I have a schizophrenic t-shirt! ::dances:: M, thank you soso much!

Reason #247 why readers don't send fb: concern that they might look daft and/or offend the writer. I laughed till I cried is probably not the hoped-for reaction when someone thinks they've written a sensitive exploration of a young man coming to terms with his sexuality, or a Rilly

It's totally edgy! Um.

I makes me cry, at least. Because of Connor. Cause I'm a Connor and also Wesley Girl. So I'm off on my own little Greek tragedy tangent there somewhere. Although every once in a while I snap out of it to giggle at the silliness mayhem.

Oh, Connor is a doll. Although his constant craving for an evil yet sexy mother figure in his life is a bit unnerving.

And the having sex with the mother figure. Although... I don't know if it's a mother figure. I mean, think about it. He doesn't see Cordelia as a mother figure. She sees him as a son. That's not the same thing. He has no memory of her motherly side. And Jasmine, well. He's her father. He wants something to protect. He's totally co-dependent.

It's all so complex! And also insane!

He was a strange child. By which I mean that I have now made it past the season finale, and I have a feeling that I missed something there, so now I have to watch it over again. I mean, I got what happened, but I never saw the part where there was a tiny hint that a would lead to b.

I so adored Connor and Angel while they were shiny happy people and sang songs. But happiness like that never lasts, does it...

I cried, mainly because they wasted all that perfectly good setup for Fucked-Up And Intensely Wrong Sexual Tension between Connor and Wesley by never having them in the same scene together. And that's pretty much all I'd been looking forward to since we'd learned that we were getting a teenaged Connor.

Well, OK, maybe I didn't actually cry. I thought about it, though.

Oh, now, mind that time when Wesley was all, "I've kidnapped him before," and went and got Connor (in slow motion of ANGST!) and then cut him and caressed his cheek with a bloody hand. I went FNURR? and fell out of my chair.

[marythefan]

Oh holy god, how did I forget that? Yes, indeed, that was one of those moments when I make the strange, strangled, high-pitched sound that frightens the cats. Heh.

Now I want to go scrummage around for Wes/Connor fic ...

[wax_jism]

If you find any that isn't horrible and badwrong in the disgusting way, let me know, yeah? Cause it's an interesting pairing, but not the easiest. Although not as hard as Connor/Angel, which is almost always skeevy and OOC beyond belief.
