good quotes and is sometimes a savage!

serena

the sweetest and beautiful girl you ever seen. is hard for her to get interested in someone but when she does, she will protect they as a treasure <3.
most of boys like her, but she is always focused on herself . even if she doesn’t know you, she will probably listen and help you if you need it.
she is also very pretty :))

serena is so pretty, i’m in love with her.
serena is an amazing friend.
i would pay for being like her.
