Icon Awards

[xlivvielockex]

Since I don't win very many awards for my graphics since I am starting out and there are a lot better people than me, I just did one post to put them all under. That is, until I get better and I rule the icon making universe! MWAHAHAHA!

First off, thank you for the compliment.

Second, I am so glad that I am not the only one who saw that subtext within the show. Now, being a C/A shipper, we do have to rely on a lot of subtext within the show but outside from that, I can be pretty damn dense. But I so caught the seperation between Cordelia and the rest of the Scoobies all through BTVS. And to some extent, it was there by her own choice in ATS.

What I find really telling and interesting is that here is the Queen of Sunnydale High School, a girl who anyone who basically die to be associated with and she is pretty much shunned and teased by the "freaks". Sure, in my school, we made fun of the Queen of the school but if she came over and wanted to eat lunch with us, we all would have been falling over ourselves to pull out her chair. That is the way that high school works.

I think all too often that Whedon put his own high school views and bias into the show. I don't think in any world would the "freaks" have shunned the Queen to the extent that they did to Cordelia. She did try at times when she could have just walked away. I think that is very telling for her character.

And...I think I have rambled enough. Who knows, I might turn around and write a character manifesto about this. LOL
