Buffy's Mystery Neighbor?

[fenderlove]

So... Buffy's mystery neighbor is named Heinrich, right? Isn't the Master's real name Heinrich Joseph Nest (from Whedon's notes in the script for the pilot of BtVS)? Well... Oh, this is either going to be popcorn hilarious or downright disturbing, isn't it?

*grabs popcorn*

Oh crap. I hadn't thought of that.

Also .... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

It's the kind of thing that if you think about it too hard that one vomits into one's own stomach (at least to me it feels that way). It's all going to turn out to be some kind of high-larious pregnancy buddy comedy, like Knocked Up or Baby Mama. *head-desk*

Where Joss and magical offspring are concerned, it's always a safe bet to go with 'disturbing'.

I watched Cannibal Ferox the other day, and I'm quite certain that the comics are going to be more disturbing than that... And that's saying something about the steady decline of the Buffyverse. O_O

I am SO hoping it will be the Master, because that would just make this the ultimate crackfic. But I bet Joss doesn't remember the Master's name.

You know what would be a better story than the one people are getting? The Master finally free from the Spanish mission near the Hellmouth only to wind up with no place to go... so he moves into a studio apartment in San Francisco in a complex filled with hip young people. That would be hilarious. I'm picturing Mark Metcalf pulling that off so wonderfully. Of course, I don't know if it would be funny if the Master would be human or still a vampire. But I'm also imagining the disturbing mental image of drunk!Buffy falling all over him saying, "Don't you know? Every vampire that poses the biggest threat to me gets a free pass! Let's do this! *hic*"

Joss probably doesn't remember that he ever named the Master, which like he doesn't remember the entirety of Season 1's plot. Master is trying to get out the Spanish mission, not the Hellmouth. He spends the whole frickin' half-season trying to get free. The Master claims vampires have souls. The Master gets dusted to nothing but bones. In an alternate reality in which Buffy never came to Sunnydale, the Master would have risen in Season 1 to open up a blood factory. Those are things that are not easy to forget... yet Whedon did (along with Warren being dead and all).

Someone pointed out elsewhere that the note neighbor Heinrich sent with the flowers said "Thanks for the invite." SUGGESTIVE Y/N?

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Depends on if it was a invite to her party... or an invite into her panties. Ewwwwwww. I'm so squicked out right now!

[rahirah]

Party. BUT STILL.

It's so Joss's level of creepy.

Please write the above scenario you imagined. As for me, I am now making this my new mental crack!fic: The Master in a block of flats filled with OC type youngsters.

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna do it! XD

I <3 you :>>

Plus the Master bit Buffy and biting is a metaphor for sex, so it makes perfect sense that Buffy would sleep with him! PlannedfromthebeginningJossisamasterofstorytellingcraft!

Or so some people will claim should this actually happen.

When will people learn that just because someone throws in so many different elements into 8+ years of plot and thus can pick and choose randomness out of no where does not equal GENIUS. Whedon and George Lucas are part of the same cloth- both try to pull threads into new storylines from old ones, but only succeed in effing up their continuity.

I haven't ever read an episode of the Buffy comic, and doubt I ever will, but picturing Buffy's new neighbour as TM is my new favourite personal crack!fic. As you know, canon is just so much rubbish to me (hey, I'm like Joss Weadon!), so even if this isn't what happens in the comic, it is now my mental 'canon'.

I want to write a fic about it from TM's POV.

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

I should write that crack!fic. It would be magical.

Do you know what's happened to WeinerDogsMama? Did I miss something in my two months without internet?

[kidcyclone.livejournal.com]

She hasn't responded yet to my PM's. :( I'm going to try emailing her. I hope everything is okay with her. She's such a great writer and cool person. *sends her good vibes*

[kidcyclone.livejournal.com]

And yes, you SHOULD write that crackfic. Write it!! :D As torture, Buffy could be forced to eat petrified sweets from TM's candy dish and look through the photo albums. I am sure TM has lots of photo albums chronicling his children and grand/great/great-great/etc grandchildren (bonus: a photo of William in a snowsuit! :D)
