I'm waiting....

Replies to my last few posts are forthcoming (I've loved all of y'all's thoughts!), but first:

I am disappointed in y'all! No one on my flist has posted about the new Season 8 preview? I need y'all's thoughts! Your fury or excitement! Where's the drama?

Come on. With the way y'all are not talking, you'd think you had actual lives or something.

oh my god they parodied the eclipse poster.

OH MY GOD. LOL FOREVER.

this icon now applies to so many things involving twilight. i can't believe the fuckery these s8 comics have brought to the world. i have so much rage in me and i've read FOUR of them in total. and oh look i am literally talking about this on tumblr as we speak.

BUT REALLY WHAT IS THIS SHIT HOW IS IT ALLOWED TO EXIST?

you know what actually i hate about the s8 comics more than anything else?

skinless alive warren

because absolving willow of murder retroactively is the absolute most disgusting thing

i didn't even know about that.

i swear, everything sunnydale touches just gets all sorts of messed up. this is why i can't bring myself to re-watch btvs. i'm still too ragey over the stunts they pull.

yeah he was saved from death by Amy Madison and together they wreak vengeance on Willow

so Willow gets to stop feeling bad about having killed a guy

fuck Willow, fuck her forever

I agree with this statement.

And apparently when people pointed out that WARREN IS DEAD, Joss said something like, "Oh, I forgot." WHAT.

it's in the letters column. he straight up says 'i forgot the first evil impersonated him; let's say he was clinically dead for a minute' when asked how it could have happened if warren wasn't really dead.

That was Joss basically saying "F-you, I'm gonna do what I want and screw canon."

No way do I believe he forgot his favorite character ripped the skin off a semi-major character.

I do think that the Twilight parody is legit funny, even if it doesn't quite work.

But S8 is RIDICULOUS and I imagine that EVERY SINGLE THING about it makes you angry, and rightfully so.

at least somewhere in there is a vague sense of humor.

i just can't. i mean, really my knowledge of s8 is related to ships of various combinations because oh look where do my interests lie, but i have also been informed of angel's characterization as a whole and as a giant raging angel fangirl, i am pissed.

i think i'll end up comment stalking this post because your flist will be raging about many of the same things i rage about, albeit from a different angle. i will wait and provide support through gifs. i have a whole collection of lilah morgan ones now from tumblr. :D

I am angry on behalf of the Angel fans. I really, really am. Y'all don't deserve this.

There are a few people on my flist who still think there's a chance that Joss will salvage the whole thing. I really do applaud their optimism, even if I can't agree. But yeah, most of us will be all OMGWTFBBQ?!?!? about everything. We even started an entire community dedicated to snarking about S8.

I look forward to your Lilah gifs!
