depending on how much force she put into them, they may have been pretty painful to SMG, too.
I feel pretty confident she emerged completely unscathed.

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

Damn. That's just harsh.

I'm not sure if it's a state thing, so much as that most police department have better things to do than bust 22-year-olds for having 15-year-old girlfriends. So typically, if a guy is charged with statutory rape, it's because the girl's parents told the police.
yes, but the fact that the girl's parents approve/don't mind doesn't make it any less illegal, which is the impression that I got from Matt.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
At any rate, I know they didn't write the chemistry into Hush; I remember reading either Joss or Marti say it surprised them when they saw it on film.
It's very much there. I remember clearly that at the moment when they clasped hands and slammed that vending machine across the room, all 3 of us watching (all gay) simultaneously exclaimed.
If Tara/Willow hadn't happened I don't think we would have expected it, IYKWIM.
I disagree, see above. Some of us expected it, anyway.
And I don't think it's slacking off. I can go three years between punches and look better than her. And if I didn't? Someone would yell at me and make me do it right.
As someone who had a 3 yr break from karate and went back, yes.
Chicks and fighting hits (predictably) close to home, so I admit I have made up my own rationale for this which has no basis in any fact to which I've been made privy -- she just didn't care any more, and no one dared call her on it..

But pretty spot on. I actually came into this thread just to say WROD on this whole issue. Can't get off it. I admit that having Buffy be skinny (not THAT skinny) and harmless looking is part of the *point* but all she'd have gotten putting supernatural strength behind her OMWF punches was a broken wrist.
It's a little thing, but I can't stand it when girls can't punch. ita's right (duh), you can teach some very basic things in about 5 minutes. Why, just last week I taught my brother's girlfriend how to punch. I don't think he appreciated it as much as she did...

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

Look out it's a trick! The first lesson in punching is don't volunteer to be a punching bag.
