Thanks, Shane!
The twitpic from Panic's latest shenanigans makes me want an AU where Brendon's the vampire slayer and Spencer's so kind of demon with ambiguous moral character. Spencer's got this look on his face (which is probably "I'm supposed to look scared, but LOL Brendon with an axe"). In the AU that I want, this would totally be the scene where Brendon's all, "RARR, I'm finally going to kill you for realz," but then he moves the axe at the last second and it strikes a rock and makes a terrible sound. Brendon lands on his knees in front of Spencer, and Spencer's already opening his arms, and there's that moment of Brendon finally giving in.
(Winter's rough, idk. I was having one of those days where I was crying for no reason, so I put on Buffy so that there'd be a reason to cry. I watched the finale of season two and ;____________; Seriously, ;___________; And then I was thinking about Innocence and that whole arc (Buffy & Angel have sex, he turns evil), and how there's just this incredibly tenderness, or something, to how it's all handled. Angel's so mean and Buffy's so sad, but there's this feeling that even though she's hurting so badly, she's still okay. It's not her fault; it's him. The whole idea of innocence and that having sex is the loss of innocence, but all of the things that have happened don't change the fact that she's still pure in the only ways that actually matter. That was a couple of weeks ago, but I still get all stupidly choked up when I think about it. When the series was originally airing, I didn't like Buffy's character all that much. But now in rewatching the episodes, my heart always goes out to her. I don't know if it's because I'm older or if it's because I'm always aware of the context of the entire series when I watch individual episodes now or what. Just that recurring theme of her being alone with this incredible burden and then that moment at the end where she's not alone anymore, and ;______________________;. Seriously.)
I've missed most of the episodes of White Collar, but I skipped ahead and watched the most recent one, and wow. That scene with the handcuffs and the hair tug and then neck pat really was just as amazing as everyone said it was. Wow.
