Aha. I have very little Firefly knowledge.
I tried, people. I really, really tried.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Since nobody likes Inara, and I know who Gina Torres is, I assume Jewel was the mechanic whose name I can't remember?
Yep.
As opposed to Summer, who played the lovely and woobiefiriffic Crazy!Brunette!Girl, River.
(As well as the ballerina in that episode with the seriously gross Cordy/Angel action. Eww.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I tried, people. I really, really tried.
Zero credit for effort.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I know my comic book in my head (about vampirism being a rare, sexually-transmitted blood disease)
David, what was that movie that was kind of like this?

Are you talking about Near Dark? It certainly played with blood tainting what with the transfusions and all, but I don't think it was that explicitly stated.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
In Blade the lady doctor actually refered to vampirism as a sexually-transmitted disease. (Underscoring what I perceived to be a less than idyllic slashy undertone to Deacon Frost's relationship with the Udo Kier character.) Was that what you're thinking of?
(I still chortle at the Blade II writer's attempt to explain vampirism away as the effects of a parvovirus on the human system. Yeah, a virus that apparently causes its hosts to disintegrate into burning embers upon contact with sunlight or upon having silver rammed through the heart. Suuuuure, sounds like the effects of a viral infection to me.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
OK. Just saw "Hellboy."
I post this here, because it struck Thessaly and me, on are way home, that there needs to be a Hellboy/Buffy crossover comic book, written by Joss Whedon, with art by Mike Mignola.

Yeah, that's it. Or at least what came to mind.

No, it was Near Dark, but that's good to know.
'Nother random question: how did Xavier lose the ability to utilise his legs? Or rather, why is he in a wheelchair?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or rather, why is he in a wheelchair?
I think the last time it was that he broke his back a fight against the Shadow King. The first time ... I don't remember. But another fight.
And in Ultimate, it was Magneto that damaged his spine.

I may have to seize the cat.
In my story I think probably the traditional vampire-killing doesn't work.
I'm still hung up on how the Kibavatar (there's always one) manages to not know she's a vampire until after she accidentally turns her new boyfriend into one.
Nothing will come of it.
I want this X-Men now. I need to find a good synopsis of X-Men Books From the Past 20 Years, as I've only read up to Essential #4, which ends sometime in the mid 80s. (Kitty Pryde in legwarmers! Squee!)
