Echo saying "she's not right" when she first sees the Senator's wife and all the Dollhouse staff assuming that means the Senator's wife is a doll. bc they assume dolls are "not right." but Echo means the handler! (and Echo says this in her doll state, which is starting to get smart by this point - 2x05 - but like smart for a doll.) the handler isn't right, Echo recognizes how evil she is. to Echo the handlers are the ones who are not right and do not belong. yes yes yes!

Remembering when for a wordsprint for a writing camp I came up with a speed fanfic and it was a crossover between two equally vague fandoms— The Lunar Chronicles and Dollhouse. Scarlet was a Doll, Wolf was a handler. I need to rewatch it so bad and maybe expand on my writing. Please if anyone knows these two fandoms I'm begging you

Because Dollhouse was cancelled so no one knows anything about it, there’s like no fandom when there absolutely SHOULD BE. Anyone who posts Dollhouse stuff lmk so I can follow 💜

You know, having finally watched Dollhouse, I can’t help but notice some similarities between BtVS’s Spike and Dollhouse’s Alpha:
They’re both pretty unrepentant murderers (Spike because he’s a vampire, Alpha because he’s like 50 people and all of them have been fucked up by what they’ve been through)
They’re both hopeless romantics albeit in a totally twisted way and would do anything--and I mean ANYTHING--for the one they love including truly heinous acts
They both love super-strong women and literally worship the ground they walk on
though they also both oscillate wildly between proclaiming their love (usually in wildly inappropriate ways) and wanting the object of their obsession dead (but not really, because god fucking damn it they love them and they’re both suckers for love it’s like literally their reason for existing)
Since everyone’s superhuman here, they have no problem throwing down with their prospective honey if that’s how it’s gonna be
They both know instantly that something is genuinely special about The Girl
They both develop an obsession with the main character (Buffy/Echo) as soon as they clap eyes on them. Is it creepy? Kinda. But they get better, so... *shrug?* look, this is fiction, it’s not real, we can have this here okay
They both begin as Big Bads but canonically end up as Good Guys (even though we sadly didn’t really get to see the evolution from A to B in Alpha’s case)
They’re both really insightful and actually have some pretty valid points, however difficult or uncomfortable those points may be. But they’ve also got some pretty skewed logic mucking up the works, too
They both get an idea in their head and won’t stop until they’ve achieved their goal
They both show the ability to evolve. Like, they both realize at some point that they’re missing something critically important for them to be with the object of their affection and try various ways to fill that gap. Unfortunately, they both get it wrong a few times before getting it right (again, Alpha was on this road, but the show got cancelled before we got to see the whole transformation. We really only got to see the beginning and end :( which sucks, but we know it happens somewhere in the vaguery between S2 and the Epitaphs timeline)
There are so many opportunities for the main characters of both shows to just kill the Big Bad Evil son of a bitch and end things then and there, but they just... don’t? and then Spike/Alpha just get up and walk away lol
Some of the developing themes around their characters revolve around similar questions of identity and nature vs. nurture: how much does your original self remain when you become a demon/Doll? Which is stronger, your original self or what you were made to be? Are you shackled to your “nature” or can you change to become someone better? Someone you want to be? How can you do that when you’ve done so much wrong (and you’re low-key kinda not sorry about a lot of it)?
They both can switch between being comedy gold and genuinely menacing on a dime
And **MORE SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS AHEAD**
honestly? I think they both ultimately end up in love with the reality of The Girl than the idealized version of her. At first Spike is attracted to Buffy as The Slayer. As he evolves and they grow closer, he tries to convince Buffy to become a creature of darkness like him because he thinks that’s the only way they can be together. But he does love the human parts of her, and in the end accepts the complexity of who she is and loves all of her without reservation or expectation. Angel, on the other hand, loved the idea of Buffy more than the reality of her and never really moved past that. He insisted he knew who she was and what was best for her. By the same token, Alpha believes Echo will love him the moment he frees her by recreating his Composite Event. He tries to convince her that they are the same kind of new being, that they are gods/ubermensch, but she rejects his worldview and him. That doesn’t stop Alpha from trying to understand why she did that and attempt to bridge the gap between himself and her. He initially rejects Caroline and "loves" Echo (the Doll and all her many personalities). He’s frustrated by her rejection, but seeks to understand it. After he imprints himself with Paul Ballard’s personality, I think he would have gone on to a) actually understand love beyond obsession, and b) love Caroline AND Echo. Additionally, like Spike when he got his soul, I think he would also have better understood his own deficits and felt more remorse for his past sins. He would have vacillated between doubling down and seeking atonement, at turns hindering and aiding the main characters before eventually committing to a heel-face turn. He was on the same road to reformation and redemption as Spike was and likely would have loved Echo completely without asking for anything in return (as seems to be implied by their interactions in Epitaphs II). Paul, on the other hand, is attracted to Echo but in love with the idea of Caroline (without having ever actually met her until much later, and that didn't really work out too hot for him because, like he did with Echo, she holds him at arms length emotionally). Despite realizing that Echo is becoming a person in her own right with her own desires and feelings, he shuts Echo down every time she tries to get closer to him, presumably because he feels like any relationship beyond a professional or platonic one would be a violation of Caroline’s being. Basically, he sees Echo as only and forever a vessel, an empty shell to someday be filled back up by Caroline--and when that day comes he is hoping that she will love him back when he “rescues” her (and, unlike Alpha, seems more stubborn about sticking to his guns and waiting for the “real” girl to come back instead of realizing shit’s a lot more complicated than that now).
Idk, I'm just saying from what I see there's a lot of common ground here. Don't get me wrong, there are some significant differences between Spike and Alpha, too (as well as Buffy and Echo's respective situations), but I found some of the parallels intriguing. A lot of this is conjecture for Dollhouse/Alpha because the show got canceled before they could really explore Alpha's character arc. And look, I know this is personal taste, but just like with Spike vs. Angel, Alpha was way more intriguing than Paul imo.
(also, like, there are THREE gifs of Alpha that I can find. THREE. How? Is? This? POSSIBLE??? How am I supposed to work in these conditions?!?)
Anybody else see any other parallels between Spike and Alpha? Or maybe between Buffy and Echo/Caroline? and are any of my fellow spuffy shippers also on this ship? if anyone out there loves spike but hasn't seen dollhouse, I'd recommend it, also please talk to me, I need people to talk to about my new hyperfixation/problematic blorbo...

Personally I've never looked at a 23-27ish old woman and thought. Oh yeah, she needs a new father figure. Thats a grown ass adult.
Like I get some people who say its like a teacher/student relationship the series is going for the Ghoul and Lucy. Fair enough. Probably what we will end up with.
But If a man chooses to pistol whip, slap, tie, torture and sell a young woman (again completely grown up) to "teach her a lesson" and your kneejerk reaction is - yeah parent-child relationship.
What...happened?
#for real this is fiction#like we are slapping barbie dolls together in our dollhouse#if any man treats you like this call 911#especially if its your caretaker#or any other person family or not#fallout prime#the ghoul#ghoulcy#vaultghoul#fallout show

CATRAT X DJ CATNIP COMIC💙❤
this comic is like: veeeery long (14 pages lol) so press the read more thing if you really want to read the whole thing ❤
There´s at least THREE persons on this fandon who actively searchs for this ships on tumblr so that´s enought for me to post this comic (?
This was originaly an art roleplay (my brother was CatRat and I was the rest of the characters, as you can guess all the CatRats vignetes or mostly of them was made by him along whith the character actions). We even used a dice for determinate some parts of the roleplay, it was so fun!
#And of course that the very first long comic of the show have to be about the gay ship#(hopping that is not the last please people I need more comics of these cats I don´t mind about the art cuality I just want moreeeeee)#gabby's dollhouse#dj catnip#dreamworks#catrat x dj catnip#catrat#catratnip#gay#deadnydrawings#my art#comics#comic#gabby#pandy

Cate what is the deets on Angel why do I want to cringe and cry. What’s the deal
magsy I wish I knew!!!! what I DO know is that Angel is not an outlier - he's very typical of the "first love" in a lot of teen vampire media. the looming in the background, the emotional constipation, the dark past that's SO dark it's basically a split personality that has to be kept in check: all of that describes Edward from Twilight and Stefan from TVD just as much as it describes Angel. and something about this character type is supposed to appeal to teen girls. the presumption here does seem to be a kind of parallel between monstrousness and masculinity, specifically, where men are terrifying but also somehow fascinating, and eventually girls will find a "good" one who has his true, monstrous nature locked the fuck down, and that makes him safe. this makes you and me squirm because we don't think any human beings have completely monstrous natures, let alone an entire gender. we think the wounds of sin don't destroy all the way down to the core, and we think those wounds can be healed in a holistic way that isn't just repression.
this is why we have to thank God every day for Scott McCall, the supernatural good-guy hero who is genuinely a good guy.
#there's more I could say but I don't want to spoil season two#what I will say is that i think whedon was very preoccupied with the problem of male lust.#and to some extent I think he saw the PROBLEM very clearly. but he doesn't always hit the right note when it comes to the answer#I mean the WHOLE of Dollhouse is about objectification and it shows it to you in such a clear and ugly way#but it doesn't see a way out. it just sees the inevitability of people trying to use each other forever#buffy sometimes gets it more right! btvs episode amends my most beloved. spike going on a quest to ****** *** **** my beloved#asks
