Hey, y'all!

Get your Xander!hate on! eleusis_walks is doing his 30 Days of BtVS, and even though there are many, many topics I strongly disagree with him on, he is always thoughtful and awesome and interesting. And the things I do agree with him on? I agree violently.

Like our mutual hate for the ultimate Nice Guy Xander Harris. He basically lists every single hateful thing that Xander ever says/does and I am glorying in my hate. He also has a love-post devoted to Anya, which I haven't gotten to read yet, but I know is wonderful because anything involving Anya is wonderful. And eleusis_walks loves Dawn and Cordy and Jenny and basically a ton of awesome ladies, so I forgive him for not loving my boy and my girl enough. ;D

So join the hate fest! Or if you like Xander...well, I would like to hear why. Because it is beyond my understanding.

I don't think I hate Xander as much as I hate Angel, and Xander does have some redeeming qualities (can't think of any with my hate-on at 100% at the moment, but I know he has them . . . ooh! He hates Angel too! That's a good quality!), but I've noticed when I disagree with eleusis_walks I disagree fiercely. See: blackfrancine's ATS season 4 post. But when he's on . . . he's on.

I like Angel more than Xander. He treats Cordy well and even though I disagree with almost every moral decision he makes, he's at least consistent. I always believe he wants to be good, even if he goes about it the wrong way and even if he can be self-righteous about it. Plus, I really believe he loves Connor. There are times (when he's not around Buffy) that I really like Angel.

But I don't like anything about Xander. Not at all.

But when he's on . . . he's on.

True!

Heee, I love Angel so much when he's far away from Buffy. gahh Buffy/Angel bring out the worse of each other.

I have many Xander issues and I'm trying to like him cause I know that for some reason the characters do love him... but I really have to make an effort. I think when he's written OOC meanin more self-aware he can be awesome.
