This is actually my first attempt at stranded knitting! Turns out it's way easier than it looks. Also this pattern is free! This is maybe the coolest free pattern I've ever found

angel's redemption arc has one big flaw and that's drusilla. not because I think he can't be redeemed after what he did to her but because the narrative doesn't acknowledge it beyond s2 of btvs. and I honestly don't understand why. why introduce a vampire who as a girl was tortured by angel, why draw parallels between her and buffy and then never make angel reflect on the awful things he did to her?? drusilla should've hunted the narrative of ats and yet she's barely there when she's actually there. it's a very weird writing decision.

drusilla btvs buffy the vampire slayer

niche trope I enjoy: person recounting a story of something terrible they did and the way they describe it makes it sound like an active decision where they were completely in control and knew what they were doing and enjoyed it, but if you look at the bare bones facts, it's like. are you sure about that? are you sure you didn't just panic and lash out and do something irreparable? are you sure that's what you wanted and you aren't just retroactively assigning yourself agency to cope? but you as the audience can't really know the answer to that, because the storyteller is the only one who was there and this is how they're choosing to preserve it, and that matters for how they want to be perceived going forward... but you do still wonder.

some tags aren't quite getting my vibe: to me this specific thing isn't quite about characters who go "it was all my fault and I deserve whatever happens to me for it" when they weren't even really responsible, this is about characters twitching and pulling a trigger and getting very "...yes I meant to kill them and it was the right move and I'm very cool and calculating so you should all tremble before me" sunk cost fallacy about it. less "I'm the worst :(" and more "I'm the worst >:] ." different guyotype.
