A couple more Buffy things...

[elisi]

First of all, then a vid which isn't online anymore:

Memories by Sadique. (Her website is gone, so I uploaded it myself.) It is Buffy's speech in 'Prophecy Girl' set to the theme from The Gift and uses images from all seven seasons. Utterly, utterly gorgeous - this is my Buffy, both show and girl.

(NOTE: It's in .rm format, which you can convert here to a format that is better for you, if you don't have a Real Media player.)


Also SMG's post on Instagram


And then this article:

(It saves the best for last...)

>>Real Media player.

Does that even exist anymore? I haven't used it since like 2004.

[elisi]

I've no idea. It certainly won't play on anything I have, which is why I included the converter link...

I love that vid. But yes, no way to point to it anywhere, which is a shame.

[elisi]

I keep reposting it every couple of years. Hopefully it'll eventually reach everyone in fandom. <3

Thanks for those. :D

[elisi]

I'm sure I nabbed one of them from you... :)

I hadn't seen that vid before. :)

[elisi]

Really?

It's one of the classics from way back... I'm still impossibly grateful to my past self for downloading it, or it'd have been lost (I mean, I presume others downloaded it too, but it's not online). But it's so perfect.

Watching that Previously on your LJ reminded me of it. :)

Thank you for these links :)

[elisi]

My pleasure! <3

That vid is lovely. Many thanks for saving it. Having all the Buffy feelings tonight :)

You are not alone... ♥

The video is gorgeous, and such a lovely reminder of how extraordinary SMG is in the role, as well as a wonderful tribute to the show. The fact that it's 7MB is a whole nostalgia trip in itself - who knew that years hence, people would be happily uploading and watching great gigabytes of video!

I love the article, especially the last entry. :) So true that it's all the talking they do that makes the Spike/Buffy love story so engaging. And this: I want to see characters tear each other open too see if their hearts beat in time.

Just her voice, and the way it breaks...

I KNOW!! I converted it, and it took... a minute? I still have several of the old vids and they're so TINY.

I love the article, especially the last entry. :)
There have been lots of articles, but that one really resonated.

I'm still pointing people towards your meta, and the difference between face-to-face and side-by-side. <3

Just perfectly put. <3

Sorry I've been so slow to reply, life got busy and my internet misbehaved.

Wait, bother, I do intend to watch s1 of Buffy this year, I can't watch that until I've heard the quote in context or it'll sound weird.

Hmm. Motivation!

[elisi]

S1 of Buffy is adorbz. Everyone is wee and cute, and although some of the episodes are, um, showing their age shall we say, the finale is still one of the best! ♥
