Spoilers Harlequin: Peter - The Pimp in training

[ravenhaley.livejournal.com]

I took Flo's adivce and decided to make a thread about Peter.

So Peter is suppose to come to St. Louis with Edward and Olaf. 

Here are the Spoilers for the Harlequin:

Peter gets clawed pretty good by a weretiger trying to help Anita.

He needs rough sex because he has issues with women because of his rape by Amanda in OB- and it was too rough for his first two girlfriends.

And, the kicker of it all - but no big surprise- he has a crush on Anita and she's his hero because she saved his family.

This is just gross. Peter having a crush on Anita is just wrong, but of course he has to crush on her ... there is no one else for him to crush on who isn't the "DIETY". 

In the timeline, Peter is suppose to be 14/15 years old. Yet, it would seem LKH will forget about his age because she forgets everything else (i.e. Asher smokes, Damian's age and oh how about a PLOT!)

But this isn't the first time LKH has mention sex and someone under the age of 18. If I remember, DM had the Siren making deals with Anita to sleep with her kids for them to come into their powers. I only thing one of them is over the age limit. So this doesn't surprise me. It is very much the direction of where LKH has gone now. The only thing on her mind is sex, sex, and more sex. For it is the only thing she writes about and there isn't anything to stop her including age limit.

As for Peter, I am not surprise this is where they are taking him. Look at Nate for crying out loud. This was a creature Anita was trying to help since BO and BM. Yet, somewhere from OB and NIC he no longer became this scared helpless barely over the age of 18 who was abused and kicked to the sideline. Oh no, he became a "stud muff"    Which I never got that. Nate is not a strong character. I still see the character as a broken boy who doesn't know how to take care of himself without selling himself one way or another. That alone is a reason I never liked the character.

There is just some things you can cross the line but others you can't. Furry sex and underage sex is just things no one should touch. Someone apparently doesn't know that. We have seen Furry sex  .... it is a matter of time for the other and it looks like it could be this next book. Of course, to justify the means LKH will just forget Peter's real ago and call him 18. I mean his "fake" ID says so. *eyeroll*

I think LKH won't write about therapy maybe because she is afraid she will learn that sex can't and will not solve your problems. Instead of drinking like most "normal" people, LKH has made Anita and the rest of the characters think sex is the answer to the questions. Anita still hasn't gotten over her mother's death or her father re-marrying. How about her ex who left her because she was mixed. She still harbors these issues and is making her life evening more of a mess the more she buries the problems underneath the next person she sleeps with.

Or maybe this is just life imitating art? 

Thoughts?

<<Great. Fantastic. LKH couldn't paint a better picture of someone who has been raped and the way they cope, since they all seem to cope in exactly the same way. Hell I'm surprised that Richard's mother isn't out doing the same thing.>>

Oh, she just annoys me! I know for a fact that not everyone goes out after being raped and has sex! I was molested as a kid, and I admit, what happened to me was rather tame, but it was scarring for me and my sister.

A neighbor boy when I was seven taught my sister and I how to french kiss. He locked us in my room and forced us to learn. If we didn't go over to him, he'd pull us over. He was in his teens at the time. My sister and I told our parents the next day, but I sometimes wonder how much worse it could have been if we hadn't. We got lucky.

However, it scarred the both of us. We didn't go out and want to practice kissing on anyone in. In fact, I hated it. I wouldn't let any guy kiss me until I was 18. I didn't want to be reminded of what happened in my bedroom. I was honestly scared to death when any boyfriend leaned in to kiss me.

I may just be projecting, but that's how I always pictured how people react to being violated. They don't want a repeat of it! I do admit, some might, but my own private experience shows me that some of us like to stay away from it.

My sister and I have dealt with this. We're both ok now. But how LKH treats rape victims disgusts me.

I know your disgust.

I've been lucky but some of those closest and dearest to me haven't. And she just takes what they've been through and trivialises it. She really needs to do some research and get hit by the cluebat. Hell I'm not by nature a violent person but there are times I want to slap her and tell her to just get a grip on life.

I'm glad for you that it wasn't worse. There are some things you don't come back from too well.

Those of us that do seek out what we've experienced do it in a controlled manner, with someone we trust, in a situation that we dominate 100%. It takes years to build up the emotional tolerance to even ask for what you want, much less go part way there.

The way LKH is writing it? I dread to think what goes on in her head but it defys reason.
