but she is cray-cray!
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...
Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know, I don't see Dru as Luna Lovegood. Luna is so much stronger than Dru ever was pre-vamp.

You could say he damaged her.
Hell, he broke her.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hell, Luna was imprisoned for some undisclosed (or at least I can't remember the specifics) length of time at Malfoy Manor, with Bellatrix, and they couldn't break her.
Sigh. Now I want to see Angelus attempting and failing to break Luna, or Luna un-breaking Dru.

or Luna un-breaking Dru.
This! This! Luna meets Dru while searching for the Crumple-Horned Snorkback, and decides to make a project of her!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Mark didn't seem to notice the Die Hard tribute. I wonder if he hasn't seen Die Hard.

I just read his "School Hard" piece, and came across the warning.
A note on commenting about this particular episode: I know you are going to want to call Spike “crazy” to describe his behavior or characterization, so I’m going to just go ahead and ask you not to. First of all, if you’re not familiar, it is considered a slur and I don’t allow it on the site to be used except in a reclamation sense. I don’t care if you use it in your life and I’m not interested in telling anyone how to talk in their own life or own communities. But this is a large, public community here and it’s fairly diverse. I’m just trying to look out for those who might be marginalized. Can we all try to do this around here? THANK YOU I LOVE YOU ALL YOU’RE THE BEST.
My first reaction was absolute puzzlement -- why on earth would anyone call Spike crazy? There are many ajectives that apply to Spike, but crazy isn't one of them.
I followed the link he supplied to explain why "crazy" is considered a slur. The link doesn't provide an alternative phrase to use in the eventuality that a person really does have mental problems (and although the site states at the top that it isn't intended to tell people what words they can and can't use, obviously Mark uses it that way).
This is my first exposure to his site. Has he never come across characters before who have mental problems? Does he have the same delicacies about physical issues?

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
It feels like someone warned him that a problematic character would be showing up in School Hard that has a mental illness and somehow he thinks it's Spike. That last paragraph is rather odd.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm a bit baffled at his lack of attention to Drusilla, too.
