Character Manifesto: Friends: Joey Tribianni
Fandom: Friends
Character: Joseph Francis Tribianni, Jr.
Pairings Included in Manifesto: Joey/Rachel
Blurb: OMG Joey, how to describe Joey? He's the friendliest of the Friends. Not the brightest bulb in the box, but underneath the brash, womanizing exterior is someone who is fiercely loyal, a closet romantic, a man who loves with everything in him. In season 8, he began to have feelings for Rachel. It wasn't until season 9 that she began to have feelings for him. They didn't get together until the end of 9/beginning of 10. Then the writers broke them up and made Joey revert to his womanizing ways, undoing all of the character growth he'd gone through. (I'm not bitter at all./sarcasm) Sadly the Joey/Rachel portion of fandom is kind of small, there are so many more good fics out there but a lot of them are unfinished. So my 10 res here are finished ones. Now, have some Joey/Rachel pics.
