#literally it is FASCINATING how ppl will fill in the gaps in canon

[jennycalendar]

saw this take online and —

this proves my point so hard re: the total lack of cohesion when it comes to What The Fandom Thinks Happened With Jenny, bc the general take varies between the canon-supported but deeply messily written “she didn’t know” and the not canon-supported but easier to swallow “she had some idea that this could happen and was therefore at fault, removing any nuance/complexity from the scoobies’ reactions,” but THIS takes it a step further and i gotta preserve this take for science

i unironically really wanna write the fic where jenny actually was sent to sunnydale to straight up murder angel. it would have the energy of a forties screwball comedy and it would be a mess.

#jenny calendar #literally it is FASCINATING how ppl will fill in the gaps in canon #rather than actually rationalizing from the data we are presented with #it will be extrapolated that she had to have known #bc if she didn’t know then the way that the scoobies treated her becomes so genuinely horrific #so it is just easier to Not Look There and lean into the bad writing….. #(also i did have to censor out the antiromani slur here #bc god knows our fandom looooves throwing that one around!)
