Something I read a bit ago on the Oitnb wiki page still bothers me and I wanted to get your take on it, since it appears you are go-to question gal, lol. Under Alex's info page in the s3 summary it states that "...Alex is no longer able to hurt Piper during sex, which makes Piper less interested in being intimate with her." I disagree with that as the reason why they start to drift away. No support for that idea, for one thing. Your take?
I agree with the Wiki statement BUT I had no clue re: s3 Piperās behaviour until I read some excellent posts by a few fans here on tumblr, specifically:
this one by @submalevolent-gracethis one by @alxvseand my reblog of posts by @thefundamental and @baroquemirrors
To anyone who is still scratching their heads about s3 Piper, I cannot recommend those 3 posts highly enough--they offer excellent insight into her actions.
Ok, so to answer your specific āaskā about the Vauseman hate-sex in s3, Iāll quote two bits from the last link above:"Alex stops wanting to hurt her but piper still desperately believes she deserves to be hurt."(@thefundamental) and "Piperās fine with it up until that point. It feels good to have intimacy that hurts in a justified way. It feels deserved. But then when Alex really truly forgives her, just completely surrenders and offers Piper unconditional love and support, Piper doesnāt actually want it. It makes her feel worse because she doesnāt deserve it.ā (@baroquemirrors). The whole post is excellent and Iām glad I reblogged it because the original posts are gone :/
Thanks for the āaskā!Ā
