Lockdown Update Day 334
So, first of all a vid from 2009 (yeah, Joss['s work] has been skeevy for a loooong time). Original LJ post here (go read the comments!)
For I have made her prison be
Her every step away from me
Thinking about this vid and what is says and how those themes are echoed throughout Joss' work, I found this post from 2010: Thoughts on Joss and why Buffy is special.
Buffy, of all of Joss's heroines, is the odd one out. Her strength is innate, she takes charge, and she wins.
But Joss's template is Drusilla: Gifted - but broken, controlled, and turned into a weapon/monster [by a man].
It really doesn't get any less disturbing. :(
I feel I should write more, cause meta is my thing, but... It's very depressing. As I say in the post, Buffy is the one who got away.
~~
Anyway, here's to Adam's Busch who's the latest Buffy alumni to lend his support:
This Twitter thread pulls together all the MT stuff <- I'd put a trigger warning on it. :(
I should probably post something newsworthy, but instead have this lovely thing.

I support Charisma, Sarah, Amber & Michelle. I admire their courage and leadership. The truth is powerful and it prevails.

Here’s an original, one-shot comic I made for fun! It’s called THIS IS SHE, it’s about a lonely, middle-aged lady who hits it off with a telemarketer lady and they fall in love. I hope you enjoy it! 💕 (Pages 4/40) pic.twitter.com/S1LKWyHUla

Haha, I know, how is that even a question? It's obviously Faith, it's always gonna be Faith. And I mean, Buffy did try to kill her, which is a prerequisite for any Buffy love interest. ;DD

THIS. (It's a prerequisite for any 'ship of mine...)
