This is really all moriden's fault.
Walk Through the Fire (excerpt)
So I will
Walk through the fire
'Cause where else can I turn?
I will
Walk through the fire
And let it...
The torch I bear is scorching me
Buffy’s laughing, I've no doubt
I hope she fries,
I'm free if that bitch dies
I better help her out
(and)
Rest in Peace (excerpt)
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
but I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
Im a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?
I always envied Buffy Spike, much more than I ever wanted her Angel. Angel, it seemed to me, was one of those hidden-poison sorts. He had this sweet, far-too-repentant shell, wrapped around a monster - and you never knew when the monster would come out.
Spike was more honest - he was a monster, all the way through, and yet, in the end, he fell for Buffy, fall hard. And I suppose having the bad guy fall hard for me has always been one of my dreams.
Back to Angel for a moment, though. That beast-within-the-good-guy thing. As I was composing this, I thought about Cole, in Charmed, and how he's really another version of the same thing - evil guy inside the good guy, and every so often, the evil gets out.
Do you think that's a metaphor for the fear that we (women) have about the beast inside the men we love? (Don't think your man has a beast? What would he do to protect you?). I know that there's always been a realization for me of the descrutive possibilities of most the men I've been with - never quite a fear, but a sort of pleasingly frightening knowledge.
If anyone's read Anne Bishop's Black Jewels series - this is like Damon, really - the power to kill and the power to protect are two side of the same coin.
And, in the question I asked last week... given only those three choices, I'd choose to be owned and protected. Is anyone really suprised?
