oh my god, my brain hates me

*epic facepalm*

So what, in the face of impending deadlines for remixredux09 and narniaexchange , does Betsy's brain do?

Why, of course! It gives her plot bunnies for Slayer!Susan, with Peter disapproving of her Watcher and her Watcher disapproving of Peter/Susan (also completely confused about why party-girl-boy-fiend-lipstick-and-high-heels-Susan already has some pretty freaking epic fighting skills) and Susan going 'FUCK THIS SHIT, I'M OUT OF HERE' an average of once a day to her Watcher.

Subtlety, Susan. You are doing it wrong.

*more facepalming*

I'll just... yeah... *shame*

:puts large bag of carrots behind back and whistles innocently:

also : Susan does not take well to being condescended to. Or being lectured on how to fight demons, when anyone knows that taking out the hamstrings on most things works just fine. Not to mention : hand-to-hand when a bow is far less risky personally and can be delivered with more force?

FEEDING THE PLOT BUNNY DOES NOT HELP MY PREDICAMENT. *dies*

"Really," she says in disapproval, and looks over the selection of crossbows that are the only long range weapons he has. "Peter, do you know where-?" she says without turning around.

"Yeah," he says, and when she comes for practice the next day she's equipped with a longbow and a dozen arrows.

"Yes, well, the reason most Slayers see fit not to use those is because they take such a long time to master," he begins, taking off his glasses and polishing them.

The arrow hits the center of the target with a thud, and he puts them back on and peers at it.

"Ah," he says.

But of course! And then Peter insults the Watcher's swordsmanship skills.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

This Watcher needs a name.

Something posh, perhaps.. *thinks*

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Worthington? Or, what are the canon Watcher names, since they run in families?

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Blair, Weatherby, Bryardale, Lassiter (hee!), Travers... those all have the right sound, I guess? Hmm.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Don't forget Giles and Wyndam-Price!

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

They are very posh, but they're so prominent in canon...

THEN AGAIN. OMG HAHA. Wesley's ancestor trying to be Watcher to Susan. I LAUGH.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Or GILES' ancestor trying to do the same.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

heee!

*falls off chair*

NOW I WANT THIS. BUT WHICH ONE? *cannot make up mind*

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Flip a coin!

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

And Westley's ancestor wins!

So something Wyndham-Price. *snickers*

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

The Wyndham-Pryces are canonically utter tossers. And higher up in the Watcher hierarchy. His granddad or great-uncle, maybe? His father never had a slayer.

(also : Blair is so not posh. Anyway, it's not so much posh as upper middle-class/low upper class. Went to Eton, but not necessarily stately home owning.)

HOH MY GOODNESS.

I WANTS TO SEE THIS.

...Except I have no idea what "Slayer" is. Ehe.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's... confusing, to say the least. *hides in corner*

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

OH. *hits self* Why didn't I think of that?

It's confusing, yes, but it's SO INTERESTING. 'Sides, kickass!Susan is awesome no matter what. 8D

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

It's somewhere around fifteen kinds of WHAT IS THIS WHAT NO OH GOD *sobbing*.

I am getting a feeling this is totally just an excuse to write Susan being kickass. *headdesk*

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

*hugs and offers a cushion to scream into*

B-BUT. Kickass!Susan is awesome?

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes she is. Also, fighting turns her and Peter on. Her Watcher is horrified.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Well, they are Peter and Susan, so I'm not surprised. In the words of bedlamsbard, Peter and Susan have sex, beat each other up, and have more sex.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

This is an extremely accurate assessment.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

It is! :)

It may have to be edited a little to fit Helen, Jack, and Richard. Because, while they are their parents' children, I don't think they beat each other up quite that much.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Also, you've got to remember the part where they beat other things up too!

Like vampires! And demons! And occasionally werewolves!

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I forgot about that! They are kick ASS.

And don't forget the occasional slightly delusional invader.
