Well, I just have some things to point out to you guys. Some more important than others but all probably relevant to your interests ( Read more... )

It probably shouldn't surprise anybody that my de-flouncing post requires several bullet points. It's how my brain works, okay ( Read more... )

Okay, folks, I've mentioned that I don't read S8. Mainly because comics aren't my medium and because I'm perfectly happy with how the series ended and don't want more. But it's hard to avoid talk about S8 here on LJ, so I've picked up bits and pieces and...I gotta admit...it amuses me ( Read more... )

This will be the most scattered, random post ever.

1. Folks, buffyversetop5 will be open in two weeks. If you haven't already, friend the comm and enjoy the awesome recs that will come from it. If you've found yourself some uber-cool Buffy stuff from 2009, share your own Top 5 rec lists. Fanfic, meta, fanart, whatever. Anything about Buffy made in 2009 is free ( Read more... )

Okay, even though I'm not doing my rewatch with the intention of making pithy comments, I don't feel the need to refrain from sharing any pithy comments that spring to mind just from watching. After all, that's squeeing and that's what fandom's for, right? :)

1. Buffy's so cute! Really, she's adorable. And she's so peppy and happy and she smiles ( Read more... )

1. Guys, I finished the latest chapter of Influence!!! *throws confetti, blows kazoos, engages in general merry-making* I'd been angsting so much about the info-dump and how to execute it that I just decided to ignore it for a bit and do other stuff. Finally, I looked back at it and...it's not too bad. I finally worked out how to end the chapter ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm finally doing it. This is definitive, folks. A surefire way for you, women, to not get raped. Very easy. If you follow this list, you have no reason to ever ever be raped. Ever.

Well, you remember that I did a bit of an April Fools' Day prank with a vitriolic post about how Joss is a misogynist. Here's my real thoughts on the subject where I explain why I don't think any of what I said matters at all, and why I still think Joss (and the show) are ultimately feminist.

( Joss may be a feminist, but he's a man and so he has certain privileges that enable him to screw shit up )

I put off on watching Buffy for quite a while. I'd heard a lot about it in other fandoms I was in. However, I never thought it was something I'd be interested in. It wasn't until I saw what Joss Whedon did with Firefly that I decided to see what he had managed to do with a full series ( Read more... )

I closed up the poll for favorite Spuffy moment. Just some thoughts:

1. There's a pretty even spread for the pre-S7 scenes. Of course, it's difficult to choose a favorite scene when there are so many wonderful ones, so I somewhat expected that. The one that did get the most votes (The porch scene in Fool for Love) seemed to be the one that started ( Read more... )
