kippurbirdChapter thirty nine.
We're on page 353 of 483. So about a fourth left to go. And still no plot. Okay, actually there's a hint of plot here.
Richard and Haven have been shuffled off by the doctor to go and rest. Anita starts getting upset but is cuddle healed by Auggie and Jean-Claude. She's stretched out on their laps and letting them know that she knows they "rolled" her into being calm. She's okay with it. Auggie's shawl is starting to fall and well..."Seeing him nude sounded good, and the wanting of it made me not want it at all. Crazy, I know, but true. I seldom trusted anything I wanted too badly." There are so many things wrong with that, I don't know where to start. She's seen lots of people nude and wanted to fuck them so badly it hurt but she never had any second thoughts about it. Everything that I've read so far is about what she wants and about what she needs and never any second thoughts. The only point of that statement is to make it seem like she's got moral grounds for not liking Auggie, when before she didn't care. But you see this is before we knew Auggie was EVIL.
We'll get to that.
Nathaniel shows up naked and smelling like warm vanilla. He flops on her. They kiss and get horny. Fortunately Auggie stops them when he says, "If they actually have sex on our laps, do we get to join in?" With all the food association going on with Anita and her men I'm wondering if one day she'll just up and eat them for dinner.
That would be interesting, I think.
It would certainly end the pain this travesty to the written language is putting me in. I'd rather clean up cat hairballs than read this.
Okay, I lie. There is a cat hairball and I'm not cleaning it up. It's right next to my D&D manuals. They're not in a shelf because I don't have any place to put them. A couple of people have suggested that I put them in my regular bookshelf but then stop when I give them the fish eye. I mean it took me forEVER to get them into authorial alphabetical order and you want me to screw that up? It just FIT. You don't want me to ruin my nice alphabetized bookshelf do you?!
Of course not.
But, instead of eating everyone, Micah shows up. He is surprised that Anita's leopard hasn't devoured everyone in the ro- I mean risen up when she touched Nathaniel. She is surprised. I don't really care. She touches Micah. Nothing happens. I'm kinda confused as to why they're going over this. Her *beast of the Plot device* doesn't rise every time she touches someone. I don't even see why it's a concern. They have other things to worry about that even involve Anitaness, like say Haven?
In continuing our random randomness, Anita pulls Micah onto the party for a big long kiss so that they're all having a laughing good time. No. Seriously.
At the beginning of this paragraph it feels like the end of one of those old sitcoms or eighties cartoons where everyone gets together for that group laugh right before the moral message. Which would probably be something like, "And remember kids, writing really bad p0rn novels is a bad idea... even if it will make you loads of money." The end of the paragraph was just weird. Also, I want to know why is all of these things different all of a sudden. Jean-Claude's laugh, surely they've heard/felt it before (though the whole eating laugh thing is kinda creepy)I honestly don't get her fascination with food description things. Yes, I know you're supposed to use all five senses in your writing to make it seem more real, but her food fetish is fascinating. I could write an essay about it. After I finish my Eragon Transgender essay.
Auggie starts making with the ardeur again. Horny little bastard he is. He gets chastise as a naughty boy by Jean-Claude. Auggie doesn't care what with "all this bounty writhing on my lap". Auggie does have a point here. Lots of pretty boys on your lap and making with the writing is going to be touching things that will react. Still, the others take offense, Anita, Micah and Nathaniel getting off the couch. Jean-Claude says that while he won't blame them, the others will.
Of course they will. Despite the fact that they're teasing and things Auggie it's his fault that he wants to join in and getting horny. Now, Anita is starting to thing that being in love with Auggie is a bad thing because "it was because of vampire wiles". See, all of this contradictory things is set up. You'll see why in a chapter or so. But she's setting him up to be EVAL now.
Meanwhile, Micah is all snitty, saying "I don't know you and you don't get to touch me". He was the one who was on Auggie's lap practically inviting the vampire to have sex but Auggie isn't allowed to join in. If you're having a make out session on someone's lap, generally, it's considered that you want the lap person to join in. They aren't a couch after all.
They then tangent on the whole loving Auggie bit, where they're saying, yes they love him, but it's his fault because he made them. Jean-Claude tells him, "I was your friend, but you have used your arts to make me feel for you what you have not earned. But I, like ma petite, know how to love and not be a prisoner to that love. You can win, or steal our love, but you cannot steal a true relationship with us; that must be won." In bed
YOU KNEW ABOUT HIS POWER WHEN YOU RAPED HIM! YOU KNEW IT WOULD BE A LIKELY SIDE EFFECT AND YET YOU STILL DID IT! HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE ABILITY WHEN YOU WERE RIDING HIM IN FULL CONTROL OF THE ARDUER AND YET IT'S STILL HIS FAULT?! I DON'T THINK SO!!
Auggie here is a victim. It's honestly not his fault that they're in love with him. They knew - Jean-Claude especially - what his power was. They even said it before they fucked him senseless. But some how ... somehow it's his fault for using a power that he couldn't control when they were busy raping him.
In many ways this situation reminds me of trying to give a cat a bath. You know the cat will try and scratch you. And when the cat does scratch you, it's not the cat's fault for doing that. You knew the cat would try and do it. And the cat can't help it. The cat certainly doesn't want the bath, even if he may need it. So, there's no use blaming the cat for doing what it naturally does.
They now put their bodies, as a price for him doing what they want. So they're turning themselves into whores to get what they want from him because they know he'll do anything to have them.
Continuing the thoughts of how Auggie's forced true love isn't a real true love, as Anita slowly turns Auggie to evil.
This definition of what true love isn't amuses me, beyond the idea of true love, which irks me. In most cases of fictional True Love, it's a glance across the room and you know that person there, is your true love even though you don't know how or why, you just do. And that's rather quick. And then there's the true love that begins with the bickering and ends in the sex and the realization that you're madly in love with each other. It's such a common trope it's a cliche.
Speaking of tropes, I've made it onto TVtrops.org, on the automaton horses page.
Now that my head has swelled some, let us move on.
They continue to bicker mindlessly about feeding egos and true love when Nathaniel suddenly buts in saying that he's standing there naked and no one's paying attention to him. Mostly it's because Auggie is looking at Micah like he wants to see what he looks like naked.
He becomes all coy by hiding under his hair and making innocent eyes. Auggie thinks this is wonderful and wants to know where Jean-Claude gets all the pretty bishie boys. When it's brought to his attention that Anita does it, Anita says, "They aren't talent to me. They're people I care about, and I don't like games." in bed
Astoundingly, they're surprised when they learn that Auggie researched them. UNFORTUNATELY he researched them for sexual reasons. Because that's all that matters.
Finally the chapter ends with them discussing how to make Anita fall in love with you. That being you don't try, you just try to love her. And then she loves you.

In continuing our random randomness, Anita pulls Micah onto the party for a big long kiss so that they're all having a laughing good time. No. Seriously.
I used both hands to drag him half over the couch back, and give him the kiss he deserved. I licked, kissed, ate, at his mouth, as if the taste of him were a drug, and I needed a fix. He fell into his that kiss, and spilled over the couch, on top of me, and into everyone's laps. He rose from the kiss, laughing, the worry erased from his eyes. We ended up laughing together in a big pile. Not just Micah and me, but Nathaniel, and Auggie with his big, fang-flashing laugh. Jean-Claude's laughter spilled over us all, like something thick and sweet you should be able to lick off your skin. The sensation of it made me catch my breath. Micah shivered above me. Nathaniel's hand grabbed my arm, and Micah's, his finger's convulsing against our skin. Auggie's hand tightened almost painfully on my leg. I couldn't see him past Micah's body, but I could feel his body reacting to that touchable laugh.
At the beginning of this paragraph it feels like the end of one of those old sitcoms or eighties cartoons where everyone gets together for that group laugh right before the moral message. Which would probably be something like, "And remember kids, writing really bad p0rn novels is a bad idea... even if it will make you loads of money." The end of the paragraph was just weird.

Continuing the thoughts of how Auggie's forced true love isn't a real true love, as Anita slowly turns Auggie to evil.
Maybe what Auggie could cause a person to feel wasn't true love, after all. Maybe it was that kind of love that seems to come quick, and leave slow, but in the middle it's just fights, and pain, punctuated by great sex, until one of you has the courage to end it, and walk away.
This definition of what true love isn't amuses me, beyond the idea of true love, which irks me. In most cases of fictional True Love, it's a glance across the room and you know that person there, is your true love even though you don't know how or why, you just do. And that's rather quick. And then there's the true love that begins with the bickering and ends in the sex and the realization that you're madly in love with each other. It's such a common trope it's a cliche.
Speaking of tropes, I've made it onto TVtrops.org, on the automaton horses page.
Egregious example: The Inheritance Trilogy is one of the worst of the lot, featuring two horses being led for weeks on end through a mind-bogglingly vast desert without a word of mention as to how they were doing, never mind any realism regarding the average horse's water intake. One sporker referred to the trope as "Zombie Horses".
Now that my head has swelled some, let us move on.

You know why I'm bringing this up? Here's a hint, it's not you.

Date: 2008-06-12 06:21 pm (UTC)I also think that it would be an awesome ending to the series if Anita got dragged down to hell by the werelion that she killed in The Harlequin because he refused to feed her ardeur. However, I know that LKH would ever write it. I doubt that she's ever actually gone to a real opera.
If someone wrote an Anita anti-fanfic based on Don Giovanni, that would be so awesome. If anyone knows about a good one out there, please tell me.
One-fourth left? Here have ten pounds of sanity cookies.
