She may not be able to have everything she wants or be everything she wants to be, but that’s just life. If she’s true to herself she still can get to have enough. She may not end up having a blissful life, but she’ll definitely end in a better place than she was at the beggining.

It seems like a battle with Carrie, but really the battle is with himself.

I think when the anon was comparing, he/she was refering to the scenes as how they’re visually perceived. Carrie and Aayan never had a romantic relationship to begin with, but they had scenes that “looked” romantic, where they were cuddling on the bed, smiling at eachother and even laughing. It’s not about wanting the same context that the relationships between C/A, C/B or even C/J have, obviously. And a little bit of “cliched garbage” wouldn’t be that bad, would it? (foreheads touching, hand reaching for the other’s hand, for example). Being the emotions behind it real, of course.

I think that everybody wants to create, to do something that feels genuine and kinetic and spontaneous. I think actors want to surprise themselves. When it's really good, you kind of transcend yourself, and that happens infrequently. Very, very rarely. You might get one or two of those moments on a film, say, and sometimes they don't even use the takes where that happens. And I'm not really that moralistic about how you get there.

I’ve considered this possibility too, but I’m in denial

I agree. That's what I meant with being more tuned with other people's emotions and needs (in this particular case with Quinn's). But there are insecurities that are hard to move on from, so there still might be a little part of her, the irrational one, that could make her doubt and wonder if it's about her, even if her rational part understands it's not.

I actually have one C/B vid half made (I started it before s4). Who knows if I'll ever finish it, though...

I used to have nightmares when I was a little kid that I woke up prematurely and opened all the Christmas presents. And then I would be so relieved when I woke up and I realized that I hadn’t done it.
