December Talking Meme # 5 - Brittany S. Pierce and why she is awesome
For littledust
It's been a while since I've seen Glee but Brittany Pierce is still a favorite! It was her dancing that made me give Glee a second chance. I was so in awe of her dancing!
The more I watched, the more I've come to really like Brittany as a character.
I love Brittany for all her little quiet moments in her little graduation cap taking a moment to herself, that she finally graduated.
I love that she went into a new relationship and learned what its like to be in a relationship. Even if Artie wasn't the person she wanted to be with at that time, she did come to like him.
I love Brittany because when she talks to Becky, she talks to Becky and relates to her.
I love Brittany for standing up for herself and becoming selfish and understanding that her friends with Benefits arrangement with Santana isn't enough for her (even if she did slip). I love that when she said that she needed time for herself she stuck to that and didn't date Artie or Santana.
I love that we saw Brittany have such a hard time when she was left behind but she learned to adjust and realized that staying in one place where she had everything also ensured she was staying in one place where she lost everything and this made her work harder so she will never get left behind again.
I love that she isn't all sunshine and happiness, that she isn't always honest, that she knows her way around the high school social scene and used it to her advantage and to her disadvantage because she played the part so well people really believed she was stupid and easily led around that even Brittany started to believe it.
I love that she jumped at the chance to study at MIT even if it didn't work for her, even if I wished it worked for her because I love the idea of Brittany learning to live in a different place and finding her own place outside of 'Brittany the Cheerio'.
And I really, really appreciate Heather's acting in the quiet moments, in the sad moments, in the moments when Brittany realizes that Santana has to leave Lima, or the terrifying moment where she thought she could have died.
I love that even when she made her return and she was unsure about her passions and her studies, there was a quiet sort of assurance about who she was and it reflected in her interactions with Santana.
I love the sense that there's so many things going on under that facade she puts up.
She isn't perfect but I love her in all her quirkiness and imperfections.
