What the HELL!???! Reaction to the reaction to the new VM spoilers

[arabian]

I am positively, absolutely mind-boggled at the reaction from some people in the fandom about the new round of VM spoilers. SERIOUSLY!

Do I like the spoilers about Logan sleeping with Madison, Veronica finding out and dumping him over it? Absolutely not. However, I'm upset with Veronica, not Logan. But I can not fathom how anyone can see Logan as the bad guy here. Seriously. Do I understand why Veronica is upset? Absolutely. But dumping him for it? No way. And I simply can not understand how anyone can be mad at Logan, wondering how he can be forgiven. He. Does. Nothing. Wrong. Grrrr.

They broke up. She took it, didn't fight it, fight for him, they are over. It's not a break, it's not a 'let's see how things play out,' it was the end of their relationship. And then a month later or so he is lonely, unattached and hooks up with another lonely, unattached, willing female. How is this out of a character? He's an unattached 19 year old guy who has no expectation that he's going to get back together with the girl HE broke up with. He did nothing wrong. At all. As far as he knows, their relationship is completely over. It's not like he jumps into bed with someone the day after ep 9. It's three to four weeks or so. He's a single, unattached guy. Single, unattached guys -- even nursing what they believe is unrequited love -- have sex with single, unattached females and it doesn't make them evil. It makes them human and 19-year-old boys with a healthy sex drive.

He did nothing wrong.

He did NOTHING wrong. Veronica? Now her, I'm not so sure about. She breaks up with him because he slept with a girl A MONTH AFTER THEY BROKE UP! They. Were. Broken. Up. Not on a break, not in the middle of any stage of ambiguity. They were over. Again -- beating my head in an endless refrain -- he did absolutely nothing wrong. The fact that she dumps him for something he did when they weren't together? Wrong. Get pissed? Sure. Give him the silent treatment for a week? Sure. Withhold sex for a few weeks? Sure. Make him feel guilty as hell for a few weeks? Sure. And then after all of the above, get over it. But break up with him!?!?!? For something he did when they were not even dating!?!?!? WHAT THE HELL?!!? No way.

This...I just...no. I am so very, very not cool with this. Their breakup was SO well done, and I was SO happy they managed to write it in a way that wasn't four steps backward. And now this!!!

Why the HELL would they have them get back together and then break them up AGAIN??? They want to have Logan sleep with Madison and have Veronia get all pissy about it? Fine. Let her be pissy, let her be jealous, let her FUCKING PINE A LITTLE BIT.

But the fact that they're getting them back together just so Veronica can do the dumping?! No. No. So very much no. I'm sorry. I'm NOT COOL with this development.

Arg. This is why I need to learn no to click on the spoilercut! SO ANGRY.

I was even thinking of you and how at least you wouldn't have to deal with this until ep 12 because you're spoiler-free. But really, I can't imagine that it's not better knowing now, imagine the absolute painful sucker-punch from hell you'd get if you were thrilled about ep 10 and then whammy! comes this baby.

Is it any wonder I don't feel like writing?

Honestly, I'm really happy I'm prepared for this. It would SUCK to not know this was coming. Just, so much shock and anger.

Why would they go ten steps back on their relationship like this. After their breakup, I was actually OPTIMISTIC about where they might go for the rest of the season. It's not that I don't enjoy their snark, but I want their final reconciliation (and we BETTER get one) to be earned, and not rushed. How are they ever going to reconcile them after this?

Is it any wonder I don't feel like writing?
I can't seem to write anything lately that doesn't end in heartache and death. Oh, THIS SHOW.

All I can say is that there a reason I do NOT like Rob Thomas. There is a reason I believe absolutley that he dislikes the L/V shippers intensely (after all, it's our fault that his story of twu wuv didn't succeed). There is a reason that I began "expecting the worst" in regards to this show from ep 10 and onward in S2.

I'm glad you gave in and clicked the spoiler because I wouldn't want to imagine where you'd be when it happens if you didn't know.

I can't seem to write anything lately that doesn't end in heartache and death.

And since I don't write heartache or death in this situation, I can't write period. I can do the angst, but only when there is fluff and happiness at the end of the rainbow. And I just can't do that now.

Yeah, I'm not feeling the optimism so much, at this point.

I'm so glad you know (and that everyone is finally able to talk about it.) I am kind of devastated. It's just--the thought of Logan sitting in his hotel room, wasted with sadness and heartbreak--I just don't know if I can even watch it.

Oh god, the sadness. I really needed Veronica to do some pining this time around. Ugh. Sometimes it's hard to keep rooting for these two when it's so one-sided, all the time. What motivation is there for them to get back together after this?

Meanwhile, I should probably start posting about this in my own journal so I can stop spamming other people's. :)

And it's just like you wrote about before, after 3.07: why can't she love him enough? Enough to accept him? To forgive him? I wasn't on board then, with the I-just-want-Logan-to-be-happy sentiment--I wanted them to be together too much. But now, I just don't know anymore. So depressed (and unhealthily emotionally invested).

Yeah, I'm glad that people now know. It's just -- yeah, what you said, poor depressed, woobie Logan to the extreme. Sigh.

Oh, spam away, spam away, LOL!
