This Just In! Rant! Fic! Hookers!

I know you'll never believe my amazing news! I didn't when I first heard about it! But it's all true!



Buffy doesn't think she's fat. Buffy doesn't think she's ugly. In fact, she thinks she's pretty damn PRETTY.

Buffy is not a hooker.

Buffy has boobs. Nice boobs. She does not worry about the size of her rack. Ever. Sometimes she even looks down at them and thinks, "wow, perky!"

Angel is also not a hooker.

Angel has sex with women occasionally. Lots of times he likes it. Lots of times he doesn't EVER say, "ugh, vaginas, gross."

Spike is also not a hooker. He is also not a drug addict. By the way, Buffy is not a drug addict. And Angel is NOT in a gang.

Fred exists!

Gunn is not just a fuck buddy.

Angel is not a pimp. You may think with that velvet jacket--but you'd be wrong.

Buffy does not dress like a skanky ho just for the fun of dressing like a skanky ho.

Dru is not sane. She's really really not. She does not live in a white house with a picket fence and file for divorce from Spike because he had sex with Buffy.

Dru is also not a secretary at a law firm.

Gunn does understand and can make use of proper grammar.

Buffy does not need a translator for Spike. She understands the gist of bint and bloody and pillock. She may get uptight about the word "shirty" but she does not feel the need to carry a slang dictionary to decipher him. Spike is English. Sort of. Get over it.

Lindsey is not an innocent.

Lorne is not gay.

Dawn won't go away just because you hate her. Dawn isn't actually a hooker either. Dawn wouldn't even dance in a strip club, not even if the pay was really great.

Buffy is funny. Xander is funny. Spike's funny too. Believe it or not, Angel's funny too. In fact, find me a person in Jossverse who is not occasionally funny, and I will find you a person who has way too much time on their hands finding out the name of that one guy on that one ep who never cracked a joke. Unless you pick Glory because we all know the writers tried really hard but she really wasn't funny. She really wasn't.

Sometimes, Giles doesn't drink tea. Or clean his glasses.

Wesley exists!

Cordelia is not heartless. Cordelia is not a hooker, either. Not even a high pay one.

Spike uses product, too.

Buffy's not a natural blond. Neither is Cordelia. Neither is Spike.

Andrew isn't innocent either. Faith isn't innocent either. I actually don't know about the hooker part though. Or even the drug addict part. I'm pretty sure she isn't in one of those girl gangs, though. Andrew might be, though.

Riley isn't a rapist.

Riley loves Buffy. Angel loves Buffy. Giles loves Buffy. Xander loves Buffy. And not just in the he wants to feel her up way, though there is that.

Buffy loves Xander. Buffy would in fact die for Xander.

Buffy is intelligent.

Xander doesn't only reference Star Wars.

BtVS S2 Angel would never coerce S2 Buffy into having sex with him.

Buffy would never call Spike "Sir." Or "Master."

Lots of the characters in Jossverse would have lots of wiggins about having sex with more than one person. Doesn't mean you shouldn't write it. Doesn't mean you even have to deal with it when you write it. Just sayin'.

Lots of the characters in Jossverse would have lots of wiggins about having sex with someone of their own sex. Doesn't mean you shouldn't write it. Doesn't mean you even have to deal with it when you write it. Just sayin'.

Tara does not mother everyone in sight. She's actually shy, in case you missed that part.

Willow has speech patterns. In fact, everyone in Jossverse has a distinct way of speaking. No one in Jossverse talks like an eighteenth century novel. Not even when they are in the eighteenth century.

Buffy's father never beat her.

Angelus killed his family. Angelus tortured Drusilla. Angelus tried to make more monsters in his own image. Angelus murdered Jenny Calendar, and liked it. I don't have physical evidence (pity) but I'm telling you right now he got off on it. Angelus has killed more people than you've ever met. Angelus would kill you.

Spike probably would, too.

Buffy actually never ever ever looks shabby or slovenly. Because need I remind you, she's not a drug addict or homeless or an abused child or a victim of some horrible unspeakable crime.

Angel does not worry that his name sounds girly. That much.

Buffy thinks about things besides men. She also thinks about things besides sex. So, actually, does Angel. Yes, folks, even Spike and Xander have thoughts beyond sex, and those thoughts they have are not about bondage fun between sex, and nor are they about getting married and having children and getting a dog. They're actually thoughts about saving the world and PlayStation and table tennis and what am I going to wear tomorrow and I wonder whether those crazy kids on Dawson's Creek will hook up.

Gunn is taller than Angel.

Willow actually moves beyond Oz. Not saying she stops loving him. She does learn to love someone else too.

But everything everyone says about Kennedy is true. She actually probably is a hooker.

Thanks.

Though I feel like everyone could be as smart as us if they chanced to remember the shows they're stealing characters from. No! I'm not jaded and bitter!

I less than three you too!

Gunn is taller than Angel.

Thank you. Every time someone writes otherwise, a little piece of my soul dies.

There was some other good stuff too, like the hair dye and product and also the evil vampire issue. Sometimes I think I'm reading a story where Angelus raises baby bunnies in his spare time (and not just to harass Anya).

I meant to put in the actual proof I have that Angel is not in fact a fluffy bunny: at garden stores they sell dried blood to sprinkle on your plants so bunnies won't eat them, because bunnies don't like blood.

After Doyle and before Spike Angel is the shortest guy on the show. But with some people their OTC has to be taller than everyone and their mama. I've read fics in which Spike is taller than Gunn. I mean COME ON! Gunn is freakishly tall!

[identity profile] aloneinthetown.livejournal.com 2006-05-03 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
NO WAY!!!!! Angel is so like this guy whose all rich and he's a total asshole but he's so sexy that Buffy doesn't care and has no integrity. Then they'll like get together and fuck all the time, and he talks all dirty and she feels like shit BUT IT'S OKAY because he'll so eventually regret it when he has this weird revelation for no reason that he loves her forever!!!!!!!11111112334forty-two

You know you believe it.

TOTALLY FORGOT about that aspect of it. It's all true what you say, especially the part where Spike assaults her and Angel kills him and Buffy is all like YAY! MURDER! My murdering hero! And the chief of police is Angel's best friend Wesley who is shorter than Spike but okay with murder and stuff. And then Buffy and Angel have more dirty sex. On the table. In a restaurant, where no one notices.

Boreanaz is taller than Denisof, and all the other guys on BtVS. The only one taller is JAR. His shoulders are also wider. They just rigged it on camera so it was hard to tell. Much like the way they made Seth Green appear taller than Hannigan, when in fact, I think he might be the shortest person since the creation of time.

Thank you for mentioning that vampires without souls are occasionally, you know, actually evil.

Next up can you mention how it's unlikely that Spike is a fairy prince? Kthx.

Oh, freakishly tall men are so hot. JAR's 6'4" and the first guy I ever brought home as a date was 6'7". (I'm only 5'5".)

Fic writers tend to exaggerate everything about Spike, it seems.

Is he really? Huh. Must've had a fact wrong. Possibly out of a subconscious wish that DB was taller. I'm almost as tall as he is.

Green really is wee. It makes me strangely happy.

I'm not so sure Spike isn't. Ever notice how awful Buffy was to him, how cruel everyone was, when all he wanted to do was flit about and bake them cupcakes?
ext_7189: (Default)

[identity profile] tkp.livejournal.com 2006-05-03 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! I was just saying I wished DB was taller. I'm almost 6 feet. I like a guy that can make me feel small. Too bad the only really excellent guys I've met in the 6'4" range are both my brothers!

They don't exaggerate his wee!ness. Oh wait, sometimes they do.

I can see you've spent a LOT of time thinking about these things. I appreciate your posting them for us. :-)

Yeah, it was tough to figure some of these things out. It's difficult to tell, really, that BtVS isn't actually a show that takes place in a bordello. But now that I've done all the work for you guys and come to these really thought provoking conclusions, I had to share my work with everyone. And quell the need to ram it down anyone's throat.

Spike and Angelus would not kill me because I am the violet-eyed sekrit half-vampire/half slayer/half Key mpreg daughter of Dawn, Connor, and um someone else and I would STAKE THEM WITH MY MYSTIC UNICORN HORN! Which would not kill them but make them fall desperately in love with me except I'd kind of rather have Faith and Willow desperately in love with me. Never mind.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2006-05-03 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Having stood next to Boreanaz, I can tell you he's over 6 ft. Also, he smells good.

Spike is the muffin man. It all makes sense now.

[identity profile] kita0610.livejournal.com 2006-05-03 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
But Willow is an evol bitca who hates men Buffy everybody!

Also, I stole your unicorn.

They also would never kill puppies. Angelus only nailed that one to the door because it had rabies and was actually planning on taking over the world with very small pieces of china. And they would never kill mermaids or bunny rabbits or Christmas carolers or small curvy Zoroastrians either, because they are really good at heart. And strangely Zoroastrian. And yeah oh yeah do they love to be impaled on each other I mean on wild Amazon queens who are actually men draped in jewels and twinkley things, I mean mystic unicorn horns, now and then. And Faith and Willow eewwww vaginas I can't believe you like those things they're so dirty and uncocklike.

I'm just going to assume that if in future I ever need a list of fics to avoid, you'll be able to provide.
