Mischa Barton - CoopCakes (Marissa Cooper) #13: Come pick me red roses with your bare hands.

Welcome to the "CoopCakes" Marissa Cooper Appreciation Thread!

She's the girl next door that became so much more...

The Character...
The daughter of Jimmy and Julie Cooper, Marissa lived next door to the Cohen's her entire life. She had it all, great friends, a great boyfriend and the perfect family. Or so we thought… the day she met Ryan, everything in her world changed. Since then she has been forced to make tough choices and take responsibility for her life. With each new decision, she has sent a loud message to the community -- "I don't care what you think." She stood by her father, befriended Seth, left her boyfriend and found herself falling in love with the ultimate outsider.

We welcome discussion about these other characters, but not at Marissa's expense. This is just for positive thoughts about Marissa, or complaints about how the writers treated her in storylines if you didn't like it.

Title refers to the Delta Goodrem song Bare Hands, which I feel describes Marissa perfectly.

Delta Goodrem - Bare Hands lyrics

I've got a question on my mind
You can answer in your time
Just don't freeze like a deer in the headlights

Sometimes it's the risk of getting hurt
That's beautiful and worse,
Is being numb feeling nothing at all

A little pain lets you know your alive
We gotta live and love not just survive

Hearts that don't love can't be broken
A dream stays a dream if not woken
If you never bleed then you won't understand
Come pick me red roses with your bare hands

I'm standing right in front of you
But you don't know what to do
It's the fear of thorns that keeps you out of the garden

Be brave, be the fool, you've never been
'cause i'll be here to kiss you skin
Melt me on the path where love could begin

Hearts that don't love can't be broken
A dream stays a dream if not woken
If you never bleed then you won't understand
Come pick me red roses with your bare hands

Make me feel i'm worth it
Don't love me with gloves on
Pick me roses roses with your bare hands
Make me feel i'm worth the scratches

Hearts that don't love can't be broken
A dream stays a dream if not woken
If you never bleed then you won't understand
Come pick me red roses with your bare hands

A little pain lets you know you're alive

Hello, Depression.

DELTA

Although yes. Depression.

I just love Delta's voice!

And the song does fit

**Lisa2011** · 11-12-2007, 10:58 AM

Wow!
Beautiful title, beautiful song, beautiful art!

Junk_Yard_Slut · 11-12-2007, 11:10 AM

Love the title. The song sounds awesome. *runs off to download*

**Sam_MC** · 11-12-2007, 06:21 PM

Memorable moment

**Cristofle** · 11-12-2007, 06:29 PM

The only good finale the show has ever done, and all thanks to Marissa. And Mischa and Logan. Who are awesome.

**Sam_MC** · 11-12-2007, 06:30 PM

LIZ. Get your ass in the Homecoming thread!

CreekFreak · 11-12-2007, 06:31 PM

It would have been even more memorable if she shot Ryan.

**Sam_MC** · 11-12-2007, 06:32 PM

LMAO. I was just thinking that.

Its a shame Marissa has a skilled aim.

**Cristofle** · 11-12-2007, 07:21 PM

She's been slammed so much for shooting Trey, she really shouldn't have bothered. Let Ryan get his head bashed in with the metal base of an old phone by someone who's already beat the crap out of him and can probably kill him with the phone.

CreekFreak · 11-12-2007, 07:22 PM

RYAN DIDN'T ASK HER TO SHOOT TREY.

So obviously Ryan never had to be there for her, you know, for comfort. He needs his ~rest~

LMAO. That always made me laugh. Should have let Trey kill him. Seriously.

xburningbrightx · 11-12-2007, 07:35 PM

I remember the moment I saw the S2 finale when it aired. I was just blown away I have never seen her look more hot while holding a gun. I was just in awe.

I would want her to shoot someone for me anyday.
