User blog:Corbierr/My thoughts on.....JOY.

Joy Mercer. The almost-chosen one who has been the object of a lot of hate for much of season 2...I actually like her. Here's why.

Likes-

-SHE. SAVED. FABIANS. LIFE.

-SHE. SAVED. NINA'S. LIFE.

-She seemed more misunderstood than actually bad to me. I mean, she felt replaced and upset and abandoned. What she did was bad, but she wasn't bad herself. And when Fabian asked for her help, she redeemed herself, because she finally found her spot in the group. (I'm calling this Jerome syndrome BTW)

-She was actually really cool in the first season.

-She's loyal when it counts.

-The REAL Joy, not the jealous girl we've come to know, is actually pretty cool, funny and a good friend.

-Klazaria is a brilliant actor. I swear.

Of course, Dislikes-

-I know I said how she wasn't bad, but still, what she did with the article was still pretty cruel.

-When she's jealous/in control, I really can't like her. She just gets kind of mean. But hey, she's calmed down now.

-I was really disappointed with her change from season 1. In the first season she was cool and I hoped she wouldn't be like everyone was saying, but no, she had to be just like that.

-I hate how she yelled at Patricia, then claimed everyone had abandoned her. Patricia DID try to stay friends with her, so that was undeserved.

Over all, Joy doesn't really deserve the hate she was given. Sure, she did really bad things, but who didn't? Everyone love Patricia and Jerome despite Rufus and all the other bad things they did, so why can't Joy be the same?

Like I said and will keep saying- she was just misunderstood. Not bad. Big difference. Joy just really loved Fabian, and felt like Nina replaced her. And honestly, it almost did seem true, because Patricia, Amber and especially Fabian all turned to favor Nina after the one year absence. She just went about it the wrong way.

But now she's friends with Fabian, and even saved his life, risking herself to do it. And hey, SHE SHIPS FABINA NOW.

In all, Joy's cool, at least to me. She did bad things but redeemed herself.

Next...Trudy. :D
