About Spike...

Re. the whole Twilight reveal, and Spike's role...

Bascially I'm hoping they keep him a million miles away from s8. He's got his own series, right? Let him mess around there. Let him marry Beck, or Spider, or Betta George, or something.

(How much would I love for someone to say: "Don't you dare phone him, he's on his honeymoon!" *deep sigh*)

Seriously - don't involve him in the trainwreck. Not that I'm going to be reading, but I was fond of that blond guy once upon a time, y'know? He deserves better than to be destroyed by the s8pocalypse.

(Christ Ryall put up this cover which is amusing me a lot, though.)

You know, some of us feel that about Angel too.

Of course, the part of me who is trying to come up with plausible reason with why he is ruining my Woobie, keeps thinking that if the Slayers came after Conner and Spike (because even Betta George ships them)that would give Angel motivation.

Somehow I get the feeling that its going to turn into Season 2 redux, at which point I will be wishing for Spike to appear because at least he would be willing to stake Angel and put us all out of our misery. You know it's bad when I hope someone offs my Woobie.

Yeah, that's the only plausible motivation... which means it's out of the question!
Yes, but dammit I am too invested in his character to deal with half-arsed explanations.

Bah, I'm going to go back to debating my multi-cross crackfic idea in which Jack recruits Angel and other immortal beings for the newest incarnation of Torchwood, because he's tired of his humans dying.

Also, look over there, it's the TARDIS! *feeds bunnies for a certain crack!fic 'verse carrots* I mean, I love your icon.

Very much with you on the Angel side :(, Spike's my favorite but Angel comes very high on my list, and to wreck his story just for cheap shock effect and some bangeling in S8 doesn't sit well with me.

THIS! Hell, I still enjoy some B/A now and then, but within the confines of actual cannon, that ship has sailed, sank and is now hosting it's own reef. Let's not disturb the wild life by trying to bring it back to the surface.

THIS. I had the same thought. I am in fear now that Connor and/or Spike are dead, and I don't want them dead. Even in pretend!canon!

And Angel fighting Buffy because someone killed Spike? Oh, that would make my shippy heart happy

Mine, too. But of course, Joss would never write that. Though he might possibly write Angel fighting Buffy because a slayer killed Connor, but the idea of Connor dead just makes me sad. I liked Angel's happy ending, dammit! Why can't they leave my woobies alone?

If you posted those fics over the holidays, then I probably did not see them. I shall check them out!

But that would mean Buffy having to acknowledge that Connor exists and I don't know that Joss has the balls to do that.

I will admit that I'm torn, since I don't want them even pretend!dead either, but I don't want Angel's complete character assassination either.

Poor Angel.

I was hoping he'd be clear of this mess too. But then Joss did this ::headdesk::
