#it's basically to buffy what torchwood was to dw

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, May 24th

GILES: (exasperated) What?! Well that's marvelous, isn't it? (turns away in a fit) Here I am, spent weeks trying, uh, to get a single scrap of information about our mysterious demon collectors and no one bothers to tell me that Buffy's dating one of them?! (faces them) Who else knows?! XANDER: No one. No one else knows this. (pauses) Anya, and that's it! WILLOW: (sheepishly) And Spike. GILES: Spike?! Spike knew? XANDER: Only the basic stuff. You know, that Riley is a commando and Professor Walsh is in charge. GILES: (furious) Professor Walsh!?

[officialtimhortons]

I have no idea what other fandoms you're in, could you list a few, so we can be awkward and shout about the ones we have in common? 😁

Ohdear. I really am in too many of them to count… or even remember off the top of my head tbh. But here’s a general idea: 

-Anime(there’s like a 75% chance I’ve watched any show you like but I really do love my haikyuu and healing animes). I also keep up with a lot of airing anime. :) 

-Merlin(I always come back to it no matter how many years it’s been. It has such a special place in my heart) +basically any show that was popular during the Sherlock era(Firefly, SPN, Buffy, Sherlock, Torchwood, DW, etc)

-BTS(I’m kinda ashamed but I got sucked in by JHope’s dance skills and then Namjoon and all his failed handshakes just sealed my fate)

- Voltron (dearlord i love this show and lance is the greatest and the new shiro is a fake shiro and i will fight anyone who wont admit that he’s being strange since he came back)

- In terms of games, I’m partial to Ace attorney, mystic messenger, and animal crossing.

- MCU stuff. Also XMen 

Also, where tf are you from?? How did you find me? I s2g I have such a low profile on here that no one ever talks to me.
