I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

"...and that calls for some hard-hitting, potentially violent SCIENCE!"

I want Thessaly's dip.

Can't...restrain...urge...must...take....straightline!

Hey, Victor's not for grabs!

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Whoa! I was just going to post that.

Woohoo! Hivemind with Hecubus! It's a Buffista's dream!

See, now that to me is key. Plus he didn't actually die. *Plus* he was the one to start the whole problem in the first place! So it's more like he had to spend time in a really gnarly dentention hall.

Well, yeah - but if people are right, Spike got to go out laughing his disintegrating ass off and is now sipping cocoa with marshmallows and wheetabix with Joyce, Tara and Anya. Some detention hall! And, of course, since everybody is bi in the afterlife, there's the orgy.

Okay, I may have just squicked myself. Or turned myself on. I'm not sure which.

And from this afternoon:

Ken, we were thinking of you last night, mostly kicking ourselves for not inviting you after your delurk. Sorry about that. We have a mailling list. Instructions on how to subscribe are here.

Awww. Thanks for the thought, but given the timing of my de-lurk, I think it was just logistically, and probably psychologically, impossible on my end. Oh well, there's always the next Buffy series finale.

Oh wait a moment... gorram, rutting...

Seriously, though. Thanks for the info - I will hopefully be in touch with you'se other New Englander types soon enough.

Hello! I must be going.

And, of course, since everybody is bi in the afterlife, there's the orgy.

Dude! Your friends' parents and brothers and stuff are off-limits.

And Thessaly, I served, you volleyed it right back! Good for you!

Like I said - squicked? turned on? Not sure which.

Given that people have talked enthusiastically about Connor/Angel on these boards, I feel relatively healthy.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Wokka. Wokka. Wokka.

I seem to have missed these discussions. I feel cleaner for it.

You gotta hang out more with Ple. She'll dirty you up.

There is no way for me to safely respond to this. (:

She doesn't believe in safe words.

Interesting observation on Buffy fandom from my friend Gary:

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

HEC! VICTOR!!! I'm actually very dirty right now, because I've been gardening. So, take that as you will.

Fuckin' Meara, eh?

So I'm kinda caught up...Plei, the evil cow. May I tag? I like cows, I think they are cute, it's kind of fitting.

Sure!

Though, were I forced to link them, I would probably argue that in Entropy, Buffy told Spike she wouldn't sleep with him because she didn't love him, so if she did sleep with him, that means she loves him.

See, for me, I think part of her epiphany about not having to be with a man meant that now that she wasn't looking for her OTP, she gave herself the freedom to have sex where strong like and companionship was enough. Where it's not casual, but it's just a moment, seized.

Her well-worn VHS copy of The Cutting Edge....

sob...

Now I want to buy Buffy the DVD, and damn it, Teppy, that broke me.

The Husband of the Voice of Reason is brilliant.

Well, of course. Do you think that Jilli would settle for less than perfection?

So I didn't watch really until the second viewing and then the third is when it hit me - and my face is all sore today from being weepy last night and I'm already tired of telling my "I got arrested" story and having to explain why it matters what I was watching. And I am happy I can tell it here - where I don't have to explain.

This is strangely beautiful and moving in a way I can't explain.
