#and like most britta comments sometimes she would be so based and right and sometimes she would be so un-self aware and wrong

[admiral-bennetts-aide-de-camp]

in my heart of hearts i truly believe that the study group had multiple group chats. like a discord server with multiple channels to stay on topic, because discord hadnt been invented yet, and they would never stay on topic. theyre like a discord server that keeps futilely making threads. shirley, annie, and sometimes abed would be the main ones that scold anyone who's off-topic. and abed would be vocal about this. Why make a group chat specifically for study meetups when you aren't going to use it for that.

shirley would also make a girls chat with britta and annie. and jeff, more in retaliation than anything, would make a guys chat with troy and abed. (he forgot pierce on purpose.) Neither are used much.

there would also be a roommates group chat for annie, troy, and abed, created by annie, that incidentally is also a younger generation group chat. Remember those study break mini episodes? Yeah.

britta perry and frankie dart for the character ask!

Sorry it’s taken me forever to answer this! Britta Perry

Why I like her

She’s unflinching in her beliefs (even if they’re sometimes misguided), she’s the heart of the group, she’s HILARIOUS when given the chance to crack jokes, she’s unconventionally smarter than she’s given credit for, she calls Jeff out on his shit early on when he’s still little more than a manipulative ass to the group. I could go on. She’s a gem.

Why I don’t

She’s not always the most understanding toward Abed in S1, but other than that...can’t really think of anything.

Favorite episode(s)

Modern Warfare, Origins of Vampire Mythology, Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations

Favorite season

Seasons 2 and 6 in particular are pretty good for her.

Favorite line

“Shouldn't have worn that petard if you didn't want to be hoisted by it...I guess I just assumed that in the old days a petard was a special outfit like a leotard, with a lot of fancy buckles and loops on it, and that rich people would wear them when they were feeling especially smug, but then poor people would tie a rope through one of the loops, and hoist them up a pole and then let them dangle there as punishment for being cocky.”

Favorite outfit

S1 Valentine’s Day outfit was awesome and made me go, “Okay, yeah, Britta’s bi.” 

And her standard jeans/boots/leather jacket combo slays.

OTP

I’m split more or less 50/50 on the idea that her ideal romantic ending comes with Jeff or Annie.

Reasons for Jeff: The chemistry. The banter. Wearing jaded cynicism to hide inner turmoil. They always fall back to each other.

Reasons for Annie: This is more of an AU, but there’s def. a timeline out there where Annie’s comment about “I only kissed Jeff because I wanted to be sexy and cool like you” sticks in Britta’s mind for longer than it should. In said timeline, the two of them actually bond as good friends after the whole S2 save the pelicans/oil spill incident. Annie slowly realizes she’s gay and they get together late in the show’s run (probably S5 or S6).

Brotp

Troy for sure! They shouldn’t have dated, but their friendship is really important and they relate well to each other.

Headcanon

I feel like it’s not really a headcanon with how many people have broadcasted it over the years, but Britta’s definitely bi. Also, she makes personalized mixtapes for everyone in the study group as Christmas presents with music she knows they like, as well as tracks she thinks they’ll enjoy based on their listening habits during the year.

Unpopular opinion

I prefer late-season Britta’s personality to S1. It’s not her fault she got Flanderized by the writers.

A wish

Delete the episode with her parents or have her friends react accordingly when they’ve literally all gone through some level of familial trauma. Especially Jeff considering Britta LITERALLY helped him deal with facing his dad at Thanksgiving.

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen

If the movie ever somehow gets made...no using “Britta” as a put-down verb.

Nickname

I mean, I don’t have a nickname for her, but I pretty much always write that Jeff or Annie (depending who I pair her with in fics) affectionally call her “Britts” from time to time.

Frankie Dart

Why I like her

She's willing to adapt to the group and to Greendale’s general insanity and works her ass off to make the school better. Also, she has the patience to deal with Dean Pelton’s antics. Mad respect.

Why I don’t

She sometimes takes the whole “I’m in charge” thing a little far early on, but, like, I get it.

Favorite episode(s)

Basic Crisis Room Decorum, Grifting 101, and Wedding Videography.

Favorite season

Season 6 lol

Favorite line

“Hope points!” or “Annie, the world will still need you after you finish your cake...we have the same dragon. Eventually you will slay it, train it, or dissolve in its stomach. Its name is helping others.”

Favorite outfit

Her day 1 “I’m here to fix your school” outfit worked pretty well.

OTP

Honestly, I don’t really ship her with anyone from the group and I think she’s completely fine on her own. Maybe Britta for the “chaotic dumbass/organized list-checker in love” vibes? 

Brotp

Annie is the only right answer for the type A, get shit done solidarity, and for how Frankie becomes her mentor, of sorts.

Headcanon

The group arranges for a birthday party or some such occasion to be held at a laser tag arena and Frankie learns she likes shooting people when there are rules and regulations to it, rather than the utter insanity of paintball.

Unpopular opinion

I don’t think I have one...maybe that she wouldn’t necessarily do well if she had to take over as the Dean? Idk.

A wish

I wish she could’ve had a few more opportunities to show off her fun side (such that it is, as a person who copped to being boring/mundane) like she did at the end of Grifting 101.

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen

I wouldn’t wanna see her get written as a buzzkill in the movie if it ever happens.

Sorry again that this took so long, kind anon!
