lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([btvs] not happy)

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.

Well. I don't like it when people make dramatic faces/noises, thereby attracting attention to themselves. Also, I don't like how some girls will only drink 'girly' mixed drinks and get all finicky over harder liquor. Third, I kind of view pulling a face, or excessive coughing after taking a drink as a sign of weakness. ...obviously this last one is especially dumb, and makes about as much sense as a guy who refuses to admit that he's cold when it's fucking cold outside.

I can handle all three of these things separately without being irritated, but when you roll it all together, then I start getting a little disdainful.

Although to be honest, I can think of one person in my life whom I love enough that if she did the exact same thing, I would probably be just as charmed.

I make no sense!

Wow! I would be like the walking embodiment of your pet peeves! The one time in my life I had a sip of whiskey (in an attempt to clear up a cold), I made this exact same face and danced around the room like I’d stubbed my toe. That stuff is nasty, and it made my face screw up of its own accord (I also shoved crackers in my mouth). I don’t like the taste of alcohol, and I’ve never had more than a few sips of anything, and the only thing I’ve ever had that I unabashedly liked was Magner’s Cider. Besides that, if I was a drinker, I’d probably only go for the little girly drinks. I get around this by not drinking at all!

There are definitely people I love enough that I'm charmed by what would otherwise drive me crazy. Love does that!

Haha! That's okay. It just means that you and I will never go to a bar together ;) Whiskey is pretty much the only thing I'll drink. I mean.. I'm willing to drink other hard liquors, but I flat out refuse beer, wine and mixed drinks. All so very gross.

Hee! I don't really go to bars that often, anyway. Pubs-in-the-UK, on the other hand, are a different story.

Beer is nasty, nasty, nasty. The only okay-ish beer I've ever seen is in Belgium. As for wine, there are only a few white ones that I can tolerate. I don't know that I've ever had a mixed drink. Does sangria count? I wasn't crazy about it.

Um. I would call Sangria a mixed drink only because I have no idea what else to classify it as. And I don't like Sangria either. It has fruit in it. Fruit is what makes me pull faces.

Yeah, I have no clue what category it fits into. I love fruit, but apparently not with alcohol.

Same here. I always make the goofy faces when drinking hard liquor.

On the other hand, I hate drinking fruity girly drinks, so I've forced myself to develop a taste for beer. That's pretty much what I drink nowadays when going for something alcoholic. Good ol' Shiner.

*Winces* You'd hate me. :P I can't help my tastes!
