I don't hate Bree. Or even dislike her. She's a young, very sheltered girl, who all of a sudden needs to be on the run, and as smart and cool under pressure as someone who's been doing this for years. Remember that her BIG problems in the beginning were her parents not letting her have a picnic with Danial? She was in tears over that. When she needed to choose between her religion and Daniel, her sheltered life in which her biggest decision to make was when to make a video and when to study, she chose her religion. Why? Because it had been with her her whole life, and Danial had been there for only a couple of years. Her life had taught her to choose what she was more familiar with, and all of a sudden this realization was forced in her face. She had to make LIFE CHANGING decisions with almost no time to think, and so much more on the line than a trip to the beach. She's spent her whole life not saying no to anyone, and learning to follow her parents. When it turns out they're not people to follow, she has nothing to go by. And the small amount she has to follow? She has no clue what to do with it. Therefore, even though she tries to be like them, she doesn't know enough about them to really know what to do with what she has. I'm ecstatic that she's with Tachyon now, she'll have someone with good values, who is familiar with her situation to look up to. She'll really learn what to do, and she'll be able to follow someone smart. She's being forced into bigger choices than most of us have ever made, when she's never made a decision by herself before all of this. She's trying to learn, and finally has a chance to. She's made huge mistakes, mistakes that seem far too stupid and rash to be forgivable in most circumstances. I won't deny that. But why would she know to do anything other than what she has done, given her life?

Sorry if any of that was repetitive. D;

Edited to make more sense. And to be something other than senseless rambling.

This coming from big fan of Tachyon's, I don't think we have any idea what her values are-- and I would venture to say that her values aren't neccessarily "good" in any kind of traditional, big-sister-ish sense-- she definitely seems colder and more hardened than that.

No, I agree-- she'll be a great influence on Bree in terms of being strong and overall more awesome, I'm sure, I just thought the term "good values" was kind of weird based on anything I've ever heard from/of Tachy.

I was actually referencing Jonas in the 'my hand hurts' video, saying he and Bree just need their space but things might never be the same between them. So the post was sort of tongue in cheeck but serious too.

For some reason her refusing to take him to a hosptial or even drop him off outside an ER really did it for me. I started realizing how many times people brought up in the forums f'd up heartless things that Bree did and how many times I just ignored them or worse yet stuck up for her.

I mean, is there really any excuse for anyone who values living creatures to go 'skeeter hunting' with a flip flop and take out innocent water striders? Many people pointed it out then and I just sort of ignored it. Denial I tell ya.

However, longlost raises a very good point. Men do just seem to be dogs to the Order. Look at how they treated Daniel and Bree's dad.

Believe me, so do I.
I'm not in denial. XDD
Seriously, I considered that option today what with everyone hating Bree and all, and this is what I came up with.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I'm not jumping ships just yet. :3
