This Is Real

It has been more than 20 years since BtVS. I think we've grown; we've matured; we have moved past the need for a bloody ship war... so can we please 🥺 do a little bit of a ship war but like... just for fun?

So... (and involving both text, subtext, one-sided text, and some 'there simply being enough people who ship it to earn a spot'-text)...

(grab your stakes and scythes for this battle -> BUT ONLY THE STUFFED TOY KIND. Bonus points if they make clown noises when clashing against each other)

ive become such a spike apologist its terrible. spike will literally make a buffy-shaped sex robot to have sex with and i’m like but listen it’s because everybody told him he’s not a real person and can’t feel real love so he decided that the best he could do was to be in a relationship with someone who also isn’t a real person. because he doesn’t think he’s capable or deserving of anything else. because everybody TOLD him he’s not

What's that poem about the cockroach and the moth where the cockroach is like "I wish I've ever wanted anything the way that moth wanted to burn itself up in that lantern" because we had to read that in high school and it still fucks me up to this day

Angel: oh god I can sense Buffy is about to have a good time. Better ruin her birthday/christmas/prom with my evil/sullen bullshit.

Good Omens Fandom assemble! It's that time again...

Another Amazon Prime poll that we need to turn around. You know what to do:

https://www.youtube.com/@PrimeVideo/community

Currently at 25% in 3rd place, but I know we can change that quickly. NOTE: if you're on mobile open the link in your browser and choose 'desktop mode' to view the community tab (shoutout to everyone who put this tip in the comments of my last poll post!)

you cannot ship cassidy and tulip in the show, theyre abusive af in the comics and i know youve read them

forever thinking about how destiel is a complete inversion of the typical "i'll love you in every universe” trope.

like this was their only chance!!! they only loved each other the once!!! they loved each other enough that they overwrote destiny and fate. they said "i know the universe has a plan for me, but screw the universe. screw god and fate and destiny, because i have you." they loved each other enough to rewrite the fabric of the universe. they changed everything.
