Hi everyone. Here are some long overdue replies to you lovely, wonderful, neat, cool, groovy kittens. I have the next update finished, it's just waiting the beta process. Um....it's going to be a short update, but sometimes that's what it takes to get the creative juices flowing. *cough cough* I said CREATIVE juices....
watson and
Carleen, you two can get your minds out of the gutter now.
Shhhheeeshh!

They're subconsciously building a wall between them, and all because of fear and uncertainties.What is preventing them from declaring what is deep inside them. What is Willow afraid of? What doesn't Tara want to tell Willow yet?
I think Tara has deeply seeded issues concerning intimacy because of the way her father made her feel guilty about being gay.If you recall, we found out that Tara's father blamed her "sin" for her mother's death. I don't think Tara believes that in her rational mind...but sometimes feelings can be more powerful than rational thought.

So now, you can't make us wait another 5 months for an update, cos we need to know who is calling? You understand? The wrath of watty is nothing to be laughed at! (well, you might laugh, and others might laugh, but ... um I'm shooting myself in the foot, heehee).
Oh I promise.....not another five months! In fact, I've finished the next update and it's just awaiting Carleen's wonderful skill.
So...I wont have to incure the wrath of watty.

There were so many moments that sparkled in this update - Anya's drawing and commentary on the likely course of the relationship, Tara peeling cards off herself, Willow's spaz attack and Buffy holding her lips closed while she calmed her down... all great.
Thank you.
Quote:
But plenty of meaty seriousness too, with Tara's anxiety about revealing her situation to Willow, and the distance it's causing between them. Strange as it sounds to say, perhaps they should be following Anya's advice - excessive amounts of discussion. Then they can get onto the closet-clearing and U-Haul-hiring
I've always thought Anya gave sensible advice.
Though her suggestions sound better on paper.....

I'm enjoying the growing complexity of Tara's character. Sad to watch, but such an understandable reaction for someone who has experienced a lot of pain in her past to withdraw from people who are close such as Willow.
Exactly.....
Quote:
Ok. Probably the most embarrassing snort ever erupted from me when I read this. The detailed drawing with the turning of pages and tilted heads was just too funny.
You snorted?? hee hee
YAY! I don't think I've ever made anyone snort before......

Being denied Art for so long makes one's Appreciation for it that much sweeter when a new piece descends from the ether.
Always lovely and trouser-stiffening to start off with some sticky and sweaty Willow and Tara lovin' .
true....
Quote:
All Tarot cards point to me doing some self-lovin' in response.
Quote:
Tara's subsequent state of mind really echoes her television persona in that her negative self-worth is so ingrained that her perception of how Willow must see her is tainted by it as well.
I guess that's the downfall of the human race. We always project onto others the feelings we have of ourselves.
Quote:
Tara can only see her qualities deemed unnatural or grotesque by her verdamnt father and brother so she naturally believes that that is how she is perceived by all.
It's very hard to accept love if you have never been shown love. Even though she had a loving relationship with her mother, I think Donny and her father's abusive additude outweighs the good, in her mind.
Quote:
That hopefully is Tara on the phone and not a cruel red herring so Willow can take Tara's face in her hands and assure her that whatver Tara's past, it doesn't matter.
All that matters is that they have found each other and together they can face down anything.
Sounds like the cliche "happy ending" *sigh* I love it! yes...lets go with that one!
