So I'm an awful fandom participant. Last night I had this big 'relationships in shows' rant typed up with some observations about what I see people criticizing about fictional relationships and how unhealthy they are. Which got me to thinking about real relationships how none of them are healthy or are very problematic in the same ways. It was all very clear in my head last night, but then the partner in my relationship demanded I put the computer down and do his laundry/pay attention to him :/. So it will be happening someday.
Main though however, is that characters with flaws are a good thing. Repeat after me: GOOD THING. No character is perfect, and if they are there are major problems tbh. I would not want to watch a show with perfect characters.
So before I launch on my big long thought out meta rant at an unknown future date, I'll end with my own mini rant which is Vampire Diaries related and under the cut. There are SPOILERS for the episode from 4/19/12 which is either 3x19 or 3x20.
( If you were a boy we'd be cheering for you )
As an update on the River situation: she's staying for now. My husband, who does not even like this dog, refuses to get rid of her. Because she is deathly afraid of thunderstorms and tore up the second bedroom for the dogs he bought an outdoor dog pen, and now wants to keep her outside during the storms. I am skeptical. I am deeply, deeply skeptical that this will work and not end in blood/tears. That's the way things are for now.
