Buffistas

What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Discussion Threads

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

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

{points at what Hec said} Hey, I would like those conditions! I just . . . know better. Which occasionally makes me sad. I don't want to be a grown-up today.

I don't think any of the youngsters on TikTok and Instagram indulging the Cottagecore aesthetic are doing anything other than refining their taste. It's more about decorating your kitchen or planning your Sunday picnic, or doing a garden or laying out an outfit than actually planning on owning a rural cottage.

Nobody into Dark Academia is going to be owning a private college anytime soon, they just like the vibe.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I'm overthinking, I know.

"Sure, cottages are cute but a thatched roof is no picnic! And don't get me started on aphids and dry rot!"

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like the aesthetic of both cottagecore and dark academia. But I’d like them to come with WiFi.

not your mom's socks.

~t, with permission, I'd love to let Rick know he has a fan. (also stick around for a certain m-preg in space / espionage short story by someone who is likely me in July, maybe)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I learned to avoid the T. Kingfisher horror stories - read one and it seriously scared me; I was glad I was reading it during the day rather than at night. I do, however, love her other work, so I'll keep buying those.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Please do, hippocampus! And, of course, I will eagerly await July

I do these things for you all .... (also it was a lot of fun to write)

Another heads up is a Goblin Market meets high fashion during New York's social season story coming out next month in Uncanny...

t - Rick was delighted

IN other News, not about me: help my reading is going too slowly. I think I broke myself by reading The Obsession, which was recommended bc I'm looking for a romance/thriller for the syllabus and that is NOT what we will be using. Who's got recs.
