So, playing the role of Perkins, which Buffyverse chacter do fans have the biggest blindspot for? Or, which character do you, dear Reader, have a blindspot for?

Honestly, I think my biggest blindspot is Connor sized, because Connor is just a WEE MISUNDERSTOOD WOOBIEMAN!

Ahem.

Xander, do wrong? Xander's never done wrong in his life, right? He was always in the right.

(Yeah, my Xander blindspot is large.)

---

(I thought you were being literal, because Xander himself has the biggest blindspot.)

(Then I remembered she was asking about OUR blindspots. D'oh.)

---

I thought you were being literal

I was. In a really metaphoric way.

Or something.

(I saw it before you deleted and was highly amused.)

I thought you were being literal, because Xander himself has the biggest blindspot.

GAH! Which then hits me all over again that his eye loss isn't just symbolic of him being the "one who sees," but of his own blindspot toward himself. Talk about poetic justice....

I saw it before you deleted and was highly amused.

See, Xander as the answer to that question is just FUNNY, damn it!

So I'll repeat the deleted thumbs up, just remember to avoid the occular area with the aforementioned digits.

Women are Cthonian

Is this a fancied up way of saying women are closer to the earth?

I remember the term "queer" being used, but it's possible that both were. No cites I can recall, though I probably followed a link from here.

Heh. I've probably brought it up in the past. I have a half-memory of mentioning this before, and someone finding the piece I was talking about, and linking to it. I've googled for it, but I don't remember enough of it to use unique or meaningful search terms. I'm coming up with a lot of stuff, just not the stuff I meant.

Of course, as my main objection is of the BMECT! variety, potkettleblack.

BMECT? What's that, Plei?

So, playing the role of Perkins, which Buffyverse chacter do fans have the biggest blindspot for? Or, which character do you, dear Reader, have a blindspot for?

Classic fandom? Willow.

Post-modern fandom? Spike.

Me? Buffy, with a small side-order of Xander.

I think my blindspots are more akin to I-don't-care spots, but I suppose that by definition, blind-spots are something we don't know we have. That is, I don't think I don't see their nasty bits. I think I appreciate their nasty bits, in the way, I think, that Jessica might have meant when she was discussing Willow.

There's another kind of real blindspot, or at least it seems, where people don't see the bad their favorite characters do, or wank it away harder than the average blind-spotter. I think that's the sort of thing Plei's mentioning with a fraction of the Spike fen.

See, Xander as the answer to that question is just FUNNY, damn it!

So I'll repeat the deleted thumbs up, just remember to avoid the occular area with the aforementioned digits.

Oof.

Honestly, I think my biggest blindspot is Connor sized, because Connor is just a WEE MISUNDERSTOOD WOOBIEMAN!

You don't think Wes is your blindspot?

You know what I realized or remembered over the last couple of weeks when we were watching season 2? I didn't like Jenny Calendar. Jenny's my anti-blindspot, far more than Willow.

Don't get me wrong, Jenny's murder was shocking, and I feel so sorry for Giles, and for the gang, too. I would have liked to see their story continue. My heart breaks when Dru hypnotizes him in Becoming, and makes him think he's talking to and kissing Jenny, when he's really spilling the beans to Dru. But even when I put aside that Jenny was a mole for team vengeance, and endangered the Scoobies and the world (because we don't know that until so soon before she dies), I think she was nasty to Giles. Go Angelus with the neck snap. Do it again.

Connor is just a WEE MISUNDERSTOOD WOOBIEMAN!

Plei is me.

My blind spot has a definite Giles-ish shape to it.
