Some good things & a bit of natter about s8.

First of all, today is a good day because this afternoon the new season of Horrible Histories starts! For those of you not in the UK/without children, this is a TV show based on the popular books, and it one of the best, funniest and most original things on TV, full stop. Since I couldn't decide which part to share with you, here is the very first thing I saw:

Watch on YouTube

Now go on and waste a few hours on youtube.... You won't regret it, trust me. (It's EDUCATIONAL!!!)

Since time is sadly not my friend I've not paid much attention to the remix, but here are a couple of recs:

I Would Keep Myself (Mirror Mirror Remix) by ruuger (notes here). They didn't win the battle, but life still has to go on. Post-Chosen AU. Bleak, yet uplifting, and explores things rarely seen.

Through the Wardrobe (The Three Worlds Remix) by joking. The wardrobe is a gateway to another world - and to memories we cannot bear to forget. Narnia/BtVS/Doctor Who crossover, and just works, beautifully so! (I happened to beta-read this one, which mostly involved me going 'Oh wow, this is good!)

'Bout s8. This is from a comment I made in simonf's LJ, using Riley's speech in AYW:

Me to Buffy: "You want me to say that I liked seeing you in bed with fucking in space with that idiot? Or that blinding orange is your very best color wearing revealing outfits half the time doesn't demean you? Or that that ... burger smell bankrobbing is appealing? Buffy, none of that means anything. It doesn't touch you. You're still the first woman I ever loved ... and the strongest woman I've ever known."

Because here's the thing. Quality lasts. Buffy was just voted 3rd greatest character of the last 20 years (behind Homer Simpson and Harry Potter!). BtVS is classic television, and Buffy is a household name. So, right now we've got these comics cluttering things up, but I truly believe that as time goes by they'll sink into obscurity just like the movie. (I kinda love the movie, I have to confess. It's dumb, but adorably so. The comics are just crap, and will thus die. *nods*)

And that's all for now. It's Bank Holiday Monday and we're going out...
