Julie, depressing me in Firefly:

I told someone else on another board- Joss was in love with Buffy and he still loves her, he just doesn't want to be with her.

And just because Daddy Joss left mummy Buffy doesn't mean that he doesn't still care about us. And Auntie Firefly is probably a nice person, and no, she isn't mummy. But no matter what happens between her and Daddy, he STILL isn't coming home to mummy.

billytea in Buffy:

I mean, you can take a concept like 'that feeling you get, when you lean back in your chair, and you lean back just a little too far and overbalance, and you catch yourself just in time', and find that the Germans have a single word for it. And that it translates the original phrase exactly, only with the spaces missing.

Yerg. And again with the spelling mistakes. ita, could I ask you to change 'oringal' to 'original'? I've fixed up the original (so to speak).

Well, that explains some of the posts in the Buffy thread, at least. I was really confused.

Trudy:

All in favor of rubbing my temples and taking this very big knife out of my hand step right this way!

billytea:

Trudy, the knife says it loves you. But it is not your friend. Frankly, it's kind of codependent too. This is why I never set foot in the kitchen now. Just can't take all the passive-aggressive whining. Honestly, you use chopsticks once...

Erm. Anyway. This knife is not worthy of Super Porny Pants. It's not even worthy of an alter ego. Nay, forsake the knife; return it whence it came. You'll feel better for it. Honest.

From the Fanfic thread:

Fay - Only, from what I've gleaned, the name/appearance/speech patterns/biographical details/whatever of the RP in question are being appropriated in the manner of players of Fantasy Football.

Hil - But Fantasy Football pretty much just uses the players' performance on the field. The players' personalities, private lives, sex lives, etc., don't make any difference in which team wins.

connie neil - I dunno, if he got laid the night before it could have a big influence on how he plays.

ita - (Is that true? Does sex really affect that? Maybe I've been having the wrong sex)

connie neil - If it were really, um, athletic sex, he might be tired.

ita - (good for him. but he needs to work on his conditioning)

Susan W, over in Buffy, but non-spoilery:

It does, however, piss me off that there are people out there taking my views to such an absurd, morally indefensible extreme that I feel the need to justify holding the reasonable version.

Allyson in Natter pn pet choices:

I hate cats. They poop in a sandbox in the house, eat all your food, and never say thank you. They could at least do the dishes. There's already one arrogant bitch in my house, I got no room for another.

Katie M., in Angel:

Dammit. If I ever do a heist, I'm going to have to buy a wig.

FayJay in NAFDA Angel (non-spoilery):

Captain Logic is not just absent from the wheel of the Slayer Raison D'etre Tugboat, he's slit his own throat, flung himself overboard and been devoured by ravenous Screaming Eels of Sentimental Guff.

Katie M:

My first (and only) experience with RPS was "huh. This is about Gillian Anderson, not Scully? Weird, I wonder what... oh, now she's getting on the Internet. And looking at... M/S fanfic... and... oh God what is she doing with her hand? Back, back, back!" It felt rather like someone had lost their grip on the separation between actor and character, and it gave me the icks.

t edit Although, RPF, not RPS.
