There is, You Know, Surprisingly Always Hope

'Ollo! I'm a geeky girl who is pursuing a career in illustration. I post a mishmash of things and have a separate tumblr for my own art (thehopefulraincoat). And if you have any questions or comments--about anything really--just send me an owl. ;) Now blog on! Allons-y! HUFFLEPUFF { wear }

So I’m moving into a new apartment, and I was told that the room had been damaged, but nothing could have prepared me for the fact that someone had carved Li Shang’s head out of the bathroom door and written “We must defeat the Huns!” on it.

What if Buffy's mom hadn't found out about slaying at the end of season 2 and Buffy had to convince Spike to stay in town and pretend to be in a band with her because that was the cover story they'd told Joyce

[fluffyspuffy]

And then eventually end up accidentally actually starting a band because it’s easier than maintaining the lie

[aphony-cree]

Joyce says they can use the garage to rehearse and she always makes them snacks. Buffy starts to worry she'll never get Spike to leave

[fluffyspuffy]

Buffy insists on calling the band Slayer and Spike keeps failing to convince her that there’s already a band with that name

[disco-tea]

Low key I feel like Buffy would just see it as a cover and it’s a ‘fake band’ but Spike gets like way into it and it’s a Real Band™️ to him and he’s a little annoyed Buffy doesn’t take it as seriously. He’s always like “you missed practice this Tuesday what the hell’s up with that. We have a gig next week btw”

[saunteringvaguelydownwards]

#he starts trailing after her on patrol to bitch about missing practice or how she's sloppy on her chords #starts pitching in on the slayage because vampires keep interrupting his tirades #''EXCUSE ME we are having a ROW'' *stakes fledgling* #no chip necessary spike is literally the guy in the band with zero chill about the band #he undeads the band. he unbreathes the band. he spends all his time not sleeping... on the band. #(willow is their manager xander is the merch guy) #(giles was secretly plotting to lure spike into a trap until he notices spike is... actually better at corralling buffy on patrol than he is #because spike doesn't want her injuring her hands or doing anything that fucks with her breath control) #(giles is also weak to the nostalgia of it all and tunes their instruments when he thinks they're not looking) #(when faith arrives mid-S3 she's quickly recruited to sing backup) (via @entirelytookeen)

@worldsokayestdragon :

#spike after learning Oz plays guitar: why İsn't he in the band? #buffy: he's already in his own band. which is actually a real band unlike our fake band that you keep forgetting is just a cover story #spike: we're never going to make it in the music industry if you don't stop calling our band fake

Spike (with reluctant but knowledgeable backup from Giles) finally convinces her that "Slayer" risks bringing copyright lawyers down upon their heads, a fate worse than vampires

Buffy turns around and re-names their band "Fake"

I enjoyed Trigun Stargaze for what it was. I wish it had gotten another season because it did really feel rushed and like certain characters or concepts didn't get their time to shine, but I appreciate it's differences to 98 and what they were trying to do. Just wish they'd had more time to do it better.

Is it just me or did Meryl's fan at the end of the episode really resemble Roberto? I thought someone was going to say something more... Like idk maybe he was a nephew or something? Did I miss something or am I crazy.

[hashtagloveloses]

i didn’t realize how much i needed a new version of a story that asks “what if love was enough to save them? what if the cycle of violence could be stopped, this time, for just a little while? what if he wasn’t alone this time, and he lived?”

and i don't mean this in a fanservice way i mean this in a “i find three versions of a story that are clearly in conversation and the final one asks a hopeful question" interesting way. maybe ill feel differently once stargaze is over and i can evaluate all three versions in their completion! who knows! but i would ask that people think about it more than just "it's completely different from trimax and that is bad"

i also really like the solarpunk turn for trigun. it started as a love letter to westerns, and then clear homage to classic scifi, and we thought it would go more grimdark cyberpunk. but instead we're getting a hopeful version of humanity's future. to me, that's really cool.
