User blog comment:Corbierr/The Friendships of Anubis, and why we should love them (even if the writers didn't)/@comment-8131762-20140522015539/@comment-4816103-20140522022750

AGREED SO MUCH.

Namber- Yessss.

Joytricia- EXACTLY! Patricia did nothing wrong, she was doing exactly what she had to do. Joy just really messed up by refusing to admit she was doing wrong.

May- yep, yep, yep. Only it was worse...because while Joy at least supported Patricia in romance, Mara just sort of treated Joy like she had no choice but to help her. And while Mara's motives were sympathetic, she didn't pay attention to the fact that Joy was doing her best. It wasn't her fault she fell for Jerome. It was what happened with Joytricia, only even worse... And that's what hurts.

Why do the biggest friendships on this show have to be so one-sided? Why can't the writers use these relationships to develop the characters, not to move the plot along? And why can't they be relationships that are actually ones you could look up to?
