Sometimes I shouldn't say words.

This is just to say I finally finished watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

OH MY HEART.

It is kind of insane how much of my free time has been devoted to this damn show over the past three months. I kind of can't handle it being done.

...yes, there's still another season of Angel to go, now with 100% more Spike and less Connor/Cordy BLECHness, but seriously, my heart belongs to Buffy. And Willow and Xander and Giles and Anya and SPIKE and Dawn and Faith and Tara and Oz and Andrew and Jonathan and Joyce and, fuck, even Rhona and Vi and Kennedy and Robin and JUST EVERYONE OKAY, THERE IS NO ONE I DO NOT LOVE ON THIS SHOW, MAKE IT NOT BE OVER NOW.

My fandom reaction, it is like eight years too late, let me show it to you anyway.

I had a reaction just like this a few years ago, when I came to the same party late! *high fives* I still do, every time I re-watch the series. It never gets old, and oh, I love everybody, too.

After watching the finale, Anya's "Will I look good when I've gotten old?" line from her song in Once More, With Feeling kills me every. single. time. (I mean, with the wedding fiasco, the entire Xander/Anya duet becomes heartbreaking, but that one line. Oh my heart, just thinking about it! And she's not even my favorite character!)

For all a bunch of people apparently hate seasons six and especially seven, six is one of my favorites, and I think the final season has some awesome episodes. The moment where Buffy and Spike spend the night together at the end? ZOMG.

Also!

MAKE IT NOT BE OVER NOW.

The first several issues of the Season Eight comics (all I've read so far) are incredibly true to the tone of the show.

*hug* I feel your pain about coming to the end of BtVS. Your reaction may be years late, but it's still very justified. This show grabs hearts and just doesn't let go.

THE END IS SO HARD TO COME TO!

You do still have the Season 8 comics, but YMMV on whether or not you like them. Some people love them, others are full of loathing. I haven't been able to get my hands on any but the first couple yet.

Hi - I just got linked to you by Elisi, who rec'ed your awesome Girl Who Falls Down Stairs vid which was just delicious. And I friended you. On LJ and here, because, you know, why not?

Seriously, I get it - I just finished Buffy in, oh, November of last year. And I feel like I keep telling everyone how great it is and they are either like, 'duh, obviously' or they say 'buffythewhatsits? absolutely not.' And I still miss the show. (Thank heavens for fandom, right?)

Hello! Lovely to make your acquaintance. :D

And I feel like I keep telling everyone how great it is and they are either like, 'duh, obviously' or they say 'buffythewhatsits? absolutely not.'
SERIOUSLY. And half of the fics are archived on defunct websites, also. *facepalm*
