Erase last 100 pages or so! NOW!

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!

That is NOT how it ends! Not even remotely how it ends!

*fumes*


(I'm speaking of Fool's Fate right now, by the way.)


It's just . . . ARGH! *bashes book against wall repeatedly*

Someone ([insanejournal.com profile] cheloya!) tell me a different ending. Don't need to write it, just tell me a different ending. Please. Or I shall go mad, and have this hideous FALSE WRONG BAD BAD ending stuck in my head forever.

*wail of fury and outrage*

Well. OK. I hate Fitz/Molly just as much as the next person, but I sort of got that they ended up together. It was inevitable. It made me angry, but it was, in a way, the only possible ending for Fitz (I feel the same way about the end of King's Dark Tower). And I truly believe that Fitz/Fool would always be this awkward "is this sexual or not?" deal. Which is totally okay with me, by the way; I loved that about them.

I just. Can't. Handle. Fool going away. Forever. It's just unbelievable. They are meant to be together, even if Fitz has to be with his stupid Molly. Fool is meant to put Fitz into horrible situations that they then struggle out of together, all in the name of changing history and saving dragons. Fool isn't meant to be Not There.

BUT HEY. CONSOLE YOURSELF WITH THIS: FOOL COULD STILL BE DEAD. That's how I try to help myself sleep at night XD

fffffffff, I know.

But even THAT felt something like a copout. MOSTLY BECAUSE I SPENT TWO HOURS HOWLING WITH GRIEF AND THEN OH BY THE WAY HE'S NOT DEAD REALLY. THANKS FOR THAT, HOBB; THAT REALLY MADE ME LOOK SANE, THAT DID.

I'm so used to losing my favourites that it has never felt like a copout XD Because yes, there is the inconsolable grief sobbing, and then there is the HOLY SHIT HE'S ALIVE :D sobbing. No matter how many times I read these books, that will never change for me lol

I was all "He isn't forever-dead. It's only halfway through the book. He isn't forever-dead. *SOB!* HE ISN'T FOREVER-DEAD, RIGHT?"

Not a copout! *hugs Fool*

I was practically crying when Fitz found the tattoo skin and then Fool in the waste area and Thick saying "that's dirt" and just the absolute horribleness of the way he died it was so fucking horrible and I was T______T

I could MAYBE have handled it if the Fool was there too - even though I have huge, not-even-shippy problems with Fitz ending up with Molly - but exactly! The Fool can't just go off forever! Jinni (or whatev.) said that he would come and go but be with Fitz his whole life! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!

And I truly believe that Fitz/Fool would always be this awkward "is this sexual or not?" deal.
I am not arguing. I mean, I would have squeed like a little fangirl if they had, but the Ultimate Oneness of Fitz & the Fool was way awesome and probably better. IF IT HAD BEEN KEPT! *cry*

Well, Fool left Fitz during Liveship Traders, and then came back. Maybe there is still work to be done. We'll have to see what comes of the Rain Wilds books, I guess. I hope. If that was truly the end of the Fool/Fitz story arc I don't think I could ever forgive Hobb :(

How is it possible to love and hate an author so much lol. I try to stay out of the fandom aspect because, like you and Rave, it makes me So Damn Angry.

For me, fandom is almost the whole point of a new series, and when an author denies me that I get extremely GRRRR!faced and lose respect for them. ESPECIALLY if they end wrongishly. There are very few fandoms that I am both A) content to not be fannish about and B) actually like enough to want to reread/rewatch.

It's a loop! The more I like something, the more I want to be fannish -> the more fannish I am, the more I like it and want to reread it.
