I'm the G/A shipper lol. Thank you for ur answer!! I do think it would've taken Gregg and Annie more time to come together, and even if I get what you're saying, of it could be them regressing (going back to what they'd already done), it just seemed like it was made to be. Gregg also just didn't seem like he really loved Nancy, and Nancy deserved better.

I had a related question. Why do you think it was SO hard for G to come up with what he liked about Annie? Like I wrote in my original ask, I didn't buy it for a second, and while it seemed to say much more about G to me than G and A's connection, I still hated it. It just seemed to really brush off/completely take out meaning of G and A's connection like it didn't mean anything, which even if they betrayed Nancy, and were very immature about it (with again G deceiving his wife while they were trying to conceive???? NOT OK), they clearly had a real connection, and I do think had genuine feelings for each other. Not to mention their history. What's your take?

(x)

I agree that Greg never seems like he's really in love with Nancy, but I also think it's important to remember that we only ever truly see them as a couple through Annie's POV. We're actually robbed as viewers of moments of intimacy or connection between them because at the end of the day, Annie herself doesn't really want to see it.

I do think there's a fair speculation too that Greg probably wanted the opposite of Annie when their relationship imploded and so sought a person like Nancy as a sort of marker of an 'adult' relationship, which is especially interesting because I think the show does a good job of depicting Greg as pretty immature still himself. There is the sort of vibe that Nancy probably parents Greg a bit in that relationship, but for a man who became a father himself when he was a boy, it makes a lot of sense.

Which really comes to your question of why Greg couldn't come up with anything he liked about Annie when she asked. I totally agree with you that I think he could probably list a lot of things he liked about Annie, but I tend to think there are a few things at play.

Firstly, and funnily enough, if I were to compare Greg to other characters in the show, the one I tend to think he's most like is actually Beth. He maintains a performative life that it's clear he's not happy in, he tries to be a good father but doesn't always make it work, he's prone to being selfish, finds himself backsliding into a relationship he thinks he needs to move on from, and is overall reluctant to being vulnerable or emotionally available. That's Beth! And honestly, I think it makes sense for Annie to seek that in a man given her most formative relationship in life is with her sister. (It's why I'll forever be mad too that we never got any Beth + Greg scenes!)

Of course, Annie's not that much better - she deflects with humour and he lets her, but when she circles back to vulnerability, which she usually does, he can't bring himself to be open with her about his feelings which is I think clearest in their scene together in 1.09.

And then she deflects, again, with a joke.

I talk about it a lot in the context of Beth and Rio where I think the show does a really good job of depicting that some dynamics are really hard to change. Whether its Beth and Rio's inherit omissions of truth and their games, or hell, even Beth as the placating, mothering housewife and Dean as the philandering breadwinner, a dynamic established can sometimes feel like a dynamic immovable, and I do think a part of that is what's at fault with Annie and Greg. It's why they so often become kids when they're together again, but I think is also why the space to be honest and open with each other is often seen as a chance to joke or shrug off or make light of everything that was once, and still is, real between them.

It's not to say they don't feel it, or that they don't know. It's just easier to not say it and to not have to deal with the consequences of what it actually means.

#thanks for this!#i ended up watching a bunch of scenes again to try and find that annie and greg one and OH the overwhelming sense of affection i had #for this show #immediately resurfaced #haha #i think i might be ready to finally rewatch in full #annie x greg #nbc good girls #annie marks #greg #welcome to my ama #gg asks

Girato nel 1976, due anni prima del rapimento e dell’assassinio di Aldo Moro da parte delle Brigate Rosse, il film di Petri costruisce una sorta di profezia rovesciata: è il capo del partito, Aldo Moro, che massacra i quadri politici della Democrazia Cristiana per evitare la rovina del paese, per fermare la corruzione del potere politico. Il “pastore” in una fase di crisi estrema, non riuscendo a guarire il suo “gregge” lo elimina personalmente in un’apocalittica cerimonia sacrificale, e poi si fa eliminare a sua volta. Il film è un annuncio ed è una profezia, annuncia la rovina della Democrazia Cristiana e profetizza la sua distruzione attribuendola ad Aldo Moro.

Campanula

Read on ao3

She waves him inside, “My sister wants to take some pictures - I know, I’m sorry - and then we can get going, okay?”

“Sure,” Greg nods, but she can tell he’s a little anxious. And when he joins her properly in the hall she sees when his eyes catch on Rio and Beth in the kitchen behind her.

“Hello again!” he smiles with a stiff wave. Rio just nods back, eyeing Greg sternly and then Beth is flapping her arms and finding her camera and ushering them in to the living room so they can take pictures against the wall, next to the pink princess philodendron in the corner that Rio had bought for Beth on valentines.

“It will look chic in the pictures!” Beth enthuses as they are shuffled in to an awkward pose next to its heart-shaped leaves, a mix of dark green and glossy pink.

Annie thought it was ugly and plants belong outside, but Beth loved the damn thing.

Why does nobody in the Good Girls tag talk about Annie and Gregg? Like I’m sorry, but I love them (don’t know if that's controversial or not)

Do you think if GG would've gone on long enough, Gregg x Annie would've found each other <3? I just never got the love between Gregg and Nancy. Didn't see it, didn't get it. Especially from Gregg to Nancy.

Now it was horrible how Gregg cheated on Nancy while they were trying to conceive a bb (!!!???) don't get me wrong, and Annie was wrong in her part, and I was real proud she held strong and stopped it. And when Gregg couldn't even say what he liked about A, UGH, it just really cheapened their connection but honestly I didn't buy that at all. Really, the mother of his child, they've known each other forever, but he can't come up with something?

But G x A always had a connection that I just didn't see between G and N, and they had amazing chemistry. He was definitely not ready by s4, he had serious some maturing to do, I do believe that. But there was still this something there between them, ya know? That started in the pilot and never went away. Thoughts?

I totally have a soft spot for them too, anon. Mae and Zach had such great chemistry (although tbh I think Mae tends to have chemistry with everyone, haha), and their dynamic just had a real texture to it, y'know? I enjoyed them a lot.

I hear what you're saying about Nancy, but honestly, I think her and Greg not really having chemistry was deliberate. Nancy is probably Annie's primary narrative foil in the show, especially in the first season - she's not just perceived romantic competition, she's the 'adult' Annie can never quite be. Successful, together, with the big house and the resources that Annie can't provide for her child or herself. Annie undermines that and Nancy's perceived perfection and validates herself by sleeping with Greg and revelling in their more quote-unquote 'passionate' relationship. It's why Annie only really calls things off with Greg when she learns that not only are they trying to get pregnant, but that Nancy's struggling with her fertility - it's the destruction of the image of Nancy as perfect.

But yes, that's not your ask, haha - do I think Annie and Greg would've been endgame if the show had continued? Potentially? I think the show was committed to growing and deepening their relationship, even if it did fall more by the wayside in later seasons, but I don't know if it would've become romantic again. I think it'd be hard to balance without it being a big regression for both characters. So much of their arc apart and together was about breaking free of the arrested development that was triggered by having a baby as children themselves, and while I think finding each other again in adulthood is a pretty romantic prospect overall, I don't know if Greg and Annie ever really get enough distance from each other to come back to each other in a new light?

I do kind of love that though too. There's something to the fact that there will always be this thing between them even if it never quite becomes The Thing again that really gets me.

What do other people think?

You/tumblr notifications, beauty/beast, annie/gregg

why thank you

me x tumblr notifications - apparently this is a fucking NOTP or more like unrequited love at this point :((((

beauty x beast - look I know this is not a healthy relationship, I know this is problematic as hell, but I would be betraying my younger self if I said anything other than OTP (also I refuse to acknowledge the live action one so this is purely based on the cartoon)

annie x gregg - OTP? Gregg is my fave of Annie’s love interests on the show and I wouldn’t be angry if they somehow ended up together.

send me any ship and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

#ask games #thankssss #i feel like i'm the lone annie x gregg shipper haha #whatever

2 for Annie x Nancy! 17 for Beth x Rio!

I no longer have the link for what this was for but I had saved the prompts, and look what happened!

Annie x Nancy - with relief

“You ever feel like we give our bad decisions too much credit?”

Annie says this as Nancy watches her get dressed, dressed in a robe herself. She’s home so she doesn’t have to wear normal clothes and that makes Annie feel a little pissed, because she could use a nap after the workout they’ve just had.

“What do you mean?” Nancy asks, tilting her head and furrowing her brow the way it does when Annie says something she doesn’t understand, which happens a lot.

“I mean, people do stupid shit and write a love song about it. You know? We romanticize everything to excuse shitty behaviour. Eric Clapton fell in love with his best friend’s girl and then wrote a song about how she rejected him and he persistently pursued her anyway, and it’s his most famous song! I mean, are we, you and I, shitty people?”

Nancy smiles and gets up, stopping close enough for Annie to smell her shampoo. She begins to undo the buttons she’s just done up, and Annie is about to remind her Ben is due home from school soon, when she realizes she’s redoing them, lined up the right way this time. In her attack of neurosis, she’d missed a couple of them.

“Have you been writing some songs about us?” Nancy asks, smiling down at Annie’s worried frown.

“No.”

“Then, I think we’re good.”

“We shouldn’t be sneaking around. It feels wrong.”

“You’re right,” Nancy says, smoothing her palms up Annie’s chest and over her shoulders. “So, let’s stop sneaking around.”

“Really?”

“I’m not ashamed of this. Maybe a little...surprised, but definitely not ashamed. Are you?”

Annie smirks, already melting under Nancy’s soft gaze. Post-sex Nancy is soft. Who would have thunk?

“No,” Annie replies, wrapping her arms around Nancy’s waist, pulling her in close and tiling her chin up to kiss her chastely. When she pulls away, she sighs with relief, but visibly stiffens instantly at the thought of exposing their month long affair, or whatever, to Gregg.

Ben has his suspicions. Annie can tell in the way he takes his time opening the front door when he’s seen Annie’s car parked outside Nancy’s house, and the way he takes extra noisy steps coming up the stairs. The way he smiles knowingly at them on movie night before excusing himself early to hang out in his room. But Gregg. Gregg is clueless, and therefore unpredictable.

“This is good,” Nancy assures her, then, a fleeting spark of doubt in her eyes when Annie doesn’t immediately agree. “Right?”

Annie inhales deeply.

“Unfortunately, your neurosis and obsessive nature haven’t yet surpassed how good you are at sex.”

Nancy rolls her eyes and gives Annie a playful smack on the arm as she turns away, but she’s pulled back before she’s all the way out of reach.

Annie holds onto her, making sure she has her attention when she says, “You’re also a great mom. And the best at late night chats. This is good.”

Nancy looks at her like she often does lately; like she’s trying to figure out how the hell it is that this is actually working, and Annie doesn't blame her. She’s spent nights trying to figure it out herself, but she figures some things just don’t require an explanation.

Her mouth opens and her breath hitches like she’s about to say something, but then she doesn’t and Annie waits, joke at the ready, teetering on the tip of her tongue when Nancy suddenly says, “I love you.”

It’s Annie’s turn now to open and close her mouth like a fish, uncharacteristically speechless at the confession. Her heart races then, her palms immediately begin to sweat, and her brain is at a standstill, she can practically hear the record scratch before panic sets in. Why is she speechless? Is this bad? But then, she’s speaking, the words stumbling out of her before she knows what’s happening.

“I love you, too.”

And it’s like instant relief. As if the sound of the words alone set everything into place, and right. The nerves are good, the panic is good. Because for once, Annie can place it on something, and it’s not regret or impending doom. It’s the feeling of having something to lose, something to fight for, something to protect in addition to Ben.

Nancy smiles and she exhales a laugh as Annie pulls her into her arms.

“Oh, thank god!”

Nancy kisses Annie, holding her face in both hands as she does so. She then sighs, burying her face in the crook of Annie’s neck as they hold each other.

Annie can’t help the dumb smile on her face, or the way she immediately inhales Nancy at given the chance. A year ago she wouldn’t have known what to do with the feelings doing so would stir, but now it just feels like home–like family.

Beth x Rio - After an argument

They’ve fought before, but not like this, because it’s not really a fight. But Elizabeth’s been antsy, and sensitive. He’ll be the first to admit that they’ve said ugly things to each other before, and that he can be particularly hurtful when he wants to be. Certainly he’s said things to her that have made her flinch, but he’s never seen her just grow silent like this. There’s something in the way that she flinches at his words this time however that really and truly makes him feel like the scum of the earth–a feeling he has ever only associated with Marcus and the look on his face when he’s disappointed about Rio missing something important.

He’s certainly used to sitting with the feeling, but what he’s not used to is the counter argument he expected to get in return but doesn’t seem to be getting. There’s no snappy comeback, or smartass remark, or now-it-all sass he’s used to getting from her and that’s...that’s an added blow. That makes him feel especially low.

Beth has been obsessing over shopping for the kids a lot lately. So much so that she’s become distracted. She almost cost them a deal just the other day by excusing herself every five minutes to check her bid on some ridiculously expensive, extremely rare collectible for Kenny.

The kid moved out of his mother’s house completely, has decided to live with his dad save for weekend visits, and even those have become sporadic. In turn, Elizabeth’s decided to shower him with gifts that do nothing except drain her bank account, which is what Rio says to her when the fight about the meeting is in full swing.

“Why does it matter!” She snaps, face glued to her laptop. “It’s my money, so don’t you worry about it.”

It’s been a long day. It’s been a long day and he should have walked away, but–it’s been a LONG DAY, and he is running out of patience, so as he loads the dishwasher, his back to her still, he opens his mouth and lets the words slip before he can filter them.

“Yeah, well, buying him crap he’s going to forget about in two months isn’t going to make him magically hate you less.”

The silence is not just deafening exactly, but painful. He looks up, ready to receive whatever she is going to dish out, but it never comes. She continues to stare at the computer screen, clicking idly, swallowing audibly, her eyes welling up and just before he can say anything to save the situation, she’s gotten up and quietly excused herself. Seconds later, the door to the bedroom slams shut, and that is how Rio’s found himself knocking, locked out for the first time in--well, ever.

“Elizabeth,” he starts softly. “I didn’t mean that, come on.”

“It doesn’t matter,” he hears her say. “All he knows is I got his dad shot and then caused a divorce. I’m the reason he has to live in a tiny one-bedroom with a second hand pull out sofa.”

And well, he doesn’t quite know where to start.

“He’s a teenager! Teenagers are dicks. It’s the natural order of things. He’ll grow out of it, trust me. And if dumbass Dean is half as decent as you keep saying he is, he’ll talk some sense into him.”

There’s silence in return, and he gives her a moment before giving the door another knock.

“Elizabeth?”

The door opens a second later and she’s standing there, blotchy and teary eyed, and beautiful.

“I’m a terrible mother,” she chokes.

“Hey, come on.”

He tugs at her hand, and again when she resists, finally holding her against his chest while she sniffles into his shirt.

“I just want him to like me again.”

“I hate to break it to you,” he says, pausing to drop a kiss on her crown, hoping it’ll cushion the blow, “but that might not happen until he goes off to college.”

She groans before finally pulling back enough to look at him.

“Were you this horrible to your mom as a teenager?”

Rio laughs, “No. If I even thought about talking back I’d be in a world of pain.”

She frowns, and he finds himself tucking her hair back without thinking about it.

“You’re a good mom.”

“I guess.”

“You are and you know it. You want to take a bath? I’ll bring you a drink, light some candles.”

She smiles then and he thinks he might be getting her back tonight.

“Co-baths are for after fights. That wasn’t really a fight.”

“I was thinking you could take one alone, but I like where your head’s at.”

He leans forward and drops a kiss on her neck, nipping her collarbone and getting a throaty laugh that feels like a victory.

“Okay,” she says before meeting him for a chaste kiss. “Why don’t you start the bath…”

“Okay.”

“But run it slow because this ebay auction ends in twenty minutes and I really think I’m going to get it.”

“What?”

“Twenty minutes!” She calls as she runs past him, back to her computer, but now in better spirits, so he relents, making a mental note to give the kid a talk the next time he gets a chance.
