Character Discussion: Cassie

[buffyangellvr23.livejournal.com]

Here goes...the character who often seems to get the most negativity, and sometimes it's for good reason. I know my LJ folder is gonna be swamped this week, but I'll turn you loose anyway LOL

I do like the animal loving part myself...but there are things that some of you say about her that I can see as well...both positive and negative.

"replace Cassie with Melissa!"

Uhhhhhhhhh... The only person Melissa has EVER cannon been subbed in for is Rachel? WTF?! o_O' Where did that even COME from?! This doesn't even make any sense!

But starting whole threads on "why Cassie should die", "who should replace Cassie?", "the books would have been so much better if Cassie died"

OK, Cassie is stated not a character I ever really related to/etc, but this is OMGWTFBBQ-ness to the extreme. I just can't even fathom how most of the series plot would have gone is Cassie had actually left died is to dumb to write at any point in the series.

"Rachel didn't die it was Cassie in Rachel morph"

You're kidding, right? o_O' o_O' o_O' I've read ONE fanfic where someone actually pulled this off, but I had no idea there was a whole *movement* about this.

And now the cycle repeats, since Avatar fandom is scaring me off with its Katara hate...

I strongly suggest you find a nice, genfic community and stay the HELL away from the shipwankgst/etc in Avatar fandom. I don't know if it's because the fandom is so HUGE or what, but I generally avoid most of it.

For some reason there are certain Ani forums online that have boners for Melissa. I so don't even get why. What's even weirder is that they pair her with David. I MEAN WHAT. They never even interacted, and Melissa's entire character can be summed up as "I like gymnastics and hug my cat when my parents don't love me anymore".

I've seen at least three fics where Cassie in Rachel morph takes Rachel's place. They baffle me.

Oddly enough, the only Avatar pairing I ship is Sokka/Suki, maybe Sozin/Roku some days. I could really give no less a crap about Zutara/Kataang/Maiko/Tophko. The shipping was just so secondary to me when watching the series.

So many great Sokka lines in S3. And you had to like 'Zuko and Sokka'a Excellent Adventure' yes?

YES. I pretty much love Sokka whenever he does anything. Except The Library, he was an idiot in that one.

I teared up during Iroh and Suko's reunion, and when Sokka and Toph are hanging from the airship, with Toph blind and Sokka's leg broken, and he says "I don't think boomerang's coming back..." and she starts to cry. OMG HET LIFE PARTNERS FOREVER.
