I just got a notification in my email inbox! And yes I looked but haven't commented yet. You are so sweet *hugs*
NO YOU ♥
Btw I've been getting notifs of you mentioning me all over the place over time and I just think it is so cute. :)
Yes, but it started small (Buffybot in Bargaining and "I'll chop her into messes") and has grown from there to include Edvard Munch, and Sheila, and the notion of Dru and Buffy as "seers" but also women and madness in the verse, and - yeah. I'm beginning to think I'm biting off more than I can chew. Maybe I need to cut it in half or do it in parts.
GO FOR IT this sounds super interesting and like a facet that hasn't been explored a lot yet. Though Dru and Buffy have often been paralleled, but the focus on how they affected by Angelus/what role they played in relation to him. (I.e. Drusilla as a prototype for what he planned with Buffy in S2.) I'd really love to see a focus on them as "seers".
This is really a challenge for me because I'm used to writing metas, whereas picspam-metas are sort of new (I know they are pretty common on tumblr. Or maybe it's a generational thing?) The Buffy & Joyce one is nice but I'd been planning that for a while, and I thought it'd get more comments, actually. Maybe there need to be more words, more actual "meta" to generate conversation? IDK
Hmm, yeah, in my experience people mostly just make picspams or gifsets which then... get reblogged a lot. Occasionally someone will decide to meta based on them, sometimes entirely in the tags, but it seems pretty rare? But yeah, tumblr is originally an image blog site so it lends itself to that. Personally I do like a bit of written meta to go off of, otherwise I just tend to go "ohhh nice pictures". Oops.
