Buffy the Vampire Slayer au where Ethan Rayne gets a job at Sunnydale High as like, a janitor, and instead of all the big mischief we see in the show he just makes it his job to mildly inconvenience the Scoobies (but especially Giles) as much as humanly possible.

All the books are weirdly rearranging themselves and making it impossible to find anything. A hundred frogs were delivered for biology class? It would be such a shame if they were released in the library. And whatever happened to all the swords?

He has that sadness in his eyes that you only see in Eastern European gay porn

reasons why lorne is queer coded and why I am confused no one talks about the gay icon that he is

he is a stereotypical effeminate gay man down to the voice (i hate that you know the one, but you know the one). he likes glitz and glam and showbiz and female celebrities and parties and pop culture and mimosas and nice clothes and just behaves the way gay men are stereotypically shown/seen to behave (especially in early 2000s media) so um yeah that’s straight up the definition of queer coding but THERES MORE SO IM CONTINUING

his innate passion for music is used as a clear allegory for being different, and by extension sexuality and gender. he was shunned for his unique interest in music by his family and culture, and hated for being different by everyone in pylea despite it being something he couldn’t seem to control. when he comes to earth, he is able to be himself and pursue his passions, and sees pylea and his family environment as literal hell. the culture in pylea is based around conformity and obedience and is run by a shady religious group, so him breaking free from that environment is super relatable for queer people who grew up in religious / anti-lgbt homes

caritas is most definitely a metaphor for a queer safe space. there is no violence allowed, humans and demons exist there in peace with each other, and he created it personally from the ground up to provide a space for others like him who are different and might not want to go / be able to go to “normal” or human bars. oh and also there’s a club shooting scene where, despite most of the demons there being peaceful, the shooters are a, afraid of them and b, in this specific case, enjoy hunting and terrorising them for sport because they hate them so much. so. yeah that TOTALLY doesn’t reflect real life queer history and current events not at ALL

the women in the deathwok clan look like bearded men. lorne makes a few comments about cordelia’s beauty and availability as well as some pylean women from the past, but we know that the concept of gender and womanhood is different in pylea. so even if he is attracted to women, his experience of gender and gendered attraction is undeniably queer by human standards regardless

he clearly has a casual thing for angel. like he knows that man is gorgeous but he also knows that angel is in love with like fifteen different people throughout the series and he is just not about that drama

he uses affectionate pet names for everyone, especially angel, ALL THE TIME like honey, baby, muffin, sweetcheeks, angel-cakes etc

he fulfils the gay best friend stereotype very often in the role he plays in episodes, often furthering others’ arcs and the plots of episodes while providing sassy quirky advice and having no personal character growth. bad trope that I do not like but it’s true

he is a kind sweet mum friend and a sassy gay wine aunt at the same time and I love that for him

basically I have a lot of feelings about him and I simultaneously relate to him and want him to be my mum and he is a very very special boy who deserves all the love in the world!!! so!!! lorne says happy pride month!!!!

accurate depiction of Angel and Spike

#YEAH THIS

Gunn as "the muscle" is a whole bag of usually racist worms but like.

Gunn as the muscle because he connects with people and brings the army.

Gunn as the muscle because he keeps fighting long after others try to retreat.

Gunn as the muscle because the damn Heart is a muscle and of all the crew his beats the loudest.

We can argue all day long about how Angel and/or Spike changed the vampire lore in BtVS. One had a soul forced on him, and the other chose to get one (after having a chip in his head for two years), but no one talks about my girl Harmony.

No soul, no chip, and she chooses to stop killing humans and drinking human blood for no other reason than a good pay check.

#I also lived the trope with my now bf of 7 months the night before we confessed #love is real and it’s so gay

Why should you vote for Laios? (1)

"hes so freaking weird i love him. he loves monsters and he has wanted to eat them his entire life and he took the chance when i could. he makes exposition fun (infodumping)"

Why should Buffy Summers win? (2)

"Remained positive despite it all, 2 vampire boyfriends, broke the cycle"

My feelings on Connor really depend on what season I’m watching, I realize. I’ve been rewatching Angel slowly with my bf and I hate this shit rn but I don’t mind him in season 5. He’s actually pretty empathetic in 5. Can’t wait.

It’s that time again! Help a disabled trans person keep housing

So I’m not gonna make enough this month to cover rent at the end of it. I can only work 20 hours a week and my paychecks are weird. I get paid for the 15th-15th of each month but I don’t get the check till the last day. Fuck working for a university. So I cannot work the hours I need to to make rent even if I work every hour I can.

I’m working on getting a second job but the job market in Portland is shot to hell and back.

Anything at all helps.

How do you deal with shooting scenes of abusive behaviour, such as Spike's towards Harmony?
