I read it and I love it. Buffy and Dru mirror each others in so many ways. In a way Dru is Buffy's negative. What she could have been in different circumstances.
Exacty. I was talking to itsnotmymind last year (just before the apartment fire I think - I started making Buffy - Dru pic spam and saved to the computer that burned up); about the parallels between Spike in School Hard as the leader of a gang and the demon gang leader in Bargaining and then the Dru-Buffy connection hit me very hard and I'd never noticed it before: Dru as Angel's "masterpiece", Buffy as Willow's "masterpiece" (for what greater achievement could there be than raising the dead? And if the show had been serious about Angelus, how much more likely that he would have tried to make Buffy his latest "masterpiece"?), how neatly Dru's "it's dark where the slayer is" fits Buffy in Bargaining; how they are both connected by Angel and Spike, both used abandoned by men who are drawn to them and claim to love them; both metaphorical mother-figures, both seers and "madwomen".

Your icons are very meta-ish.
Thank you sweetie. I actually do some things just for the prettiness! *lol* And sometimes my concepts get in the way of good design. My eyes icon for this catagory would have been more interesting as an essay because I was trying to make that little image convey too much - and make the viewer work too hard, I think. When I "get it right" it's terrific and I'll spend the rest of my life trying to "get it right"
