Favourite BTVS Speeches: ↳ Rupert Giles, Innocence.

[exsequar]

#remember that time a teen girl had sex on a show and it crashed and burned but her father figure was like ‘i think you made a good call’#like legitimately ‘based on the evidence- hitting that was 100% understandable and i support you’#oh - oh you were expecting an ‘i told you so’ or some kind of slut-shaming#LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO RUPERT F*CKING GILES

[killerqueen1984]

Very niche crossover that appeals to me and maybe one other person is a post season two au where Kendra gets vamped then goes on the run from the Council and Drusilla and Spike. Then while eating rats in some back alley someone cones across her. First Kendra mistakes the stranger for a girl a little younger than her, but it doesn't take long for those old slayer instincts to tell her something is up. She's wary, because what if Drusilla recruited others to come find her? What if this is some ploy the Council set up to lure her out?

The girl looks her over; a little curious, a little detached. She introduces herself as Claudia.

[shaissa]

#Teenage vampires with no last names unite! #I dont think claudia ever meets another black female vampire unless im misremembering #And the whole running from an abusive maker thing #And of course kendra refusing to feed on humans might remind her of louis a bit #who in this au she probably hasnt talked to in a while #The human eating thing would be a major point of contention obviously #But idk i think theres something there with black girls who are simultaneously adultified and treated as children #And reviled as soon as they step out of the role they were placed in #And denied autonomy #And how they both react to and deal with those things

captain afab is honestly a very relatable character because whomst among us does not have some great beast that has eluded us all our lives. mine, for instance, is a decent night's sleep.

Ahab. I meant fucking. captain Ahab.

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)

[muffinlance]

@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"

TASKMASTER 22x04

[feedingonwind]

is it unexpected though

[endiness]

His name was Magnus. He took me from my room in Paris, as I kicked and screamed. [...] He fed on me every night. And then he put me back in the tower with the look-alike corpses. I thought for sure I'd be one of them, but instead he turned me into this. No grand history of vampiric origins or physiology, no rules, no counsel. Just a sweeping hand to a pile of money and the sight of him throwing himself into a fire.

To The Young Who Want To Die

Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here—through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.

I asked if this was an art installation and a Danish person said "no this is quite a serious impedance"

[lilithsaintcrow]

"Without the “generated by AI” note, there might be no way to tell if the art in Moleskine’s notebook collection is AI. As of writing, Moleskine have not admitted to using AI in these cover designs, but they also have not credited an artist or provided any proof of human creation."

Moleskine's AI Lord of the Rings Collection Can Only Mock

New Moleskine X The Lord of the Rings notebook collection is "imagined by Moleskine, generated by AI".

ETA: An update, almost worse than the original news:

Moleskine Launch Exclusive Lord Of The Rings Collection

The limited edition collection of diaries, notebooks, stickers and greeting cards are only available to Moleskine members who are registered

When Kittens Came to My Prison, I Had Not Petted One in 15 Years

I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child. 

I have spent many hours with those cats, and still I am amazed at how perfectly they reject everything it means to be in prison. They are playful and unselfconscious, curious and silly, soft and cuddly.

Sometimes it is even more interesting to watch my fellow prisoners interact with our cats. All those hard cases doing hard time melt like butter on a summer sidewalk when they visit the felines, feed them, watch them chase the birds and bees, and when they make toys to entice the cats to play with them. 

I don’t think about the past when a cat hops in my lap. I don’t think of what I should or could have done. I don’t think about courts or life sentences or parole boards. What comes to mind is peace, and a sense that everything is going to be OK. What’s in the past needs to stay there if I want to have a future, if I want to be grateful for today and for the fact that I am no longer the person I once was.

The cats, of course, already know this. They are gracious enough to spend their time with us so that we might learn, and so that we can enjoy a few quiet moments of warmth, softness, non judgment, and freedom."

i promise: however big you think this wave will be, it is bigger

[uinuvien]

That wasn’t a joke. I aimed my estimate high and then added some.

The wave was bigger.

[fozmeadows]

I like to imagine that, thousands of years ago, humans still stood a (reasonably) safe distance from the ocean during weather like this to watch the waves, hooting and cheering when the spray came closer than expected and left them drenched
