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?

\o/ That thread got very interesting! I didn't read past the newbie who tripped out about Buffy/Giles. Will have to catch up on it this afternoon...but I basically agree with Emmie, just from skimming the replies.

Hahaha! The newbie cracked me up. I mean, yeah, Buffy/Giles freaks me out, too, because I hate that sort of unequal distribution of power thing, but it's far, far, far from the most squickly thing I've seen in my...ten years of fandom activity.

The whole thread is kind of trippin'. It's all over the place. The last few comments especially are just insane. I'll be anxious to hear what you have to say.

Well, I finally got around to reading/replying but I'm afraid my Whedonesque comment was short and pointed. There wasn't much I could add to the discussion because you'd said a lot of what I would have and said it very well, better than I'd have even.

Aw! Thank you! And I'm really glad you pointed out the thing about abused people (particularly women) going back to their abusers. Because it needed to be said. Thanks.
