dames vs rushton

[Lauren Hedgehog]

It's easy
Rushton= paranoid, overprotective, jealous . though in his defence he is likely stressed much of the time, what with all his responsibilities as a leader

Dameon= some say he is too passive, but he is kind, lovely, supportive, wouldn't hold Elf back and can deal with his own emotions ( Elf has enough emotional problems of her own, without having to constantly deal with the moodiness/angstyness of her partner *pokes Rushton* )


and that is why Dameon is the best for Elf

[Maryon]

Still it's in Rushtons favour , polls are always right!!!!! (I'm not quite that naive but thats my argument!!!!!!) GO RUSHTON!!

[Lauren Hedgehog]

Sorry, but the poll says that about 70% of people think that Rushton is better for Elf than Deamon. Since Deamon doesn't even exist in the series it's no wonder he only got 30% of the votes (though the fact that a character who doesn't even exist got a third of the results is worrying ). While I don't agree, I could see how many people could think that Rushton would be a better partner than an imaginary partner


hehehe.. I can see Elf becoming the crazy cat lady, talking to her imaginary friends

[Schis]

I think, regardless of this spelling mistake (which i had not even noticed), people were aware of who they were voting, ie, the 30% new they were voting for Dameon not deamon, it doesnt take a genius to work out who it is ment to be.

[Lauren Hedgehog]

Dameon is still better

[Natally]

Really huh huh?
Well we've seen how well Rushton is with Elf, but we haven't seen all that much of Dames and Elf together, from the begginning when she thought he was staring at her, *(possibly in a loving gaze, love at first sense?) to when he dissappeared for a while at Sador

*sigh* Well it doesn't matter anyhoo because we know who's the better bondmate *nudges Rushton*

[grunty]

[shadow=teal,left,300]ahhhhhhhhhh so so soooo sorry ppl i just noticed i spelt dameon wrong! dan typos! :S really that wasnt my intention...adn i cant work out how to fix it :S sooo sorry![/shadow]

In further support of my point that people new who they were voting for and thus Rushton has the most support is seen on the very first page where Miska points out the error. Just thought Id let you know about that... and also, it seems as if I have formed an opinion and so will therefore join the Rushton Ranks.

And Grunty, they are arguing about who Elspeth will be with.

[ralirra]

I think Dameon's best for Elspeth because Rushton's all moody and brooding and tries to keep her locked up in a cage, and Dameon's really sweet. I think Elspeth needs someone sweet and comforting.

[Madame Kat]

...I actually decided that I don't really mind who Elspeth is with, whatever makes her happy right? But that still doesn't stop my hatred of Ruston.
But I'd would like Elspeth to know how much Dameon really cares for her.

[flicker]

Hmmm...how about we say that Dameon is better suited for Elspeth...but she is too blinded by her love for Rushton to notice?

[~*~Neisha~*~]

[mystics]Nuh. How bout we don't Rushie and Elf are perfect for each other! They're both the broody, strong type and so they can undertand each other! Elspeth is waaaay too independent to be with some lovesick wuss like Dameon. He's too needy! [/mystics]

[Min]

Needy!!!!! Rush is FAR more needy than Dameon!! What of Rushton's inferiority complex?
Dameon at least respects Elspeth's decisions. Rushton just goes and sulks whenever Elspeth does anything.

[Siryn]

Rushton! Rushton all the way! I love my Rushton.

Alternatively, if we could get them both together........in some kind of mud wresling scenerio.....

[Arctic Firefox]

My advice to Elspeth (who can't hear me but never mind): STAY SINGLE! It will save you so much trouble, especially if Matthew ever returns and claims he loves you too! Besides, if Rushton and Dameon were drowning, you would have to choose to save your bondmate (which ever it will be), wouldn't you? So, just stay single and tell them to learn how to swim!

[Fuil Dearg]

Rushton. She's in love with Rushton and he just seems to suit her better as a bondmate than Dameon. Dameon is more emotional balanced, confident, sure and mature. But she's in love with Rushton and Dameon is only a friend. I think she looks at him very much that way and not any other. A very close friend but nothing romantic. Its more important who she is in love with than how well suited they are and how good they are at relationships.

[Domick]

*Realises with horror how long it's been since she had a good Dames/Rushton arguement*

Dameon! Someone pointed dout how similar Rushton and Elspeth are, and that is exactly why she should be with Dames! They both tend to brood, they're both a little insecure, so they both need people who will balance them out. Dames would be able to cope fine with Elf's inability to express her emotions because he could sense them and he's far more accepting of the fact that sometimes Elf actually has to do something without his permission. Seriously people, can you honestly envision the following conversation...

Elf: Oh, Rushie, I'm just going of on a quest with Swallow, Gahltha and Maruman to save the world. Do you mind?

Rushton: Yes dear, off you trot.

I see it far more like this...

Elf: Oh, Rushie, I'm just going of on a quest with Swallow, Gahltha and Maruman to save the world. Do you mind?

Rushton: But Obernewtyn needs you! We do! Wait a second... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING WITH SWALLOW?! FIRST DAMEON, NOW SWALLOW. YOU'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HIM ALL ALONG, HAVEN'T YOU? WELL, I TELL YOU, YOU CAN LEAVE BUT YOU ARE DUMPED!

Elf: But...

Rushton: *Sulks*

Which is precisely why Dames is best for Elf.

I think that it is hard to deside who Elf should be with because we all have our personal opinion and have only said good things about either Rushton or Dameon and never suggestiong that they both have good qualities.

Sure Rushton is Broody, a bit arrogant and a little of a fool, but he has his qualities because he loves Elsepth so much. He is well - respected and the Master of Obernewtyn and is generally a good person to trust and a nice person to be around with if you're on hs good side, which is mostly everyone except Malik, Arile, etc.

We know that Dameon is an Empath and so that could contribute towards his sensitivity. But being sensitive is who he is and that is wonderfull. He is also very trustworthy, extremely kind, and in love with Elspeth. Of course he lis in love with Elspeth, you would be a dim fool not to notice, but that is what sets him back. The fact that Elsepeth does not return his love makes him more needy and 'clingy' or Elspeth and relies on her more than Rushton does. He is a nice boy and I would love to have him as a friend.

Both people have good arguments and so it is hard to decide whom you think is more suitable for Elspeth. I guese we have to wait and see!

[Min]

The thing that gets me is that Rushton is Master of Obernewtyn because - why? Genetics. Inheritance.
Dameon is called - by many a person - Rushton's conscience. Implying that without Dameon's guidance and advice, Rushton wouldn't be perceived as a very adept master at all.

In saying that, I think Elspeth's fallen in love with Rushton because of Dameon. Dameon's own emotions of love have projected onto Rushton and as Elspeth can't pick up emotions, she has gone for the one that's in front of her face.

I expect Gypsywanderer's scenario will be true - Rushton will not like the fact the Elspeth's taking off. For that matter, she might not tell him that she's going at all.

My point to all this is that Elspeth really loves Dameon. She's just been blinded / fooled by some muddled emotions.

YEA! I don't like the system of a monarchy anyway! Down with the Seraphim monarchy! ;D

I swore I'd never join this debate, but I'd forgotten what a jerk Rushton was in Ashling.

[Maryon]

Well Elspeth is a bit of a jerk to him isn't she

[Min]

How so Rora?

LOL AF!!! "Down with the Seraphim Monarchy!!!"

[catwhisperer]

I for one get annoyed when guys go after me that i don't like... elf luvs Rushton an that's just the way it is!

[Arien]

One example of Elf being a jerk to Rushton- when she saw him and Freya talking together on the boat. She gave him the cold shoulder big time!! You can't say she's not posessive of him, like he's posessive of her

Min- you're saying that Dameon's own emotions of love have projected onto Rushton? So, you're saying that Rushton doesn't really love Elf, he's merely acting on emotions that aren't his own?

[Domick]

I'm bored, I have access to photoshop and I was chuckling over AFs rebellion against the monarchy, so I made this...



I might just put it in my sig...
