The Five Stages of Buffy Season 8
1. Denial:
Okay, there is no way this is real. Joss would never make Dawn a centaur or have Buffy robbing a bank. Warren is alive, no, can't be. And now Buffy is flying. This has to be a joke. Everyone will wake up, it will be a spell.
2. Anger:
What the holy hell? Buffy...kills a Dark Willow..in the future? And Angel is killing Slayers?! And oh hell no, Buffy is having sex with the SOULED murderer guy?! Who do I have to cuntpunch to get some answers around here?!
3. Bargaining:
If I just read a few more issues, just buy a little more merchandise, it's going to get better. I'll write more fanfic, please, if it just gets better. Joss is god, Joss is god, Joss is god. God would never hurt us like that, not if we were being good fans. We will be better fans.
4. Depression:
God, these comics suck. The fandom is exploding. I just want to crawl into a corner and cry. I need some Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey and a Nora Ephron movie.
5. Acceptance:
Joss used his residuals to take up crack smoking. Bring on the sparkles! (Or the penguins!)
