@Haley- I totally agree that season one Joy was super cool in the first season. I remember getting angry when everyone was bashing her and writing her as a boyfriend-stealing villain in fanfiction because even if Joy was in love with Fabian, that didn't mean she'd be a horrible character! Nobody gave her a chance and it really upset me, because I honestly thought she wouldn't be that way.

...And then I saw promo for season two and I thought "Holy shit Joy is actually doing this stuff..." I was immediately disappointed at the writers for playing Joy's character like the fanfic writers did. I mean it was never necessary, they just needed drama and they knew half the fans already hated her anyways. There was no real reason for her to be like that. Clingy and manipulative and overly dramatic, as opposed to being, ya know, a ''girl. ''I'll admit that the couple of times she showed some signs of promise I enjoyed her as a character because it showed, hey, the writers aren't making her COMPLETELY bad. And even now I still enjoy those few scenes... even if I can tell that they really did nothing for her as a character other than make her personality inconsistant as hell.

Season 3. She was okay, like you said. In general, a better character. But even still, she wasn't perfect. The fact that her entire development consisted of getting heartbroken, (which, after you explained your POV, I agree now that Fabian was not being overly harsh. However, I do personally think that, since this was FABES of all people, it came off as being harsher than it was mostly because you'd never expect Fabian to do what he did.) QUITTING SIBUNA, getting a makeover and falling for Jerome was not very fun in retrospect because of the fact that her whole character still focused around romance and dating and ''a boy. ''A BOY is why she started this development and A BOY is what changed her in the end. That's...upsetting.

TOR I've made one or two blogs about but since I'm neutral about it (except for some very big things that anger me) I don't think about it too much.

Mara, yeah, I kind of get your point and I'm running about things to say for her haha. And yes, her hair is wonderful.

Jerome....UUXACAC...WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WRITERS WHY WHY WHY WHY?!

@Queenie- I agree that Mara isn't useless, because as I've said before, she could have done so many things but they never let her do anything.

URGH. JOY. WHY MUST YOU BE SO BAD AT FRIENDSHIPS BECAUSE THE PLOT DICTATES IT?
