I thought Taylor having a crush on Ryan was cute. Probably because I never thought it would work (they don't make sense--she's too high strung and demanding for him) and yet they did put them together. The whole Ryan day dreaming about her was just weird.
But you know what, even that I could have been okay with. But they had her so demanding and she was pushing Ryan to do things he wasn't ready for. Not pushing him to talk or express himself when he was down, but demanding expressions of love from a man who has never been good with words. That Ryan continually put up with that amazes me. Saying I love you to someone isn't a birthday present, its a declaration and I don't think Ryan is a person who throws words around like that lightly. Maybe he *cared* for her a lot, but love can't be force and Taylor always felt like she was trying to force it out of him.
And it bothered me that they couldn't go an episode without breaking up or having a fight. Like why couldn't there be other issues besides their psychotic relationship? They'd either start the episode happy and end on a bad note, or start the episode bad and end on a good not. It was frustrating and annoying because the way she pushed him, I imagine a person like Ryan backing away. I don't think they had enough time for their feelings to be as strong for each other as the writers wanted us to think.
Taylor didn't want Ryan the same way Marissa didn't want Ryan. They wanted this version of him that didn't really exist and I was BOTHERED by that. Why can't anyone want this guy for who he is? Not trying to change him.
BTW I will get to the SPN threads soon. We got a bunny this weekend and so I've been spending time playing with her and stuff, plus I leave for Disneyworld on Staurday so I'm trying to get ready for that too.
