theforestlesbian replied to your post “B99 me too episode.. awful”
the episode was so weird because Amy said "every woman deals with this" but the whole police prescient, including Amy, was acting like this was the first assault case they'd ever handled? Bad
i know lol how many free vacation days do hitchcock and scully get just because two of their coworkers are investigating assault

throwback, how about Willow/Buffy for 25?
25. new year’s eve kiss
“Happy New Year!” Buffy trills, and throws her arms around Willow with reckless abandon. She blinks, adorably serious and visibly tipsy, then presses a sticky kiss to Willow’s cheek. “Sorry,” she giggles, wiping at the smudge of chocolate she’s left there. “Oh my gosh, oh, sorry–”
“What was that?” Willow asks, a nervous laugh in her voice.
“New Year’s kiss!” Buffy explains, smiling at Willow like they’re not cuddled all close. Or maybe like they always have been. “C’mon, Will, you know the tradition! Ring in the new year with someone you love, right?”
“Yeah, but–” Willow fumbles, blushing. “You usually kiss someone you want to, you know, kiss.” Gosh, could she be any more dorky-high-school-sophomore? This close to Buffy, all her old crushy feelings are coming back with a vengeance.
Buffy blinks at Willow, frowning. “Did you miss a memo?” she says. “Or do you just want this to be a friend kiss?”
Willow stares. Then she says, “You might have to be a little less, uh, vague? You know me, I’m the kinda girl who usually needs things spelled out, especially if you’re saying what I think you’re saying which I’d really like you to be saying but I don’t want to pressure you into saying it especially not if–”
Buffy rolls her eyes, smiling, and then she kisses Willow. “That clear enough for you?” she says when she pulls back.
“Eep,” says Willow. Then she kisses Buffy back.

theforestlesbian replied to your post “has anyone written a thinkpiece about like…how many “socially awkward”...”
Totally agree. A study would be complicated, because I feel like if it was a survey about yourself ("On a scale of 1-5 how socially awkward would you say you are?") women would probably be more likely to /think/ they're socially awkward, because women tend to be more self critical. Maybe a survey of how awkward you think your peers are? Of course then people might feel mean calling their peers awkward
honestly i mostly do survey type research myself but this seems like the type of topic that might be better studied in an experimental setting (also because it might show how this affects women’s prospects in academia). like a mock job talk with levels of trained “awkwardness”. that could be difficult to control everything though so maybe just vignettes about possible hires? like presumably a vignette about an awkward but accomplished male prospect would get more perceptions of “absent-minded scientist” or “misunderstood genius” and then for women it would be “she’s green and needs to work more on people skills” or what have you

I don’t have a totally complete (I was gonna say firm but that’s just…the worst pun) grasp on BDE but I’m pretty sure Phantom Dennis has it
oh my god how could i be so blind. you're right. phantom dennis is one of few big dick energy possessors in the buffyverse. illyria might be too.

what if we're just here because we're gay does that count as the butt people
Right, there should be a “I’m very gay” type.
(I’m also that category)

theforestlesbian replied to your post: what do you hate about unreal and kimmy? i’m...
Kimmy Schmit has a whole plotline where the punchline is “college kids…care about consent” Tina seems to think whole show is about violence against women and why it’s bad and yet?
oh yeah i forgot that tina is unnervingly obsessed with ridiculing people who take stands against harassment and rape. this also happened on Great News.

theforestlesbian replied to your post “a cute thought: Adora (optionally ft. the rest of the best friends...”
meanwhile Connie is just following Adora around because she's this big strong cool hero girl with a big sword and Connie wants to be Just Like Her
no no, Connie’s been training with Pearl for years, she has a heart attack at Adora’s form and immediately teaches her proper sword stances

It's not a chapter but now I just reread that old Buffy coming out fic, can you do directors commentary for that?
sure thing !!!!!!
Willow did a way better job of coming out, Buffy thinks. Willow came in and stumbled through a shy, half-terrified explanation of what was new in her life, and she cried a lot at the end but at least she was direct. Buffy has been sitting on Giles’s couch for ten minutes, completely silent, just kind of hoping that Giles will somehow magically guess what she wants to tell him.
i remember i wrote once that buffy and giles’s relationship relies a lot on what they don’t say to each other? and i feel like that would sorta translate into her wanting to tell him big life news. a lot of the time giles probably just guesses what’s up with her (because he’s her dad) and buffy relies on that a little too much sometimes because it’s scary to be totally emotionally open, esp. when you haven’t directly stated how much you value a person.
Giles, of course, is freaking out, because Buffy’s pretty sure that he’s never seen her be this quiet for this amount of time unless someone’s died horribly or something. But he’s too British to admit that he’s freaking out, so in the ten minutes that Buffy’s been sitting on his couch he’s started aggressively stress-cooking, clattering around the kitchen with the radio on.
“Everything all right in there?” Giles calls from the kitchen, his voice an octave higher than usual.
“Uh huh,” Buffy manages, and slumps back into the couch.
a continuation of weird non-communicaty vibes! these two are such a mess but i really love them.
She’s really glad that no one else is here. Giles is the first person she wants to tell, because she’s not sure how completely-gay Willow is going to react. Willow’s exclusively into girls…as is Giles, actually, oh my god why did Buffy think this would be a good idea he’s going to think she’s weird and does he even know that bisexuality is a thing? He’s so old and so British and Buffy’s freaking out—
poor baby :((( buffy has this tendency to isolate herself and disconnect a little when she’s going through something really big, and i feel like a lot of that is because she feels things so deeply and strongly!! those feelings become less prevalent as time goes on (probably some kind of a defense mechanism because of how many times she’s been hurt when people she loves leave) but i’m of the mind that they never completely go away.
Giles comes back into the living room and sits down next to Buffy. “There’s something in the oven,” he says vaguely. “It’s dinner, I think. I haven’t been paying much attention.”
You idiot, Buffy thinks to herself, you broke Giles. Great job. Desperate for some semblance of comfort, she makes a strangled noise and moves forward, hiding her face in Giles’s shoulder.
and again we have non-communicaty attempts to be comforted.
Giles stiffens. Buffy figures for a second that she’s maybe made things even worse then they already are. But then he reaches over and places an arm around her shoulder, tugging Buffy into a clumsy hug. “I-I don’t completely know what’s bothering you,” he says awkwardly, “but—I’ll do what I can to fix it, all right?”
“That’s not—” Buffy sniffles, hugging Giles as tightly as she can. He makes a strangled noise and she remembers, belatedly, her Slayer strength. “Sorry.”
“Quite all right,” Giles wheezes.
ahhhhhhh this is my FAVORITE canonical detail that i HAD to slip in here: afaik giles is the only person who buffy lets herself forget her slayer strength around. it’s such a small thing but i think it’s really representative of the fact that she sees him as a father figure?? because she wants him to hold her and take care of her in the way that a parent would, and a parent is always strong enough to hold you. which is of course why giles never ever complains about slayer strength hugs–he wants to be there for buffy.
And maybe it’s that that makes Buffy say what she does, then, because if Giles is still hugging her after she nearly broke his ribs, maybe he won’t stop hugging her if she comes out to him now, right? So she says, “Giles, I like girls.”
“Really,” says Giles, and then he smiles with some relief and hugs Buffy significantly less awkwardly. “Good lord, Buffy, didn’t we already go through this with Willow?”
“And boys,” says Buffy, looking up at him and feeling somewhat injured at his presumption. “Like, you know, in a bi-type way.”
Giles’s smile fades a little. There’s a terrifying moment where his expression is unclear, and then he says, “I’m going to tell you something that I trust you will keep in complete confidence.”
Confused, Buffy says, “Okay.”
i’m sure i’ve brought this up before, but the only context in which giles ever brings up his past or his romantic relationships is when he thinks it can help impart a lesson on or even comfort his younger charges (i.e. when, after seeing buffy looking into dreams about angel, he mentions that he had vivid dreams about being able to save jenny). so i feel like it would make a LOT of sense for his immediate reaction to buffy’s coming out to be “ok, i know this, i can help with this” and then come out to her himself. he’s all about support through knowledge.
Giles winces, pulling back a bit. “Um,” he says. “Well. The thing is. Ethan and I.”
Buffy maybe didn’t get the best grades in algebra, but she still knows how to put two and two together. She feels all the apprehension and sadness dissipate, replaced by sheer incredulity. “You and Ethan,” she says. “But—you and Ethan, do you mean—”
“Romantically.” Giles looks very embarrassed. “Yes. What, what I’m trying to say is that—I might understand your circumstances significantly more than I do Willow’s.”
Buffy looks at Giles and then she just hugs him really hard. Screw Slayer strength.
i don’t have a smart comment here they’re just an incredible bi father-daughter duo and i love them

theforestlesbian replied to your post “theforestlesbian replied to your post “theforestlesbian replied to...”
Fred and Gunn are the only meme literate people in the group (Wesley and Angel have like zero online presences and Cordelia thinks she's too cool for that) so they quietly laugh at Angel about it for at least a week before telling him why
Angel, as vain as he is, spends that week worrying about his hair
(at least in the meme, his hair looks good. he’s surprisingly okay with this.)

10) do you have a creed? Uhh idk, do my best? something like that. something like “do unto others” but without the heavy religious implications.
22) list the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.
1 - working
2 - sleeping
3 - futzing around on the internet or my phone
4 - writing or reading
5 - making plans
25) could you live as a hermit? I could, but I’d get lonely. Can i have a hermit buddy?

Cordelia for the ask meme?
thanks!!
do I like them: I love cordy with all my heart
5 good qualities: she’s brave, helps people, would do anything for her friends, has a lot of funny lines, and a killer smile!!
3 bad qualities: well she was very mean in hs and there are some things she said to the scoobies that were out of line. that’s all I can think of because later on she grows so much.
favourite episode/etc: from btvs ‘out of mind, out of sight’ and from ats I love ‘birthday’
otp: angel/cordelia!!!! always and forever
brotp: cordelia/wesley
ot3: angel/cordelia/darla because imagine them co-parenting connor. also angel/cordelia/wesley, wesley/cordelia/gunn… and I’m gonna stop now lol
notp: nothing really… I can’t say connor because that wasn’t actually her
best quote: “demonize me already”
head canon: that she’s alive and well *cries*
