SPOILERS FOR S2 OF ANGEL

Right.

First of all - sorry for not posting the icons yesterday.  In Thwaite Hall tradition, the internet dramatically failed right when I needed it for essay writing (and icon posting).  The polls are in and you guys want a split batch so, that is what you will get :D  Hopefully I'll be posting the first part today -

You haz a tag did you see? :P :D

I know - I need to rewatch the episode Angel because now I can see it from a whole new angle.

I disagree - I think they had a form of love, of devotion to each other. I know they hurt each other, and she left him to die at one point, but I think what they felt for each other was, if not love, something akin to it. Otherwise why would they have stuck with each other so long? But it was definitely a dark and twisted love. And they probably denied and repressed it. But I think it was there.

Gunn is epic :D And I adore her hair dark and just above shoulder length. But the new highlit bob... It's ok. But I don't think that cut suits her face - it just makes her head look square. Still looks good tho (I'm a sucker for short hair).

eleusis_walks (I know I should stop referencing his essays but I can't help it!) says that there's a correlation between Cordy's hair colour and her feelings for Angel. In that it gets lighter and lighter (because she wants to be like Buffy and/or Darla in his affections). I can totally see that - her hair is really dark, almost black, when Darla comes back. I think that subconsciously she's denying her feelings for Angel and she's afraid of what being in love with him might mean, especially when she sees what's happening to Darla. Then when he fires her she immediately lightens her hair, implying that subconsciously she's trying to get him to like her again, and to achieve this she makes her hair similar to the women he loves.

Either that or I think too much :P
