Drama Box Question
THi Kim!!! Since its April 1, I can ask my question about WWBC, although its not really a spoiler. Anyway, when Rachel is picking up her brother that the airport, she sees a woman greeting her partner with their children. Then she is sad that her and Ivy's relationship will never be recognized like that. First, awesome scene and a nod to other families. Second, how can Rachel not want to be with Ivy after a thought like that? Seriously, people don't have those kind of thoughts about normal friends. Honestly, I think that Rachel is just so scared she would lose Ivy that she is not even letting herself consider the possibility. Look at how their auras merged to become one in ODW. Ok, I'm done stating my case for time being. I'm lovin' the book!!!~Indy

Cock-Blocks Answer
4/1/09 -- Hi, Indy. It's complicated. Rachel is smart enough to know that some things come with so many attachments, that to follow them will lead to disaster. Yes, you can try, but at some point, it's going to fall apart. Ivy is my tragic figure, and she will be happy when I'm done even if I have to kill her to do it. (just kidding) Ivy will be happy, but it won't be with Rachel. And Rachel is going to have to live with that. --Kim

My Response
That sounds pretty conclusive to me.




The nicest thing I can say is, at least she finally manned up and has stopped intentionally fucking with the hopes of Ravy fans.

So, on the one hand ... I'm free! I no longer do I have to worry about how I'm going to get through 6 more books. The answer: I don't! I'm done. I'm retiring from the stage. Adios. Sayonara. Goodbye. And, there's something in having that resolved at least. A clean break and all that.

Mostly, I'm feeling like this towards Cock Block however:

Because, while she didn't owe me a Ravy ending to the series, she made me hope for it, and for books, and books, and books was tease about the whole fucking thing and so ...




Thanks for the memories!  It was good for a while between us bb, but it got ugly real fast!  Buh-bye.


*gets ready to start programming my brain into believing, utterly and completely, that the series ended with book five*

Looks like it's strictly fanficly from now on ... my heart is sad, but I guess my wallet can rest easy.

*sigh*

So, yeah ... there's that.

how terribly unsatisfying.

and confusing. ivy is the "tragic figure" but ends up happy while rachel has to "live with" the fact that ivy is happy, but not with her? i'm not sure i understand how that is supposed to make sense...

this feels like such a cop out. :(

Oh, I know! It's ridiculous. "Rachel is going to have to live with that?" What the fuck? It goes back to what trancer21 was saying about everything being about Rachel all the time because Rachel is the most perfectest, most specialest, most awesomest person ever. Fuck that, "Rachel will have to deal with that shit", if they don't get together it's because Rachel has actively worked for the entire series to shit on Ivy's feelings for her. So fuck her angst at Ivy finally moving on with someone who loves her. "Rachel will just have to learn to live with that" ARGH!

The very existence of that sentence irritates the fuck out of me.
