3 fanon things confirmed

[maggie2]

Needless to say (!) I'm really happy about the preview pages.  It could get me to revert to being a Spuffy.

But aside from wanting (like crazy) to speculate about Buffy's smile and Spike's not-made bed, here are three things that Dark Horse has delivered us about Spike:

1.  It's now text that Spike has a more sizeable package than the other vampire.  Proof?  You don't boast to your ex about your package when she's in a position to make a direct comparison with your rival unless you think that comparison works for you.

2. Spike went to college.  OK, this was pretty much a given -- but now it's unmistakeable.

3.  He's got some sophisticated tastes underneath that bad rude exterior.

How many ways can I possibly say how happy I am that he's back at DH and being written by folks who know that there's more to Spike that womanizing and brawls?

Allie deserves a shout out on this.  So here's me, shouting out.

Finally: does that scene not reek of "Trust is for old marrieds, Buffy"?  I'll take it over space boinking and bestest day ever shenanigans any day of the week.

Haha, I'm amused by the package line! I'm not thinking about it too seriously, but I suppose you're right that you don't boast about that unless you're certain your ex won't blow away the wind in your sails.

I love how Spike is back at Dark Horse! And not only is it confirmed he has a higher education--calling Buffy and Angel idiots!--but also refined tastes. And we also get a reminder of how smart Spike is that he speaks Fyarl.

Yes, yes, "trust is for old marrieds, Buffy." ♥

I wish I could make a heart sign like you just did. But heart. That's my answer.

hearts are easy:

& hearts ;

but without the gaps! ♥

I'll never remember it. Old age is taking its toll...

Write it down on a piece of paper! That's what I did with all the HTML way back when. (And it's only just recently that I've been able to remember the coding for adding pictures!)

You are very wise! How can I be too old to remember things, but not wise? Shakes head at self.

Haha, jinx! You beat me by two minutes! Curse you... ;-)

Thanks. ♥ I've always wondered how it's done, and someone had told me before, but I forgot.

"&" + "hearts" + ";" typed together with no spaces = ♥

And it's a detail about Angel that Spike is in a position, canonically, to know. :-)

[2maggie2.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

The one question that remains is whether Buffy's in a position to know that Spike knows. Always Darkest suggests that the possibility has at least crossed her mind....
