In season 3, Brittany describes the first time she has sex in a disconcerting way. The way I’ve always interpreted this is that there was a chance that Brittany’s “alien invasion” at cheer camp might have been sexual assault. I feel like it’s important to explore that possibility because I rarely see it done, and I promise to do it sensitively and with great care. Always tagged, as well.
Like in canon, Pierce Pierce will not be her real father, but UNLIKE in canon, her father is not going to be Stephen Hawking as I feel like that’s too outrageous even for Brittany. I’m going to bring some realism into that plot and hopefully I do a good job.
Brittany is going to have a close bond with her fellow cheerios (maybe some, but not all - depending on what existing characters want with her) and begin to view the glee club as her family. I’ve always been intrigued by how Brittany really loved everyone in the club at the end of all of the craziness and I definitely want to keep that in tact.
I’m going to have her run for Senior Class President, so that should be interesting.
I want Brittany to little by little see that she’s a lot smarter than she thinks she is / everyone else thinks she is. The “believing in her own magic” arc of season 3 is something i want to channel.
Brittany is going to explore relationships with women, whatever kind of relationships those may be, and start to examine the idea that her bisexuality is more than just occasionally liking “sweet lady kisses” but that she’s open to the possibility of falling in love with a woman.
I want her to start to advocate for people who don’t have a voice and I think that if she wins as class president, or even if she doesn’t, she’ll try and give a voice to the voiceless. The kids who get walked all over and treated like they don’t matter. I want her to do MORE than what she did in canon and turn her into more of a well rounded individual. She’s more than just one liners.
