Hit, memory, or smile

thanks for the ask all 3 of em came up at least once!! I ended up just choosing all gunn related quotes, bc he deserves it

Memory (from origin of species):

“Gunn,” she said, forcing the words out of her throat, “What are you talking about?” He twined his fingers together, “I don’t think you were there for any of it. It was while you were runnin’ round with no memory. But I - Fred - We found out who sent her to Pylea.”

hit (from origin of species):

Angel hit the ground hard, the sheer shock taking him down where he would have normally been able to stand his ground. Gunn was strong, but he wasn’t vampire strong, after all.

smile (from six conversations about sacrifice):

“You’re not about to tell me something about Fred I really don’t wanna know, are you?” “What? No!” Gunn stares at her. “How could you say that, Cordy? A gentleman never kisses and tells,” he says, mock-scandalised, and it’s enough for her to crack a smile.

willow finding out that xander's into a mummy who has been established to murder people and her first reaction being "good >:)" like ..... man i did not catch that before but i sure did now and i am in love with how consistently these threads are woven in. compassion ALWAYS shows up with her because she has such a big heart, but top priority with her is her own desire to be right. she likes the idea of xander's girlfriend sucking (literally!) because then that means xander's been duped by a terrible monster, which on some level she does feel he deserves for ignoring her!!

like there is something so...resentful? about willow's crush on xander, especially in s2, to the point where it starts from her being in love with him and is feeling like it's evolving into her being mad at him for not being in love with her. which is sooo fascinating to watch. that on some level she feels Entitled to him because She Was There First and she's so special! how dare he not notice!! (when of course the reality is that of course he loves her but he also loves having her on retainer. he's saving her for emergencies. this is such a mess of a dynamic.)

god, sword, frog !

no luck with sword or frog but god showed up 113 times just in origin of species (hooray for cordy sort-of-religious-trauma, I guess) so I might as well post a couple of them!

Here's one from a chapter that's coming up sooooon:

In hindsight, it had probably all been a ploy. She doubted Jasmine had ever had any intention of making good on her promise. But Jasmine hadn’t always told her things. Why should a god tell things to their mere vessel?

And for the sake of variety here's one from six conversations about sacrifice, which is the latest ace cordy wip I have kicking around, bc lord knows I love my fraught conversations:

“God, I don’t know, Angel. What would you want to do?” she almost doesn’t want to ask. She’s been pretty happy with not knowing exactly what would be expected of her if the curse wasn’t in place, but her curiosity gets the better of her. Because she can tell she’s doing it wrong, but she doesn’t know how. She doesn’t know what Angel was expecting her to answer.

there were a few more from origin of species I contemplated posting as well but they're all kiiiinda spoiler-y so I'm keeping em to myself for now

You can ignore this if it's too incendiary, or if you've already answered before. But does it really matter to compare who's more "problematic" when it comes to Angel and Spike? When they've both done a lot of fucked up shit in their (un)lives?

I think the centuries-old mass-murdering rapist who gets obsessed with Buffy when she's a teenager is extremely problematic, and the other one is fine.

[all-seeing-ifer]

one of these days i am actually gonna write up a list of like. formative possession horror/adjacent media I was exposed to as a child I think it would go a long way to explaining why i'm like this now

angel season 4 but if it was good is everywhere for those with eyes to see provided you are obsessed enough with characters not being themselves and/or the concept of insane speculative fiction autonomy violations. btw
