So...

[elisi]

I am bored. I'm *trying* to do housework, but the Cherub has attached herself to me in manner of tentacled limpet, which makes things difficult.

So - for anyone else who might be bored: What three words would you use to describe the Doctor?

(Or the Master or Jack or Buffy or Angel or whoever. It all began because of the new banner and thinking about the Seeker, whom I'd describe as 'Curious, pragmatic and self-sufficient'.)

Oh, very nice. Yes, I like those.

Chit, I erased it by accident.
Doctor: changing, whirling, Lost (as in the Tardis all the time)

Jack: Lover, Phoenix, Justice. Not the best, but all I can come up with. I always though Phoenix would make a perfect symbol for a time lord.

Chit, I erased it by accident.
I wondered what had happened. :)

And I like all your words very much - especially Phoenix!

Spike: Fool or Knight, Devoted, Snarky
Angel: Father, King, Broody
Buffy: Queen, loner, Saver

Edit: I see Angel, Buffy and Spike as a trinity. With Acourse Angel and Buffy being the King and Queen. And Spike being the Knight or Foolish Knight which isn't always a bad thing in fairytales, most actually end up well. With Buffy and Angel loving and againtist each other, and Spike the messenger/second of their's end between. You can also see Buffy as Light, Angel as Darkness, and Spike as Shadow. The Third power, might not be as powerful, but is the balance and the weight that decides which comes first. Spike first pushed Buffy up in her fight, then he went to Angel to fight with him. Know though after what has happened in the comics, with us knowing Spike loves Angel who would he choose to support ? Because if it came to war between Buffy and Angel, who's second would be ? I could see them actually fighting over this, and just not sexually. I had an idea where the power of the world ends up divided purified through Angel's and Buffy's gang. With the most powerful Light and Darkness going into Angel and Buffy. Know I am not talking evil or good, but just those powers. Their is good in darkness, as their is evil in the light. With Spike being the third power, Shadow. Neither light nor dark, but helps to define the others. Spike being Spike decides to go againist the norm, and refuse the power. Either he is dying or something. Buffy in a panics, forces the power on him. Just as she was taken from Heaven, Buffy takes Spike away from oblivion, or his actual goal of a an ending. She panics, so in a sense she ends up doing what was done to her, and ends up in Willow's position thinking the worse and trying to save Spike when in fact she isn't.
That breaks Spike up from Buffy, and he turns to Angel's side. Allowing the darkness not evil or good to remain in the world, that those who don't fit in the light or have commited sin to have a second chance.

I like your thoughts a lot, and 'the fool' is also often the truth teller, which is *exactly* Spike.

As for the light/dark/shadow, then I might use the word 'twilight' instead (stripped of all unfortunate connotations!) - that is, the place where darkness and light, or day and night, meet.

I wish I had something more profound to offer, but it's getting late here. Thank you so much for your comment though, you made me think!

Oh yes Twilight, that is good something I haven't thought off. With Dawn being his opposite. I also thought of Buffy being Life, Angel being Death, and Spike being Rebirth. Something that always changes, and evolving. I do get the ideas but making them into stories. I can't seem to get right. Though I did have one idea, with the idea of Buffy, Angel and Spike having reached godhood, and given a few thousand years that humans do worship are protected by them. That an idea they came up of calling Spike, Angel's Shield-mate, Concubine, or Queen would p*ss Spike off.Though Angel would be laughing inside along with Buffy.(The concubine idea could also apply to Spike being Buffy's as well.)

[elisi]

Hee! Concubine! *g*

Oh yes Twilight, that is good something I haven't thought off.
I got the idea off the_royal_anna, and it's one I've always loved.

With Dawn being his opposite.
Oooh, now that's neat! And I like the re-birth (changing, evolving) idea too.

And turning very poetic, meta-heavy ideas into stories is a total pain - either something gets lost, or the story won't work... (unless you're Kita, but very, very few people can write like that.)

Ah yes, I have read her story Manus. I will to check out the other ones. I think someone else has already had a story where Spike is caled a Concubine as a insult by the First. And's not even getting in the dark sexual Spike fic.
I had the idea of the greek God Zeus, and his cupbearer Ganymede who basically his catamite. The idea of seeing Angel and Spike's relationship that way and be worhiped as such would have really made Spike mad. Or if you go with alot of pagan religions with Angel being the seat of Zeus, giving him a harem of wives. With Darla being the first, Dru the second, and Spike being the third queen(also an insult), Buffy his top or fourth queen, with Cordy just being Queen C or his last one. And in reality in a few thousand years the one he is most with, other than with Spike which Cordy tolerates over Darla. Dru is caged and making up what she did in life, and working her way towards sanity. For Dru, after a few thousand years I see her and Dawn having a secret affair. Not known to many except for maybe Spike and Tara. With Dawn having finally forgiving Spike and her being the only Scobbie other than Tara who will talk to Spike. Or the only ones he will see at all of the Scobies.

I hope you find a way of turning all this into a proper story, because it would be fascinating.

*is impressed*

Yes getting onto paper, and actually it making sense to anyone but me is the problem. I really started with this idea when reading Rahirah, and Sockpuppet's story of Spike nad Fred being together. And how the two Spike's would react. One souled and having been (burned by Buffy) and then finding happiness/understanding with Fred. Then you would have Rahirah's Spike unsouled, and demonically happy with Buffy. I would love to add a third where Spike is with Angel and/or Buffy as well. Possibily your story. And how my power/god Spike having a few thousand years under his belt would react. Oh and Rahirah's would hate each other. Sockpuppet's Spike I think GodSpike would approve off, and be amused at the thought of he and Fred being together. Yours as a threesome would be make him quite uneasy, since in a way screwed up way is what he experinces in his world.

I love the idea of taking different Spikes and putting them together - really hope you'll be able to pull it off one day!

Ooooh! (King, Queen, Knight - that's gorgeous!)
