There’s been an odd shift in my perception of Faberry. I now want to read fics more from Quinn’s POV than Rachel’s and it used to be the opposite.

When I follow a romantic storyline, whether it’s in a plain romance or a subplot in a Western or a mystery or a thriller, there’s just an inherent sympathy with the main character. Because there needs to be some kind of obstacle for drama, they’re portrayed as underdogs, people who the gorgeous, funny romantic interest wouldn’t necessarily go for (except they obviously always do).

And it’s interesting how that’s gone from season 1’s overly verbose, “ugly” loser getting the beautiful, popular cheerleader to what’s now the status after season 2: deeply unhappy, lost Quinn getting pretty, talented Rachel. It comes from having Rachel see Quinn have at least two mini-breakdowns (and missing a third in NYC) in season 2 alone and ending the season with Finn having picked her over Rachel. Quinn is now in the position of having to fight uphill.

It would be a more interesting turnaround if it wasn’t so sad and heavy-handed.
