Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the con argument - or at least the "cost" argument - really needed to be made to show the cost of that decision

I think it was made, at times. I think the bounding condition was that she had to be pretty shiny, still. Angel was willing to go pretty dark, but even after Giles left, Buffy wasn't a Ben-killer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If there was always a third option there's no dramatic tension. It's like calling it "Deus Ex Machina the Problem Slayer." So I am not convinced that that could be a persistent theme.

I'm listening to the OMWF soundtrack, specifically Walk Through the Fire, and I'm happily imagining ASH and JM in the recording studio together. Mmm.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is the 1 - 7 set any different (except packaging) from the separate sets?

Vampires and human food. Food for humans, not food of humans -- outside of IWRY, what's in canon?

I seem to remember Spike being anomalous (and stating so), but can't think where, with his taste for beer and onion stuff.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I hate there always being an option. Sometimes, the sister needs to bite it.

Yeah, but then someone gets a nifty idea, and suddenly Jason Todd isn't as dead as he seemed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Angel talked about eating to pass the time rather than for nourishment or taste back in the early seasons of Buffy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I mentioned it in scans_daily, and now I feel duty-bound to back it up with something other than IWRY (because the shows contradict each other?) Basically -- there was a scan from Tales of the Vampires that stated that vampires loved candy, and I thought it was contradictory.

I could let it slide, but now I'm curious. Someone's written this all up somewhere, I know it. That's what the internet is for.
