GIP!

[livejournal.com profile] beer_good_foamy and I are having a lovely talk over on [livejournal.com profile] owenthurman's LJ, but I just had to share his awesome new icon:



Willow? Is thorough. Bullet. Flaying. Fire. How *exactly* was he supposed to survive that? Small (or not so small) piles of ash can't be re-animated. Skinless wonders who had a bullet tear through them ditto:

WILLOW: It's not going to make a neat little hole. First, it'll obliterate your internal organs. Your lung will collapse. Feels like drowning. [...] When it finally hits your spine, it'll blow your central nervous system. [...] The pain will be unbearable, but you won't be able to move. Bullet usually travels faster than this, of course. But the dying? It'll seem like it takes forever.

You know - this all makes me very happy. The comics have proven themselves to be AU, no matter what Joss says. This is neat. Discussion over. Now please bring on Faith. :)

me too.
I want to see a little more effort. this whole thing looks like they don't even really try. *pouts*
the Faith cover looks promising though. but we'll see ;)

Ah, the Willow/Warren flaying scene and that speech you quoted is the one moment i actually bought Dark!Willow and felt that AH sold it without making me giggle at her using her "mean voice". Just such an awesome scene. Joss could never steal that away :P

miss ali! how nice to stumble across you here *g*

and yup. AH was actually a little scary in that scene. I have to give this to her. even the guy I was watching this episode with (one of my best friends) was shocked of what had become of his sweet little innocent Willow (his words not mine *g*)
I happily told him, he has to face it. she ended as a bad, veiny, lesbian witch who wanted to destroy the world. he only glared at me.
I'm always glad to state the obvious :)

Nods. And that icon is cracking me up.

Love your icons! Blunt, accurate, to the point. ::shakes head at Joss Lucas:: Tsk, tsk ... ;)

OMG that icon!!!! OMG!!!!

... I have *not* been paying any attention to the comic series (other than reading yours and others' opinions on it) because IMO from the beginning Joss has just been fanficcing his own story, playing with AU, etc. Nice to have that confirmed. I was taken aback to hear that Warren is supposedly alive. NOT. NO WAY. COULD NOT HAPPEN. So as you say, it's right out there now ... this is obviously AU no matter what Joss says.

And that does make the comix much more fun and less stressful. W00t! I may even take the trouble to read 'em now. ;D
