Buffy rant
http://www.youchoose.net/campaign/who_should_buffy_choose.
This is a copy of my rant on you choose... What? it was late/early I was tired you do the math.
Go there and sign the petition for the Buffy movie. NOW!
There are always lots of arguments about who she should choose.
But instead of thinking about the show, try putting yourself in her shoes.
At sixteen you meet a guy that is every girls dream, he's handsome mysterious and exudes an air of tortured wisdom. You fall in love with him (of course) and he falls for you. Then on the night of your seventeenth birthday you sleep together and he loses the soul and your life for the next few months becomes a nightmare because he cant love you without a soul.
Eventually you manage to do the right thing to save the world by sending him to hell. Then he comes back.
You try to have some sort of relationship, but the fact that you can't be together in a physical way tortures you both and in the end he leaves you for your own good.
A while later you go to LA to see him and he gets made human, you are together for one glorious day before he decides that his being human might mean your death so he has the oracles turn the day back so it never happened. Again for your own good.
Then there's this other guy you hate who helped you once for his own benefit. He comes back to town and gets chipped by a government agency and for some bizarre reason he comes to you for help. Time goes by and the guy you hate tells you he loves you, even without a soul. Then he lets himself get tortured by a god to keep your sister safe and tries his best to stop you dying.
Unfortunately he fails, but that still doesn't make him leave cos he's made a promise to protect your sister.
You come back and now he's the only one that you can talk to, but you are broken so you sleep with him to punish yourself. He lets you nearly kill him for trying to hand yourself in to the cops over a murder you didn't commit and you continue to tell him you hate him, but still sleep with him.
In the end you break up with him because you think it's the right thing to do because he doesn't have a soul and you don't want to use him anymore.
He gets drunk, sleeps with someone else and you see it. When he comes to say sorry you tell him you did have feelings but still reject him. He snaps and tries to rape you, but when you kick him off he stops.
He then goes off and gets himself a soul, comes back slightly nuts, but is still the only one that is there for you when everyone else looses faith and kicks you out of your own house. He gives you back your will to fight and asks for nothing in return.
And then when you ask him to be your champion he accepts even knowing he will most likely die for it.
And he does.
So who would you choose?
The guy who left you twice for your own good, who couldn't love you without a soul and never even tried to get the soul anchored or...
The guy who changed his entire nature without a soul. The one who loved you enough to stay no matter what you said or did to him, who kept his promise to watch over your sister even though he was souless and you were dead.
The man who when he hurt you went out and got a soul so it wouldn't happen again, and supported you and believed in you when even your sister didn't.
The man who gave his life so you could finally have a normal life.
Honestly people... in the real world would you want the guy that left you for your own good without even trying to fix the problem, or the one that fell for you despite himself and loved you more than his own existence.
Now how about voting honestly?
