I don't actually create anything for fandom. I'm just here for the ride, reblogging the hell out of cool stuff. Sometimes I vomit up my feelings about stuff including (but not limited to): BBC Merlin, Supernatural, Doctor Who, Star Trek. I also rant about my bipolar disorder.

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

Season 2, episode 1 and I’m having so many feeling about Xander and Willow’s blind carelessness for Buffy and her feelings.

Beyond the obvious PTSD that they’re ignoring, they made her feel ostracized in the last episodes of season 1. It was the first time the show demonstrated inside jokes that her two best (only) friends had, which made her remember she’s an outsider, even in this found family she’s attempting to cobble together. Then she comes home to more of their carefree obliviousness, having another private, flirty, best friend moment while she bursts in to save their lives, yet again.

Sure, these two “know the score” as she said after the Owen disaster, but honestly, they’re just friends with her because they inserted danger and excitement into their lives. She fills Xander’s need for a manly, aggressive outlet and Willow’s need for attention and intellectual stimulation. They’re using her as much as anyone else, and she spent the whole summer alone, dealing with trauma, noticing that.

Anya and Spike should have interacted and bonded more. They're both killers who had their ability to kill stripped away and basically had to go "ok so now what?". They tried to get their abilities back and failed. So now they're trying to be good because, well what else is there to do? Then they start to do good because they actually want to. They're both kind of on the outskirts of the gang, only tolerated because someone they love happens to be there. I think they're dynamic would have been fun to explore.

Honestly, I feel so bad for Dawnie. The fact that this poor girl isn’t a solid mass of 100% abandonment issues is a goddamn miracle. Her parents are divorced and her dad is completely missing in action and then over the course of a little more than a year, her mom died, her sister died, her sister came back to life but deeply traumatized and emotionally unavailable, Spike was largely pushed out of her life by Buffy’s return, Willow and Tara broke up and Tara moved out, Giles left, Willow got so deep into her addiction that she emotionally abandoned Dawn and also got her in a care accident, Xander and Anya broke up and Anya went back to being a demon, Tara died, Spike left, and Willow left. And all Dawn gets up to is some light shoplifting and one wish for them all to spend time together? Why doesn’t Dawn get to burn down a school, she fucking deserves it.

Not enough credit is giving to the ghost facers who managed to predict the future and legacy of supernatural with their "gay love will pierce the veil and save the day"

Listen pal. On the very little chance that destiel becomes real. I need mr. Jackles to put his whole pussy into that performance. I need him to kiss Cas like he’s rediscovered air. Like he’s been drowning his entire life and now Cas’s lips are on him and suddenly—oxygen exists.

I need it to look like Dean’s been waiting for this moment his entire life without even realizing it. I want him to be stunned and in awe. I want him to melt into Cas—make his shoulders fall into him a little and i want him to make that awed breathless look he does. And i want it to be like Dean cant help but be pliant and at ease with whatever Cas wants bc holy shit—cas is kissing him and its so good and it was never effortless but he’s here now and it feels like he’s somehow made it home.

thinking about the difference between melodramatic, moody angel telling buffy he wishes he could see her in direct sunlight vs. spike just straight up scurrying around Sunnydale with a blanket over his head whenever he gets bored and wants to see buffy during the day

Buffy the Vampire Slayer season two finale would be so astonishingly powerful if David Boreanaz could. act. I’m sorry I’m sorry but guys. It’s still astonishingly powerful but Sarah Michelle Gellar is holding up the sky entirely on her own.

it’s always “your redemption is something you have to work towards for the rest of your life” and never “how was the unhinged spiral into evil? the unhinged spiral into evil looked fun”

james marsters deliberately playing spike in a more sympathetic way to avoid his character being killed off after season 2 so he could keep his job is so funny. guy was literally scheming his way into job security by turning a throwaway villain into emo boy audience bait and it WORKED. gotta say i respect the grind

bbc merlin - 03x12 The Coming of Arthur, Part I

merlin's life with arthur is like the very opposite of "choose your own adventure". he doesn't get to choose. he barely ever even gets to move his own body before getting pushed or pulled in some direction
