What's up with all the sudden pezberry talk? Ain't Heather Morris our favourite?
Yes but sometimes I answer questions from anons who care more about Pezberry than I do.

Unearthed [ficlet]
A new hadrosaurid ornithopod from the Upper Cretaceous of North Dakota
Santana Lopez, Samuel Evans - University of ChicagoCretaceous Research
Volume 34, March 2012ABSTRACT
Hadrosaurids are primarily herbivorous ornithopod dinosaurs of the Cretaceous. Here we report a new member of the ornithopoda clade Hadrosauridae from the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota, based on a single, complete skeleton. The discovery of this animal, here named Brittosaurus agilis gen. et sp. nov., adds to the known diversity of hadrosaurids in North America. B. agilis can be identified by a unique configuration of lumbar vertebrae and pelvic girdle. Several additional features contribute to a unique combination of character states that serves to further distinguish B. agilis from other taxa. Comparisons with other hadrosaurids suggest that Brittosaurus was a uniquely agile and flexible ornithopod.
Santana Lopez nervously picked at the seam of her coffee cup. This symposium on body-size evolution and ecology was fascinating, it truly was, but she honestly didn’t come to NAPC this year for anything other than one reason: to see Brittany S. Pierce, and the speaker, who Santana was sure was a very nice person, wasn’t Brittany S. Pierce, nor was anyone else currently present in the room.
Well clearly the writers don't care enough for Brittany to have her own storyline, but I would rather have her be silent than forced to make nice with Rachel. Also, I could tolerate a Pezberry friendship as long as Finnchel breakup and Brittana stay together. I find Rachel infinitely more likeable when Finn is completely uninvolved. ie 3-5% of her screentime.
Okay.
"Appropriating another character for Rachel Berry, especially one of the few characters who hadn't made it impossible for Brittany to like them, was unnecessary in the large scheme of things." Not if they're setting up a Pezberry friendship in NYC. And plan on breaking Brittana up, or at the very least separating them.
Hahahahaahahahaahaha
Oh Glee, worst idea ever.
Sure, it was great to see Santana's character grow by becoming friends with someone she had previously hated, but the lack of time spent on Brittany this season was appalling. Her storylines were second- or third- or more hand in the episode, if they existed at all. Appropriating another character for Rachel Berry, especially one of the few characters who hadn't made it impossible for Brittany to like them, was unnecessary in the large scheme of things.
True, but there are people don’t care about Brittany like we do and see these transgressions as entirely justified.
Becuz she’s just liek a dumb blonde!!111!!!
Pezberry isn't nearly as bad in terms of appropriating things for Rachel. It didn't take anything from Santana. Unlike Finn(tana?) I even saw it as Santana growing and being happy enough to stop actively hating Rachel. You still have Santana calling her out on her crap so it's not like they rewrote her character. What would have been bad would have been any attempt at making Brittany and Rachel friends. Or Brittany and Finn post IKAG. That's just unrealistic.
Okay.
Agreed on Brittany, though. Brittany went from agreeing with Santana that she hated everyone in Glee, to loving them, and then back to hating them again. And I don’t blame her.
I also don't see why Faberry fans weren't upset. It seemed like mean, unnecessary teasing. My theory is that Faberry serves a dark ulterior purpose. The writers clearly realized that by making Quinn and Rachel "friends", they could make even more things about Rachel. This actually occurs fairly often in S2 & S3. For example, you would think Quinn's accident would affect Santana, Brittany, Mercedes, Puck etc. I'm pretty sure Rachel was more visibly affected than all of them combined. Party foul.
They made Pezberry friendship happen so that things could be about Rachel and not about…Santana. Or Brittany, for that matter, and Brittany is far and away the better example of humanity. [/stan]
Well, Faberry shippers were quite upset, so it seemed to me, about the buttload of Finchel. I guess what you mean is that they should have been more upset about the way the writers were Faberry trolling?
Hi I'm the Anon with the original, "is Quinn gay" question. When I was talking about her treatment of boys I specifically thinking on the fact that she treated Sam the same way she treated Finn and Puck even though he was a much better guy. I respect what you say about canon being canon though. Also...Rachel Berry IS annoying.
There’s something about Quinn, ain’t there? She treated Finn poorly at the beginning and then went running back to him in Season 2. Granted, it was nominally for popularity reasons, but the tearful way she reacted in ‘Funeral’ when Finn all but told her that Rachel was better for him seemed to indicate that she had an emotional investment.
That’s what I think.
The sad thing is that many people believe that Faberry would have happened if it weren't for Brittana, which makes no sense. Rachel was always meant to be 100% boy crazy, and I bet RIB were reluctant to make Brittana more than BFFs/fuckbuddies because it meant having 2 female characters that couldn't depend on a male love interest. It must suck to ship Faberry, though. Anything would be more interesting than the done 1000 times before Star Quarterback x Unpopular Girl love story that is Finchel.
At least in the other stories using the Star Quarterback/Unpopular Girl trope, the Star Quarterback wasn’t the deluded “I never hurt anyone real bad” asshole Fink Hudson is.
brittanyisinlovewithsantana replied to your post: just because people seem to ship her with a female character doesn’t mean she’s gay, there are bisexuals, pansexuals, I think Quinn can be sexually fluid if she hadn’t been so restricted throughout her life, but she has been showing a bit of that on the series, specially in the 3rd season.
Up until this season, I didn’t see the Quinn gay thing at all, and I don’t understand why more people aren’t offended at the blatant fan service that the season 3 Faberry scenes were. I don’t like when I feel like I’m being manipulated.
hee hee
try telling that to the people who say that faberry would have been canon if not for brittana

Thanks to a delightful melange of Dianna’s acting choices, the Achele chemistry and the writers baiting the Faberry shippers.
And Quinn isn’t just bisexual to some people, she’s gay diddy gay gay gay to them. “Pressed lemon” I believe is the term used.
could you give an example of how her being a hipster influenced/showed through on her acting?
The fact that people think Quinn is gay.
"As much as I dislike Dianna’s acting choices," what do you mean by that?
I mean Dianna is a hipster and everything that goes with it, and it shows in how she decides to portray Quinn.
Also, been perusing this gymnastics gif site all morning, figured you'd appreciate this.
How straight do you really see Quinn? Before Santana, I always got that vibe from her. Not talking about Faberry. (can't condone that train wreck) She has had several "gay" moments. Aside from Tina, she's the only one who seems to know what feminism is. Moreover, she often treats boys with thinly veiled contempt. I know these aren't true indicators of lesbianism, but they often are in media portrayals. I'd be completely unsurprised if she came home from Yale with a girlfriend. Your thoughts?
I see Quinn embracing bicurious tendencies at Yale, sure (cf. Lisa Simpson). As much as I dislike Dianna’s acting choices, I respect her prerogative to make Quinn look twice at females (because if I did not, I would be a hypocrite), so I accept that Quinn is bicurious. As for her contempt for males, it’s not like any of the males in Glee are particularly worthy of anything but contempt — the only boy who treated her decently was Sam and she left him for Fink Hudson (bad move, Quinn).
But Quinn, at the end of the day, has stated that she’s Not That Into That and that’s what we should operate on because who are we to decide who she is, even if she’s fictional? It’s like people saying Santana isn’t really a lesbian. You love who you love, but based on the trajectory of Glee’s “storylines”, Quinn will always be straight no matter how “gay” Dianna makes her.

Kunoichi [part 5]
I raise the mirror of my life
Up to my face: sixty years.
With a swing I smash the reflection—
The world as usual
All in its place.
— Taigen Sofu (c. 1600)There was no mention of the discovery of a mysterious body in Kabukichō in the papers the next morning. Nishimura had played the part of a wealthy bachelor to the grave, and it was doubtful that the prostitutes formerly under his employ would be making much of an effort to pay his toll across the Sanzu River. It could be days before someone noticed he was missing, and the longer the body stayed cold, the better.
This was the time for Britt to lay low, to let the TMPD run around in circles until they scratched their heads and turned their noses up the unpleasant dirt they’d dug up on the deceased and filed the case under the Kabukichō trademark of “unsolved gang-related murders”. But when she returned to Hachiōji that afternoon, Master Kazuo stopped her and handed her another piece of paper, another name, another set of instructions, before she’d even had a chance to tell him that Nishimura was dead.
Britt took it without saying a word and piled it on top of the jumbled heap of her thoughts.
