HAS POOR VILA BEEN DRAGOONED INTO THIS SHITSHOW? —
WHY ARE BLAKE AND AVON DOOMED THIS WEEK? They had sex once and Avon is afraid to sex again because the Feelings will come for him. Then they do sex again. And Avon’s like ‘oh I can’t love you, there is no love within me!!’ and the story seems to think this is a factual statement, rather than in direct contradiction with the immediately-preceding motives and events. Then they’re not going to have sex again because Avon thinks it’ll only hurt them both. Even though there is no love within him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ EDITOR’S NOTE: baffling
PROSE: fine
OVERALL: Avon ‘killed and cooked a bird’ for them. Series 1 Avon. … ……….if you fucking. say so.
God I’m so tired of under-explained It Can Never Be. The through-line here needs work. Perhaps the story needs a stronger editorial hand? This is something I often think about Oblique, but I’m not sure where beta tradition was then.[1]
