Icon Post (and update on tagging)

butterflyFirst off, in the corner, we have Tom and Peter from The Talented Mr. Ripley. Because they're pretty.
I also uploaded two new Star Wars icons that I will use when appropriate.
and 
In the course of my tagging, have discovered that there were no episodes of S7 Buffy the Vampire Slayer that did not absolutely delight me on first viewing. Some I had trouble with after I interacted with fandom, but in the first viewing? I loved everything. And now I'm back to loving everything. It's nice. Full-circle.
Also, 2003 is the year that I fell in love with Angel. Connor made me fall in love with his dad.
*sighs*
This was the final year for Buffy. As I said the day after Chosen aired:
Like everything in life, the show wasn't perfect. But it was pretty damn close at times. It's made me laugh, made me cry, but most importantly, it's made me care. Just because the final curtain has fallen, that won't make me stop caring about the people of the Buffyverse. And they are people, fully-realized, with flaws and flashes of brilliance, and moments of heart-breaking humanity.
Damn straight. I still care, a whole hell of a lot.
And I went and updated my user info bio, as the bullet points were boring me.
Oh, and I've been reading some of my posts on Connor (AtS) and, OMG! Anakin is Connor!
There are two kinds of tragedies. There's the kind where it's all inevitable and it's tragic because no one had a chance or a choice. Then there's the kind where there were a million different possibilities that could have stopped all the pain and death, and it's tragic because you see each of those happier possibilities get closed off one at a time.
Like Connor, Anakin lived the second kind of tragedy (and, like Connor, in death he found new life).
Note: An example of the first kind of tragedy would be Moulin Rouge -- Satine was dying before Christian ever met her.
