Going on vacation this week and will likely be late for most if not all the reviews. Sadface since this is a pretty fantastic week for BtVS.

Ah, well, I'll just share what I expect to be my favorite Buffy gif that I'll make.

Faith draws a heart on a window and smiles suggestively

(Although the moment in Enemies where Natry chapurf Knaqre was pretty satisfying to gif, too.)

Day 22: Character you wish had been featured in the movies

Maybe Glorfindel? I like that they used Arwen more in the movies, because I hadn't read the appendices when I first saw the movies, so I had no real idea of who she was. But, I enjoyed Glorfindel's character, and wish they had managed to work him into the films somehow.

so I feel it might interest some people to know that I finished The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner and greatly enjoyed it. <3

I am rereading Persuasion for my senior thesis, and I have always had trouble picturing Anne Elliot in my head. Sometimes if I have trouble, I refer to an actress, and I eventually settled on Lee Pace as Captain Wentworth for some reason (and have never been happierrr <3 Lee Pace *gushes* i am picturing him in a naval uniform and it is delightful) but I honestly just don't know of an actress. I tried googling but I don't want like...Anne Hathaway or any huge mainstream stars that I can think of.

Anybody have any suggestions? Or at least know of dark-haired and preferably dark-eyed actresses in their late twenties to early thirties (or at least look it)? That are pretty but not drop dead gorgeous? I don't like ANY of the three actresses that have portrayed her. I didn't feel they fit Anne very much at all. Does anybody who has read Persuasion have a particular model?

I'm very lucky with Pride and Prejudice in that the actors from the 2005 movie were so close to how I already pictured them that now I picture pretty much the modified-versions of their actors.

Also now all I want to do is finish the last few chapters of this book because I am inside-squealing so hard at Wentworth's and Anne's dance around one another that I am ignoring the 20+ paged paper I have to turn into my mentor by tomorrow night and oh god I only have maybe 10 pages and none of them are in order. And I have to have at least 30 pages by Friday. HI WRITER'S BLOCK, WE MEET AGAIN. (my mentor is going to kiiilll meeeee)

EDIT: OH GOD I MAY HAVE FOUND HER AFTER ALL THIS TIME (and of course after I ask for help blah)...still would love to hear opinions! Or even any sort of related topic haha

My Buffy post tonight may or may not contain a total of six gifs. Oops.

But while I still love it, can I just say that "V'z fb rivy naq fxnaxl... naq V guvax V'z xvaqn tnl" kinda really pisses me off this time, thanks to later... shennanigans?

...is it just me or is the tee-hee-I-shall-allude-to-something-that's-hilariously-referencing-something-coming-up attitude stronger in today's comments? Oblique spoilers are still spoilers and basically, I'm not sure if they skirt close enough to be reportable or not and now I'm flailing at my computer :|

Are we doing a music appreciation thread this week? Because I've been listening to this song an awful lot lately:

She has such a lovely voice.

Are any of you guys watching Alcatraz? I know we have some Losties and Fringe-folks here, so I was curious. I have to say, I am LOVING every minute of it. In this last episode, the female law enforcement lead got into a confrontation with the bad guy of the week, and instead of being saved by the cis white dude, she used recognizable self-defense that a cop would know to save HER OWN ASS. It was BEAUTIFUL. Plus the two lead characters are a hispanic man (Hurley!) and a woman, and the cis white dude is relegated to a supporting role. There is so much trope subversion and good writing and characterization that I just can't help gushing about it. I haven't been this into a show or its overarching mystery in a REALLY long time.

I think all the episodes are up on Hulu, so it's not too late to catch up!

*waves timedly*

Uh, hi guys. Long time no see! I've gotten busy...and so behind in both LoTR and Buffy that's there is no possible way in all of reality to catch up, unless you give me a TARDIS. And in all honesty, if you gave me a TARDIS, I'd probably be too busy with all the running to watch/read. XD

Anyway...KORRA TRAILER!
