Description FULL VIEW! THY WINGS COMMANDITH YE!

I figured my pens and markers needed a break, so I decided to try out my new colored pencils. Been a while since I’ve done anything with those. At any rate…

THAT RING NEEDS TO DIE! I’m serious! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good D/S story, but it’s really starting to irritate me how so many people have adopted the Wes ring as the symbol of the D/S relationship. I think everyone’s forgetting a few key facts about the stupid thing;

1.) Danny had meant to give it to Valerie. (Which I wasn’t too happy about, given the fact that Sam’s name was still on it. You think Danny would be smarter then that… Then again, he was taking dating tips from Jack Fenton, of all people, so I guess that doesn’t rate his intelligence too high, ne?)

2.) The only reason Sam’s name was on it was because of Jack. (It was a little presumptuous of him to do that, but then again it *is* Jack… at any rate, Danny never intended to have it engraved to Sam, considering that he didn’t even know it existed until his dad gave it to him.)

3.) Danny did not give Sam the ring as a way to secretly tell her that he was madly in love with her. (LET THIS ONE DIE ALREADY!!!! Danny was depressed over his break up, he would’ve given the ring to TUCKER if he’d been the one to approach Danny first! It’s a total insult to Danny’s character to assume he’s shallow enough to move on just like that.)

4.) Even if Danny and Sam do get together, the ring should still be left out of the relationship. (This is just a personal opinion of mine. Recycled tokens of affection seem extremely tacky to me, and Sam deserves to get better then that. Especially given that she knows it’s a recycled token of affection. There’s no way she’ll be able to look at that ring without thinking about how it was originally meant for Valerie, which would in turn lead to her feeling totally insecure about the relationship.)

Okay… I think that’s all… Definitely feel better now that I’ve got that off my chest… DOWN WITH THE WES RING!



I’m done now.

I agreed WHOLEHEARTEDLY about this ring...In fact, I've only read one story involving this ring that I liked, and thats because it actually drove a wedge between Danny and Sam, starting a chain reaction to bigger stuff. And it mad Sam angry because she found her name engraved on it, knowing Danny intended giving it to Valerie, i.e. recycled token of affection like you said.

But I really agree with you, this ring needs to be melted to scrap before I read another "Wes" story and barf!

Good points. But it was SO FUNNY when she said "Wes? Who's Wes?" Yeahh...I didn't know people were using that as a symbol now >.>
Actually, it does sort of work. He got over Valerie, so now it's going to its true owner...

That's not what I'm saying, a gift originally meant for one girl shouldn't just be handed over to any other like that, since it makes Danny look cheap and superficial.

I completely agree with your stand. Specially with your point about recycled tokens of affection. Heck... Sam (supposedly) doesn't like conventional things, right? So why would she make an exception when it comes to making a relationship 'official' with a ring or any other token?

*Sigh* People can be weird sometimes... ( No, really? )

I hate the WES ring with a passion, though I loved Danny's obsessing over it in FWD. ("I have to give her the ring, she's not my girlfriend until I give her the ring")

rockersweetie13 [2006-08-23 20:57:51 +0000 UTC]

I agree with all over those points. Especially the last one. If Danny does love Sam, he wouldn't give her the ring. That's just insulting.

If Danny is gonna give Sam a ring at some point, fine. I don't really care. Infact, I think the idea of that is pretty cute. But for crying out loud. If he gets her a ring, get her a different one and not use the stinking WES one. You know how cheap that'll make him look? I'm just saying.

WingsofMorphius In reply to Samantha-GirlScout [2006-08-24 13:40:31 +0000 UTC]

Because Danny still couldn't see that se liked him more then as friends. That bothers me a little too, actually, considering the fact that I think Danny would notice if he wasn't busy forthing to protect himself and those around him while still attemtpting to pass high school. That's enough stress to load on once kid without getting all over their case because thier best friend is too shy to come out with how she really feels.

I think the ring is pretty. XD; It's a pretty color. Although there should be something else as a token for their (pending) relationship, that's the only tangible thing that hard core D/S fans ( aka myself) have. XD;

Okay, okay, I think the ring is a little bit stupid, but hey, whatever, man.
