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.

This is great! You know how much I love Ron, and though I've just started watching A:tLA, I have ~thoughs on Sokka. He reminds me a whole lot of Xander, except that I don't hate him because he grew more in ONE EPISODE (the one where the kick-ass girl teaches him to fight and he gets all dressed up in the makeup with the fan?) than Xander does in SEVEN SEASONS. I think he's going to continue to become awesome, and so I can like him.

I started out loving them but it waned over the seasons.

I can see this.

Mmmm…maybe a big part of what kept me liking them was Buffy always loving them? :p From the start, I saw them through Buffy-colored glasses.

I can definitely see this. I acquired those glasses later, so I understand that she loves them, but I wish she wouldn't let them treat her the way she does. *loves on Buffy*

HE IS. HE ISSS. *excited for you to see just how much* I think that episode started my Sokka-love. Plus, “I am a warrior. I’m also a girl”? Looove.

I understand that she loves them, but I wish she wouldn't let them treat her the way she does.
She is SO FORGIVING. In her place, I don’t think I would be.
