(Hey, UTTAD? Would you mind using > at the beginning of a line to quote things instead of using the teeny-tiny font? It's a huge readability issue, and I'd really like to be able to follow the points everyone's making, especially in a more serious discussion like this one.)
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was just about to post exactly what Cindy said. But then she posted it, so I'll just point and nod.

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.
The thing is, I think that in "Tabula Rasa" Spike did go back to his basic self, albeit his basic human self. His "vampire with a soul" speech proves this as he is clearly in romantic idealist/pretentious wanna-be poet mode at that point
As an interesting parallel to that, remember that when Angel lost his memories in "Spin the Bottle", he reverted to Liam's personality (though thankfully without the accent).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So beating someone's face to a pulp ISN'T taking power over another person's body?
Not when it's consensual, no.

Strawberry disappointment.
amych: Okay dokey.
Lady O' Spain: Good point.

(UTTAD - Bronzer-my-Bronzer, it's really easy. Okay, granted, we learned HTML for the Bronze, and then iB for the haven. Learning yet a new code at first feels like the first step in a journey that'll probably take you elsewhere in the long run. But it doesn't have to.)
(Quick-edit code (which is linked right above the posting box, and when you click that link, you get a pop-up with the quick-edit codes, but don't lose your post-in-progress) is easy. And in this instance, if you put a greater-than carat ( > ) ahead of the section you're quoting, it both indents it and sets it in different font, and you don't have to close the tag. Hitting the return key (enter key, whatever, I'm a typist in a PC world) will close the quick-edit code all by itself.)
EDITED for the right, damned carat.

Hee. Thanks, Jess. I was on the phone and didn't even see it.
Sorry UTTAD.

Cindy: I know, I know ... but I'm a longhand html traditionalist. I'll have to learn these new fangled wacky codes all you kids are using these days.
Lets have a go:
