It's impossible to discuss Drusilla without mentioning that she's a lunatic!
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm rewatching "Ted" right now, and Willow just looked at a chocolate chip cookie under a high school microscope and determined that it was laced with a tranquilizer. She's blinding me with science!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They're allowed to talk about mental illness, they just can't use the word "crazy" - which is ableist, I guess.
So you can say Drusilla is mentally ill?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I would think that "delusional" would be accurate and specific.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So you can say Drusilla is mentally ill?
I have no idea. We weren't allowed to call Azula a sociopath despite her exhibiting all the signs. But Drusilla has a problem with her brain being missing. It's kind of a thing.

I rather think "batshit crazy" is accurate.

Can you drive someone delusional? Didn't Angelus torture her into a break with reality? She's not delusional--she's psychic, after all. She's just...unhinged.
I don't see how he could stop you talking about a plot point and have it be conducive to discussion.

Drusilla just needs a hug.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would think so.
Drusilla just needs a hug.
After all, a hug is just a strangle you haven't finished yet.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Can I just say this sticks in my craw, and I've actually flown over the cuckoo's nest in the last 3 months.
