demeter918: blue doraemon cat (Default)
*dies* The new Fruits Basket chapter was SO EFFING CUTE.

Tohru/Kyo are rapidly becoming a favorite pairing of mine! Akito and Shigure's moment? SCREAM.

... and you know what? I picked up V.22 of the new Fruits Basket manga and the image of Ren on the cover and the image of Akira on the back actually filled me with some pity for her. I don't like her, I don't think I ever will. She was a terrible mother but before Akito, before everything went downhill, you had to wonder what kind of woman she was. It makes me wonder about what is it about regular people being completely destroyed and annhilated when they enter the Sohma family?

Think about it. Momiji's mother almost went insane because she couldn't deal with the fact that her child was a Zodiac animal and had to have her memories erased. Takaya-sensei was fairly careful to NOT demonize the woman. She showed that Momiji's mother was just another regular person who got into a very unusual situation and found that she couldn't handle it. Takaya also was clear that the woman tried to accept Momiji and it wasn't until a few years after his birth that she became so terrible. I don't know if I can condemn her, mostly because I don't know how I'd react in that situation. Obviously, people like Hiro's mother and Kagura's mom were stronger and could handle the stress of being a Juunishi mother, but people are different and I can't hate someone simply because they're weaker.

It was the same way with Kisa's mom, who managed to get through it and Kyo's mom, who didn't. And that maybe why I'm actually glad Kana got out even if it made Hatori miserable. Kana was a really gentle and kind person; she loved Hatori with all she had, but with the way the Sohma family is, she would have been crushed within a couple years. And Hatori would have lost her anyways.

As for Ren... I feel like if she hadn't been a maid in that house and that Akira and her hadn't fallen in love, perhaps she would just be another woman in the world. Someone who might be petty at times, someone who might be kind at others. She might have a cat or she might live alone. She might frequent bars or join a knitting club. Who knows?

That said... she was an absolutely terrible mother. And I hope she realizes that someday.

demeter918: blue doraemon cat (House - shipperchick - les titles)
You know, I love Cameron and I love House and sue me, I like the two of them together. What I don't like is batshit insane H/C shippers who make the rest of us look bad. And you know what? I also hate the fact that the person's a troll and that people are taking s/h/it seriously. And you know what? I feel paranoid, but why do I think it's some batshit insane anti-Cameron fan out to make it seem like H/C shippers are crazy?

My paranoia is getting the better of me.

I like Cameron and FUCK YOU IF YOU THINK LESS OF ME FOR IT. She has her faults, she has her eccentricities that irritate me, but overall? I love her character and find her fascinating. In fact, she might even be better with Wilson and OMG, do you suddenly find me repulsive because I've broken the HOLY PAIRING OF HOUSE/WILSON?

... three episodes into the third season and I'm already deflated. Yay!
