I think it represents that high pitched squeal that 12 year old girls use as a greeting. Gah. My poor ears.
Out of all the fanon you find in fic, this is my most hated. Well, one of my most hated. What are your other most hateds? Because this one takes the cake for me. I actually really really liked it at first, but so many people use it that now I just want to scream "she can smell like other things!" whenever I read it.
Most fic avoids the issue, but I've seen it both ways. I read a very funny fic in which Willow, Anya, Buffy and Spike all run into each other as they're buying hair dye. And I once wrote a drabble on the subject. Oh, happiness. Do you remember the fic, and what's your drabble called?
Joss once commented that if they couldn't, the show would have ended after two episodes. How they hell do they walk around and talk? I never sweat the magical stuff. I figure the body chemisrty is completely different. (On a related and gross note, I assume that they don't digest at all. If they eat food, it goes out just the way it came in. No wonder Angel avoids food.) Yeah, we had a conversation about vampire digestion at the Blood Roses forum. Your version is distinctly more gross. Anyway, I ask about this in particular because whenever I write about arousal I write about what the blood is doing (and I did so long before I ever met BtVS). It's what makes you feel all hot and tingly and uncomfortable whenever you're around someone you're attracted to. Without being able to describe those things, I feel kind of...lost. Of course, the arousal is still there in the mind, but that's just not quite the same.
Sadly, he gets over the Maybelline fixation in AtS season 4. Bummer! (The thought that Angel is in horrible pain, stumbling out of bed but first applies a little eye product before he leaves cracks me up no end.) Me too, which is why I ask. Some funny stuff could be done with it.
There is a fair amount of Dawn/Andrew out there. No, I don't get it either. Yeah, lemme just say 'huh?' to that.
And DB wasn't much of an actor when he started, but that quickly changed. ("Why you ridin' me." WTF? Has there ever been a more un-Angel utterance?) What episode was that in? And no, there hasn't been. Most people answered with the idea that sometimes Angel-as-Angel was unconvincing, but as you say, that's the writers' fault. To me, however, DB was sometimes just a bad actor. You're right, he did get a lot better after S1, but there were still some lines he delivered that I just couldn't be there with him on.
I think David enjoys messing with people and will say anything that pops into his head. Or, possibly he drops acid. lol
