Kick ass!

And thank you for dealing with that awful little bit of backstory and making it make sense!
Your Jeffery was pitch perfect, and you made that horrible scene where Olivia takes all the blame on herself sharp even when only alluded to.

[wonkots42]

I so hate that Olivia took the blame. The only way I can deal with it is if I take it as yet more evidence of her deep, deep self-loathing.

Glad you liked the update :-)

I wrote it off as a horrible example of the internalized misogyny rampant in all forms of popular culture. it made me want to vomit.

i like your interpretation better.

(and i like all the updates, even the last 4 i didn't comment on. Angst brings the comments.)

I wrote it off as a horrible example of the internalized misogyny rampant in all forms of popular culture.

Well, that is what it was, no doubt about it. But in the context of this story and writing this character I need to make it something else, because I just can't accept it. At all. Bah.

it made me want to vomit.

That's about the size of it. It was disgusting.

Oh, tiny curse on kissmychakram and the horse she rode in on ;) Angst is no good, no good I tell you!

Ok, just needed to get that out. Whew.

This chapter works really well for how I see Olivia's character... she's really going to need convincing that she's good enough. But I trust you with that ;)

[wonkots42]

Oh, don't blame her - I was going to do it anyway :-)

I'm glad this works for you because this is really how I see Olivia - chock full of shame and self-hatred. I blame her mother, frankly.

Thanks!

Olivia's insecurities are slowly killing me ... it still sometimes astounds me how people who are very confident in themselves professionally have so little confidence in themselves on a more personal level ....I hope Natalia can convince her she's not toxic

another fab update ... and as always, eagerly awaiting more

[wonkots42]

I hope Natalia can convince her she's not toxic

I'm sure she will. Thanks!

[wonkots42]
