Okay, you caught me, lol. But I agree with Angela, and that was my apparently not so subtle way of pointing it out.

What about Spander, or Spangel? Every time I hear those I think of Suspenders and Velvet Goldmine.

Oh it was a very good way to make a point

Very creative too.

Is it wrong that I'm totally on the Dike and Bike love trains just because of their names? and Ruffy...rawr!

You know what the sad thing is? I actually thought you were shortening actual 'ship names. Ugh.

*snerk* I'm totally with you on the suspenders, but I think Spangel sounds more like something you spread on a nice piece of toast.

And I'm with DS--I am TOTALLY on the Dike and Bike love train! I'm not certain exactly who they are, but I support 'em anyway!

See, I was actually quite prowd of coming up with Dike and Bike, and Ruffy and Candor, but sadly, such names as Spillow and Spanya and Spordy, I could swear I've actually seen around the net. Cangle Bangle and even Angdelia (sorry angdelia, personally you are a sweety) just rub me the wrong way.

That*clown · 04-09-2006, 11:39 PM

Yeah, Cangel finds that place in my filling that's not quite right and just starts vibrating it. But Ruffy and Bike? Yippy!

Jessica · 04-10-2006, 01:43 AM

Who am I shipping for if I'm shipping for Bike?

If Dike is is Dawn/Spike then what is Dru/Spike? Spu?

If a cangel mutates into a bangel and it's on your big toe than what happens when it grows into a wangel or even worse a gangel, lets not forget the dreaded prangel that creeps up disguised as the harmless langel that orginated in the fangel family of rikes.

This is like Dr Seuss on crack...

I guess there's not much to be done with Buffy/Xander. Xuffy doesn't even make sense phonetically. Bander, maybe?

I will add that, forgetting the fact that she was quite underage, Dike was actually somewhat appealing to me.

leobrat · 04-10-2006, 05:40 AM

You can Xuffy, and I've even heard of people (*coughmecough*) who have Xordy-ed. And then there's the large groups of people who have Xillowed and Xanya-ed.

But I have never understood the point of Xiking...

This is getting extremely silly...

I never liked Buffy and Spike together. I would have preferred they stay enemies. To me, Spike was better and so much cooler as a villain. When Buffy was with him, it was like she was degrading herself. It also came across like they were trying to recreate what they previously had with Angel and Buffy, that whole vampire/slayer forbidden love thing.

I would have liked for her to eventually wake up and realize that Xander was the right guy for Buffy all along. SMG and NB had proposed this for season seven, but Whedon shot their idea down.

i think i prefer 'spawn' over 'dike'

As the actual 'ship name, yes. As a joke, Dike would kick Spawn's scrawny and underaged ass. Think of the T-Shirts!

Cordy's Bitch · 04-10-2006, 02:06 PM

I will admit, I liked Spike/Buffy because those were some of the few scenes where I liked Buffy. Their back and forth, push/pull and their dialogue made Buffy somehow more palatable to me.

Because, really, I didn't like Buffy most of the time. I didn't think she was degrading herself. I do think that was what the writers wanted me to think. I guess because I sympathized/empathized more with Spike than Buffy.

After all, what guy hasn't pined after a girl who won't give him the time of day?

aikakone · 04-15-2006, 07:11 PM

Ah, how I hate those shortened ship names. They just irritate me. Thank you, especially PF, for brining the snark.

As for the original question, I liked both C/A and S/B, but not because it was convenient to do so, not by default. I just liked them.
