Nami: [talking about Luffy] Why are you so fascinated by him? Zoro: Because he's something of a mystery. Why are you? Nami: [smiles fondly] Because so few men are.

If anyone remembers Duncney fan art YouTube video to that Enrique Iglesias song, you’re a real one

Thinking about how Dawn goes to sacrifice herself and Buffy doesn’t let her. She is not at fault for her existence. Thinking about how Buffy chooses to stop her sister from being eaten by the same world that foretold her own death when she was only a year older. A meaningless death she walked into because she didn’t have all of the information. And the tragedy of The Gift is that Buffy dies, but the triumph of The Gift is that Buffy decides to die and have her death mean something - both the world and her sister are saved. She has all the knowledge, for once, and she wins.

And the horror of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is that it is a world in which one teenage girl, plucked from innocence and ignorance, is sacrificed for the rest of us. Whether it’s Dawn or Buffy or one of the many slayers that came before. The tragedy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for me is the dehumanization of these girls. Dawn selflessly acting to sacrifice herself is an act of heroism; Buffy stopping her is the moment the show tells us that Dawn *is* a person, actual and whole. And Dawn’s life is worth the world because all of our lives are.

Dawn in The Gift is the through-line for me to Buffy in Chosen - the choice to break the cycle of forced sacrifice. The choice that looks at all those girls and makes the world recognize they are more than cannon fodder. More than objects to be used and abused and discarded. The potentials become slayers who have the ability and the free will to be heroic, to choose to fight - to have the knowledge and the power to decide what to do with it.

The same way Buffy does on that tower, staring at her brave sister. The sister who doesn’t know there is another way, and who is willing and ready to walk to her death.

so this little lady is serenity

she’s a rescue from a rodent mill in quebec and her and her sisters came all the way to my house in southern ontario to be fostered and hopefully adopted out to loving families. her sisters all successfully found homes but the applications for serenity all fell through. honestly it breaks my heart that people decided not to adopt her just because she isn’t super snuggly or is “too old” (she’s only four months old by the way).

luckily though me and my parents were able to have another permanent resident hamster, so she’ll have a loving home for the rest of her life.

she’s come a long way since we first started fostering her and has gone from screaming and running whenever someone touched her to being a sweet squishy bean who loves to explore whenever I have her out.

I love this little weirdo with my whole heart

and yes she is SUCH a weirdo. I blame the fact that she’s from quebec. every once in while while you’re holding her she’ll give you a little nibble just to check if you’ve suddenly turned into a tasty snack. but then she won’t take food from your hands if you offer it to her. It has to be left in her house where she will eat it LATER when no one is looking. she’s so silly I love her.

I've been playing Horizon: Zero Dawn a lot lately, and I just have one problem....

Aloy is too pretty.

I keep staring at her during the cutscenes and then forgetting entirely what I was supposed to be doing.

Help, I'm too damn gay for this 😭

Ed Darlas stared out over the silent dunes. Today, he would get revenge. It might be 20 years too late but revenge was, after all, a dish best served cold. Or, at least, unexpectedly.

The crunch of sand behind him made turn, the moon glinting off his dark hair.

"Sir?"

Ed hummed and turned back to the dunes. The sky was getting lighter, the moon and stars disappearing.

Sam nervously fiddled with his sleeve, his eyes straying to the shadowy figure he called captain.

"What's the plan, sir?"

Ed's smile glinted in the early morning haze.

"Don't ya worry about that, boy. I'll tell y'all when the time's right."

He suddenly turned and looked Sam right in the eye. Sam was vaguely aware that they were the same brown as the sandy dunes.

"Tell the rest o' the crew to get the horses ready. We ride at dawn."

Sam nodded and walked away, leaving Ed standing on the cliff edge. The captain gave one last look at the horizon. The sun was shyly peeking out above the dune line, painting the sky blood red. He smiled. Today would be the day he would finally get revenge on Malcolm Reynolds.

And finally... to round up the complete gen 3 sweep, Dawn is your favorite overall character as well!

And that's it for the five-year celebration! Thank you all for playing along and reading along! See you in another five years (oh wow)
