Buffistas

Buffy! If I wanted to fight, you could tell by the being dead already.

Glory ,'Potential'

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 would think that "delusional" would be accurate and specific.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Drusilla just needs a hug.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Can you drive someone delusional?

I would think so.

Drusilla just needs a hug.

After all, a hug is just a strangle you haven't finished yet.

"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

They're allowed to talk about mental illness, they just can't use the word "crazy" - which is ableist, I guess.

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

Okay, but I don't think that's what happened in the story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I rather think "batshit crazy" is accurate.

When it comes to Drusilla it really is the best term.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I actually look forward to the subject. I would like to think that Mark will sit back and say, "Okay, crazy it is." IRT Dru.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is he okay with "insane" as a clinical term? I can't think of a way to describe Dru's clear break from reality without using "insane" or "crazy" or "psychotic" or something. I mean, I have no doubt she'd be diagnosed with at least one mental illness, if she didn't eat the shrink first.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I mean, I have no doubt she'd be diagnosed with at least one mental illness, if she didn't eat the shrink first.

What does it mean when you're a vampire who can hear voices but you can also prophesize? I mean, on a sanity scale.

Well, before Angelus made her crazy (I remember him describing it to Buffy in some S2 episode, but I disremember which), she had visions, and they seemed to come true (or, if you will, be accurate visions). So that's not really mental illness, though I suppose at that time it would have been seen as such.

But Angelus really drove her around the bend. I don't know what it's called when someone has such a break with reality. That's not dissociative personality disorder, is it?
