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.

Date: 2009-04-02 12:02 pm (UTC)The thing is, she HAS been put into situations like this, and she HAS realized things (ex. The thought of Ivy being what gets her home from the ever-after), but none of this lessons stick. Rachel just goes back to denying everything days (or sometimes seconds) after an epiphany hits her.
Then Rachel realizing how deeply she loves lusts after Ivy and Ivy denying her that relationship and Rachel actually fighting for it and deserving it
The thing is, I don't think Rachel WILL/WOULD fight for Ivy. I think that she would probably just be like, 'Well, I've lost her'. And then we'll be treated to Rachel angsting over the fact that she's lost Ivy, that Ivy has abandoned her for someone else, and even though Rachel is really the reason that things went to shit and Ivy had to look elsewhere for love, Ivy will come off looking like the asshole in the end, because Rachel finally wanted to get together and Ivy turned her down. So, after 12 books (probably) of Ivy suffering for Rachel, fighting for Rachel, and unconditionally loving Rachel, Ivy will finally do something for herself (move on and find someone willing to love her back), and she will suffer for it by having to turn Rachel down, but ultimately Rachel will seem like the more tragic of the two because she'll be alone, while really Ivy suffered more than Rachel could imagine for longer than Rachel is capable of. *is shaking, but I honestly could see it playing out like this*
If WWBC is any indication, three days after Ivy leaves, Rachel will probably be lusting after the handsome dwarf we learn was secretly living in her basement for two years, who she had a powerful connection to while she was at Camp Kalamack.
