expatiates still = the former piratesdaughter.
2. i have lost all self-control. if you have dial-up, don't even think of clicking, f'real.
3. i have also apparently just noticed how hot ben mckenzie is, so this is ryan-heavy.
4. it's not funny. it is woeful, lol. be warned.
the o.c. 4x11 - the dream lover
first of all, a quick foray into storylines about which i did not care at all:
kaitlyn...hung around with bandgeek.
...was hated by bandgeekettes.
...realized that bandgeek was ungeeking himself for her benefit.
...and sent him back to his natural bandgeek habitat.
meanwhile, in the land of newmatch:
julie was in the doghouse.
kiki was still pissed.
there were cookies.
then there was a julie-sanctioned lie from spencer.
and a re-friending for the girls.
ok, that was good. on to things about which i actually care!
morning ryan & seth girl anxiety.
split-screen anxiety!
he has to call, right?
quasi-townwood!
they'll call...right?!?!
so summer visits ryan at the handome turkey.
*bites*
bearer of bad news.
not an henri fan, so much.
tai che. :D
masculinity intact, thankyouverymuch.
surveying henri's future mcmansion.
dammit, you're not ryan.
ryan bites the bullet (but no bullit, woe) and goes looking for taylor.
instead, he gets yelled at by kaitlyn for his lack of present.
he thinks she's full of it.
she is hilariously appalled.
*ponders*
*is a 15-year-old who's right*
back at the coopers-roberts-townsend-winchester place...
seth & summer's romantic date is not going well.
che will fix things.
cohen, where are you?
there he is!
pretty.
that the balloon says "thanks" just makes it all 100000 times better.
ryan is incredulous.
he tries to make a run for it.
foiled again!
*leaves douchey to his poem*
taylor arrives later.
and gets all doted on.
but definitely does not want to have sex with henri, thank god.
so she gets thanked.
and pretends not to care.
summer calls taylor for cooking assistance.
only it's a lie. atwood ploy!
*has to tell tayor how he feels*
*is skeptical*
"i can do that."
advice-giver.
DO NOT CHOKE!
small hands.
wide neck.
seth and che continue communing with nature.
taylor shows up to help with summer's souffle.
but wait...!
ryan! (i don't know why he couldn't just call her, but ok.)
ryan is sorry.
taylor is, if you ask me, a little snippy for someone who spent the week with her ex.
*was hurt*
maybe we ARE too different.
no, what matters is how we feel!
so how do we feel?
um.
uh.
er.
*coughs*
"..."
well.
ah.
*waits*
*more nothing*
*sees where this is (not) going*
henri's reading a poem about me.
it's a love poem, ryan. and it's long.
while ryan says more nothing...
...taylor heads out the door.
and she is totally filled with woe, much like myself.
oh, ryan.
*did what she thought was right*
HE GOT YOU A PRESENT!!! OMG SO NICE AND UNUSUAL!!!
oh.
OH.
OK I HAVE TO GO.
*pwns*
hey, i recognize those eyebrows!
*choked*
*loves his rollercoaster girl*
"TELL HER THAT!"
"you can either do something or you can do nothing."
"DO SOMETHING." (sandy loves him some townwood.)
"...a mug." hee.
taylor goes in search of that mug.
not sure if "adored" is the word.
seth and che make with the chanting.
and also the acid-dropping.
awesome 1.
awesome 2.
healed!
gay!
at the poetry reading that night...
ryan makes an appearance.
"WAIT."
"i have a poem, too."
;a;skfh;sdlfhaskfj.
*remembers that he's ryan atwood*
she's going to call security over a dude with a poem, srsly? stfu, lady.
go ahead, let him do it.
BITCH PLZ, I WILL DO IT.
omgomgomgomg.
AND THEN. RYAN ATWOOD. RYAN "KID CHINO" ATWOOD, PEOPLE.
"a sonnet, i don't know how to write."
"a haiku..."
"...five-seven-five..."
"...seems too tight."
ryan realizes he is not shakespeare and tries to make a run for it.
taylor is NOT having that.
"then there are three little words i'm not able to say..."
"...but taylor, this is what i can tell you today:"
(that's right, henri. pwned by the corn-fed farm boy.)
"...though i can't say those words to you tonight..."
"...please stick with me 'cause i feel someday i might."
ben rules. there's the teeniest shift from anxious...
...to relieved.
and then happy and bashful and awww!
i swear, this lady is the bane of my existence. SHUT UP LADY OMG.
*wanted to tell her how he feels*
*loves it*
SHUT UP LADY.
so in the way only she can, taylor wigs and runs off.
and ryan, spent, watches her go. :(
back at the hotel, taylor finds an "au revoir" letter, finalement!
she also finds something even better. ♥
meanwhile, seth and summer make out now that his otter is healed.
and che spins julie a tale of frog-otter love.
and she is weirded out.
and che knows that he has to tell his otter.
so he practices.
ryan sits out by the fire.
and there is sad music.
and finally, there is taylor.
"i didn't love him, never would."
and ryan goes from this total happy, hopeful thing...
...to thoughtful...
...to hesitant.
*desperate for love*
*will suck it up and say it*
*is not actually THAT desperate, thank god*
shouldn't be with anybody.
including ryan.
and ryan is sad, but understanding. of course.
just looking at caps of this scene makes me want to cry. :(
taylor will treasure the poem forever.
*meant it*
*knows he did*
i have no idea how any woman could walk away from this.
but taylor manages.
"bye, ryan."
and he's silent.
and he lets her go.
because there's nothing else to say.
because she's right.
and so he sits.
*sobs forever*

Date: 2007-01-21 07:50 pm (UTC)you should, like, breathe heavy on his voicemail. :P does he say anything interesting?
(no subject)
Date: 2007-01-21 07:52 pm (UTC)i don't do anything, but one of my friends called, and do you remember the episode in the very beginning of s3 when marissa screams and throws the chair in the pool? she did that scene over on his voicemail.
his voicemail is pretty boring. just "hey, this is ben, i can't get to my phone, so leave a message."
