old habits die hard

After having watched both seasons and then gone back to re-watch S1? These scene was like a kick to the stomach.

Reading the parts of On Fire that gave us her perspective? Literally made me ill. Actual feelings of nausea.

I like her for what she is, a strong female character who isn’t a damsel. But she is also a statutory rapist sex murderer, and I can vehemently dislike her for the premeditation.

Yeah, On Fire was basically killer for Kate/Derek angst. :(

I like the way she was drawn, too. Not just her being a badass (because yeah, she kicked butt, regardless of whether she was ‘evil’ or whether people hate her or whatever), but also the humanity in her interactions with Allison, her initially teasing Scott when he went over for dinner. I liked that she was cruel, but was also a normal person who did stuff like tease her niece about boys, and I think that made the impact of what she did even worse. Like, for Allison’s whole life Kate was her cool, awesome aunt. And underneath all that was a woman who orchestrated an affair with an underage boy in order to burn his entire family alive… and felt no remorse.

Obviously, I don’t LIKE Kate Argent. But she was a strong character, I think. Not just physically, but in terms of having her life under control, and in terms of living by her own fucked up code. She LET a monster (in her own mind) close enough to fuck her and she kissed him and let him think it was love and then BAM, she just broke him into tiny little pieces. Six years later she stood in the house where she’d murdered his entire family and LAUGHED about it. About the statutory rape- about him growing up in all the right places. It freaks me the fuck out to imagine why she might have brought condoms back to Beacon Hills with her; we all know seduction was one of her M.O.s.

Sometimes I just can’t even with her. Ugh.
