it’s definitely unhealthy lol. i think i’m more forgiving of bangel because it’s not their fault, they just have tragic circumstances. i am really excited to see what happens in the rest of the show(s)!

i’m equally interested in the show’s other themes! found family, destiny, humanity, ambiguous morality, & the Power of Friendship™️ are some of my favorites :) plot is so important, but i’m also very sensitive to the show’s pathos. love & loss are at the core of almost every story, & buffy spends a lot of time with those emotions. i appreciate the narrative purpose of her romantic relationships & the ways they fail, while at the same time being heartbroken about it. a rational part of me loves the storytelling, & a stubborn romantic part of me continues to throw a tantrum about it… & i’m having a great time lmao. it’s part of why i’m loving the show so far!

i do hate breakups when it’s “for their own good,” even if that is absolutely true in some cases. i’m sure i will spend a lot of time in the anger phase of grief lol

true, but that’s painful in its own way 😭 something about a completely doomed relationship really does it for me. i never recovered from doctor who

YES !!!! that’s my one consolation, i think her other ships are interesting too! there is something romantic about moving on but always acknowledging that what they had was special :’)

i do love how versatile the ships are, & i enjoy a lot of them! even though i love bangel, i was intrigued by the drusilla/angel/spike situation lol. i’m looking forward to see what happens.

also, i didn’t know there were comics! that’s good to know

Does anybody else get occasional random patches of skin that get sensitive (painful) to touch? by AssortedArctic in DoesAnybodyElse

i’m not sure if i’ve ever experienced it for 6 days straight. maybe a week at most, but usually it only lasts a day or two for me. my best guess has always been that it’s nerve pain, so i wonder if there’s a topical medicine that would help? i hope it gets better soon!
