That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Trying to figure out which betrayal was worse sometimes it feels like it misses the point. Betrayal and pain are not really comparable things. Probably to Oz, the Willow/Xander kiss caused as much pain as Veruca/Oz did for Willow. It doesn't really matter which was more or less, to me, because I think the comparisons mask the reality that it just hurt a damn lot. Why justify who hurts more?

I understand that Veruca/Oz needed to happen to forward the story and to send Seth Green out in the most heartwrenching way possible.

Up with the sun

ita, I don't think it matters, either -- I just mentioned it because someone said Oz has never met a werewolf before. Chill.

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

Chill.

Please don't do that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Probably to Oz, the Willow/Xander kiss caused as much pain as Veruca/Oz did for Willow.

I think this is true, especially because Oz and Willow hadn't had sex yet, and there was much more of a history of Xander being a factor in Willow's life. Oz wouldn't even kiss Willow in the van outside the armory because he thought she would be thinking of Xander.

I'm sorry -- I felt like you were nitpicking something really unimportant to death, and that really bothers me because it makes me feel like I'm under siege. My issues, I suppose.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If being bit by Geordy (ST spelling, hee) Caused the Lycanthropy, he must have been careful not to bite Willow... Well, at least not too hard.

Well, biting through the skin is the traditional lycanthropy transmission -- does scratching work too?

I can't even.

Willow mentions "no biting, though" in the "I'm not much fun to be around 3 days a month" speech. Is that Phases? (goes off to check)

ETA: Yep, last bit of dialogue for her in Phases.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

does scratching work too?

Worked in American Werewolf in London.

move out and draw fire

So the gang is over on Sunday for brunch, and I'm making pancakes and chatting with S---, who is now dating one of the guys. Then I tune in to the guys talking: "So did Spike *die* at the end?" "Dunno, man, they left it open enough he could come back, do the hero thing." "They left it open enough so they could bring him back for the movie."

I say, "You guys watch Buffy?!?! Since when?!?!"

They say, "Oh, no, we're talking about Cowboy Bebop."

S-- squeals to me, "Don't! I'm only on the second season of Buffy!"

I like her. But weird Cowboy Bebop/Buffy similarity.
