ESSAY: Two Rays, Both Alike In Dignity

Yes, that was really the title. Yes, I submitted this for a class. Yes, I got an A on it and the teacher noted "I seriously need to see this show"" on it. OHOHO!

So there it is below the lj-cut, although I also have a gdocs version up that's easier to read since it's in the right format and all (though I did not use MLA citation correctly. OH WELL ( Read more... )

YEP. CANON PARTNER SWAPPING HAPPENS. And even though we only get like...a minute, maybe two minutes' worth of interaction, it's still pretty cute.

Stella and RayV staying together is pure fandom, just as Fraser and Kowalski staying together is pure fandom. No follow-up movie was ever made that showed them as couples, so you don't have to believe they stayed together.

I prefer to think that RayV dropped the bitch and went back to Chicago, and Fraser and Kowalski had a fight and Kowalski returned to Chicago alone, while Fraser stayed in Canada. Then the Rays became friends. Stella was out of their lives permanently, but Fraser remained a close friend to both Rays, and spent time with both of them every year.

You know, I was going to ignore your comments, because honestly, two-year-old post about a show I haven't watched in about that long. But then you did this:

I prefer to think that RayV dropped the bitch... [and that] Stella was out of their lives permanently

No. You can come into my two-year-old post (which I never even linked anywhere, so how did you even find this?) and try and stir up some fifteen-year-old Ray war, whatever. We all have opinions. But you don't get to come into my post and spread your misogynist bullshit. This is my goddamn journal, and I am telling you no. Why would you even call Stella a bitch? Because she dared to not want children when her husband did? Because she went on with her life and had a career? Because she got a (pretty half-assed, let's be honest) Pair The Spares-esque ending with the character you like? Or just because she was a woman, because let's face it, fandom misogyny isn't exactly a new thing?

There are a lot of things you can say about the characters on due SOUTH, but your misogynist ( ... )
