Tara

Shy, brave
uncomfortable, beautiful
dead, but living forever in our hearts

A wonderful paradox

She denied a goddess
and I feel in love

Before, she was The Girlfriend
now, a hero

She meet a girl
-her willow tree-
feel in love
-so beautifully-

But the tree went greedy
stole her memory

Tara felt unsafe
used and lost
To save herself
she left
her broken heart the cost

Tara, our hero
choose to stand strong
Independent
but alone
Yet her light did not fade

It grew brighter

She still loved her tree
defended it
loved it
and one day

Joy

Happiness

Naked sexiness

The heroin and the tree
together
at last

A happily ever after

But then

”Your shirt”

Should it be "A amazing paradox" or "An"?

Tick tock, tick tock,
the clock has stopped.

Down falls the leaves on the dead slayer's grave.

My knight bleeds from his eyes. His star has gone out. He lays his shiny, shiny head, on the muddy, muddy grave.

Still won't play with me, even after I snapped the wicked witch's head and ate her skinless boyfriend.

”Still won't bring her back”, he says, my Spike.

I have to find miss Edith. She's the only one who will speak with me. I hope I didn't leave her in the valley of the sun.

She's the only family I have left.

Author's note: Let's say it takes place before issue 26 of Season 8, because I haven't read further. And in case you haven't read Season 8 of Buffy, I should explain that Amy(Willow's ex witch-buddy) and Warren(mr. flayed-alive-by-Dark-Willow-and-now-skinless) are back and fighting against Buffy. They haven't killed her in the comics, but for this drabble to work, you obviously have to imagine they have. And that Spike found out about it. And that Drusilla still likes Spike enough to want to "play" with him, even tough he threatened to kill her(she's crazy and lonely, so I think she's fine with it.

...When the Author's note is longer than the drabble, something's wrong.

I thought about posting my fanart here, but since there's so much, I'll just link to another website where I keep my art.

Summary: Ever wonder why Dawn went out on Halloween, and let herself make out with a guy on the first "date"? Other than being a horny and lonely teen ager?
Spoilers: All the way(season 6)
Private note to myself: I also posted this on http://community.livejournal.com/_dbdawn_/100948.html?view=135508#t135508

I wonder if this counts as my first love, or third? Xander and Spike don't count, do they? They were crushes, made up crushes by a made up girl. But this is real. Even if it's not love, just a thing of the moment, it's real.

His soft lips on mine, my fingers clutching at his strong arms.

This is real. Tomorrow the memory of this will start to fade. In one year I might not even remember his face. In ten, this could all be forgotten.

But even a forgotten memory is real. And that's just what I need.

This I posted on slayalive.com ;

You know that moment when you realize that you're parents aren't perfect? I heard that for some, that moment never comes. For me, it came for the first time when I was a pre-teen and had stepped on my mom's last nerve.

Slap.

She's sorry of course, and it only happened every other half year, I think. not really someting I like to remember. Same with my calm dad. Sometimes my strong opinions about the world, injustice and how to raise me properly weren't that welcome.

I've had that moment of disapointment with mom and her rage (I swear, she's been going through menopause for half of my life) a lot of times. Fewer with my dad. But later in my teens, I found out that my dad can't stand the thought of two men kissing, or two women. And he speaks of the romans(gypsies) as if they're the root of criminality in our town. He really surprised me.

But apparently, there's a new low for him.

I wake up, someone's ringing the doorbell(I live in a apartment building, two apartments side to side on each floor). He comes into my room, says it's not our doorbell, it's our neighbor's. Later, worried again, he comes in, telling me that a lady has collapsed outside and there's people everywhere. I ask ”Ambulance?”, he says, ”Yes, someone's called”.

This happens past noon, but I'm not up yet. I lay listening to the TV, snoozing. I feel guilty, not running out. I begin to watch the TV instead, lying in bed, trying to get interested in the story. I feel guilty, goes up and out, look out the peeping hole in our door, seeing movement outside. I walk out on the other side of the apartment, to scared and nervous to actually walk out and say ”Hey, you need help?”.

I walk out on the balcony, see nothing, but I just heard an ambulance. I pace to my room, undo the blinds, see the ambulance outside. My conscious is cleared. But I want to cry.

”Dad, did they knock on our door?”
”Yes.”
”Why didn't you answer?”
”I was too late, they were gone.”
”So!?! What if they needed towels or something? And how did you know if they called the ambulance? ”

I can't remember the conversation that well, mostly my frustration and guilt. I only had to put on some clothes go and and offer my help. Sure, I'm afraid of making contact with new people but that was pathetic. And dad already had clothes on. Even after all his years as a security guard, was he scared too? Afraid to reach out?

I'm still glad that in my quilt I didn't bring up that time my mom spent breathing air into an old non-breathing guy's mouth, doing CPR, although his heart must have stopped beating a long time before. I wanted to tell dad that she was brave, not disgusted, she dared to reach out. That she was a better rolemodel than him.

But I didn't remind dad of that time. I didn't have the heart, or guts.

Because I know that we both are cowards. And we love each other still, fear or no fear.



That my fellow slayalivers, was how I started my day today, the 6th September of 2008.

What a glorious day.

We att slayalive.com want the planned animated series to be made, as a show, or right to DVD. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the cliffnotes:

Seven scripts were written, a pilot made (clip below),
and all characters but SMG signed on to do the voices. The epsiodes were suppose to be in late season 1. Joss Whedon showed the pilot to the networks, but no one wanted to do it.

Pilot:

Perhaps if we show that we want it enough, the idea will be picked up.

PS. I think it's okay to write not write your adress, just make something up.

Någon mer än jag som läste reportaget “Här våldtog han kvinnan’ i Aftonbladet (den 18 augusti 2007) och ville gråta av sorg? Det reportaget berättar om och citerar personer som arbetade sida vid sida med tv-läkaren som anklagats för att ha våldtagit en kvinna under en behandling den 3 maj 2007. Tydligen så visste många om att tv-läkaren var en sexförbrytare.

Låt mig citera för er från reportaget; “Flera andra kvinnor, några anställda och nära vänner anklagar också tv-läkaren för våldtäkter och sexuella övergrepp.” Var var dom “offren” förut? Jag säger offer med citattecken för att vi visa mitt hån. Tänk bara på de anställda. Hade de kontakt med de patienterna som blev våldtagna? Lugnande de ner patienterna innan behandlingarna och sa;”Det här ska gå så bra så, det är ingen fara, bara en rutinoperation som han kan göra i sömnen.” Det enda som hände i sömnen var att patienter blev våldtagna! Är det jag som tittat för mycket på amerikanska advokat-tv-serier, eller kallas inte det ‘medhjälp till våldtäkt‘?
Det finns tre sorters roller en människa kan ta i en trakasseri-situation, t.ex. mobbning på skolan. Den som mobbar, den som blir mobbad och den som ser mobbningen hända och inte säger ifrån. Jag erkänner att jag själv varit den tysta på skolgården, såväl som mobboffret. Jag borde ha sagt till oftare än jag gjorde, men jag var rädd. Trots det borde jag ha sagt ifrån. Inte för att jag vill vara en perfekt människa, utan för att det var det rätta.

“Den 8 maj samlade företagets vd personalen för att berätta att tv-läkaren gripits, misstänkt för våldtäkt. ‘Då blev det knäpptyst, säger operationschefen. Det var ingen som uttryckte någon som helst förvåning. Det var bara knäpptyst.’” Här är ett annat citat; “Dagen då våldtäkten skulle ha skett stod teamet och väntade på tv-läkaren för en operation.” “‘Vi gick som osaliga andar och väntade medan han befann sig i ett annat rum med en patient’. När tv-läkaren kom ut var han uppjagad och rödbrusig. ‘Nu har han gjort något med henne som han inte borde, tänkte jag. Något sexuellt.’”Jag hoppas verkligen att du anmälde detta till polisen så fort du förstod vad som hänt. Eller tvättade du bara av kvinnan och skickade hem henne?

Det kan inte ha varit lätt för de som bara misstänkte att han var en våldtäktsman att säga ifrån, bl.a. p.g.a. av att de inte ville förstöra hans karriär, så de personerna kan ursäktas till en viss del, en mycket liten del, men för personer som har bevis, nära “vänner“, patienter, anställa, etc. som blev attackerade av denne man eller var säker på vad han höll på med, inför dem känner jag förakt och rädsla. Inte ens om de vittnar mot honom i en rättsal kan de gottgöra vad de gjorde. De hjälpte honom att våldta kvinnor.
Det skulle inte förvåna mig om några av tv-läkarens kvinnliga patienter, som levt utan sex i flera år, plötsligt upptäcker att de är gravida eller har obotliga könssjukdomar. Ifall de var nedsövda och medvetslösa under operationen så kanske de inte ens märkte att de blev våldtagna, eller trodde att de drömt en otäck dröm medan de behandlades (den kvinna som sägs ha våldtagits den 3 maj var vid medvetande men drogad).

Jag kan erkänna att det kan finnas förmildrande omständigheter. Kanske de som visste om brotten var hotade till livet av läkaren, vad vet jag. Men jag vill ändå att de personer som hade kännedom om de sexuella övergreppen och våldtäkterna ska bli straffade, med böter eller fängelse. Jag vet inte hur de skyldiga står ut med sig själva. Det gör inte jag och det tycker jag inte att Sveriges befolkning ska göra heller!

Jag satt och pffftt-ade hela tiden. Men jag måste nog e-maila hene/honom och säga till om några frågor som var lite omöjliga, och rent ut sagt fel.
