I was idly browsing this post on '10 Of The Most Heartbreaking Moments In TV History' - if only because I'm a sucker for lists, and this one has Anya's speech from Buffy's 'The Body', which always got me crying ( Read more... )

30 days of female characters...

♥ Day Twenty-Four: Favorite female romantic relationshipNow this one's easy, if only because there are so few canon lesbian relationships out there that the pool to choose from is not so huge.

How do I phrase this? Let me count the ways.
