she's in ecstasy
her hollowed sky
pours down heavenly
and fakes desire
i've been living here
in the red
i've been feeling
i'm dead again

we've been bored before...

i have never felt so alone
since the time we left ourselves
half past gone
we've been living here
up against the red
i've been feeling
i'm dead again

we've been bored before...
we'll be bored again...
we've been bored before and again

she's in ecstasy
her hollowed sky
pours down heavenly
and fakes desire
i've been living here
up against red
i've been knowing
i'm dead again

Reasons Why We All Hate "Riley Finn"

posted by adwbuffy

Angel Buffy and Riley "The Yoko Factor"

As we all look back Season 4. Buffy fell in love with a commando guy who works for underground secert society called the "Intiative". Riley Finn a man who never had a girlfriend in his life until there was Buffy. There relationship was very hard for them in Seasons 4 and 5. Season 4 was about trust and care. When Riley found out about "Angel". He flipped out on Buffy. Like felt that was loosing her in that season. Buffy was trying to make Riley understand her feelings towards Angel.

Season 5 was the worst act yet for Briley. When Buffy first met the famous vampire name "Dracula".Riley was feeling...

Hairy-Legged Feminists

posted by Dragonclaws

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was created by Joss Whedon for the purpose of subverting sexist conventions in the horror genre. Joss describes himself as a feminist, and he promotes feminism through the characters and storylines of Buffy. But while characters may behave in a feminist way, I got to thinking about how feminism itself is depicted in the Buffyverse – it exists as a movement there as it does here, after all. So, here’s a study of how feminism as a movement is portrayed in the Buffyverse.

First of all, I think it’s a good idea to try to get a grip on what Joss’ views are specifically....

9 Reasons Why I Love Buffy the Vampire Slayer

posted by spikes_girl

1. Uh, one word: Spike.

2. Action. I'm a sucker for those fast paced, down-and-dirty fist fights!

3. Character development. Watching shy, scrawny, 10th graders turn into strong, powerful, adults is very engrossing, you must admit.

4. Romance & drama. Who doesn't love complex love triangles, hot sex scenes, and intimate relationships? It doesn't hurt to thrown in some gypsy curses and werewolf complications either.

5. Humor. I enjoy a good LOLing.

6. Fantasy. Magic and warlocks, demons and vampires, are all a part of the Buffy package.

7. Message. Who's for feminism?

8. Vampires. Anything...

My Thoughts on Dracula in the Buffyverse

posted by FanFic_Girl_26

Dracula

Dracula was the historical Vlad Ţepeş. He claimed to have killed more people than God’s plagues combined before he was ever a vampire, and made reference to impaling people in times past (such as those who failed to show him deference, for example).

He met and “hung out” with Anyanka, a vengeance demon and Patron Saint of Scorned Women, when she was about 700 years old. Anyanka had cursed a man by making him incredibly obese, and Dracula complimented her by saying that the man was doomed forever.

In 2000, Dracula came to Sunnydale, a Californian town which lay on a Hellmouth and was home...

"Bad thing"? I was naked. "Bad thing" doesn't cover it"

"I laugh in the face of danger, and then I hide until it goes away."

"I don't like vampires. I'm going to take a stand and say they're not good."

"Come on, Slayer, I like it when you're scared. The more I scare you, the better you smell."

"You know, I don't know what everyone's talking about. That outfit doesn't make you look like a hooker"

"You're in love with a vampire? What, are you out of your mind?"

"You know, Buffy, Spring Fling just isn't any dance. It's a time for students to choose, um, a mate. And then we can observe their mating rituals, and tag them before they migrate...just kill me!"

"I guess a guy's gotta' be undead to make time with you."

"I don't handle rejection well. Funny, considering all the practice I've had, huh?"

"Well, I guess it could be worse. I could have gangrene on my face."

The Gentlemen Song - Hush

posted by mimialliwell

Lyrics to the song in Buffy's prophetic dream during the episode Hush (Season 4 Episode 10)

Can't even shout
Can't even cry
The gentlemen are coming by
Looking in windows
Knocking on doors
They need to take seven
And they might take yours
Can't call to mum
Can't say a word
You're gonna die screaming
But you won't be heard

The song clues the Scooby gang in on what the gentlemen do:
They need to take seven
And they might take yours
Refers to the seven hearts they need to collect
You're gonna die screaming
But you won't be heard
Refers the fact that the Gentlemen take away their voices

Why I Love Bangel

posted by HoltNLucy4Ever

Ever since I first started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, I've always felt that Angel was a better match for Buffy than Spike. To me, Bangel is the perfect couple and they're soul mates who are star-crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet. They've had to deal with things that no other couple have had to deal with but yet they've come out strong in the end. Angel is the one that Buffy truly is meant to be with because she told him she was cookie dough and not fully baked while Angel told her that he wasn't getting any older. They have been through a lot and I will always love them. I've always...

Sarah & David - Friendship or something more ? ~ BTS of the most emotional TV couple of all time!

New York City WB Television Fall 1999 Season Annoucement

Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz have created one of the best (if not the best one) TV couple of all time! What made them so special, what was the reason they were so real ?

One word: Chemistry. This is the key. And it's not only about the great working relationship they had, but it's even more about how they felt about each other in real life. You can see a lot of screen couples which in a movie or series play great loves but in reality barely stand each other (e.g.Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey), or simply don't share any special friendship, just regular working relationship.

"Is This Real?" Chapter 2

posted by brileyforever77

Buffy picked up the test and read it. She was pregnant. "I'm, I'm pregnant", Buffy said to herself as she was starting to cry.

Buffy was crying sad tears and happy tears. Happy tears because she has always wanted a baby. Sad tears because she wasn't ready to have kids and she didn't know what her future would look like with Spike.

"What am I going to do", Buffy asked herself sill crying. All of a sudden Spike open the bathroom door. He saw the pregnancy test in Buffy's hands. He had a very shocked look on his face.

Spike just kept staring back and forth at Buffy and the pregnancy test. "Are you going to say something?", Buffy asked him, as he looked like he was going to. Spike opened his mouth but no words came out.

Wanna read more? Write in the comments how you felt about chapter 2. I am trying really hard to write a good fanfiction story. I hope you all enjoyed chapter 2, there may be a chapter 3!

Buffy vs. Angel

posted by bendaimmortal

If Buffy had died while Faith was in a coma...they wouldn't have called on another Slayer?? I mean, according to the tradition it would've required Faith's death to bring the next one along.

But then again, they don't really follow the Slayer "rules" anyway and whatever they do doesn't follow logic. Like, Kendra and Faith were good and experienced as a Slayers when they were sent to Sunnydale though it was long known that Buffy was alive after all. And even with those duos happening they still took five more seasons to realize that hey, why not make all the potential ones active and thus be...

Dawn Summers: Extraordinary

posted by Faiiiiithh

It takes a teenager to love this teenager... Really. Take a poll. Dawn didn't appeal to the older crowd... But I don't think she was meant to. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was not created to appeal to a general audience.. It was for everyone. (Sure, mostly girls, but the guys were not excluded from the inner Buffy-loving circle.) So Buffy moved up in life. No more School. That's where Dawn comes in. Those teenage years are the hardest, (or so it seems then, but they're hard as hell.) and Dawn was there to represent that exact universal issue. Sure, her school life was not seen very much, but it...

Buffy season 6 overview...

posted by Xillow-Love

At the beginning of season six Willow resurrects Buffy with a powerful spell. Although her friends believe that they have taken her out of Hell, Buffy had actually been in Heaven since her death (a fact that is revealed to her friends later in the season). She is therefore traumatized by her resurrection and this causes her to fall into a deep depression for most of the season.
Giles returns to England after realizing that Buffy has become too reliant on him, while Buffy takes up a fast-food job for money and develops a secret, mutually abusive relationship with Spike.
Dawn is happy to have her...

Angel vs Spike: Who has a Better Understanding What a Soul is?

posted by adwbuffy

After I watched all the seasons. I finshed watching Angel season 5. I was figuring out which vampire with a soul has a better understanding what a soul is?

I was thinking of Angel? At first because he had it longer than Spike. In Angel's dark past and his history behind his soul. He was cursed with gyspies. Cuz, he slaughtered a lot of people and gyspies (Drusilla) was one of the factors because he turned her because of her gifted sight and Angelus's obsession of Drusilla.

Once Angel got his soul he was on redemption. Looking for his path as a demon with a soul. Angel's life changed when he...

The most interesting things on Buffy (that we never got to see)

posted by Asvini

I wrote this a while back and just found it now. It's about the best or most interesting stories or moments that we know happened but were never shown.

1: The first 4 seasons as remembered by the characters.
Ok, this one sounds stupid, of course we've seen the first seasons. But thanks to the monks who added Dawn, the scoobies memories are quite different than what actually happened. Yet we never found out just how different and what we know that they dont. eg, when Angelus was after Buffy he went after her friends and family. A little sister would be a perfect target in his mind. In their memories...

Thoughts on Rape in the Whedonverse:

posted by NikaDawson

Rape plays a large and controversial part in the Whedonverse. When most people think of rape in the ‘verse they will most always think of the scene in Seeing Red, whether you be a Spuffy or Bangel or even Tillow.
I will try to keep my own thoughts and feelings about that scene from this. I have a personal bias for the character Spike and the ship of Buffy & Spike and I’m sure that shows.
If you were just looking for the obvious attempt of physical rape, then yes, Seeing Red would enter your mind. It is most interesting to me that one that is only attempted, never followed through...
