At times, I almost dream. I, too, have spent a life the sages' way and tread once more familiar paths. Perchance I perished in an arrogant self-reliance an age ago... and in that act, a prayer for one more chance went up so earnest, so... instinct with better light let in by death that life was blotted out not so completely... but scattered wrecks enough of it to remain dim memories... as now... when seems once more... the goal in sight again.

HI CUTIE
BUFFY 🗣🗣🗣

"spike whats happening?"
buffu episodes are like dreams now
ok heathers reference
DO YOU MIND 🗣🗣
no you DIDNT
i knoe this is a dark scene but spikes lip...
no baby no

jonathan crying fuck oh my god
LOVE THIS DREAM
awwwwwww
SCRATCHES ON HIS HEART SEEN
the cold comfort <3
HIM IN THE HANDCUFFS HEHEHEHEHEH
yeah sex is manslaughter??????
ok so i need to analyse that dream. so PHEW my fucking thoughts are so jumbled
but essentially in the dream we and I NEVER NOTICED THIS we see spike and buffy actively fuck under the carpet. im so sorry you guys were right THEY WERE UNDER THE CARPET. under
also basically seeing p0rn atp. wow. and so we see her stake spike when hes sleeping its just wow
like so in the dream they're comparing buffy sleeping with spike as manslaughter. together they become a big evil destructive thing but more so the dream is about buffy going so far she kills spike. shes having fun and being kinky but shes losing her humanity shes dreaming about killing him. he dreamed of killing her he thinks they were dreams and buffys the same
buffy is dreaming qnd shes scared that she wants him to take care of her. the last few episodes shes wanted him to take care of her but knows she shouldnt. there should be a line. but he will dispose of her evil for her evil will happen.
she genuinely wants him so much she cant handle it. even when he was telling her to go home she felt so guilty and was so horrified that she did it and he was willing to just cover it up not understanding that she doesn't want to want that but when shes late at night she wants what she fucking wants.
she hates that she wants him but she wishes someone she wanted who also loved her so much didnt kill her. its everything she ever wanted and didnt know she would want and its killing her.
he keeps giving her what she wants hes her mirror but she doesn't want to want it what she wants is for someone to tell her what to do what to wear who to love what to hate because she thinks shes doing it wrong she doesn't know what to do because she doesnt like herself right now
and she cares about him too! she worries about him loving her so much she has to kill him she feels guilty about using him to feel better
and that in a way is a weird kind of love. the tenderness in the beginning of the dream like she loves it
like dead things is so horrifying and so good because i think something else thats happening, and its everything going on honestly... she hates herself. she doesn't feel like she deserves anything right now. no kindness, no understanding, nothing
she hates herself for letting spike in and she hates herself for treating him so badly... like what she says to holden she didnt want to be loved. she didnt feel like she deserved it at all
and being a slayer is about responsibility and shes been good for so long and she doesnt get to stop responsibility ever shes become numb to it but she has to get to a place where she allows herself it because otherwise it becomes all she wants. she wants him and wants to be with him but only because she feels alive with him and less she feels alive in other places
OH MY GOD I HAVE TO UNPAUSE BUT ALSO I JUST REALIZED ANOTHER REASON WHY ITS CALLED DEAD THINGS ITS BECAUSE SHE FEELS DEAD AND ALSO she calls him a thing
god my heart gets so broken in this episode RAHHHH I LOVE IT
like here shes so drusilla in this she was so on the verge
dawnie :(
her baby :(
"i love you. you know that right?" 😭💗💗💗
thank the lord for this resurgence
this is so sad help
she is truly hust trying to punish herself
dawn hugging buffy but she doesnt want comfort she wants punishment

"no youre not" 🗣🗣

dawn and buffys relationship in s6 is so rough but
OH GOD THIS SCENE

"cant let you do that" 🗣🗣

"i qm not your girl!"

the way she looks at him after is so sad
and he STILL CRAWLS TO HER IM GONNA PASS OUT CRYING
her look is so heartbreaking
she looks so guiltyfor hurting him 💔
HEY GUYS ARE WE GONNA FUCKING TALK ABOUT HOW BJFFY SAID YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE AFTER THATS WHAT HE FUCKING SAID GUYS GUYS
what if i got over spike and buffy
theyre so heartbreaking and lovely
"why can spike hurt me" emotionally 😞
shes so upset shes falling in love with him
no youre not wrong you just really want him
poor girl
tara <3
he is really hot...
"i could never be your girl" is so sad shes so sad
"the only time i feel anything is when..." 💗
babyyyyyy babyyy
"do you love him?"
no denial...
she feels bad about using him too :(
baby
my baby
"please dont forgive me! please dont!" lives with me everyday. i think about that
*tears streaming down my face, horrified at that episode* so that's one of my favourite comfort episodes!
so fucking excited for my other favourite comfort epiaode next one because yeah
spike and buffy you are so insane
like that episode casually confirms that buffy loves spike oh ok. cool right
i know she cant love him but like theres something
Somebody asked me what my favourite episode of Season 6 of ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ is. I have 2.
‘The Haunting Of Amphipolis’ because I’m a horror lover and this is right up my alley in that department.
And of course… ‘When Fates Collide’ because it’s the shippiest ship episode to ever ship. And its main text. Meaning the text itself illustrates an explicit romance between Xena and Gabrielle even if they only just met.
Not to mention both episodes have stunning imagery of Xena and Gabrielle looking like they belong as front covers to romance novels that “make The Notebook look bleak” - to use a phrase ‘Wynonna Earp’ uses. You could say anything in Season 6 has that effect - especially The Ring Trilogy but I don’t know, I just love the stunning imagery in these 2 episodes in particular.
What’s your favourite episode/s of ‘Xena’ Season 6?
THAT'S SUCH A HARD QUESTION. But I will do it. This is mostly based on re-watches and enjoyment. (Although as a proud member of both the PCBC and the Twelfth Doctor Homebrew Server, I enjoy pretty much all of his era.)
So, without further ado...
The Return of Doctor Mysterio
2. The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar
3. TIED - Dark Water / Death in Heaven + The Pilot
4. Heaven Sent + World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls
5. The Husbands of River Song + Twice Upon a Time
But obviously I have no true favourites.
Runners up are ALL OF THEM, but in particular Face the Raven, Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion, Sleep No More, Oxygen, the whole Monk trilogy, Empress of Mars and The Eaters of Light.
Hi! I love your comics! I was wondering, what is your favorite episode for each doctor?
Thank you! ❤️
This is such a fun question, I had to take my time with it! Thanks for asking!
First Doctor - The Romans saga.
It was fun to see everyone so chill and in one place for a while. It showed the Doctor did like to hang out for a while in some places/times. Before all this running around lol! This is also peak first Doctor behaviour. He is so fun in this one- he fights a guy off while giggling and is responsible for Nero setting Rome on fire and just laughs about it. Chaotic gremlin energy and I love it.
Second Doctor - War Games saga
The concept was really cool for this adventure. Plus it was the first time we really got the lore behind who the Doctor really is. We meet time lords etc. The finale is obviously super sad but iconic.
Third Doctor - The Daemons saga
This was really hard to choose because 3 is my fave classic doctor and there are so many cool adventures he went on. Being shrunk into the alien tv/zoo thing was such a neat idea but I had to go with this because it had so many crazy things going on. The Master (best version imo) pretends to be a priest. Crazy witchy woman who over acts and blinks too much. That white gargoyle… also the devil costume- peek costuming. And how could I forget that bizarre finale? It was giving wickerman for a second. Very funny… to me, probably wasn’t the initial intention.
Fourth Doctor - The Talons of Weng-Chiang
Possibly a controversial choice but I really loved the Phantom of the Opera vibes I got from this. Also Leela is my favourite companion and she was perfect in this saga.
Fifth Doctor - Black Orchid
Simply because it was fun and it was the last time this little family had any happiness or peace 🥲
Sixth Doctor - the Mysterious Planet
Because it introduced Sabalom Glitz who was a charming character that I’m glad they brought back later on. Also it kicks of the trial saga which was essentially the beginning of the end for Six, sad!
Seventh Doctor - Paradise Towers
Very cool concept. Invented slang we use today. Beware the grannies… I just loved everything about this story. Lots of good spooky fun.
Eight just has his movie but he was so good in Night of the Doctor.
Ninth Doctor (love of my life) - Fathers Day
Such an interesting deep dive into his and Rose’s relationship. I also love the concept of a companion learning what happens if you mess with time. Very langoleers. Huge character growth for Rose (and the Doctor too).
Tenth Doctor - Rise of the Cybermen
I love this little throwback to the second Doctor adventure where the Cybermen had a very similar takeover plan. Only in this one people got changed. The idea of the Cybermen terrify me greatly and having a character as vital as Jackie Tyler being turned was… UGH! I still get chills.
And that’s where I stopped watching honestly. Once Moffatt took over I tapped out of Doctor Who. I decided at that point I liked what I saw and I was happy to leave it there. I did watch the new Anniversary specials in which Wild Blue Yonder was my favourite. Nice spooky story. But otherwise I’m just content to be a freak for Nine and the classic series lol.
Thank you so much for asking this! It was fun to remember those old episodes. Makes me want to watch the classic series again! Haha
