Fucking Valetine's Day. Fucking Politics.

[redbrunja]

Okay, so I am caught up with Parks & Rec and I am.... not thrilled.


I don't know if it's because of my complete burn-out with real-life politics or if something in the episodes themselves bugged me but I really did not enjoy Campaign Ad or Bowling for Votes. And I hate how dumb April seemed. BUT I GUESS THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK FUCKING MORONS LIKE ANDY. (That said, she was the only thing that made Bowling for Votes worth watching and she looked ridiculously smoking in the Valentine's Day episode.)

I was a bit more entertained by Operation Ann but I hate hate hate the thought of Ann and Tom together. Like, loathe it. Remember one episode ago when he was whining about his finger? For Ann, he would basically be Andy redux. If you really need A Man on Valentine's Day, date Ron fucking Swanson. Also, as a moral for a Valentine's Day episode, I would much rather have 'sometimes you're alone on Valentine's day and your friends are all in love and it sucks' than 'give that lame dude you turned down 1,873 times a try - something good might happen.' (Truefax: I have been the girl who is alone on Valentine's Day when everyone else is in love before and it sucks but giving that lame dude that I turned down 1,873 times WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE MISTAKE. WHICH I HAD ENOUGH SPINE NOT TO MAKE.) And I know that, like, Ann and Tom where having fun together but making it romantic makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

I don't know why, but your whole rant reminds me a lot of Occupy Valentine's Day (http://occupyvday.tumblr.com/).

And... that is all I've got to contribute to anything.

That is delightful.

I think I will celebrate VDay by a) acing my econometrics quiz and b) coming home to sob over my OTPs because their fictional love will last forever.

I actually have a date and I am SO FUCKING FREAKED OUT ABOUT IT. If it wasn't important to him, I would totally be ignoring V-day.

Dates scare me under ordinary circumstances. Sending good thoughts your way <3

Hmmm. Valentine's Day has exactly zero value to me, so I probably won't do anything special nor celebratorially ordinary. :/

If I liked chocolate, February 15 would be important ;)

zomg - if I didn't have diabetes, Februay 15th would be wonderful~<3

I would be open to Ann/Ron. At this point though - and I do kinda like the idea of Ann/Tom but maybe just from a fanon POV - I want Ann to have a story! Outside of men! What is it, going on two years since there was a story about Ann that didn't involve dating or penises? It's the weak link in the show right now, and it does suck that in an episode that started with Galentine's Day (and was fun), the ladies sat around talking about dudes.

I mean. Really?

But Ben and Leslie still put sparkles in my eyes, and Ron Swanson needs to be a real person already <333 I am particularly irked at the lack of Ron x Leslie icons in the world. BFFs forever, okay? And a little sidetracked here.

Someone else who does not like Andy! Let's huddle in our corner and gossip about how dumb he is and how much I do not like him and how much I wish April would run away with Ann and come back with a plan for world domination. April and Ann becoming best friends would be an amazing thing, because it would move them past the Used To Date Andy affiliation and Leslie would be ecstatic and they're both really awesome ladies with a sense of dry humor. They should be best friends already.

I completely agree that Ann needs more to do (and more non-romantic relationships). Can her and Donna hang out again, please? Because when they did it was totally awesome. And was just thinking about how the last P&R V-day episode was about Leslie realizing her bf kinda sucked and April telling her gay boyfriends to fuck off, she was going to hang out with someone who made her happy and treated her well (which, I hate Andy, but I do support ladies not taking ship from their gay boyfriends) and this episode was ALL ABOUT ROMANTIC LOVE. You can be better, P&R, I know you can.

Or shoot, just good Ron icons. But yes, I totally want Ron to be real so that we can hang out.

That would be AMAZING. And here is the thing about Andy - I DO NOT understand how people could find stupidity attractive and/or funny. It just makes no sense to me. I just want Andy to die.

They really should.

NGL I was hoping for another end of Ann's storyline (*cough*Ron*cough*). They've been keeping her fairly busy with Leslie/job(/Chris) storylines for a while, but nothing that really lasts more than one episode. I'm not... happy about a romantic plotline, but personally I don't really think it's going to be particularly serious. With Tom. Please God.
