@bil-daddy, You'd make a great MIDWIFE ...
Felt like uploading it here as well instead of just sharing from YouTube (YT link in notes)
If you haven’t seen this already, do yourself a favor and watch it now
Preferably somewhere where it’s safe to wheeze-laugh so much you lose your breath
I want a Neil Gaiman audiobook of this
If Neil Gaiman sees this I’m probably gonna spontaniously combust
“he would not fucking say that!” then put him in a situation that makes him say it, we wanna see him squirm
It's good old fashioned characterization practice when confronted with "he would not fucking say that" to go "under what circumstances WOULD he say that?" And then go "and how would he get into those circumstances?" And boom. You have a MUCH more solid character.
It's also a fun magic trick as a writer to write a guy so well you get people foaming at the mouth on the comments going "HE WOULD NOT SAY THAT BUT HE *DOES* AND IT *MAKES SENSE* FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!"
Con O'Neill on HBO cancelling the Our Flag Means Death and it not being picked up by any other tv or service :( ❤:
Con O'Neill: Hello, it's Con. I just wanted to do a quick video to express my thanks to all of you for trying so hard to find the new home for Our Flag Means Death. And it's a great thing that we got the opportunity to make such a beautifully diverse, complex, funny, kind, provocative, dark, loving, queer story. We got to make it. We put it out there, and you lot found it. And in bottom line terms, you were all the home we ever needed. And that can be enough. We've made this thing, it's ours, forever. And thank you for being part of it. So, to you and to all your gorgeousness and your strength and your diversity and your kindness and your incredible, beautiful, complex depth of character, I am eternally grateful. And I'll see you out there. Bye bye.
I really hoped Prime might pick OFMD up but it was not to be :( ❤. Still, fuck yeah GO/OFMD crossovers! :) 🏴☠️
Historians will say they were only friends
Busy brunch.
Top 10 Spuffy fics I’ve read (Feb 2024)
- Dear Slayer by Elsa Frohman [PG-13]
Season 7 AU, based on the speculation that Spike might come back as a "living" vampire.
- Drive by Holly [NC-17]
Freshly turned and very grumpy about it, Buffy finds herself in a weird place. One where her friends smell like food, her former mortal enemy smells like heaven, and the so-called love of her life has made it clear that killing her is on his to-do list. Throw in some overly zealous army guys and this is not Buffy's idea of a party. So she and Spike decide to hit the road at least long enough to figure out why neither of them can hit anything else. And since they're both single and free, well, Buffy wouldn't say no to a distraction from the never-ending laugh riot that is her life. And Spike can be very, very distracting. Good thing soulless vampires can't fall in love or she might be in trouble.
- Fireworks by RavenLove12 [NC-17]
The gang is throwing a beach party for the 4th of July in hopes it will lift Buffy’s spirits and help her find a new love. Trouble is she’s already falling for someone they don’t expect.
- Found by CupcakeCute [PG-13]
Begins between TGIQ and Power Play, continues post-NFA. Buffy learns of Spike's resurrection from an unlikely source and immediately sets out to make things right as The Apocalypse breaks out in L.A. Spike/Buffy pairing, some Angel/Cordelia.
- The Kind of Anticlimactic that's… Not by EllieRose101 [PG]
Hellmouth activity has been almost worryingly absent of late, and with less trouble in Buffy’s life, she’s had nothing stopping her from spending extra time with her lover… Except maybe she has that backwards? (Alternative Season Six.)
- Phoenix by EllieRose101 [NC-17]
Spike saved Buffy at great personal cost—something she hopes to repay. (Goes off-canon near the end of Once More with Feeling.)
- Ready by sweetprincipale [NC-17]
AU early season 5. Riley and Buffy are still together and something big happened over the summer- a little bundle of joy is on the way. Buffy is not so joyful about how Riley is now treating her. She's ready to be seen as the Slayer and woman she still is, and Spike doesn't object to lending a hand (or other parts).
- Spike's Girlfriend by EllieRose101 [PG]
Spike’s in love and the Scooby Gang are sick hearing about it—Buffy most of all. (Alternative Season Six.)
- Under The Influence by NautiBitz [NC-17]
A few nights after their engagement spell, Buffy has to watch Spike. Problem is, a psychedelic demon may have just spritzed her with a mind-altering substance. Will Spike seize the moment? Or will they just end up naked? HMMM.
- You've Got The Look by Geliot99 [NC-17]
“Buffy?” he mumbled as something soft brushed delicately across his eyelid. “Don’t open your eyes,” she said quietly, her voice flat with concentration, “or you’ll get poked with the eyeshadow brush.” He paused, motionless beneath her. “I’ll what now?” “Just hold still.”
black sails is about them. to me.
Oh, my love
I know, I am a cold, cold man
