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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I say that one all the time, and who doesn't use "Have fun storming the castle!"?

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

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

One day, I will properly use "As you wish." One day.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

No one in my family is a big Princess Bride fan, which flabbergasts me. They just don't really get it.

"Game over, man!" is very useful.

And, of course, "You keep using that word."

Invader Zim: "I shall now sing the Doom Song!"

edit: ita beat me. May it only ever be in posting quotes.

Rolling down a hill?

Rolling down a hill?

If that's what it takes, yes.

And that will probably be the least of it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

"Never start a land war in Asia, and never go up against a Sicilian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE!"

Tim and I use a mishmash of Buffyverse/Blue Beetle/LOLcats, and, lately, Big Bang Theory. (I also apparently got him saying "I'm the goddamned Batman," though he's never read the freaky comic from which it originated.)

I think I quote The Simpsons a lot without even thinking about it, that's how subsumed that show is in my brain.

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

and never go up against a Sicilian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE!"

Though as it turns out, you can outwit a Sicilian when death is on the line.
