Character Relationships Discussion Jake and Cassie

[buffyangellvr23.livejournal.com]

Early postage because tomorrow's going to be a bit busy and I'm afraid I'll be too tired by nighttime. I'm just going to start at the top...can I collaborate with someone on a list, so I can keep everything straight? I'd appreciate it.



As I've probably said before, I enjoyed the ship, and was kind of sad when it didn't end happily. Was that another of KAA's 'war is hell' parts? Of course, we all know the technical reason was Jake's emptying of the pool on the ship. Anyway, it was cool through most of the series, at least if you're okay with Cassie. For me she isn't a favorite, but I don't hate her either. And of course there has to be a mention of the kiss in The Attack...that was a nice scene.

Fff, you have to admit though. Rachel and Marco actually dating couldn't help but be anything other than drama XD (beautiful, glorious drama...but drama nonetheless.)

Oh yeah, the romance did definitely add something to that arc. Obviously Grapplegate didn't want NO ROMANCE EVAR, or...there'd have been no romance ever. Mostly I just think that they didn't want what romance they did have to be a major focus. So it's there, but it's not like we have any books where half of the story is spent going on about someone's relationship issues.

If she hadn't died, I get the feeling she would have eventually left Tobias for Marco. Tobias would not have left hawk for her, and I think he knew it. After the war he wouldn't have as many excuses, and Rachel does not strike me as someone with infinite patience.

Idk if she would have gone for Marco - their relationship was by no means smooth sailing by the end of the way either - but there definitely would have been some issues with her and Tobias.
