My college roommate was nicknamed Spike the Warlord. She exhibited cockiness while in that persona, I would say.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've been enjoying Y: The Last Man. Not all the plot points stick the landing, but the cast is great and I'm really liking the writing. In addition to being sensitive to the treatment of gender, they are both brutally honest and remarkably subtle in their depictions.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
That WAS sad!
100% unsurprised at Laszlo's plan and the weird-ass reason behind it.

I was surprised! But in retrospect it was a very Laszlo plan.
