It's Sad When Hostel III Has More Substance Than a Comic...

[fenderlove]

Yeah, I saw Hostel III, and I heard spoilers about a certain comic that just came out. Guess which one I think constitutes torture porn? It's Trope City, my bad pennies. I'm not really surprised because I was guessing this would happen since late Season Eight, but good-everloving-night!

Ignore canon.

Really, just do it.

[fenderlove]

I tried; I really did. I stopped reading the comics, but I keep coming across spoilers, and it's just argh. Why? Why did S9 have to feature elements that I was using in my story that make my plot look stupid? Sigh. In my story, Buffy's pregnant via a consensual one-night-stand-with-a-father-she-hasn't-revealed, and she plans on giving the baby to her aunt who lost a chid, but she comes into contact with Spike and Angel and gives the baby to them (or rather to Spike because Angel's all grumpy and "Eff you, I've got a kid" because Connor actually exists in my world). Spike's happy, Angel's happy, the baby's happy, Buffy's... Well, she's not happy because well... she went through something not fun, but she's not insanely depressed.

I keep telling myself that I should just get angry and ignore it, but... it just makes me mostly sad.

What shipperx said!

[fenderlove]

I know. It just tears my soul apart, and not in a funny Tommy Wiseau kind of way. *kicks DarkHorse*

[diebirchen]

I just get upset and hurt. I'm far too emotionally invested, and it's fiction, damn it! Try "La-la-la-la-, not listening, looking, hearing, reading . . ."

[fenderlove]

I am going to have to try harder to ignore everything to do with them, even the spoilers.

To quote Spike "It is bleed'n tragic' isn't it.

[fenderlove]

Yes, yes, it is. *sobs* I just want to put Spike and Angel in a little bubble... a little protective bubble where they can shag and be happy and never be bothered by hack comic books ever again!

Hmm, have you ever read Queen of the Slayers?

[fenderlove]

I'm not sure. Is that the comic with Nikki Wood?

[ericadawn16]

No, it's a book by Nancy Holder.

Oh, it's one of the Buffy novels. I only read three or so of those, but that wasn't one of them.

But it's a metaphor!

I think the crowning moment of WTF is the implication with the line "You're not a girl anymore" and Buffy waking up to find she's pregnant really just sums it all up. Whatthehellever, Whedon.

[fenderlove]

Indeed, I guess it truly is having sex and making poor life choices that makes a woman a woman and not a girl. I guess I won't be able to vote anymore. *smacks Whedon upside his big potato head*
