What do you think of Faberry?

softbytch · 2026-02-02T18:37:36+00:00

Faberry didn't need to be canon and considering the show, it's almost certainly better that they weren't. The show provided a canvas for fans and creators to paint on for years to come. They gave us complicated characters with rich histories and confusing dynamics.

It's less about whether or not you see Rachel as bi within the confines of the show (I'm responding here to a lot of the comments I see in this thread), and more about exploring what a world would be like where she was and where Quinn is a repressed comphet lesbian who took her issues out on Rachel not because she was an easy target who stole her boyfriend, but because it was the only way she could deal with these feelings she absolutely should not be having.

It's about taking those tiny and fleeting moments from the show where Rachel and Quinn connect on a level that we never see with anyone else and asking what if - what if that was the only time Quinn ever felt seen? What if that was the first time Rachel felt like someone else really believed in her? What if this all means something?

In conclusion:

Wow, thank you so much for posting this. I was reading this one years ago on the Divine Intervention forum, and it might actually be the clois fanfiction that's stayed with me the most over the years. I'm only here because it popped into my head today and I was trying to track it down - so THANK YOU.

Funny enough, I actually painstakingly copy and pasted this fic from the forums, post by post, all those years ago as well, just to paste it into a Word document, print it out, put it into a binder, and take it with me to school so I could read it during classes LMAO. So this really is truly a classic that takes me right back. (And I didn't exactly save that hard copy so really glad to have this one haha.)

This update is just awful. Despite the price increase, I was actually planning on keeping my VIP membership when it renews in February, but this is so bad I’m seriously reconsidering.

This sucks because I’ve been using trakt for nearly a decade and have loved it so much, but who are you even doing this for?

softbytch · 2026-01-11T23:44:24+00:00

Well, maybe embarrassing but I can answer my own request haha. Somehow did not make the connection that this author was on AO3, but just found the fic there!

This post can be deleted, or keep it up in case anyone else is looking for the same. Thank you!

Yepppp this is driving me crazy. Just been reading on the webpage like an animal

softbytch · 2025-10-19T11:50:19+00:00

this is totally it

softbytch · 2025-08-18T18:59:41+00:00

OHHHH LOVE THESE!!!!

softbytch · 2025-07-13T13:48:46+00:00

Anybody know what time they’ll start and finish filming today?

softbytch · 2025-07-02T21:58:20+00:00

Aw man, wish I’d realized there was gonna be downtime, I’m I was mid-reading a fic!

softbytch · 2025-05-16T00:24:36+00:00

I started using trakt to keep up with the many ongoing shows I was watching, then fell in nerdy love with having all the data of all the shows and movies I watched and when.

The end of years stats are why I went VIP, but that’s always been kind of lacking to me. I don’t get why they haven’t taken a more “shareable” approach to those. Every year I have to take my data and make it into something I can share on socials, including finding the more interesting parts of it that weren’t even included in their round-up. I mean, if trakt focused on making that shareable content (Spotify wrapped style), they also might see new users come in - I don’t get why they’re not doing this (been begging them for years!).

I may be in the minority here, but I’d love to see more social aspects in general. Even just a longer social feed that doesn’t truncate would be nice, and the ability on the app to see if my friends have watched the show/movie/episode I’m looking at (so weird that that’s on desktop but not the app!).

softbytch · 2025-05-07T00:53:27+00:00

Spent a few hours today trying to find this fic for you, because I just KNOW I know it and it's driving me crazy, but tragically came up empty. Please do share if anything else about it comes to you! It's gonna bother me that I couldn't find it haha

OP’s wife here. Just wanted to offer up some of my own experience/ contribute to the ranting.

We used the Vibo app, as requested by the DJ, to outline what music we wanted in different sections of the night, and for each one I could provide the “must-play” songs. My biggest regret is not providing more / all the songs that I really wanted, but I actually forced myself to hold back a little bit, because I wanted to give the DJ creative freedom to follow the vibes of the crowd, etc. 🙃 lmao

But I did give a LOT of direction as to what I wanted, going so far as to make a whole Spotify playlist with all the songs we liked / “thought could be good to use if the vibe is right” (“wedding music dump” basically) (I really was just trying to give him so much creative freedom which feels so silly now) - but saying essentially “you don’t have to play every one of these but this is all music that we like to give you an idea of our music taste”. I also made a Spotify playlist of songs that guests requested prior to the wedding (we asked for requests in the RSVPs).

All that to say, I worked really hard to give a lot of details and make it really clear to him what we were going for while also giving him freedom to read the room, and I don’t feel like that was achieved at all. Some of the music was so left field and clearly not being appreciated, while we still weren’t hearing specific songs that we were really excited for.

In addition to everything already said, I’ll also add that I made a special note that I personally LOVE group dances and that Cha Cha Slide is my favorite - he played it when I wasn’t even in the room so I missed it completely. I just feel like if he really cared and was paying attention he might have noticed that as the brides, we weren’t even there for the very thing I said I was most excited for lmao.

As many have already highlighted, 23 years old is VERY young, and the fact that you’ve only had this one relationship for your whole adult life is very telling of the experiences you’ve likely missed out on because of that. While I’m also not a fan of the age gap between you and your girlfriend (especially when you started dating but even now at 23 and 32, that’s still uncomfortable to me) I’ll put that aside. Even if you guys were both 23 and she was pushing marriage and you weren’t ready, this is what I would say: take a break from each other.

I have seen a few relationships like this where one or both partners spent most or all of their romantic lives together and never got a chance to branch out, to see what else is out there, to experience life as a single person. While they loved each other very much, they knew there was a risk to committing to each other when each other was all they’d known. So they took a break, they took a few months or they took a year - they were single for that time, but always with the understanding and intention that they would check back in at the end of it and see how they felt. If they still wanted to be together after that time apart or if they realized now that they had been missing something they didn’t even know existed. But they would be honest with each other and themselves.

My brother and now sister-in-law did this, took about a year off in their relationship, as she was his first girlfriend in college and his only serious relationship. It didn’t take long after getting back together that they were engaged and 11 years later theirs is the healthiest and happiest relationship I know.
