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: 2009-04-03 01:16 am (UTC)But seriously what authors give away their game plan? It's like if on the 3rd book of Harry Potter J K Rowling was chatting away to her 'fans' and was like well yeh you know harry dies in the end. but we've just got to live with that.
sure maybe theres a huge number of people that really didn't want Ravy to happen, and whatever that's fine. But don't go and just say basically yeah Rachel and ivy = never going to happen. Because now thinking about reading any upcoming Ravy scenes is totally ruined cause I will just be like yeah big deal nothings going to come of it.
I can't believe that Cock Block will have come up with this amazing paring and then just shit on it. Like she's too scared or something.
I reckon even if Ravy did happen she couldn't write it for shit. And it would be a cop out like old SMeyer.
Personally I will read this series to the end, because once I've started I have to know how it ends. But the joy isn't there like it was for the first 4 or so. (Nothing beats the incident in the van.) But at the start I kinda liked Rachel but now I just want to tell her to shut the fuck up most of the time. I'd rather hear about what Ivy gets up to tvm. Also I'm fed up of reading books where clearly the main lead is who the author wishes they could be.
Let's hope that Cock Block for some mysterious reason cant finish the series (Death or something less horrific) and by chance you are the person asked to finish writing the series. Oh and if by some chance this did happen. Please no shoutbox, and please better website.
Ok I think thats rant over.
Ivy= fictional gf for life.
