wugs:

Back when I was a young boy, a new kid came to my small town here in the South. I knew how much it sucked to be the new guy around, so I hung out with him and we became fast friends. We did everything together; growing up in such a small town, everyone knew me and Joe were inseparable.

Adolescence was a bit of a trying time for our friendship, though. We both were so similar that we always liked the same girls. Well, actually he was a little less judicious than I. Everyone said it was just his nature — he cottoned on to just about anyone, and they gave him a funny nickname to match his nature. Honestly, I didn’t really mind, but he sure did take just about any chance I had at getting a girl.

One day, though, all of a sudden, he just up and left. The last I heard is that he was going back to where he was born, but he never told me where that was in our many years of friendship. Funny enough, I met my future wife about a week after he was gone.

I guess if it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe, I’d’ve been married a long time ago. But where did he come from, where did he go? Where did he come from, that Cotton-Eyed Joe?

hira536 asked: Buffy to this day is still my #1 TV show, because whether it's humans or demons or vampires, every character has a very "human" side to them. I mean, Drusilla and Spike are freaky, but once you know their backstories (you will).... And, same for Darla. If you watch Angel, you'll get to know more other sides to her other than her usual cruel sides.

This show is absolutely fantastic, and it should be a classic in the areas of story-telling and feminism. I think Angel will be a series I’ll get in to after I finish Buffy completely (There’s about 3 other series’ I’m in the middle of exploding over, including Elementary, Hannibal, and Arrested Development. … wow that is a weird combination of shows to all be watching at the same time…) but I completely agree with you on the ‘human’ thing! 

Whenever I critique a show/movie, I very heavily focus on whether or not there are ‘Characters’ or ‘People’ in it. 

‘Characters’ are things that exist to serve the plot, to entertain, to create drama and keep the story moving on it’s scheduled rails. 

‘People’ are characters within the show that have such true, heartfelt emotion and action, that I forget I’m just watching an actor perform in front of a camera. The actions of ‘People’ become beautifully unpredictable because they have so many layers of wants or needs or secret hopes and dreams. The attachment to them by the viewer becomes so strong that suffering a broken nail at the wrong moment can send the viewer over the edge, crying at the TV. 

Buffy is definitely a show full of ‘People’. 

(also, thanks so much for your commentary while I was liveblogging! I wanted to reply, but Tumblr is a poo. :C )

bonitabreezy asked: Watching you watch Buffy is simultaneously wonderful and nerve wracking. You don't even know what's coming do you.

N-no…. ;A; 

I know I’m in for a whirlwind of pain, everyone’s told me that. It’s basically Supernatural with less Daddy issues and more getting attached to characters that might die horrifically. 

Cause like… with Supernatural you basically only have to worry about Sam, Dean, Cas, and Bobby. Those were the only four you could build a long-standing attachment to because everyone else either died within their one-episode appearance, or lived and came back to die in a different episode halfway through the next season. The herd here is very thin.

Whereas right now, in my experience with Buffy, she has a multitude of friends, most of whom are mortal with very vulnerable squishy organs to poke. She has a mom and a Giles-dad and a sister-Willow and a Brother-in-law Oz and an Uncle-Who-Lives-In-The-Basement Xander. And all those people have friends too! They have their own lives outside of killing creepy things. 

And that’s what makes it so painful. 

Cause all I can think of is how devastated so many in-show people would be if even one of these beautiful, well-rounded characters were to be hurt. 

4x03 is just a hot and heavy episode isn’t it?

Buffy is getting laid

Xander is getting laid

Spike is getting laid

Willow was already getting laid

Giles got laid last episode. 

(also Parker is far too sweet and cute to be real. Happiness+Buffy=????)

well actually a bit more to add there

I completely love the fact that Spike is in to chains and Dom/sub relationships. It makes me happy because yay

also Anya (oh god i am hoping i am spelling/saying her name right) asking for sex from Xander and Xander being all “well, sex is about intimacy and accepting consequences” while Anya is like “Oh, I totes have condoms nbd” and SAFE SEX and CASUAL SEX and KINKY SEX and…

SEX. 

also Xander stop being adorable and fucking up your words and getting Buffy to laugh at her fear and pain until she is strong again I physically cannot love you any harder unless you were a hypoallergenic Saint Bernard
