You all forgot to remind me (apart from
jacqui_hw who just did)
So, we've been watching Season Seven of Buffy these last few days while we've been having dinner.
It started out as an innocent comment about Kripke being Whedon's bitch and how SPN and Buffy are very similar.
Then Jacqui pointed out that Kripke was probably a Spike/Giles slasher
Think about it. You've got two guys. The older one (chronologically not physically) is badass and snarky but is a woobie kitten on the inside. The younger one is stuffy and bookish with a hidden dark side.
Oh, and let's not forget Sam/Giles both had the person they loved be murdered by one of the villains
But then Kripke realised if he turned his Spike/Giles slash into a TV show people might have issues with teh gay so he made the boys brothers but forgot to remove all the slashy references ;)
At first we thought Castiel was Angel but Jacqui said he's more like Xander these days.
I think that was the gist of it. I'm sure
jacqui_hw will remind me if I got something wrong
And I'm using my hotass S5 Sam icon because I want to :-p
