The Hollows, done and done!

[fembuck]

So, I finally finished the series! I feel like I don't know what I'm going to do with my days now that I'm not obsessively reading these books. I might actually be able to get some work done (actually, probably not since that's what I'm avoiding doing by writing this message! God, I don't want to mark essays, they's gon' be bad! They's gon' be so bad!)

Thoughts:

1. Marshall equals fail. Don't bring him back, Kim! The parts with him in ODW were like unreadable for me. The first part of the book is like a blur to me, because I was too busy cringing and being bored as fuck to register what I was reading. I don't even know why he disappeared halfway throught the book, I'm just happy he did.

2. The Ivy/David hints made me want to puke.

I'm gonna be honest and say that I just want Ivy with a girl cause there's already an overwhelming abundence of het in the series and I want some GoGA (even if it's not Ivy/Rachel). I was cool with Ivy/Skimmer. I actually like Ivy/Skimmer quite a bit. Like, at least throw the femslashers a bone and give us Ivy with a female please. Television has already presented us with too many bisexual female characters who end up with a dude. Let a lady win for once, please!

Also, part of my hate comes from the fact that I just really don't like David [RPattz]at all[/RP]. Ivy/Rynn is more tolerable to me, in that it only makes me a little queasy instead of on the verge of spewing, but if the Ravy is going to be drawn out, please let it be Ivy/F while Rachel chases after some tool that's clearly wrong for her? Please, Kim? Please? *is so scared that I'm going to have to read Ivy/Davidness in White Witch, Black Curse* I'm begging, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to sit through some puke inducing fuckery in Book 7.

3. Oh, Kim. You giveth and you taketh away. First the orgasm!biting scene of awesome, followed by the coffee cart scene of Let's be platonic friends. *sigh*

Actually, I don't hate where Rachel and Ivy are at this point in time, because I don't really believe they'll be able to maintain this equilibrium for long. Ivy is still totally in love with her and Rachel still has conflicted feelings about her feelings for Ivy. It's pretty much the same as they were before, only Rachel isn't constantly sticking a rusty pin into the open wound that is their 'friendship' by asking to be bitten (and then not putting out) all the time.

4. Ivy continues to be a dreamy motherfucker. Seriously. Lounging around all sexy like reading her magazines about how to leave your shadow begging and breathing. Slinking around scaring any man that comes near Rachel. OMG, the bag of stuff that she put together for Rachel's trip into the ever-after = awwwww x 1000. She's such a good girlfriend. OMG, the sign warning Rachel that she's leaving hallowed ground (she knows Rachel's an idiot but loves her anyway).

Also, Ivy's heart break at Rachel covering up her bite marks made me all misty eyed. The whole, 'you're ashamed of me' conversation was sad-making. Especially since if anyone should be ashamed of anyone it should Ivy being ashamed of Ms. Buses Won't Pick Me Up Anymore Morgan. Her joy at realizing that Rachel was staying with her because she likes her and not because of wanting blood trysts was also a really beautiful moment.

5. Ceri x Quen = cute. Trent = douche.

6. Alice Morgan is pretty fucking hilarious. I really loved how she was all, "Of course you're vampire roomate bites you! How else is she suppose to show she cares?" about the Rachel/Ivy kitchen biting debacle. I also think that Rachel should sit down with her mom on a regular basis (as well as Al now) and learn how to be a good witch. Seriously, it seems to be like everyone is better trained than her and she's just lucky she's got demon blood in her cause she'd have died years ago without it.

7. I like that Rachel is trying to be smarter, even though she hasn't really succeeded in being any smarter. It's good to have goals.

And, it looks like I'm out of things to ramble about now so ... *thinks of other ways to procrastinate*

Then KH WILL KILL IVY TWICE TO SAVE THE KID (AND RACHEL'S WORLD). And Rachel will somehow or another end up with her heterosexual happy ever after and sometimes place blood-stained daisies on Ivy's grave which is next to Jenk's and Matalina's in a meadow of sunflowers.

*SOBS* Oh god, I could see this happening! *SOBS LOUDER*

You're scenario is SO scary, because it seems so plausible.

I'm gonna go on the record and say the moment Ivy dies, this series is dead to me (twice). And if Kim tries to pull any fuckery that makes me hate Ivy, I'm through. Ivy is sacred and I will not stand for K.H's shenanigans!
