Spotting one of the performers for the day, Ciara waved her down. "Hey, I never got the music playlist you want. If you don't give me something you're stuck with whatever the hell Grayson picks."

WHERE: clem's place WHO: @clementinebriar & opal

This was certainly not Opal laying low and playing it safe. Since she'd adopted this new façade, she'd done very little to actually build out the character she'd decided to play here. Was it that this town was full of more shady types like her that could recognize a game or was she just losing her touch?

Either way, she shouldn't have been here. Their business should have been a one and done— no well-worn path to trace between them. But for as careful as she always had to be, she couldn't deny that it felt just as good as it did terrifying to remove her mask. Clem didn't know her, even still, but she knew enough. Just as Opal knew enough about her should she ever need to indulge in a little mutual destruction.

So, here she was, perfectly manicured nails— painted a drab olive green she hated, but thought the character of Opal would probably love— curled into a loose fist to knock against the door. In her other hand, a bottle of grocery store wine. As the door opened to her, Opal smirked, raising the shit wine in offering. "If I pay the troll toll, can I come in?"

 “You know I’m pretty convinced that my body is not mostly made up of water, but of coffee.” the brunette said as she took a sip of her caramel macchiato. Hani had lost count of how many cups of coffee she’s had that day alone. An iced coffee just always stayed glued to her hand. “Like at this point, I might as well change my name to Dunkins.”

"You fucked that. You," Alec argued as he rolled from his side to his front so that he could clumsily push himself back up. They'd drawn the attention of almost everyone at the bar— save for the one they'd singled out— and he made a face at Clem as her hand reached out to help him up. He had half a mind to tug her back down, a small price to pay for shoving all of the blame onto him when she'd decided to play spider monkey, but instead, he found his feet, smoothing out his flannel and jeans like they hadn't already been wrinkled as shit before he'd landed himself on the floor.

"If we're real fast, we could catch her. I bet she wouldn't be freaked out at all by a two foot tall Ring Girl backwards crab-walking through the crowed to get her number. You should give it a try." He scored a hand through his hair as he gave an encouraging nod in the direction of the door.

Truth be told, Clem was expecting Alec to have better balance. There’s gotta be a reason he’s survived this long being this tall, right? Her faith is proven to be misplaced, however, when — in a clear attempt to shake her off — he leans too far down, and somehow manages to bring them both down at once. Clem feels the wind knock out of her in a single breath, the impact hitting her first, and she groans in both pain and accusation. “You dumb fuck,” she exhales weakly, rolling over onto her stomach. There are a couple of people giving them strange looks, some concerned — Clem finds the blonde that had been their finish line in the midst of all this, giving them both unimpressed and, tragically, uninterested looks.

“Oh, we fucked that,” Clem moans, rolling onto her back again beside Alec. “We fucked that big time.” Someone above them asks if they’re okay, holding out a hand. Clem takes it before Alec can, allowing herself to stand, then helps Alec up, too, because she’s a good fucking friend, lest he forget it. “She’s leaving,” she informs Alec morosely, watching as the blonde scurries her way to the exit. Jesus Christ, her ass is gonna bruise, for sure. “Looks like it’s gonna be lines at home, after all.”

"Violet would do it for us" "Yeah, she would.

"Louis would do it for us" "...I guess"

WHAT WAS THE REASON. WHY.

I think I know why.

So, yes—when we're trying to get James to help us, Clementine has to walk through the barn with his mask on. AJ's understandably anxious about this, and here's how these optional conversations can go:

Clementine: You know Violet would do it for us. AJ: Yeah... She would.

Clementine: Louis would do it for us. AJ: Yeah. I guess.

So... why? Why this small difference in the way AJ reacts? Or, even in the way Clementine phrases it?

I think it's easier for us who like Louis/clouis to look at this negatively, like "Well, what the hell? That seems unfair."

But, we gotta remember which route this appears in. AJ doesn't say this in Louis' route, he says it in Violet's route where Louis is captured.

In that route, we obviously spend less time with Louis. More importantly, he doesn't get to grow as much as a character. That's the nature of this game; you know less about the one you don't choose.

The player probably didn't go hunting with him, didn't appeal to him, didn't follow him, and definitely didn't save him... meaning the perception of him might not be the greatest depending on the player. Especially if that player is still pissed about his vote... and I think AJ might be echoing some of that doubt.

Violet in Louis' route, at the very least, earns some favor by voting to keep Clementine and AJ. Hence why Clementine is pretty confident that Violet would do this for them and why AJ agrees... even though through meta-knowledge we know that Violet despises Clementine for letting her get captured. So, we could argue that she wouldn't do it for them in that moment. It's all part of the irony that ep3 likes to play into... y'know, "Imagine how Violet will feel when she finds out you came to rescue her. You'll have given her hope again."

Oh, will she have hope again, Lee? Is that what she's going to feel when she sees Clementine again? Are you sure?

But, in Violet's route, Louis is shown to be apologetic but not to have stepped up. He doesn't get the chance to. Hence why Clementine states he'd do it for them without the "you know" and why AJ seems more doubtful.

And the thing is, anyone who knows anything about Louis knows that he would do it no matter the route... but he'd also complain about it, y'know?

Fine, he'll climb up and distract the walkers, but he's gonna make a half-hearted threat about eating first Clem and Violet if he dies. Fine, he'll rub walker guts all over himself, but he's gonna be grumpy about it. Fine, he'll carry the bomb when they infiltrate the boat, but he's gonna be anxious about it the entire time.

Like... sometimes, that's just how Louis is?

If it were him James handed that mask to and asked to walk among walkers, Louis would be like, "Fine, but only because Clem, AJ, and my friends are my reason for existing and without them, I'll die anyway... and because I'll look good in these walker skins."

On the other hand, Violet's more of a "just shut up and do it," kind of gal. You hand her the mask and she'll be like, "Ugh, fine. Let's get this over with."

So yeah, there's a purpose for the slight against Louis there. You don't know him unless you choose him, and if you don't, the game adjusts accordingly.

I also see this sentiment of "Why would AJ say that??" at the end of Louis' route where AJ has the option to question why Clementine's trusting him with an important task.

But, like... you don't have to pick that option. Y'know? I understand being annoyed that it's even there; I was annoyed, too... but, if you like Louis and you understand his arc, you're not going to have AJ say that. Because you know better. You didn't just hear the jokes and the piano. You're making sure AJ didn't stop listening, either.

In my opinion, that choice is there to test you.

So yeah, anon, I hope this reasoning helps.

Ramses bit back his laughter for as long as he was able to before a quiet hum fell from his mouth. “Humans do strange things for comfort. Even if it is false.” He would know that better than most people. Especially lately. When he had been diagnosed he had looked at all the studies. He Had decided that if he had to bargain with his life that he would go with whoever had the bigger percentage. Which put in hindsight he realized how insane that sounded. No one could promise him his life. No one could tell him that he wouldn’t relapse. The anxiety of worrying that any stupid cough or sign meant that it was back was close to driving him insane. His lips pulled upwards at the corners to show a faint smile, “As complicated as we try to be we are really simple. We want everything to make sense. A quick simple answer and for someone to tell us everything is going to be ok.” That was what his clients always wanted. Everyone wanted to be told that their case was bulletproof and that victory was in their corner.  

Clem tries to fight a small smile when she sees him starting to think about it a little, and it grows when he laughs. She especially likes how poetic that last sentiment is, about how the only absolute when it comes to humans is death. "I agree completely," she says. "I don't think there's such a thing as some divinely-decreed sense of good and bad. Even if there was, you're right, humans don't really do well with absolutes, although I do think we try to create them sometimes, you know, like, when things don't go the way we want them, we definitely try to find one person to blame, even if it's something that isn't one person's fault." She gives a wry little grin, and adds, "You see that a lot with politics."

I dontb actually know how to do pixel art I was just goofing around 👍

As ardent fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we were overjoyed when we learned about the release of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. This wasn't just another offshoot for us; it was a chance to reconnect with characters that had become like family, brought back to life by many of the original artists who made them so beloved in the first place. These characters, many of whom were taken from us in the original run of the show, were given new stories, and their voices were empowered and strong, it was the story we needed and wanted. And the fans responded, making Slayers a huge success!

However, our joy turned into disappointment when we learned that a second season for Slayers has been blocked by Disney. We believe this would be an immense loss not only for us fans but also for the creators, and those who could potentially discover this universe through this series.

Disney holds the power to greenlight another season (or more) of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. By doing so they would honor the legacy of one television’s most influential shows, and artists who were part of its creation, while giving voice once again to characters who have meant so much to countless viewers around the world.

We urge Disney not only as fans but as individuals whose lives have been touched by these stories – please give Slayers another season! With Benson and Golden as writers and producers, as it is their vision and voices we want to follow.

Sign this petition if you too want Disney to allow them to continue telling these empowering stories in our beloved Buffyverse!
