"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Don't feel bad erika, that was my (admittidly possibly wrong) impression as well. The last time I remember seeing her post was some other political dust-up.

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

Man, we were obsessive about those puppies. I did bloody fist!Fred, headless!Lorne, maybe even William to Spike. That's a lotta pixellation.

Because they had been completely separate, you mean?

If you mean the languages, yes. For the emigrants, their new language (English) continued to evolve over time, in ways it would be hard for them to strip away in recalling the English they originally learned. But their childhood language was unaffected, in a kind of long term storage (Icebox)because it wasn't in use.

My grandfather was 20 when he left Sweden and 84 the first time he returned. Children liked to hear him talk becasue it was like watching the Swedish version of a victorian costume drama. He pointed out when he returned home tha, ironically, he and his childhood friends now "speak the same English but a different Swedish."

Didn't Oz wolf out and Angel turn evil or something?

Matt had a fairly famous one as well of Lindsey and Angel, right?

Angel vamps out and Oz plays the guitar. I think wolfing him out might have been beyond even where we were willing to go. And we went far. The Buffybot! So cute.

We're such dorks.

you aren't really interested in engaging or having a discussion at all.

This. I wouldn't call it trolling, but bad faith seems apt.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I made the Buffy Bot! I think I might have been the first thing I ever did in photoshop/illustrator (can't remember what I used.

Because books.

Thanks, ita. They are pretty adorable.

But their childhood language was unaffected, in a kind of long term storage (Icebox)because it wasn't in use.

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. Very cool.
