I'm not "pushing a Lavagel/Kimi drama", here or anywhere else. I suppose that, if I were to engage in a moment's introspection (something I don't do very often) I'd have to recognize that I AM seething inwardly with jealousy and resentment of Kimi (more with resentment than with jealousy, certainly, as, despite my reputation as someone who sexualizes everything, I don't delude myself that there is a sexual relationship between the two girls; Kimi is RavRav's friend - and thereby somethng vastly more significant for her than any lover).
Looking at things coldly and rationally, however - something I engage in MUCH more often than I do in introspection - I cannot fail to be aware that being privately or publicly furious at Kimi is going to bring me exactly nothing and get me exactly nowhere. Kimi, to all appearances, belongs - with all but maybe the tiniest, almost-unmentioned part of herself - to a world of light and air and joyous human self-fulfilment that I (like almost everyone else here) have always been excluded from.
To recur to a Greek myth that the notoriously vulgar, stupid and illiterate RavRav has adopted as one of special personal significance for her, Kimi is a Demeter, welcoming her daughter Persephone back into her bosom after her long "season in hell". Observing with my dim Plutonic eyes from the eternal darkness of my underworld, I know that I can never compete with that - and take dubious comfort only in the faith that the few small pomegranate seeds that the maiden Persephone ate from my trembling senile hand, long ago in the days when she still had an account on Stickam, will draw her back again, for another season with me in my darkness, when winter comes.
The "drama" I may be provoking around the "Kimi question" over on CH, then, is not any sort of an attempt to separate mother and daughter - which, as I say, I'm aware would be utterly hopeless, until the pomegranate seeds in Persephone's lovely belly begin to do their work.
The "Kimi Question" over on the other board is simply: "Is the Mother of Light and Summer really an appropriate person to be moderating the darkness of Hell?"
