Thinky thoughts of the Spike-ish kind

[lirazel]

This is one of those "I'm having a conversation on whedonesque; tell me what you think about what I'm saying" posts.

This particular conversation starts out about Willow/Tara (and my thoughts line up precisely with Emmie's, big surprise there) and then becomes about S6 and then, finally, becomes about Spike.

And I just wrote a novel.

But I feel like I left something vital out.

Any thoughts?

Hey! I am a fair-skinned brunette, too. Well, right now I am a freckle-skinned brunette, but that's the sun's fault.

You can join our human work of art!

I freckle a bit, and then I burn, and then I go back to being pale. So I avoid the sun at all costs. I'm like Nicole Kidman. Except that I can still move my forehead. Also, I'm not anything like Nicole Kidman.

Also: appropriate icon is appropriate!

Oooh! And I'm 5'6" so if Emmie, you, and me stand in a line in that order, we'll be like those AT&T "more bars in more places" ads!

That made me laugh. Literally out loud.

You know, I hear the kids are abbreviating that "lol" nowadays. :)

I actually saw a T-shirt in Key West with the bar thing on it. Except with actual drinking establishments, not you and me and Emmie, because that would be weird and awesome. I kind of wish I'd bought it, but I was like Buffy in a deird1 fic with the tacky souvenirs this vacation, so I restrained myself.

I thought it merited the actual spelling out. Just for emphasis's sake. ;)

That would have been weird and awesome. But the thought of the actual t-shirt makes me giggle.

YES. Make it so.

Though we need another person or two so we can be depicting good reception...

Hmmm, how tall is Gabs? She'd have to dye her hair brown, though.

Perhaps we could put an ad on craigslist for brown-haired, fair-skinned women 5'3" or shorter and 5'7" or taller, willing to stand in a line with crazy awesome people?

I'm 5'1" - would I qualify? (Icon is me.)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

We'll have to find a 5'2" and 5'3" to fill in the gap, but I think that should work.

Also, I love that picture: you look so happy. It's fabulous.

Hmm...I'm not sure. I wonder if she'd be willing to sacrifice the blue for a chance at standing in a line with us.

I bet everyone who read that ad would think we're some kind of fetishists. Or maybe we are?

[next_to_normal]

Hahaha, do you ever get the urge to post random ads like that, just to see who responds? Or is that just me?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the dregs of humanity use Craigs List for fetish purposes...and I'm not sure I'd want to encounter them.

Though it probably also would be screamingly hilarious while it makes you reach for the brain bleach....

Alas, I am 5'6".

I have been brunette before, and I would be willing to do so again as well as, you know, squatting a little to look short But I'm still gonna have to have my blue streaks.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Your blue streaks can complement Emmie's eyes and create some visual interest. *nod*
