these are the roles we choose to play




Like any honest person, I enjoy a good love triangle. However, today as I was watching Dawson's Creek, I realized something. First off, everyone has their own opinions as to who should end up with who. My question is: what is this based on? How are we CONVINCED of who belongs with whom?

In my (very flawed) opinion, Joey belonged with Pacey all along. Leia was always going to be with Han even before she found out Luke was her brother. Kate and Sawyer are meant to be, even though I love Juliet. Hermione should have been with Harry because both Ron and Ginny are absolutely ridiculous. Buffy and Angel are just supposed to be together regardless of the whole vampire/slayer deal and that whole Spike thing. Bella was always going to choose Edward even though Jacob was the easier and better choice. (Personally, she can have whiny/sexy/delicious Edward, I will take fine-as-hell Jacob off her hands) McDreamy belongs with Meredith despite having been married when first they met in that wonderful bar. Peyton and Lucas should be together even though I love Brooke more than the both of them combined. Logan and Veronica should have ended up together even though Piz was totally hot, Logan was just it despite his many flaws. Kelly most definately should have been with good-boy Brandon over the playa Dylan, I guess that whole thing just goes to show that even the best of us can't resist the bad boys...even when they're dating our pseudo-best friend Brenda.

In some cases I was absolutely right. Han and Leia got married and had lots of Jedi babies, Edward and Bella got jiggy with it and had Rosemary's baby, McDreamy and Meredith might just tie that knot pretty soon...

Other times I have been horribly mistaken. Kelly wound up preggers with ass-face Dylan's kid, and Ron married Hermione. Can anyone explain this to me? I'm not sure if I will ever get over the fact that the best character in Harry Potter married the worst. I mean, wtf?

Sometimes, I'm left hanging. I still don't know who Veronica chose because somebody had to go and cancel Veronica Mars. Buffy/Angel/Spike was pretty much left wide open. I will probably never know if Kate and Sawyer end up together. That would be too easy. And Peyton might die in childbirth so I'm leaving the possibility of a Lucas/Brooke reunion open.

Anyways, I couldn't tell you exactly why I feel that these people should be together. I can give proof both to prove my point and to the contrary. I can argue both cases. I'm not completely blind to the evidence there is that Dawson should be with Joey, I just disagree. Why, I don't know. I just do. Maybe it's some deep insight into my inner-psyche. Maybe the couples that I root for say something about myself. All I know is that in my mind, The Epilogue of Deathly Hallows does not exist and Harry and Hermione are happily married and in the process of making babies. And as long as it exists in my mind, I can disregard what anybody else says.
