Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

That was so gross.

It was. It really was.

Neat kind of spell, though. If you could do it on purpose...

Cereal:

Buffy: That made no sense.
Spike: And I'm proud.
Joss Whedon: You may now join my writing staff.

Yeah. (Also, plot bunny... groan... )

Does anyone else with BBC find Manchild hugely disturbing? It's like, the 'Giles in England' show, or something. Yech.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I quite like it, myself. It is difficult to take ASH's character too seriously, and it's hardly great television, but it passes the time pleasantly enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I watched it, but found it doesn't really bear looking at in repeats. And ASH's character reads differently enough from Giles that I find I have to work at imagining our Watcher standing there half naked.

Though, it occured to me if I were vidding Giles, I'd totally sneak in Manchild images.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Nope, too much a Dad-figure for me, and Dads are like Ken dolls, with the being asexual. I did watch the first series though, but that was probably because I was too lazy to change the channel...

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I adore Manchild. I think it's hysterical, altough I do get the weird, "Wow! Giles is different at home. And he's got erectile dysfunction!"moments, which are disconcerting.

Um. I quite often fancy older blokes. For example, on Eastenders, far and away the most fanciable bloke, imho, is Patrick, played by Rudolph Walker . Whose age is tricky to find online, but who's definitely old enough to be my dad, given that he arrived in the UK from Trinidad in 1960.

Our wings are not tired.

Giles does not have erectile dysfunction!
