someone talk sense into me!

So, I have a confession to make.

I have a massive, irrational, insurmountable crush on Spike.

This goes contrary to all logic! I don't fancy the bad boy character! (shut up, the Master does not count. THAT WAS THE FAULT OF THE SLEEVES AND THE CAPE AND THE CRAZY AND THE JOHN SIMM WHO IS A NEIL GAIMAN FANBOY AND IT WAS A BRIEF FLING ANYWAY WHAT I AM NOT IN DENIAL GO AWAY.) I mostly fancy side characters anyway! I rarely find blond men attractive! Especially blond men who aren't even naturally blond! I go for the awkward tragic bookish sorts with weird senses of nobility; just look at my fictional boyfriend list! Statistically, I should be fancying Giles! (Well, I do, a bit. But that's beside the point.) IT'S ALL WRONG, I TELL YOU! IT'S THE PRETTY ACCENT PUTTING A GLAMOUR OVER ME! AND THE CHEEKBONES! AND THE SWIRLY LEATHER COAT OF AWESOME AND WIN. I AM INNOCENT IN THIS. I AM A FLY CAUGHT IN A SPIDER'S WEB OF...STUFF.

SOMEONE STOP ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

I'm pretty sure it's a Marsters thing.

He's just. You know. -hides-

Too pretty for this world? Cos, yeah, pretty much. D:

UNIVERSE WHY DO YOU HATE ME. (and seeing as how my last fictional boyfriend died...you know what, I just mess up fictional people. they're either already weird, or they get weird. oh dear.)

[identity profile] builtofsorrow.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not exactly the phrase I was thinking of, but um. It works. -hides some more- :D

ARE YOU IMPLYING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH WEIRD PEOPLE?!? -griins- You should just fall in love with someone immortal, like Captain Jack Harkness. -cuddles him-

[identity profile] faeriemaiden.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Spike is immortal! Unless...someone...stakes him. Or...he goes out in the sun. Or...THE DOCTOR IS MOSTLY IMMORTAL. UM, UM. *casts around desperately*

I just have bad luck with all fictional people, boyfriend or no. I like them and it curses them. Aside from the whole Remus-and-Tonks issue, look at Dean Priest! Or Charlie! I AM A DESTRUCTIVE INFLUENCE! *weeps*

[identity profile] builtofsorrow.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
JACK IS ENTIRELY IMMORTAL, SO THERE. (Though he is also very taken, and also I am currently in love as well with someone who isundead. So.) I am only somewhat nervous about this, as I am sure Eleven will be equally as brilliant; also David Tennant is entirely too brilliant to be locked into Doctor Who his whole career. (Speaking of which, I keep meaning to tell you that you should see He Knew He Was Right, the main storyline of which is pretty much ridiculous and kind of annoying, but DAVID TENNANT IS A VICAR AND LO HE IS VERY PRETTY AND AWKWARD.

Thanks to the Doctor, Remus and Tonks are happily alive and raising Teddy, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! -covers ears and hums- Still. I feel your pain. Look at Walter Blythe! -cuddles you comfortingly & feeds you cake-

*pats hand* It was bound to happen sooner or later, honey. You're young, you have to go through the bad boy phase; just be glad he's fictional and won't give you problems!

In short: enjoy it.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DISSUADING ME! TRAITOR! ;P

[identity profile] last-archangel.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose...except that I've been in love with him, too, since that kiss on Torchwood. *fans self* My God.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm rather liking Spike in a "you are such a psycho, but my gosh you're entertaining and, okay, kind of sexy" way, and I'm not even as far through the series as you are. I still like Angel better, but then I liked Spike better than Angelus, whatever that means.

[identity profile] faeriemaiden.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
...Why is nobody dissuading?! D:

How far have you got now? And what'd Spike have to go and get MOAR DEPTH for, anyway? It only makes it worse. First he was just my favourite television villain ever, because he was fun and had a pretty coat and was psychotic but not flat and I liked his relationship with Drusilla (and the Evil Thing Of Doom's comment in "Surprise" that the two of them stunk of humanity -- "you share affection and jealousy"). And then he went to Buffy for help in "Becoming, Part II", and had that moment of almost-compassion ("God, he's gonna kill her", and then he shakes it off and leaves), and then there was "Lover's Walk" and pouring out his troubles to Mrs Summers over cocoa, and then there was S4, and...I'm gone. I'm completely lost. It's hopeless. Oh dear. I may need to take to cocoa myself.

Just wait for season seven . . . muhahaha!

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!!

[identity profile] bonny-kathryn.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
But see, I try really hard not to speak of anything that would be a spoiler, which goes against my n ature, which is to talk at great length about my latest fandom. And besides, while I liked Spike in Buffy from the beginning, season seven was just that much better.

Let me extend a gloomy welcome to the club. I can't understand it either.
I'm curious: what happens when it's too late?

*chortles at your icon*

I'm curious: what happens when it's too late?

I'm not entirely certain. It may involve spontaneous combustion. D:

I think you will find a perfectly rational explanation for liking Spike once you hit his background story. And then LORD will you be laughing. ;)

[identity profile] suangelita.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
AAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

I dreamed about him. Last night. It was a very very vivid dream. He was there. I first saw him in a swimming pool (he had a good chest in that dream... ACK.). Then I realized I was Buffy. He'd come over to my house last night in the rain, and I washed and dried and ironed and pressed his wet clothes for him. And then, we were going to get married, except really seriously. Not like in "Something Blue". But really truly of our own free minds. And Giles and Willow were mad at me and were coming after me with barbed wire. And I was just smitten with Spike. It was so weird....

And the weirder part is... I like Angel TONS more than Spike, and when I dreamed about Angel, he was only helping to get Roberto and I married.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH.

What is WRONG with me?!?

[identity profile] faeriemaiden.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ack! I totally had a dream about Spike last night, too! I told you connecting our heads with wires was bad. ;p It started out as this long and involved storyline about someone renovating or buying or knocking down the church my father worked at eight years ago and I was all "noooo, there are fun little hideaways!" and it was weird. Then there was Spike, and fortunately he was not a cat this time. I think I might have been Buffy, because he was trying to convince me of...something, I'm not sure what, and there were flashbacks, in a sort of slide-show. He was all, "I know we tried to kill each other a lot", and there was a flashback of Buffy and Spike sword-fighting, "but we've done ally stuff, too!" and then my mother came in and turned on my radio and there was no more Spike. D:

Barbed wire. That's a peculiar way to stop a wedding... :p

[identity profile] suangelita.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
They were going to poke my eyes out with it or something. You should've seen it. No, wait, you shouldn't have. It was weird. :P

Um yeah, I'm beginning to think the brain wiring is a baaad idea. :P ;) ^_^

[identity profile] suangelita.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
OH! OH! OH!!!!!

OMG!!! Sarah Michelle Gellar was asked to be Yvaine in Stardust, but she turned it down to spend more time with her husband!!!


SHE WAS ALMOST YVAINE!!!! AAAHHH!

[identity profile] faeriemaiden.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, really? I don't know how well she can pull off a convincing British accent, but if she can, she would have made a great Yvaine. Though I'm extremely fond of Claire Danes' performance, so I reckon it was for the best. ^-^

[identity profile] suangelita.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, she did spend 7 seasons with Giles, and 6? seasons with Spike, so it's not like she hasn't spent at least 6 years of her life confronted with it almost every day. She would have been awesome...

But Claire Danes was very good, and so I'm satisfied. :)

[identity profile] safebox.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I am laughing at you a lot right now. Just so you know.

Mwahahahaha!

[identity profile] faeriemaiden.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
You're using that Master icon just to taunt me, aren't you. *scowls*

(Blimey, he's so adorable EVEN WHEN HE'S A PSYCHOTIC MURDERING LUNATIC. Especially when he's a psychotic murdering lunatic. Though I really preferred the big fluffy sleeves. I'm not even going to tell you how many times I re-watched the end of "Utopia" just to see him run around the TARDIS giggling in evil glee. ARGH BRAIN WHAT HAVE YOU DONNNNE.)

[identity profile] safebox.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ahahaha, yes I was. :D

(Heeeeeee! Omg, Utopia. Is just so brilliant, the whole thing, and I share your pain because I can quote alarmingly high proportions of it on cue. Because Jack, and Jack'n'Martha blogging at the end of the universe, and the reveal at the end, and yes. Right, think I know what I'm watching over lunch!)

By the way, for I cannot remember - Life on Mars, have you seen it? Because if you had then I would also expect Sam Tyler to be on the fictional boyfriend list, for truly he is made of win (JOHN SIMM HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?).

[identity profile] take-a-sadsong.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
OH MY GOODNESS. YOU HAVE LITERAY BOYFRIENDS, TOO? AND A LIST! JUST LIKE ME? THAT IS AWESOME! See, I thought I was some sort of hormonal geek (which I thought was bizarre, since I thought it was oxymoronic. or something), but you too? I don't feel half so bad.

But my list is probably a lot more teenagery than your's. You know, consisting of Calvin O'Keefe, an older version of Edmund Pevensie, Widge from Shakespeare Stealer, and a few others. All this time, thinking I'm the only one. :P

Anyway. YOU SHOULD NOT LIKE SPIKE. MOSTLY BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN BUFFY. so, um. you know. REMUS LUPIN IS BETTER, DEAD OR ALIVE. xD

So yeah. :)

[identity profile] faeriemaiden.livejournal.com 2008-02-23 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Even when I was younger, I was always attracted to significantly older fictional men; I still have no idea why. :p My list also includes Professor Bhaer from Little Women, and Aragorn, and...wow, I have a bad habit of forgetting them until they pop up suddenly, which is a wretched quality in a girlfriend. ^-^ You're lucky; mostly yours aren't already taken. It's the bane of my life, it is.

Thanks for the, um, dissuasion. Very dissuasive. I think. ;P

Eee, Shakespeare Stealer! Sorry, just I never meet anyone who's read that. And yes indeed, Widge is made of awesome. :D
