Pondering on a rainy day

samsomKnow what I don't get?
Those "no apologies" icons.
I mean, I get the ones for Buffy or Spike or Xander - these characters tend to be controversial in their own way. So when I see "Buffy fan. No Apologies." or "Spike fan. No apologies." I get it. People tend to either hate or love or love them.
But what I don't get are the "Faith fan. No Apologies." icons. When did anyone ever have to apologize for loving Faith? And are there fans out there that hate her? I don't hang out at every Buffyverse comm, but I think I would have run across it at some point over the last....dear God, eight years?
Or "Angel-loving Spuffy." I've seen those too. I didn't know being a Spuffy meant you hated Angel, so that you needed a declaration of the opposite if you didn't.
Just something that's always puzzled me.
And it makes me wonder if I need a "Cordelia fan. No Apologies." icon as well. Then again that would be like acknowledging that some people hate Cordy, and those people are pretty much dead to me anyway, so I guess I don't need it after all.

It's sick of me to say but I really loved the chemistry between Wes and Faith during the torture scene. *cringes*

I think a part of why I loved Faith so much was BECAUSE she was the anti-Buffy. It was just so interesting...and she got under B's skin, which was amusing to watch. Then again I'm conflicted because I can totally imagine and adopt Cordy reaction - pinched nose, grimacing lips and total disapproval of all that leather. As for the chap she's in love with? Well, he looks a whole lot different in leather... :p It's like denim! You don't wear a denim jacket with denim jeans, it just looks tacky. Same goes for leather.
My GOD, I talk a lot...
