The Anti-D/J Thread #49: To them, "soulmates" mean needing each other to break down before reaching an understanding
 

Welcome to the 49th
Anti-Dawson/Joey Thread

"Fifteen years of watching PG movies in your bedroom,
followed by another year and a half pretending to be grown up
only to drop each other at the first sign of crisis?
That's your history?
Come on, man. And you call this woman your soulmate?"

(Let's continue!...)





"The truth is I've never thought of Joey in a romantic context. I've always thought of her
as like a sister. I just don't think I could ever get past that. If Joey and I got together
it would be, a little incestuous
."






Reasons
01. They are way too co-dependent.
02. They held each other back.
03. They use each other as security blankets.
04. They are always 15 and having the same argument over and over and over.
05. They can never be together for longer than 2 months without breaking up.
06. They always have massive arguments, but never resolve anything.
07. They didn't want each other, they just didn't want to lose the other.
08. Dawson almost killed Pacey to win her love.
09. Their sex the first time was so bad, that they almost killed each other and
never repeated their mistake.
10. Their chemistry had no fizzle, like a flat soda.

Quotes
Dawson: Even if Joey came up to me today and said, "I forgive and I forget," I wouldn't.
I wouldn't forget that most of the past year has been a hellish nightmare. It's been
verbalizing and angsting instead of living.



Pacey: Here we go again, kiddies. For the 476th time this hour, our number one billboard chart topper, 'The Ballad of Dawson and Joey'. Will those two crazy kids ever get back together again? Boy, I sure hope so.
Joey: Pacey, would you stay out of it?
Pacey: Of course, far be it from me, lowly creature that I am, to ever tread on the sanctity of the Dawson and Joey dynamic. Sorry, it's just that I find the way that you treat him so fascinating, Potter.
Joey: And how is that, Doctor Witter?
Pacey: Like he's some weird, neutered, little virginal creature.
Dawson: What's your problem?
Pacey: Huh! I don't have a problem. I am but a Greek chorus, here to observe and interpret.
Joey: Pacey, when did you adopt this mean streak?
Pacey: Come on, Joey. You and I, we've always been known for the 'Snap, Crackle, and Pop' of our repartee.
Joey: Right. The good natured banter. But to the best of my recollection, I don't remember it ever being pointed and it's never been hurtful.
Pacey: Or even being taken so seriously.
Joey: But how could I not take it seriously, Pacey? And you said, one harsh, nasty thing after another to me tonight. What did I really do to deserve all that?
Pacey: You didn't do anything to deserve this. The drunken lout in the corner just plead sheer frustration. I mean, honestly, do you have any idea how exhausting it is to exist on your periphery? Do witness this perpetual dance that you two have? One week you're soul-mates, the next week you're giving each other up for the greater good. I mean, do you think it's possible that sometime soon, you could make up your mind? Please? And on the reverence that you treat this little sage of yours with, is enough to make a guy puke.



Joey: I had spent the entire weekend thinking that you had heard everything I had to say on that message and that you came anyway. That you understood me.
Dawson: Joey, as long as I live, I will never understand you. I mean, I had this fantastic weekend. Hanging out with you. Hanging out with my friends. Questions whether or not, I even wanted to go back to LA, and then I wake up this morning to find out that the girl that was so upset that I couldn’t come, could actually kiss me off in the waning hours of Friday night.
Dawson: Joey, I am here. I’ve been here for two days, and only now are we finding a way to talk about stuff that really matters. Like why you left that message. All right? And you know, maybe that is the ending we are supposed to have. Maybe every other attraction that we feel each other is just, fear of moving on, fear of growing up.

Joey: Dawson, how do you know I'm not just a security blanket for you? You know, something
that you'll keep coming back to whenever the world gets scary.

Audrey: They do this all the time, right? No big whoop. I mean, it's normal to fight. It's healthy.
Pacey: Oh, I don't know if healthy's the word I would use to describe their relationship.
I mean, I'm all for "will they, won't they" finally getting their shot, but for two people
to be that dependent on each other for their life's happiness is just--

Audrey: Incredibly romantic?
Pacey: Or perhaps structurally unsound?
Jack: Yeah, I'll second that.





Future Thread Titles
Just two old friends making a big mistake.
Dawson is Joey's past tense.
Dawson & Joey = Past Tense
Because roommates doesn't equal soulmates.
Because 15 years of PG movies don't make soulmates.
Every attraction they felt for each other was just fear of growing up.
Because Dawson's one true love is Dawson.
Because they both ended up with their true loves, not each other.
Because trying to kill someone is not considered a romantic gesture.
Because he saw how much she loved Pacey. He saw it in her face.
Because their romance cheapened their friendship.
If date night is "E.T."... then that's their foreplay.

I had to change the title a little to make it fit.

posterity 06-13-2013 06:29 PM

TFTNT!

I seriously can't believe Dawson started to plan his summer with Joey after he saw the struggle Joey and Pacey had over the last few weeks to pretend they didn't have feelings for each other. It literally look her TEARS in his face for him to budge. :eek:

msstock87 06-13-2013 06:38 PM

Thanks for the new thread!


I felt so bad for Joey in the scene where she was dancing with Dawson, literally breaking down in front of him.

posterity 06-15-2013 02:39 PM

It's sickening that she feels she can tell Pacey how she feels about him only after Dawson tells her it's okay. Then he was like Pacey=Paris as if what she felt for Pacey was some fleeting impulse. Such a sickening episode for Dawson.

msstock87 06-16-2013 04:59 AM

Dawson was just not a good person in season 3. I don't know if they were purposely writing him to be the villain but he came across like that to me. How he treated Joey and Pacey was unforgivable.

What I love is that Pacey NEVER made her choose. "I understand. No ultimatums here."

posterity 06-16-2013 07:09 AM

Exactly. Some people thought that the speech "you're off the hook" was intended for Dawson/Joey, to which I say...when has Dawson ever done a selfless thing in his life? He is physically incapable of letting Joey off the hook. He actually slept with her while seeing someone else because he had to have her at all costs. It is most definately a speech Pacey would make and had they intended the finale to go the Dawson/Joey way, I am sure Dawson's speech to Joey would be completely different...highlighting the fact that he has never done a selfless thing in his life when it comes to Joey.

Seriously when he was "setting her free" in 3x23, he told her it was a colossal mistake and all roads would lead back to him. Ironically it did not lead back to him.:D

msstock87 06-16-2013 01:55 PM

I don't get how that speech could have been for Dawson either. He has never once in her life set her free to be able to do what she wants. Even when he told her she was free, she could do what she wants, he was still basically calling it a mistake and in turn telling Joey she was making a stupid decision.

Basically that's what he did.

I can't see Dawson saying the kitchen speech. It's not in his character. And I have to think that the writers are more creative than just using the same speech they had for Dawson. Plus, we know that Josh put his own touch on it as well.

posterity 06-16-2013 04:51 PM

I just rewatched "True Love" and I hate when Dawson tells Joey to cut him some slack and not to act like she was stuck with him. Umm buddy she was stuck with you. She figured you would never forgive her and so she stuck with you in fear that she would lose her childhood friend. She wanted to be with Pacey and she was forced to stick with you out of friendship loyalty.

I also hate how he was willing to forgive Joey but he couldn't forgive Pacey. How is what Pacey did worse than what Joey did? They were both meant to be his bestfriends and they inevitably felt an undeniable attraction to each other, then acted on it. Why was it easy for him to forgive Joey but not Pacey? Is it because he could not stand to lose out to someone he considered lower than himself?

ChristinaL80 06-16-2013 05:23 PM

It is that and Dawson forgets that Joey actually has a mind of her own.

msstock87 06-16-2013 10:07 PM

I can't stand that Joey seems to forget that she is her own person, whenever Dawson is around. She seems scared and she seems so trapped.

ChristinaL80 06-18-2013 05:47 PM

Funny but true.:D

13 Reasons Why Pacey Was So Much Better Than Dawson

msstock87 06-18-2013 05:58 PM

Haha so true! I literally was laughing out loud, especially at the last one.
