Re: Things You Have Trouble Accepting As Canon
(Anonymous) 2013-02-24 12:34 am (UTC)(link)It's like, if both Troy and Britta were in different places, I would be totally cool with them just being fuckbuddies. Actually I am totally cool with them just being fuckbuddies, I just wish THE SHOW would stop presenting it as Finally Britta's With A Good Guy and/or Finally Troy's Become A Man With A Real Girlfriend. Like you said, Troy has in the past treated Britta pretty shittily, depending on the episode, and it's not like Britta's the first Real Girlfriend Troy's had (I think the writers sometimes forget/ignore the fact that he was, like, the super-popular jock back in high school).
The way Troy and Abed are presented is definitely weird. I'm not 100% sure I even ship them sexually, but I definitely see them as soulmates, and I think they definitely see each other as soul mates: they're these two people who never really had someone who understood them, who never really got to be themselves and be accepted for it by anyone, until they met each other.
I feel like the writers tried to build a similar dynamic with Troy and Britta for a while at the tail end of last season, by making them both out to be kind of ditzy, but that was never really the point of Britta, and Troy's...not 100% that either. IDK, it just makes me really uncomfortable, the way they got shoved together beyond just the physical attraction, which I totally get, because they are both attractive people.
Re: Things You Have Trouble Accepting As Canon
Although I might not be as responsive this week as I would be others because I am moving on Saturday.
I am totally cool with them being fuck buddies! Britta has had a fuck buddy before, and Troy is in a perfect place to have a fuck buddy. I am great with them being good friends looking for a good time, and I am good with the idea that maybe Troy and Abed need a little space even to allow themselves to breathe and their relationship to mature. I am all over that.
I am not ok with what we're getting though. This relationship is uneven and unhealthy. Terrible partners, great as friends. Their relationship makes me uncomfortable and I have probably written what amounts to several papers in emails and various fandom spaces as to exactly why I hate Troy/Britta and the insidious and obvious ways in which is sucks, fails, and needs to die.
Troy and Abed are soulmates, and I don't care how they're together, but the show needs to stop fucking around and just GO WITH THEM BEING SOULMATES. If they're not sexual, that's fine, have them have fuck buddies or something, but they are not compatible for a relationship with anyone but each other right now, and maybe not ever.
