i have two sideblogs called tillowappreciationblog and spuffyappreciationblog. They’re not rant blogs really but I have in the past ended up ranting on them quite a bit haha.

Those are my 2 favorite ships.

So...does the First need fresh blood or something in order for the Hellmouth to open? Because I keep rewatching this season thinking things would be so much simpler if they went to the butcher's. Then again Spike's cold, dead blood is apparently also a viable option, so that just further confuses things.

Andrew did go to the butcher’s, but he couldn’t deliver the blood because Willow caught him. What I don’t get is why the First didn’t choose to use animal blood right away instead of having Andrew kill Jonathan. Like, I get it, sacrificing someone to perform a ritual is more evil or cool or whatever, but it’s not practical? Nor is it smart. The First was wasting so much fucking time on grandiose evil gestures (like having Andrew betray Jonathan and kill him, or bleeding Spike and keep him alive to torture him, risking him being rescued...) instead of cutting to the chase and getting shit done, you know? Like I wrote on my recap, the First seemed to be getting dumber and dumber. Or too cocky? Either way, the result is the same.

28. Best Writer

I mean, I think Joss is an asshole and there’s a lot of problematic stuff in his writing, but he really did do some incredible work. But I’d like to give shoutouts to Doug Petrie and Jane Espenson as well.

Send me a number and a show!

Angel, Faith and Spike for the meme! :)

excellent!! BtVS is one of my major special interests and I love talking about these characters so much

Angel:

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang (I generally like him when he’s older, and I find him to be much hotter as Booth in Bones. not my type even when he’s older but still)hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuffbest quality: his dedicationworst quality: his selfish tendency to consider his own feelings over others, even when he’s trying to be considerate of others, psychopathic when soullessship them with: Cordelia,who gets him out of his self-destructive tendencies, even though I think he’ll never not be in love with Buffy. Spike, as more of a humorous thingbrotp them with: Fred, mostly. Lorne, sometimes. Faith.needs to stay away from: Fred. I know, ironic. and Buffy.misc. thoughts: idk, he’s a complex character. When I first watched Buffy as a 12-13 y/o I shipped him with Buffy, but by the time I was watching it again I was sort of over the brooding thing. he’s not particularly interesting on Buffy, and he’s a little self-involved on Angel, even though he becomes a more comedic character, which certainly saves him from the boredom I experience with him on buffy.

Faith:

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would banghogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuffbest quality: hot hot hot hot. also braveworst quality: reckless, psychopathic in season 3ship them with: Buffy!!!brotp them with: Angelneeds to stay away from: The mayor, but because he’s bad for her, not the other way around. Early years, everyonemisc. thoughts: one of the best redemption arcs I’ve ever seen, and it’s too bad it took me so many years to watch AtS cause I missed so much of it. so hot

Spike

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life (problematic fave lol)hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would banghogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuffbest quality: poet at heart, romantic at heart, HOT, willing to put his heart on the lineworst quality: reckless, stupid, jealous, possessive when soullessship them with: Buffy (OTP from back when that meant something), Angel as a comedic thing (see above)brotp them with: Faith, Angelus, Dawnneeds to stay away from: Buffy when soullessmisc. thoughts: key part of my sexual awakening, even if it turns out I’m demisexual. I love Fool For Love, it’s so funny that James Marsters honestly thought he had “always been bad” and then you find out that he’s actually a poet at heart, which makes so much sense. totally agree that Buffy’s hair is AMAZING. does anybody else remember that JM originally auditioned with a southern accent??? imagine

+ @ me with discourse I have Thoughts

Send me characters to rate

[waddingstan]

FMK: Warren Mears, Caleb, The Master ha yeah i went there ;)

Okay...this is worse....

Uh....

Fuck: Caleb...I guess.

Marry: The Master

Kill: Warren. He was just plain evil. Out of all of the villains on the show, I hate him the most. The others at least had some sound motivation, but Warren was just a piece of shit.

Tagged by the darling @starshollowisonahellmouth. Thanks lovely!

1. Do you find you have a type when it comes to your OTPs/ships?

I definitely have a lot of best-friends-to-lovers OTPs and I also like darkness/light tropes for my couples as well.

2. Name your first OTP.

My first so-obsessed-I’ll-stay-up-until-2 AM-fangirling OTP was Luke and Lorelai, for sure.

3. State your most unpopular opinion. This can be about ANYTHING.

Since the holidays are approaching, can I just say that I’m really not that big a fan of New Year’s Eve?

4. Name your favourite femslash ships :)

I don’t know what this means...? *blushes*

5. Have you ever written something that you’re really proud of?

This is a difficult question because I am incredibly self-critical of anything I manage to create even the works of mine which have been published, but I suppose I do take pride in my ability to be creative sometimes? 

6. You have the power to suddenly become fluent in two more languages. What languages do you choose?

French and Arabic. French because it’s such a pretty language and Arabic because it’s so beautiful and complicated and I love a good challenge

7. What’s your go-to outfit?

For comfort, my Harry potter hoodie and yoga pants

For a casual outing, jeans, a black leather jacket, combat boots, and a cute/fashionable hat

For a fancy outing, my little black dress and a pair of nice pumps.

8. Scuba diving or flying a plane/helicopter? Bonus points if you explain why!

Flying a plane/helicopter because there’s something about being in the air that makes me realize how truly small I am in comparison to the planet. And also, it’s the closest to superhero flying I’ll ever get haha.

9. Was there a sport or some other physical activity that you were really into as a kid? Do you still continue to do it if you did?

I played basketball and softball all throughout my childhood and high school. I started on the varsity teams, so I was decent I guess? I still watch both sports, go to games sometimes, and play them in the summer.

10. Make you choose: Tech Ed or Home Ec? Art or PE? French or Spanish? Biology or Chemistry? Math or English? History or Current Events?

Tech ed. I have more Home Ec skills now that I’m older, though, but it was the bane of my existence in middle school. 

Art. I have an artist’s soul, what can I say? I was good at PE, though. 

Spanish because I speak it haha.

Biology, but I think reading about either is fascinating.

English. I’ve always appreciated the whole “there’s almost always a definitive answer” in math, though.

History

11. You get to go on a date with your favourite fictional character. Where do you go, and what do you do? :)

Elizabeth Bennet and I have a lovely girls’ date where she shows me around Pemberley and I get to meet Mr. Darcy I promise to tryyy not to steal him and Georgiana.

I’m too lazy to tag others at the moment, but if you’re so inclined to answer these questions go for it. xx

UO: Gilmore Girls doesn't write romantic relationships very well. They make every character out of character/regress their development at some point for the sake of plot. I think they do a very good job of the couple eventually coming together that get you hooked and want them to work out, but once the couple is together, it's like they have to have some sort of drama and that's unenjoyable to watch. And that drama is always lack of communication, a cliché move :( I'd love to know your thoughts!

honestly, i’ve always always been the type of person that enjoys a ship before they actually get together way more than when they actually do, no matter the ship (that’s why i’m such a sucker for rom coms because they almost always end with a first kiss or something lol). so i don’t know if i’m the best judge of this only because i definitely agree with you, but a lot of that is because of what i just stated.

with that being said though, when i look at it from your perspective i still totally agree. you can find examples of this in almost every relationship in the show. most obviously with luke and lorelai. they’re the ones with the biggest build up on the whole show and, imo, the worst communication. which is strange to me considering the fact that they were such good friends before they got together. lorelai and max is another obvious one.

but rory also had a lot of miscommunication with all of her boyfriends that wasn’t really necessary. i can totally understand the concept of a show needing to create drama… it’s the whole point of television. you can’t just have everyone be smiley and happy all the time because then nothing would ever happen.

but the fact that miscommunication was such a strong theme on this show is a little sad considering the show is mostly based on relationships… familial, friendly, and romantic… this isn’t a show where big things are happening all the time like shows are today. this was a show about relationships. so it is a little upsetting that most of those relationships weren’t really handled with care.

I do think, though, the familial relationships and friendships were for the most part handled beautifully and that has always been one of my favorite things about the show.
