It reminds me of all the images of late 19th century symbolist and art nouveau depictions of women as dangerous, femme fatales who devour men, who shapeshift in to monsters. Unlike in some of my stories where pretty much anyone, either male or female, could potentially do that!
Hmm, I do see your point with the sexuality linked to evil/madess examples. Darn, and I thought Joss was better than that!
Well if for your Giles as Big Bad fic you're thinking of him as a sexual predator a la Ash Carpenter stories, it's in my head now and likely to get written. But without showing any actual icky predatory sex. Probably.
