Ramblings after midnight.
Feb. 27th, 2005 03:26 amWhen watching old episodes of Buffy, one should probably not mock them for their obvious allegory properties. Sadly, by the third season, I am personally TIRED of the "High school is Hell which equals life. And Life is Hell." message that keeps getting slammed into peoples' faces.
To top it off, I personally thought Buffy taking off to LA was healthy. Far healthier than staying around for her friends' fake sympathy after she'd killed th man she loved to save the world.
Re-watching 'Anne', one is supposed to believe that, for the THIRD TIME, Buffy needs to reaffirm herself as the Slayer. That she has 'been running' and 'afraid' of her Destiny... Yeah. Not like she hasn't been grieving for the man (vampire, whatever) she killed. Y'know, grieving? Perfectly normal process of the human psyche? That thing they tell you you're supposed to do when people die?
Arrr.
I think part of it was watching the end of 'Becoming', and realizing that the show could have ended there... and I would have been perfectly happy. And also remembering that I was planning to bring Angel back in The Slayer, the Cat and Some Wisdom, BEFORE season three ever began playing. And as this was in the age before rampant spoilers, I had no idea they were going to bring him back in... well, no the exact way I did. I used the Hellmouth and had him stuck there in a freaky dimensional rift way. And Kitty jumped in and phased him out....
Sigh. I should finish that stupid fic.
I should also finish the Cordelia stuck in Faith's body fic.
Actually, I should finish a lot of fic. And do the dishes tomorrow.
Hrm. I was going to ramble abount femslash, too. *goes to find notes*
Femslash.
Some people hate that term. Personally, at this point, I like being able to differentiate. Because boyslash is two men having sex. And femslash is two women having sex.
Why write femslash? It's fun, it's amusing, it's hot. Women have just as many problems as men and women and men and men. Exploring those isn't always what it's about -- mostly, it's just about the sex.
Does this make you a lesbian? Probably not. Ask me again when I've had a little more practical experience and a little less theoretical.
Two women having sex is sexist! Er. It is? I was under the impression that boyslash, which is all about the penis, was much more sexist, since you rarely see women represented in the stories in any decent light. Actually, I've always thought femslash was a great tribute to women.
Seriously. I find it hot. I find it erotic. I find it slightly easier to write, because I have the correct genitalia, and don't have to mess around with a penis.
Femslash is just imagining yourself having sex with one of the characters. Yup. But at least it's less pathetic than thinking I'm a man having sex with another man.
And, random silly links to old entries...
