Trying To Tell You No, But My Body Keeps On Telling You Yes

Gigi: Where do you ski?
Me: ON HER MOUNTAIN OF STUDENT LOAN BILLS, GOD GIGI, HAVEN’T YOU BEEN WATCHING THE VIDEOS?

Also, I’m been watching some of the most recent Lydia videos and-

Note, NONE of what I am about to say is meant to excuse or counterbalance the fact that George is a complete user.

-goddamn does that boy look like a good kisser! Like, on an aesthetic level, him and Lydia exchanging sweet, sleepy kisses was adorbs!

…also, weirdly, the fact that they either a.) haven’t had sex or b.) haven’t had sex since that one time in Vegas is freaking me the fuck out. Because sleeping platonically together SOUNDS so wonderful and respectful of Lydia and yet I know that George is 100% bad news (the fact that he’s blowing off his relationship with Lizzie and discouraging Lydia from reaching out says it all right here NOT TO MENTION HIS RIDICULOUS REVISIONIST HISTORY).

What is your game, Wickem? What vile, depraved, emotionally destructive jackassery is waiting in store for Lydia? (I am kind of on the edge of my seat to see how Lydia's story is adapted.)

The fact that Wickham looks like an awesome dudely man to cuddle and a great kisser and says things that SOUND sweet really is wigging me out. If I didn't know what was going on I'd be shipping it so fast and yikes. But. Goddamn, sir.

Okay, so I've really been suspicious of them NOT having sex. I had expected they fucked in Vegas (maybe they did, but there's no definiitive indication) but not since they started dating? And here's the thing- as far as we know from what Lydia and Lizzie have both said, Lydia is not exactly prudish. She sleeps with guys. She doesn't always practice safe sex, allegedly. And now she's with George, and... they're NOT having sex? That's really out of character for Lydia. Like, to the point where I'm wondering if that's some of George controlling her life, convincing her that she uses one night stands to avoid intimacy with guys so therefore he won't have sex with her until she's all his. I don't know if that's exactly the explanation, but I am pretty certain Lydia would go ahead and have sex, George has no qualms about what ladies he fucks, and Lydia is ceding more and more control to him, so I'm thinking them not having sex is all on him. And there's a specific reason for it.

I feel the shipping tug, even knowing what a shameless user he is.

i feel like that's the only logical answer, and it's making me SO SCARED for Lydia because I feel like in the future, so many of her interaction with decent guys are going to be painted with this brush, and she's going to think that people who AREN'T trying to hurt her are, based on this experience.
