Today, February 25, rogue vampire slayer Faith Lehane awakens from the coma she has been in since graduation day of the 1999 senior class of Sunnydale High School (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, “This Year’s Girl” s04e15, 1997)
J'ai dessiné Drusilla pour le zine « Boca del inferno », dédié aux méchant·es de #Buffy. 🧛🏻♀️✍🏻
Ce zine réunit 17 artistes et a été imprimé en #risographie à deux couleurs (noir et orange fluo) à Bogota, en Colombie, dans l’atelier Taller Colmillo.
Ok, I am NOT into musicals*, but I’ve watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Subspace Rhapsody ONCE and have these songs stuck in my head. (And yes, this is a good thing.)
*that said, I did get the “bunnies” references, because that’s ALSO a surprisingly good show WHO AM I?!?!
Sarah Z and Lady Emily's defense of #Buffy season 6 was insightful and smart just like always. For personal reasons as well as the same ones a lot of folks have, I've kind of given up on the Whedonverse, but this was a good reminder that Marti Noxon and her writers room had some good ideas. https://youtu.be/UMC45v0ULCY?si=UXehPCJebwuIIlA0#tv
Initially I thought I'd not make a #Blorboversary toot because I already hold back on posting Emhyr things - but I just went through my blorbo history on Tumblr, so here's my list with 10 major blorbos - the meme said "10 fandoms, 10 blorbos":
Dak Starcrest (the Emperor's Edge book "Republic" and the Chains of Honor series by Lindsay Buroker, yes this is very uh exclusive and he's no main character but I was into him so bad he has to be included)
@LadyDragonfly 🤣🤣🤣 One of my fave scenes from Buffy was Spike describing Giles’s life to a t. - “Cuppa tea, cuppa tea almost got shagged,cuppa tea…” I made my sister watch the scene when I gave her this tea pot for her birthday. 😜 #Buffy#Tea#Art#Handmade
I was a huge #Buffy fan and my big luv was Tara... Her death was too painful (but needed for Willows story). I just ♥ this song. And I still cherish the day that Amber kissed me on the cheek 😊😊😊
Under your spell [Music for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"]
Jetzt ist mir klar, warum bei #Buffy manche Szenen irgendwie falsch wirken - inbesondere die Innenraum-Aufnahmen mit bösen Vampiren sahen teilweise wie Tageszenen aus. Stellt sich raus, sie haben das Color-Grading beim HD-Remaster sehr schlampig gemacht - der nachtblaue Farbfilter ging verloren.
In diesem Video nimmt jemand das mal alles gründlich auseinander:
My 12yo daughter is a budding #sci-fi fan. She loved #TheAstronauts on #Nickelodeon. We are having great fun watching #SyFy's #TheArk. I want to introduce her to some more light tv. #Buffy is on the menu.
Can anyone recommend more age appropriate #scifi / #fantasy TV or movies to introduce her to?
Oklahoma.
Fiddler on the roof.
Music Man.
Xanadu.
Rocky Horror.
La La Land.
And many more.
But I can not watch tv shows that out of no where become musicals. It just makes me cringe. It's always some contrived plot where someone bumps their head or falls into a coma, or some unknown phenomena.
It just takes me out of the world that's being presented and comes off as some self aggrandizing attempt at a talent show.
@Mrfunkedude kind of the opposite for me. "Why are you singing?", unaddressed gnaws away at a narrative for me.
If the contrivance is clever
&
At least a few performers can simultaneously act and sing
&
It is a well written show I'm previously invested in
&
Everybody is all in having fun
Okay so apparently the “bunnies” thing at the staff meeting is referencing #Buffy’s musical episode.
I’ve never seen a lot of Buffy. Not sure whether I should though, because watching the song in Buffy (https://youtu.be/alpSG3Gi3qY) it became absolutely obvious that I can still crush on Alyson Hannigan in an instant.
