I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elisi]

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.)

I thought you already had *eg*

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

Hope they're having a good time. Mine are coming round this evening, but only for the evening!

[elisi]

I thought you already had *eg*
Well yes, but... what will I do about 'Divided Destiny' now? Poor Angel gets left out...

And yes, my parents are enjoying themselves v. much (the weather is nice, which of course helps!). Have a nice time with yours. :)

[kathyh]

Perhaps you should thing of it as jossing Joss *g*.

[elisi]

Heeee! And of course, Angel *has* a girlfriend already...

(Incidentally DD is all *stalled* - I'm hoping to work on it a little this afternoon. Well not stalled stalled, just chapters 4 and 5 are *bad* and need a lot of work. ::sigh::)

[shapinglight]

Heh! Of course, you already know that this picture has been cited as Joss's validation of the Bangel 'ship because Buffy's body is more inclined towards Angel?

As you know, I've already managed to put a Spangell-y slant on it too. And of course, there's also a Spuffy one - ie. that Buffy's hand on Spike's face is a reminder to him of the fiery handclasp and that she hasn't forgotten what she said to him in the Hellmouth.

There. Validation for all three 'ships in one picture - or possibly just a threesome sexual fantasy involving a naughty nurse costume, two naked vampires and a set of chains.

Heh!

[elisi]

You know - I think that might be it. Esp since it also has cherubs, tunnels, trains, flowers (are they lilies?) and stakes. OK, so naked vampires is never not hot, but mostly it just cracks me up. As Buffy says "Did I mention that I'm not crazy good at symbolism?"

Or - to quote Andrew: 'She loves both of them!'

Damn, I'm going to be chuckling *forever*!

[shapinglight]

Damn, I'm going to be chuckling *forever*!

You really can't do anything else.

:Shakes head at nuttiness of 'shippers:

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Hmm - way to go Joss if you want to upset nurses the world over!

[amavel-bel.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, I'm very very amused by this pic. So, Buffy has naughty dreams about those two. Smart girl *winks*. And I can't see the other vamps arm. Hmmmmmm, maybe they're groping each other bums as well, lol!!!

[elisi]

Smart girl *winks*.
Indeed! *is very happy*

And I can't see the other vamps arm. Hmmmmmm, maybe they're groping each other bums as well, lol!!!
Now there's a thought... (And also, you might like this! *g*)

[elisi]

*blinks* Now that was a line of thought I hadn't contemplated... Mostly I just go 'Pretty naked vampires!' 'OT3!' 'Squee!'

[elisi]

OT3 is the only sensible way to go... ::couldn't be more pleased::

[kathyh]

You always say that :) Take a deep breath, stay calm, think of pretty naked vampires (they may not be necessary for the fic but it never hurts to think of pretty naked vampires) and I'm sure inspiration will flow...

[amavel-bel.livejournal.com]

GAHHHHHHHHHHHH, it's so perfect!!! Thanks for the link!!!

*bounces*

[elisi]

Hee! Made by Sueworld I think. And your icon is very yummy...

[elisi]

You always say that :)
Ah, but you know that it's true! There's nothing wrong with the basic ideas (the ideas are rather neat), it's just all tell and not show. Might send you chapter 3 just to get some sort of validation, since that chapter is more or less OK. *kicks muse*

Take a deep breath, stay calm, think of pretty naked vampires
Tried that already and plenty of inspiration followed... and I ended up writing yet more snippets of the sequel to 'Cavemen'. *sigh* Although I have had a break through there, in that I've found something to *do* with the threesome - apart from the pretty and the sexy of course. ;)

[kathyh]

Might send you chapter 3 just to get some sort of validation, since that chapter is more or less OK.

Send away. I won't be able to look at it until tomorrow (shouldn't be doing this now really) but I'll be very happy to read it then.

[elisi]

I might - if I can find the time. *sigh* I think I'm getting feedback withdrawal! ;)

[herself_nyc]

Are people jumping on your for posting a spoilery image so soon?

[elisi]

Not so far... (*crosses fingers*) and the image is making its way around fandom with warp speed anyway. Also I think most people worked out that this was what Joss had in store! Besides it's not spoilery as *such* - it is quite simply a glimpse into Buffy's subconscious rather than any plot.

[adoxerella.livejournal.com]

Ahem...Squeeeee!!!! Dammit, hurry up and open comic shop so I can go and buy this comic. My OT3 glee knows no bounds. Hurray for vampire sandwiches!

And not to go digging for spoilers, but is there perhaps oil involved in this dream sequence?

[elisi]

My OT3 glee knows no bounds. Hurray for vampire sandwiches!
My feelings exactly! :)

is there perhaps oil involved in this dream sequence?
I think it's implied...*g* The whole image is the most fantastical thing I've ever seen - hysterically funny and yet hot too. Oddly people think that Joss is trying to wriggle out of the whole shipping thing - *I* think he's just sensible enough to see that S/B/A is the only logical solution to the problem!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

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.
