I get a bit of other thing from her too - as if she finally figured out that the characters she luurves so much have reached their end, there's nothing more she can pull out of them plot(sic!)-wise and instead of killing them off or replacing them or, dunno, making them interesting, she seeks validation from her fans that no, she doesn't have to. That her babies are okay the way they are. All that creepy love smells of desperation.
