FANVIDS:
Tightrope by fray-adjacent12 - Boy, the movement and the rhythm of this vid! So amazing!
Born To Kill by thedothatgirl - Such an intense Faith vid! Love the B&W style and the explosive ending!
Final Hour (10th CHOSEN anniversary) by narvinek - OMG, I keep rewatching this new version and I keep comparing it to the old one and, yes, they're pretty different, the focus here is more tightly on Buffy but I really can't choose which one I like best... *_*

META:
Spike in ats s5 by coalitiongirl - This post makes such an interesting point about Spike!
Why We Fight: An Essay on Truth and Purpose by lynnenne - This meta made me really re-valuate the episode "Why We Fight"! ♥

Interesting thoughts about Spike's lack of arc in AtS S5 and the contrast between the two shows.

Oh, yes, totally! *nods*

I just read coalitiongirl's meta - and it packs a lot of complexity into a very short space, which I love.

Oh, yes, and there's another example of not being able to link to the original source, with tumblr being the way it is and all... :D

I enjoy finding bits of things on tumblr now and again and ZERO interest in having an account. I don't get the point of it - it consists entirely of reblogging and liking? I want to have CONVERSATIONS with people, that's why I got into this fandom, to talk about the show.

Maybe I've just got an old brain, but tumblr and twitter make no sense to me.

[endeni]

LOL, then I have an old brain too, 'cause I'm totally with you about twitter (no really, what's the point?) and tumblr irritates me to no end, such a terribly counterintuitive platform...

NAIL, HEAD.

Maybe I shouldn't say "old brain", maybe it's just a difference in how one's brain functions or - IDK. Smidge has apparently mastered the art of tweeting this past year, but if you've ever watched her in interviews she's like a stand-up comedian, constantly talking, rapid-fire (her husband apparently calls her "hyper". Heh.) So maybe it just suits her brain.

I just stare at tweets and wonder "Who are you talking to?" What are you referring to here? And if we can't have a substantive conversation what the hell is the point? Ugh.
