That thing where everyone is saying how Buffy changed their life?
I don't know where to start saying that thing.
Fandom changed my life. Fandom *is* my life. Buffy fandom contributed a lot of specifics.
But mostly it just quietly settled in to being the thing everything else in my head is linked to.
It's like saying how a skeleton or a spinal cord changed my life. It's just there in the middle of it connecting everything.



which is obviously why I'm watching DS9 today instead.

... actually, yeah, because when a show is memorised and internalised and rewritten into my Endless MarySue Epic of Dooooooom then rewatching it? Less frequently necessary.

Also I never want Buffy to get that squeezed lemon feeling that can happen when I rererewatch specific eps too often.



I can draw a pretty straight line between watching Buffy and studying for a degree right now. All those academic books and the UEA conference and stuff. That's a pretty huge change. Buffy made me think.
