Because I'm bored . . . Shippy thoughts.

[eilowyn]

You people are so boring. What? Do you actually have lives outside the Buffy fandom  or something?! My f-list has kinda died down after last week's flailing and LOLz at the comics, and so I'm left with nothing to do but paint my nails and play Farmville on Facebook - not a good thing. You've left me no choice but to express thinky-thoughts that may

I agree with all of this. I wouldn't describe myself as a shipper, and I love Buffy, Spike, AND Angel (well, Angel is a bit of a different case--I love the screwed-up, blind-spot filled character), but I much prefer the idea of Buffy with Spike after the series, because, well, Buffy and Spike treat each other like adults. They have honest conversations. This is why Cordy and Angel's relationship--well, um, their friendship, more so, for me at least--seemed healthier than Buffy and Angel's as well

The way some people dismiss fan concerns about the comics as being all about shipping is really bothersome.

Thank you for saying this. It's really tiring to see brilliant posts on the boards utilizing literary analysis to back up criticism towards the comics being dismissed simply because the poster is an acknowledged S/B shipper.

*grin* I wonder what the dismissers would say about my Twuffy Sex Issue post. I'm not a Spike/Buffy shipper at all, and I just basically said "GOD, WHAT A STUPID COMIC BOOK!" XD

It truly is. I've read so many intelligent and insightful posts, in which any shipping bias has been given a believable back seat while the poster explained why he/she did not agree with the choices of the comic book writers...and it's a crime that those posters are still not being taken seriously by so many people.

They'd just call you a hater and repeat their master plan for the comic book where Twuffy gets to keep their asses clean and maybe make a prophecy baby because OMG THEIR LOVE IS SANCTIONED BY THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!1

Then they'd accuse you of bias, because clearly your hiding your true Spuffyness under the front of being a Spred. YOU'RE UNDERCOVER!!!!1!

I lost it at "prophecy baby" and fell off my chair laughing. XD

THE MERE FACT THAT I HAVE SPUFFY FRIENDS IS ITSELF IRREFUTABLE PROOF THAT I AM IN FACT A SPUFFY COLLABORATOR. I HIDE SPUFFYS IN MY CELLAR AND SMUGGLE THEM INTO THE COUNTRY! WITH ILLEGAL PARROTS HIDDEN IN THEIR PANTS!
