It was 18 years ago today...

[elisi]

That Welcome to the Hellmouth aired.

Via gillo, from The Metro:

18 reasons Buffy The Vampire Slayer was the best show on TV. ♥

It's safe to say that without Buffy, I wouldn't be here. Wouldn't know all you wonderful people. Wouldn't have discovered fandom and meta and fic and all the wonders and joys that have lit up my life since 2004.

Thank you Buffy.

Wow...18 years?! Really?!

*Is old*

O_o

Seems like it was just on, for heavens sake!

*HUGS*

[elisi]

Oh!! Oh no, I didn't mean it like that! *Facepalm* sorry, sorry. Just was rather shocked that's all...

Saw you addendum, btw...made me wanna squish you with joy! Thank goodness for fandom, fandom love - and the awesome places and people it leads us to!

*HUGS*

[elisi]

LOL

No worries, I just couldn't believe that number either. ;)

I can't believe it's been 18 years! I've been feeling nostalgic all day today and have been looking back at some of my old posts from years ago. I still miss my show!

[elisi]

I was literally just reading your post!

And yes, how can it all be so long ago? It seems impossible.

Wow - 18 years...

I still miss Buffy...

[elisi]

Me too!

Is it really 18 years? That's half my life. It will always be the most precious of fandoms to me, for all the wonderful times and the lovely friends it's brought me. Thank you, show!

[elisi]

I didn't find it immediately - and didn't find fandom (you specifically) until 2004 - but oh, it'll always be precious for all those reasons. ♥

(This was my first ever icon that I ever uploaded.)

Amen, sister.

Buffy 4eva! <3

That long? It's really scary to think about it in those terms.

But, yeah, wouldn't trade it for the world. :)

[elisi]

We are now older and wiser. *nods sagely*

And can tell all the teeny boppers on Tumblr to get off our lawn! ;)

MY WHOLE LIFE I'VE NEVER LOVED ANYTHING ELSE

Wow, it's been that long?

It was a great show. I disagree with some of the things the writer singles out as highlights of the series, but hey, we all have our opinions. ; )

Whenever I'm in a 90s-nostalgic mood, my mind always drifts back to Buffy (and Xena).

[elisi]

Well, if it didn't generate opinions, it'd have been forgotten long ago... ♥

[eaweek.livejournal.com]

So true! The last thing any TV show wants to inspire is indifference. : )

[elisi]

Oh, that was never a danger for Buffy! ;)

Yay for Buffy, then! ^_^

Awwww. ♥
