To be perfectly truthful, I honestly find the whole going to the screen thing a tad strange, strange but understandable. I myself have never done such a thing nor do I think I will, no matter what love I have for a character. The most I do is cringe, look away, or just groan and dread when something bad happens to that character.
The strongest toon girls I have ever done that for are Sailor Jupiter and Frankie, no other has really had that strong of an effect on me and I'm pretty equally devoted to each of them. My closest form of venting would be what I do in fan fics with characters I feel I want to make happy because of their mistreatment on the show.
And those two I mentioned are no exception to being mistreated by their shows creators. Bad as "Peas" was, I can easily watch that episode again despite how much it sucked over the abominable "Imposter's" (I won't even dare glimpse at "Surprise for you" again). But what Frankie said in "Peas" truly was the worst thing she's been through.
Frankie has been through hell in quite a few episodes, sometimes it didn't bother me "Bloooo!", "Store Wars". Other times it REALLY bothered me "Imposter's", "The Big Peas". But the amazing thing about her was she was strong enough to bounce back from anything, even at the end of "Imposter's" she sprang back.
Which is one of the biggest problems with the ending to "Peas". Frankie sprang back from the news crew disaster with that poor house idea, it was a sign of her strength as a person who endures SO much from SO many. What's worse is as Cass said, to actually HEAR her call herself a loser, it's unthinkable.
Its almost heartbreaking to think she would EVER use such a word to describe herself, she is anything but a loser considering all the things she does for everyone. |
No offence taken, don't worry about it. As I said way back in the old thread, we each deal with our feelings in different ways. Believe me, it wasn't something I'd planned on; it just happened, that's how strong my feelings were.
The hardest part about all of it was hearing Frankie calling herself a loser. We might expect Bloo to call her that, and we'll roll our eyes and be annoyed with him, but to hear
Frankie say that of herself... wow. That caught me completely off-guard. All the hard work she does around that house, all the cooking, the cleaning, maintainence work, gardening, shopping, and sticking with it year after year because she's dedicated to doing so and because she believes it's the right thing to do, that is so
not a loser, not to me, and I dare say not to anyone who considers himself or herself to be a fan or a friend. Foster's would fall apart without her, without this
winner, to hold it together. So I'm going to stop here and say something that I've never heard any of the other residents say but truly needs to be said, and I know in my heart that I speak for many of you as well as I say this:
Thank you, Frankie Foster, for everything that you do.
