Taking over me

pleasurechest:

At the end of the day, Faberry is the polar opposite of Finchel in many ways. There is absolutely no guarantee of how Faberry could or would play out – and that’s exactly the point. Faberry is about intrigue, the unexpected, the unexplained. It’s about a split-second shot in a 42-minute episode that gets people to ask the question “but what does that mean?”
 
Can the Finchel fandom really use that argument as their own? Finchel has all the answers, but part of the reason for that is their ship doesn’t invite the audience to question what they have seen (except, perhaps, for a horrified “what are you trying to tell your audience with that message?”)
 
Shipping Finchel – it’s simple. It’s easy. You know what you’re going to get. It’s the ship that appeals to the demographics, the ship that will appease the Powers That Be, the ship the show can take to award shows and say “this is our final product”. Finchel is what will bring in the endorsements, and with that, the money Glee needs in order to survival.
 
Problem is, Faberry is what gets them there.
 
Because there are so many stories to be told with Faberry, whereas Finchel is basically a pregnancy away from having done it all. (And if Rachel ends up being pregnant this season, or before she won 36 Tonys, I will never, for the life of me, forgive the writers for ruining what could have been one of the most important characters of all time).
 
You can’t do anything with Finchel that you haven’t already done before.

You can do everything with Faberry that no one has done before.
