Lara and Harry sitting in a tree.......?

<< < (6/20) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
Has anyone thought Irwins life force is so powerful it is automatically healing his love as she burns from his touch?

forumghost:
Maybe she's changed diets and literally lives on love lol.

Conspiracy Theorist:
I think we are due a denouement as to the origins of the White Court, as part of the process of rescuing Thomas, and this may sweep up Irwins situation.

--- Quote ---So I am not arguing for Lara to be immune to the true love protection, I am providing an alternative (and speculative) way that the true love protection can be overcome apart from him hooking up with someone else, ie., through a wedding. Again the point is that the true love protection will end, not that Lara will be somehow immune to true love.
--- End quote ---

Jenny is not White Court if I remember correctly.. But it really doesn't matter, we've had this debate for years, if one is raped for example that blows one's true love protection.  It doesn't seem fair, but there you are. It's the physical sex act with another that blows the true love protection.  Even if Will didn't know it was Jenny, it was still Jenny, so that counts.  Harry is going to remain deeply in love with Murphy's memory for some time, if he takes up with another woman in the next year, his protection is blown... Lara may insist that he does, not taking a chance that he is still protected even though Murphy is dead.

BrainFireBob:
True love's not the thing. An act of true love's the thing.

Seems to function like ports. Vampire plugs in via holes in the security scan, an act of true love turns on security.

A wedding, sexual intercourse, and significant acts of self-sacrifice are the three turn-on acts we've seen in-series. If the act is done without true love, true love protection is over-written/displaced.

But it's when the act is done out of feeling that protection occurs, not just having the feeling. Until they were intimate, Harry had no protection from Murphy. If he falls in love with someone else or out of love with Murphy, his protection from an act of true love should remain.

Edit:

Connie and Irwin have a relationship where perhaps they are falling in love, but their intercourse was out of being teens. Her Hunger was sated without being exploded, so it never "woke up." How the heck that interacts, we don't know. Would touching Harry burn her, or is it only when they try to feed? Does Connie ever try to feed aside from mid coitus with Irwin?
