this is a petty, obnoxious, complaining post. please feel free to ignore it

I hate my job, and I have heard exactly one thing about today's S8 comic, and I'm already pissed. Now, I'm incredibly ignorant about anything else in this installment, but apparently Buffy kisses Angel/Twilight at the end. This is NOT COOL (not because of my shipper affiliation; I was pretty resigned to the idea that my ship won't ever be canon again) but because my Buffy would not kiss someone who was ACTIVELY KILLING SLAYERS. When she was with soulless!Spike, he wasn't killing anyone, he had a chip in his head, and he babysat her sister. But right now Angel is trying to kill her friends. I wouldn't care if someone wrote a fic like this. I do care when it's canon. But again, I don't know context, and that probably makes a difference, and when I find out what it is, I'll regret rambling like this. And maybe later Emmie will share reasons why this isn't such a bad thing at all. And if not, well, there's always Thought You Should Know, my S8 happy-place!

Also, while I'm being petty: in an interview, Scott Allie apparently said that Joss says the most important thing to Angel is Buffy. This makes me sadface, not because of the shipping thing (again: resigned) but because WHAT ABOUT CONNOR???? Anyone who says that Connor isn't the most important person in Angel's life is just ridiculous. Unless something happened in the Angel comics I'm not aware of, CONNOR IS ANGEL'S LIFE. PERIOD.

...aaand now I'm over it! Just needed to get it out of my system, apparently!

And I hope everyone who is reading the comics genuinely enjoyed this issue. I wish you only happy fandom love!

Still, I'm not having such a good day. I need more .gifs!



Buffy being adorable and Spike loving it always makes me feel better.

I KNOOOOOOOW. That makes me a thousand times more upset than anything that could possibly happen involving the LOVE TRIANGLE OF DOOM.

CONNOR! *loves him* *loves that Angel loves him*

DIDN'T ANGEL HIMSELF SAY THAT AS LONG AS CONNOR WAS OKAY, NOTHING ELSE MATTERED? WHY, YES. YES HE DID.

Btw, I don't know if you ever read Buffyverse fic anymore, but if you want some Connor love, the fic I linked to in the post has some EPIC CONNOR. It's a Spuffy story, very Buffy-centric, really, but if you ever wanted to skim through and find Connor kicking ass, I think you would love it.

I need Connor icons. Actually I need more AtS icons in general, but it baffles me that I have no Connor icons. He's one of my favorite Buffyverse characters of all time.

SERIOUSLY JOSS GET A GRIP. THERE ARE SOME CANON SLIPS I CAN TOLERATE BUT NOW YOU GO TOO FAR. And I'm a B/A 'shipper who thinks that those two will always love each other on some level, but come on.

Oh, awesome! I need to check that out; I love fics that have Connor being excellent on the side. carlyinrome's fic Fixer Uppers is technically Dawn/Faith with a side of Buffy/Angel, but there also Connor being the greatest, too. (Hee. We should swap recs more often.)

This. Take that, Joss.

Haha, okay, so I read your post, and then came back to the comments later, and when I saw this, I got all excited like, "Oooh, Epic Connor fic!" And then I scrolled up to see what fic you were talking about and was like, "Oh. Duh. Right. But I've read that one."
