Buffy and Romance (Spoiler for Issue 12)

[white avenger]

I'll go with the one night stand, and things don't look good for Satsu in the long life department.

Concerning my comment on that post: In case anybody is wondering, I have no idea whatsoever what "Somfar," means or where it came from. I can only attribute it to the mythical "ghost in the machine."

I havn't read any of the comics yet. They arn't out for sale (yet) here in Holland. But the idea of Buffy sleeping with a woman doesn't bother me at all.. All that bothers me about it is that it is this girl and not Faith (a).. I'm a huge fuffy shipper (I hope no one has problems with this, if they have just say so and i wont talk about it again).

Okay so while I was reading this I was just thinking WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON! But then I thought about for a while and I kind of get that Buffy is lonely and needs someone and since she knew that Satsu had feelings for her she went for it, but I feel kind of bad for Satsu. Am I the only one? Because I mean I don't think that Joss suddenly turned Buffy gay after seven seasons, but she still slept with Satsu. I think that Buffy took advantage of Satsu's feelings and I think Satsu is going to get hurt if not physically emotionally. And to answer the question I would have to go with number one because I don't see this happening again anytime soon.

I think it will turn out to be a one night stand but i'm praying for a long term relationship.

I really like satsu and looking back at buffy's lovers satsu seems like the most suited to me.

I'm not really sure about this, I mean I don't want Buffy to go gay for the storyline after so many years of being the straight gal.

But then again this has the potential to be a much better relationship for her than her previous ones, Satsu loves her and that goes a long way to being a good base of emotional support and security. Something shes been lacking all this time having to carry the burden of being the leader.

Twilight made a point of trying to take her moral certainty from her, if anything I see Satsu bringing her more confidence in herself and her role.

I'll wait and see how this plays out, but right now I'm hoping Satsu sticks around and this storyline does go somewhere.

Certainly not. In one sense, the "bedroom invasion" sequence is funny as hell, but looking at it in depth, it's downright painful. I mean, Satsu has kept her feelings hidden for however long she's been with Buffy's team, and obviously had no intention of letting even Buffy know, and now here in one fell swoop, everybody knows. Not to mention being caught at the worst possible time. Her first night with the person she loves, someone who's already not sure if there could ever be a real relationship between the two of them, but who's not completely turned off by the thought, either, and then the entire circus shows up in their bedroom. ouch... If she turns out to be the traitor/mole/whatever, she'll be the most sympathetic one I've ever seen.

I am just hoping Buffy's theory isn't true... That anyone that loves her dies or goes away. I like Satsu and I want to see how these turn of events play out, even if they never 'get together', it'd be interesting to see their relationship grow, or even fall apart. I dunno, I just don't want them to get rid of Satsu lol
