fembuckOkay, I'm sorry to do this to you all. But I'm going freaking insane and I cannot control it for any longer. I have reached my limit. My limit, 'tis reached. WWBC is killing me. Kim Harrison (who shall henceforth only be referred to as Cock Block - or possibly Cock Block McGee - by me) is killing me. *grabs hair and tugs and pulls*
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I've been patient. We all have. We have all been patient. Six books is fucking patient. But I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. I'm like having actual physical symptoms due to the intense irritation and hateration (love you, Mary J!) Book 7 is inspiring in me.
Now, I'm pretty sure that if you've read Book 7, you probably know the scene I got to, promptly threw my hands up in the air and was like all:
Yes, it is the scene where Rachel goes up to the belfry to get her demon book or whatever and Mr. I'm Fucking Irrelevant and Exist Only to Cock-Block volunteers to help her go look for it, because god forbid Rachel climb some stairs and carry a BOOK on her own.
You know what happens in this scene, and I knew it was coming. Really, I did. We all knew it was coming the moment Mr. I'm Fucking Irrelevant and Exist Only to Cock-Block was invited to dinner, and we really knew it was coming when Robbie and Mr. I'm Fucking Irrelevant and Exist Only to Cock-Block got their bromance on over Alice's cobbler pie or whatever. But even knowing that it was coming, I was not at all prepared for the reality of it ... or my reaction to it coming to pass. It was just so much more horrible than ever before this time.
I mean, Rachel/Crap for Brains ... aiight, whatevs. I actually liked Nick in the first and second book, and found him constantly being referred to as Crap for Brains in the fourth book hilarious. I dealt with it. Rachel/Kisten ... Kisten was an alright dude, Ivy liked him, and he was a not so secret Ravy shipper. Dude, also kept pressing for a threesome, which, you gotta respect. If I was him, I'd try to bang Ivy again while dating Rachel too. In fact I'd just watch them. So Kisten, I could deal with. I could probably even deal with Rachel/Mr. I'm Fucking Irrelevant and Exist Only to Cock-Block (if I skipped all of their scenes together, which I have been anyway, so HA!). But I accidentally spoiled myself for what's gonna happen with Ivy and ...
Seriously, Cock Block. WHY? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? I'M A GOOD PERSON! I PAY MY TAXES! I LIKE PUPPIES AND KITTENS AND BROWN PAPER PACKAGES ALL TIED WITH STRING! SO, WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!?!?!?!
*hyperventilates* *breathes into a paper bag*
I cannot pick up this book without my stomach clenching and a wave of exhaustion washing over me. I just want to hide under a blanket and sleep until Cock Block makes the pain go away. I literally have not been able to open the book in days!
Me: What the fuck is it with you? What don't you fucking understand? You got any fucking idea about, hey, it's fucking distracting having Ivy hooking up with a dude when she's head over heels in love with Rachel! What don't you get about it?
Cock Block: Some nutball said he wanted Ivy to hook up with a guy.
Me: Ohhhhh, goooood for you. And how was it? I hope it was fucking good for nutball, because everyone else is pissed off, aren't they? You are trashing my femslash!
Cock Block: Janine, I was only...
Me: You've done it one too many fucking times, and I ain't picking up another book unless there's Ravy. I'm fucking serious. You're a nice chick. You're a nice chick, but that don't fucking cut it when you've been fucking cock-blocking Ravy action for seven fucking books. Seriously, you and I, we are fucking done professionally.
Seriously, it's like:
SHIT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN, BITCHES!
And ... I feel better now.
Once, again, I apologize for this bout of insanity, but I needed to get that off of my chest.

Date: 2009-03-26 12:12 am (UTC)No. I put the book down in disgust after Rachel and Marshall did it, and I haven't picked it up since. I've opened it, but not been able to make myself start reading. It's like a chore. It's broccoli. The book is broccoli to my right. It's worse actually, because at least broccoli is good for me.
I felt that the Ravy scenes got a bit better by the end of it.
I'll finish the book. Probably in the next week or so, but I'm sure I'll finish it.
I just really don't have any faith right now in getting the ending that I desire, and it's hard for me to want to continue battling through the tough parts for those little moments of sunshine that inevitably cloud over again. If I believed Cock Block would give me Ravy in the end, I would follow her til the ends of the earth. However, all I believe in her ability to do is cock-block right now.
Cock block never meant to write Ravy from the beginning is putting me off again.
She's not committed to them like that. She likes teasing, but it wasn't what she envisioned when she envisioned Rachel, and it's not going to be Rachel's end game. It actually wouldn't surprise if Cock Block DID have them sleep together and try the relationship route, only to realize they are better off as friends (possibly platonic soulmates) and Ivy will get her anonymous female for a happy ending, and Rachel will end up with some guy (probably Trent) and I will bang my head against my desk until I can force myself to forget it ALL.

Date: 2009-03-26 12:24 am (UTC)It's funny though, reading all the comments on Cock Block's website, how many people are urging her to continue with Ravy. It's very hard to ignore the rightness of Ravy, the way it turns out by the end of the book. Even the heteros can't avoid/ignore it anymore.
no subject
Date: 2009-03-26 12:30 am (UTC)I want to! I really want to! My level of hate right now should indicate my level of love, because ranting like this doesn't come from indifference. I want to believe if Cock Block and Ravy, Cock Block is just making it difficult for me at the moment.
Knowing that we find out who killed Kisten this book does make me actually really want to finish it, just on a plot level. We do find out who killed him right???

Are the heteros really clamoring for Ravy? Are there really a lot of comments on her page about keeping Ravy alive? Please tell me it's true! You may actually be able to cheer me back up, and make me believe that Cock Block might actually keep cock-blocking forever.

Date: 2009-03-26 12:34 am (UTC)Yes, there have been multiple comments of how it's getting a bit ridiculous why Rachel and Ivy aren't already together from the het crowd.
no subject
Date: 2009-03-26 03:26 pm (UTC)Thank god for this! It's nice to know that everyone isn't burying their head in sand like Rachel. I mean, it's really ridiculous. They should clearly be together. If Cock Block thinks that after 7 books (plus however many more are to come) that any end besides Rachel and Ivy getting together would be believable (or has even really been set up) then she's on some wonderful drugs ... and should share them with me!

Date: 2009-03-26 12:40 am (UTC)I wouldn't quite say clamoring, and there are still enough idiots talking about Trent or Al, but I think the pro-Ravy comments seem to be more than the other crowd these days. Plus some of the comments that I saw of the yahoo group made me think that the tide is shifting, just slightly.
Then again, it's Cock Block. She will find a way to mess things up and tease us more.
All I have to say is, finish this book, and then feel free to consider it as your Buffy season 5. If things get shitty in the next book, you can use WWBC as your jump of point for glorious Ravy fics.

Date: 2009-03-26 03:29 pm (UTC)Yeah, I'd hurt that. I don't care. At this point, I just want SOMETHING to be resolved.

That's nice to know at least. If there is a large group of people supporting Ravy - even though it's not unanimous, which things never are - it gives me a bit more hope that Cock Block would be willing to go there.

This is what I fear.

Mm, I like that idea. WWBC is offically my Buffy Season 5 (which I actually didn't hate). Let's see where it goes.

Date: 2009-03-26 12:46 am (UTC)Guilty!
Are there really a lot of comments on her page about keeping Ravy alive?
I've mentioned it a few times in a few places but I'm not gonna spam her with it cuz I'm sure she reads it plenty as it is. She knows what we want by now, I really don't think inundating her is going to change anything...
no subject
Date: 2009-03-26 03:33 pm (UTC)This is exactly how I feel. It's not like she's unaware of the fact that people like/want Rachel/Ivy. Ulitmately she's going to do what she wants to do, and I think bombarding her with 'you have to do this or else' would just irritate her. I just hope that what she wants to do, is also what makes sense and would provide a satisfying end to the series, namely Rachel and Ivy riding off into the sunset (or should that be sunrise?) together.
