Faith?
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Faith in the alley at the end of "Five by Five," maybe.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For the sake of procrastination (ye gods, I do NOT want to be at work today!), the Endless from least to most Wooberific:
Death, Desire, Destiny, Destruction, Delerium, Dream, Despair.
[edited to show that I know the difference between least and most]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
people that try to give off an image of strong or scary, but don't back it up and make you want to hug them anyway
See, Cass is strong and scary. She can beat Batman in hand to hand combat. The implication, however, that she's emotionally strong (as opposed to precisely cauterised) that one may draw from her physical capability is where the woobie comes in. She's a lost little girl who can beat the world's best non-meta assassin.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Desire at second? Really? I've had maybe one halfway wooberific moment about Desire, and the rest of the time wanted to wring its fucking neck. As the good Gaiman intended, I think.
Hey, Broomy, you should buy me all of Sandman for my birthday. I'm just saying.Come over to my house. I'll let you read them all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
and Summer, really? How do you figure?
Because I finally understood the crazy Spike fans mindset when I wanted to stomp Seth and Anna into little bits for hurting her and found myself actually *angry*. Because I often want to wrap her in a blanket and feed her soup. She's so my woobiegirl.

Gack! That was completely backwards! Is fixed now!
[edit: I also have the woobie feelings about Summer. People should just BE NICE TO HER, DAMNIT.]

I figured it had to be, because in no way is Death a woobie. A role-model, hell yes. But not a woobie.

Maybe it's a term that can only apply to people that try to give off an image of strong or scary, but don't back it up and make you want to hug them anyway.
Aeryn is actually strong and scary, and does not project a need for hugs. She's not a woobie. Chiana, however? Total woobie.
