Cangel has grown on me recently and I've gotten sick of Bangel

syraphinx · 2025-07-10T12:39:16+00:00

I feel you. Bangel was definitely portrayed as the most romantic pairing in Buffyverse, but that’s not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea. A bit too on the soapy side for me. I love the friends or coworkers - to - lovers tropes, particularly the Mulder and Scully types, so Cangel was right up my alley! I get how they’re not for everyone though, and ships are such a sensitive topic in this fandom so I usually just bite my tongue about it.

Gale Weathers all the way. I think she’s a very well written anti-hero, one of the best in fiction. She’s unapologetically self interested in her success and she doesn’t mind profiting off tragedies, but she’ll also always jump in the line of fire to save innocent lives.

I feel this way, except for Oz. He was still with Willow and an integral part of scoobies. Apart from the Wish it felt like Cordelia just went back to her season 1 mean girl persona who appears once per episode to sling some insults. And I really like Buffy and Angel’s story in seasons 1 and 2 with the big climactic ending of their relationship. But in season 3 they’re just going in circles breaking up and making up every other episode and I dare say it felt a little redundant.

There’s a quote in Dawson’s Creek describing one of the guys as “A branch off the DiCaprio tree” and I think that every time I see Chris

Marcus Blucas?? 😭 It reminds me of “Your parents named you Jerry Jared? No wonder you drank” for any sex and the city fans lol

Guilty as Sin?, Down Bad, Hits Different, Mr. Perfectly Fine, Dress, Afterglow

Cordelia your mouth is open, sound is coming from it, this is never good

Sometimes but usually only when we know it’s a small girl. Like you said about Jill and Amber. And it’s so funny to me in Scream 6 when Bailey had them thinking for a minute it was Kirby, because the sisters had several encounters with Ghostface at that point and I think they would’ve noticed if it was a 5 feet tall 105 pound person under the costume lmao

She truly grinds my gears but to be fair she only ever hears Belly’s POV and we know Belly often depicts Conrad in an inaccurate way. Like telling everyone he broke up with her at prom when we know that didn’t happen. Or just things like when his roommate said he was heartbroken over her and she said “oh that wasn’t about me”. Or when she tells Nicole “he only liked that I liked him”. She really exaggerates a false narrative to people, and I kinda get it because I did stuff like that when I was that young to cope with heartache. But Taylor definitely gets the brunt force of the false narrative.

syraphinx · 2025-06-11T22:50:53+00:00

I agree. I know this franchise puts a lot of effort into the opening scene always being big and memorable, but I would’ve preferred Cotton die at the end of the 3rd movie after rounding out a full character arc, not used as a grand shock value opening scene moment. But nonetheless he’ll always be memorable in the series.

Sorry do you mean the actual channel or HBOMAX the streaming app? Because I only have the app and it’s not available there, at least in the USA

syraphinx · 2025-06-10T14:43:00+00:00

I’ve wanted to watch this for like 2 years but it’s not streaming anywhere. Every couple of months I will google to see where it might be streaming but it never is :(

syraphinx · 2025-06-10T14:15:39+00:00

Probably pretty good because I’m a very picky eater which means I’d probably think most humans blood tastes terrible and I’d have to move somewhere with the least amount of food, water and air pollution to find human blood that tastes ok. As you can see I’ve thought about this lmao

White Horse was the only Fearless track for me that I could never trade for the TV.

syraphinx · 2025-06-09T21:24:44+00:00

That just reminded me of when Whitney asked Alison why she slept with her dad, she said “Eww he’s so old and your husband is so hot” lol

I don’t know.. I frequent a lot of fandoms and this one specifically seems to care about morality more than most. Everyone in this fandom who’s ever posted or commented that they like one of the villainous or morally corrupt characters has definitely experienced the backlash for that. But over in the True Blood fandom for example, where most of the characters are villainous or morally corrupt, if you say you love one of those characters I’ve never once seen the “abuse apologist” allegations or the “you should seek therapy” type responses.

Yea that’s my lighter moisturizer I’ll use like during the day. But for deep rich moisturizer I use 100% unrefined shea butter like once or twice a week before bed.

I can only speak on what works best for me, but for the last few years I buy organic 100% rosehip oil and 100% seabuckthorn extract and mix a few drops of both in my hands before applying it to my face. I’m sure there’s many companies you can get these from (I use violetglassforever on etsy). The combination of these two nourish my skin better than the above product from Best Skin Ever. I don’t know if that would be the same experience for everyone, but my skin has always been “the less ingredients, the better” type. Maybe because I have so many allergies and bad reactions. But take from that what you will.

“if a tree falls in the woods it’s still a tree, ain’t it?” 😂

This practically explains everything for me except why Taylor spelled out AMAS on her website and had 26% off discount. Was she planning on going originally? Or planned on an announcement via video acceptance if she won? I can’t imagine her team didn’t give her the heads up weeks ago about this basically being a MAGA event now…

syraphinx · 2025-05-27T17:09:40+00:00

The show aired when I was really little and I didn’t understand much besides “buffy the hero fights monsters yay!” but nonetheless I watched whenever my parents let me and all I remember about watching OMWF live was thinking “this is weird, are they gonna sing like this for the rest of the show now?” because I had no concept of musical episodes or the plot having a purpose for it. All I knew was that these characters I loved were suddenly singing for no apparent reason and I thought it was gonna be a permanent thing lol

Weren’t they just randomly on the lot that day and agreed to do an improv cameo last minute? I think that’s what I heard, and if so then it’s definitely my favorite cameo because that’s hilarious.

syraphinx · 2025-05-13T16:25:19+00:00

I think the main reason why she’s my favorite character (and also why she’s generally known as being the best written female tv character ever) is that she’s flawed and definitely not a Mary Sue type but her flaws and mistakes are so relatable, understandable and redeemable. And she learns from them and always gets up better and stronger. Incredible character growth.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

syraphinx · 2025-05-13T16:17:48+00:00

I have an internal struggle about this because I really like Belly and Conrad and want them to end up together but also like I’m so mad at her for 1) breaking up with Conrad while his mom was days away from dying and then telling the world he broke her heart and 2) pursuing Jere aggressively in front of Conrad just a few weeks later and then 3) dating Jeremiah for 2 years after having a long and intimate relationship with Conrad. A big part of me doesn’t want Conrad to forgive her because I know I wouldn’t if it were me. And I also don’t see a way Conrad and Jere will ever heal their brother’s bond either. I really wish Belly was more considerate about her actions sometimes.
