Marguerite's got abandonement issues, and all the world has done is try and screw her. So much like Vala, she's turned around and tried to screw it back. Now she's building tentative relationships with these people, but some of them choose not to examine the conflict between what she says and what she does. From what I'm seeing, she cares a whole lot more than most people choose to see and a whole lot more than she says.
*dies* Your entire analysis was made of win, but this in particular, I love. Articulate, much? *squishes*
In a way, she may see it as an advantage if they underestimate her compassion and caring because then she becomes an unknown quantity- they can't plan out what she's going to do in a given situation.DUDE. In one comment, you've helped me make peace with something that's been bugging me forever! I love her so much that I want her to get recognition, but...I mean, she finds dealing with Roxton and his expectations and efforts to break through her walls tough enough, and how much more overwhelming would it be if
( ... )
*squishes* I'm so glad it made sense then, I always wonder if when I'm saying this stuff it'll translate well for everybody else.
I didn't think that maybe SHE wasn't ready for that either. If they all assumed she was this wonderful, altruistic, saintly person and expected her to act like it, that'd probably send her fleeing for dear life from the treehouse.Despite the seriousness of this conversation, I had to giggle at the mental image you just presented. I'm sorry, I had to, really. That's exactly what I was thinking though, because having all of them expect her to suddenly be St. Marguerite the Sweet would definitely be too much to deal with

Hee! I totally didn't mean to be amusing,but lol, you opened my eyes to the humor of it all. ST MARGUERITE THE SWEET! *giggle!splodes*
Lol, I was standing on the balcony the other day being thinky and trying to figure out the mysteries that are complex characters in a cheesy, yet wonderfully complex show.
ZOMG, YOU HAZ A BALCONY?! *envies* I want a balcony too...all my ships seem to go ponder deep thoughts on balconies...
Sometimes men have stupid ideas, this is a fact of life that must be dealt with. xD
We sound so jaded for women so young! :P
One question- What subtlety? :P
*covers eyes* I KNOW, GOOD POINT. It's funny, I actually found another meme the other day where I also made some comment to you about watching TLW and it was like...gee, coming on a bit strong there, no? But it paid off, so I shall be smug. ^_^
I totally didn't mean to be amusing,but lol, you opened my eyes to the humor of it all.
*huge grin* I like humor :P There's a cracky!TLW scene playing around in my head now.
I want a balcony too...all my ships seem to go ponder deep thoughts on balconies...
Erm. I sound really dense now, I hadn't even noticed that until you pointed it out. --> Fail, Lauren. Fail. But yeah, we've got a balcony because we live on the fourteenth floor of our building. Sadly no ocean below it but I suppose you can't win 'em all.
We sound so jaded for women so young!
Dammit, that's messed up, yet true. I thought I wasn't supposed to get cynical until I was like 30. That's actually a bit of a problem lately. *sigh*
Seriously, there was another meme? I can't believe I forgot that.
I only noticed the balcony thing when it got to Shark and I was like...hey, there's something familiar about this...OH, MY SHIPS LIKE HEIGHTS. Lol. And you win for having a balcony at all, ocean or not. Now you just need a love interest to come seek you out when you're pondering deep thoughts... :P
Grr. Now I'm trying to remember this X-files quote from one of the books about cynics/skeptics. It was something to do with being a realist...? Anyway, there's nothing wrong with it as a protective mechanism, as long as you're still open to the potential beauty and joys of life. :D
Now you just need a love interest to come seek you out when you're pondering deep thoughts...
*facepalm* Hope springs eternal, right? Although I think I'm okay with or without falling in love. I'm trying to keep my life at least somewhat uncomplicated xD Thing is, with the guys I know, I'm pretty much just one of the gang. I've never been all that flirty and most days I'd rather climb a tree than wear a fancy dress. *shrug*
This is where I wish I had a better memory for quotes and such. I don't think I remember that one, though.
Hee, you were very persistant indeed, I remember that now! I was kinda sitting there scratching my head and being all intrigued.
I'm in love with the idea of love. Don't think I could actually face the reality of it. And given my current circumstances, I don't have the opportunity to find out, either, although I'm okay with that. The idea of trying to maintain a real relationship scares me, lol.
I know the book was either Goblin or Whirlwind by somebody Anderson because those were the only proper X-files books my school library had. I think it was the latter, with cows and people being skinned alive out in one of the desert states. I'd be tempted to say Arizona but I'm terrible with geography, so. *shrugs*
Hee, you were very persistant indeed
And you were very resistant! *pokes* But boy, when you commit, you commit ♥
The idea of trying to maintain a real relationship scares me, lol.
Oh, I hear you. It all seems so very messy and occasionally painful, and honestly I think I'd rather see it in my fandoms than try and figure it out myself. *g* Also, my dad and brother would both try and kill any potential suitors, and though it would make quite an impression as I made the daring rescue, most guys really prefer people whose relatives don't threaten their lives. *shrug* Don't ask me why, you'd think a little danger would make things interesting ;D
I'll have to look around and see if I can find it anywhere. Now and then I start looking for fandom novels and that sounds like an interesting casefile. It could've been Arizona for sure, or else New Mexico or Nevada. Something about those states seems to attract the crazies.
But boy, when you commit, you commit ♥How could I not? I had a very devoted enabler
( ... )
Ha, overprotective male relatives pretty much always signal a tragic ending to any love story. Guys are just too damn lazy to try and defy the odds. Though every once in a while, you might get lucky and meet a hero along the way, who'll sweep you off your feet, then challenge the menfolk and win their admiration and respect. :P
I think this may be the fastest I've ever watched an entire season of a show.
22 eps in 20 days? And that's with joox acting up and all. You finished it faster than I did, and that was with the whole season on dvd, lol.
Catch up on your beauty sleep when you need to, I'll always be around. I ain't vanishing anytime soon. :D I'm impressed you actually checked LJ at that hour. SO addicted, lol.
So true. Except I'm a little too jaded to be all that sure about heroes. And seriously, where do I get this from? My parents have been married nearly twenty one years and they're still ridiculously adorable together so where do I get off being the cynic?
*huge grin*
And yeah, I know I'm crazily addicted to LJ. But it's mostly because what else is there to do when I've got insomnia and it's the middle of the night? I have a lot of trouble sleeping sometimes..
Hmm, well, I know it sounds whack but I spent half my life wishing my parents would divorce, so I brought myself up to be cynical, I guess. *ponders* You have no excuse, though, happily married parents and all! :P
I envy you getting to use the internet in the night. I can't use it at home so I almost have panic attacks as I lie away at night, thinking about what I'm missing out on. I remember the good old days when I stayed over at Ma's- I'd watch foxtel til midnight, then go on the internet til 5am, sleep for a few hours, then wake up and resume tv-watching. :D Heaven!
Oh, while admiring your icon- it occurs to me to ask whether you have any idea where I might get that 'all along the watchtower' music? It's so beautiful, and watching the snippet on the ep isn't enough, what with all the random dialogue that goes over it. *fornws* PEOPLE, appreciate the art, damn it! STFU!
Lol, I'm forgetting who made the Kara icon, but it's credited. It comes of having extra icon space ♥ But, I don't have the song from that episode, I do, however, have the version from the season three finale from the soundtrack. It's the full version that Bear McCreary did for that ep or whatever. Want a link? [I really want this piano-type version from the ep. It better be on the soundtrack.]
I sees, I sees how you be filling up this icon space! I'm feeling these warm fuzzies at making a friend happy, they never get old, lol.
Oooh, linkie please! I haven't heard the s3 version [I rented the whole season and then never got around to finishing it, lol, but I was fuming over Baltar and everything so I was like, 'meh, who gives a damn?'] but I'm sure it's beautiful.
You realize I'm going to be coming after you with random song requests now, right? :P
*squishes* Well, good then. Warm fuzzies are awesome ♥
All Along The Watchtower. I can't believe I've had that uploaded as long as I have *facepalm* But I'm generally not very fond of Baltar, so I was pretty much 'meh' about that development. And then in 'Crossroads' I was busy with "OMG, KARA!!" so... yeah.
Lol, it might've been there for a bit too long... the file's no longer stored, apparently. :[ Thanks for trying, though!
I hate Baltar. And after watching the last few eps of BSG, I hate him even more. He shouldn't have a voice, he shouldn't matter, why the frak do people regard him as a leader? *head!splodes from frustration*
Hee! *rubs hands gleefully* I'll try not to abuse the privilege, but I'll keep you in mind...
