Also, of bras.
Oh my god. Tim loves the retro lingerie look and I just roll my eyes forever at him. He can wear that shit if he loves it so much.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Doesn't he?
edited to clarify what I was referring to

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I always thought he was kind of an egotistical totally unfunny jerk, but then it's normal that not everyone in a group will like everyone else. (But I sort of thought I was crazy for not seeing what everyone else saw in him.)
I thought he had an impressive command of language, and he raised the occasional wry smile; but aside from that I'm not far from your reaction. From my perspective, he seemed to get the best reactions from the female Buffistas, so I figured his appeal was just some ladies' man thing and not particularly relevant to me.

Ha, I blocked him WELL back in the day. He just annoyed the everloving shit out of me. If that helps.

Whereas he didn't bother me: I found him entertaining, though I had no real emotional reaction to him.
Although he wasn't nearly the website designer he thought he was--I never much liked the site he set up to host Nilly's Firefly reviews.

Woo!

Not the retro stuff, though that's mostly due to price, not anything else.

Ahahahaha. I think I was trying to not block people. It made me feel like I wasn't trying hard enough to get along, or something like that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Scola is my info-gathering hero.
Can I suggest that we create a "morbid curiosity" (or something like that) group on FB, and take the Gus stuff over there? It makes me feel weird in ways that I can't quite verbalize adequately to talk about it at length here.

What pinged back in the day was that he always talked at people rather than to them. I found it odd and offputing, so I never tried interacting with him (as much as I interacted in those days, which was more than I do now).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't know if I'm making an equation
I don't see any more link between a liar like Gus and Loki than I do between Gus and Aphrodite, is what I'm saying.
By the time Gus established the slightest rep for not following through (i.e. the second time, and that's including his coding efforts), I was actively pissed at him. We still don't have decent tag closing code, and I'm too traumatised to start thinking about fixing it.
