So, I recently renamed my lj. While Imaginary Batman still does make a lot of sense, I just had to replace it with "turgid supernatural soap opera." And, yes, it makes me laugh because SPN does occasionally have soap opera tendencies (*snorts*
occasionally), but the name change really stems from that episode of
Angel where Gunn goes to steal something with Gwen Raiden and that's how he explains what his life had recently been like. So now everytime I look at my lj I get to think about Charles Gunn, who is so totally awesome and I love him.
Also, I've been thinking about the end of
Buffy and
( do spoilers even count anymore? ) It made me wonder about disabled women who become Slayers. We know that becoming a Slayer is no kind of "cure" for anything and we've seen how being a Slayer can exacerbate certain conditions, like schizophrenia. And I would bet good money that it would exacerbate a condition like fibromyalgia as well (because holy crap, making the nervous system even more overactive would not be a good thing).
But we haven't seen a lot of that consideration in the source or the comics (at least, I hadn't seen anything by the time I stopped reading the comics) and I can't think of any fanfictional consideration.
Anyway, I think it would make for an interesting story. Heck, it kind of begs for a ficathon, and if I had more time and ambition I would totally run one. Because there are all kinds of women in the world and they all kick ass.
There you go, there are my deep BtVS thoughts for the day.
