And if the show had been serious about Angelus, how much more likely that he would have tried to make Buffy his latest "masterpiece"?
Personally I was thinking about that. Buffy was going to become Dru 2.0 in Angelus' mind, but she saved herself. It would be interesting to explore Dru as a mirror: Dru as the woman who didn't save herself. 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".
The Dark Princess and the Golden Warrior-Goddess.
OH GAWD THIS. Parallels are life, honestly. The possible scenarios are interesting and it could be interesting to explore the further connections in fics. (I'm thinking about my story Shanshu, my darkest one. I made Buffy kill Dru as a first act of her destruction of Angel ... sorry, my mind races) Thank you sweetie. I actually do some things just for the prettiness! *lol* And sometimes my concepts get in the way of good design.
Prettyness is so important and pretty icons are so precious, but you often get that.
