Re. that image from issue 3? [points to icon] I feel *SO* vindicated. Buffy would absolutely go for a threesome! ::throws OTPs out of window and installs OT3 permanently::

(I've also been laughing very, very hard. Seriously - I'm going to be bursting into uncontrollable giggles at the most inappropriate moments for days now, I'm sure... It really is most inconvenient. *g* Still doesn't make this story *canon OMG*, but it sure is fun!)

ETA: st_salieri made the icon and also wrote a teensy drabble. Heh.

(Parents went off for a long walk, in case you're wondering.)

It is a major bugbear with nurses world-wide, that their traditional uniform is regarded as the stuff of sexual fantasy - which is seen as part of the background to sexual assaults on nurses being common 'because we all know what nurses are like'.

Personally I cannot see 'being a nurse' as a Buffy fantasy at all - nor can I see 'Buffy as a nurse' being a fantasy for Spike or Angel either - so we conclude that the fantasy is either Joss's, or the artist's!

And of course there is this regular thing in artists minds that nurses have little red crosses on their hats - only if they are serving members of the Red Cross on Red Cross duty, dummy!

Now that I can understand, absolutely.

Hmm... that part is really not a problem for me. The entire panel is such a bunch of ridiculous clichés that one more does not bother me - and she had to wear something. Going with the rest of the imagery, a nurse's uniform would seem another standard thing grabbed from pop culture - like the cherubs and the trains etc.

There's also the thing that she *has* often nursed Spike and Angel [points to icon as example], so it wouldn't be a new role particularly - just a slant on a pre-existing situation.

Mostly the image makes me crease up in fits of giggles, and trying to take it seriously just doesn't work - sorry.
