How did they give Buffy a whole ass funeral with a gravestone without her dad or the government finding out she was dead?
Like, magic, sure. Magic funeral or magic mind spells or magic whatever. Buffybot pretends to be really Buffy.
But carrying on the charade with a public gravestone and everything? Holy hell, man. The balls on these people.
Riley running from his bad choices to go play hero, then blaming it on Buffy and using it as an ultimatum to punish her for her lack of emotional vulnerability, is just such a wild fucking twist. That's leaving out the gory vamp bordello and the mom cancer details.
And then the narrative is like "they're willing victims. They don't deserve Buffy's help. Buffy the vampire slayer wants to slay those vampires for selfish reasons!"
And then the torturing? With a plastic stake? Bruh
Masterpiece of character assassination. At this point, after so many rewatches, I can only pity Riley for being the narrative's dumb tool.
"Hey I just cheated on you. Decide you still want me or I disappear."
Sounds so real. Are we sure it's not real?
Literal fever dream left me with only the phrase "Buffy The Vampire Slayer vampire HOA episode" echoing in my head
Let me wallow me in my delusions about what they meant here
Such a cool piece of ephemera! Not to piss on the parade or anything, but does that horse body have a man cock? On its chest?

Spoilers for severance season 2 episode 9 belowwwwwww
Pretty confident that's Helena in 9:
-she refers to Europe, Zimbabwe, and the Equator. As indicated by Mark S.'s reaction, an innie wouldn't even know "The Equator" is necessarily a place. I feel like it would be crazy nuts if an innie could recall place names by just trying hard enough, wouldn't that be baby's first reintegration?
-she says "I'm her, Mark." I don't think such a loaded line is accidental, but besides that, it matches Helena's moment of vulnerability with Mark at the ORTBO. It's a double meaning of baller proportions tbh. "Helly" is saying she's the same person as Helena, Helena thinks she can be everything Helly is, and the fundamental truth - she's literally Helena Eagan right now.
-the speech to music and choreography parallels Helena's speech to Mammalians Nurturable, as others pointed out. You've opened my eyes.
-When James visits Helly, it feels like he's paying his respects in a way. This is completely subjective but I think he was there to say goodbye.
-I don't think Helly would smile running away with Mark S. while Gemma beats at the door screaming her husband's name.
Anyway. Mark's reintegrating. Gemma's (fingers crossed) free. I'm rolling around like a pig in shit
Excuse you. I do not have a home, I have a nest. I built it out of trash and magpie treasures so don't you dare disrespect my hovel you absolute CRETIN
oh yeah, it's allllllll coming together now......

Happy to share that I have illustrated Kristen Britain's new Green Rider novel, 'Falling in a Sea of Stars' coming later this year from DAW books. The commission request was made for me, with a field of stars and Karigan in armor!
Hard to believe, this is the eighth painting I have created for Kristen since first tackling High King's Tomb back in 2006!
