Hurt & Comfort Book 2: Circumstantially Hurt © 2002-2021 MultiMapper All Rights Reserved Chapter 1: Approaching Moonlight A lone figure sat beside the window, observing the sunset outside while a similar fading light was being felt in his own heart. The faint impression of the full moon could just be seen in the darkening sky. The soft melody of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata started to play in the background, filling the darkening room with music that oddly fit the atmosphere. A song for the approaching moonlight. Thoughts of all that he had lost filled his mind as tears started streaming down his face. His true love, the center of his life, his best friend, was gone... forever. As the music eventually ended, and restarted, the shifting light of the sunset glittered on a shard of broken glass laying on the carpet. He picked up a piece of glass near his feet, a result of his outburst earlier in the evening, looking into it, he saw a stranger. He closed his eyes, unwilling to look into his reflection. Everything would be all right, he told himself. Everything would be all right. When the music eventually ended he weakly lifted his hand and removed his glasses. A blast of red light shot through the broken window and streaked across the approaching night. Then the blast of light became fainter and fainter until it ceased to be. The light from the full moon cast an eerie glow into the room, across the broken glass, the carpet soaking in blood and still dripping from the wrist of the limp form in the chair... * * * * * Professor Xavier was sitting in his study, looking over some reports when he was assaulted by a wave of grief so strong that it was almost a physical force. //Scott! Scott! Answer me!// He called out telepathically but got no response... not even a presence. He had only an instant to decide what to do and made his way as quickly as possible to Cerebro. He entered the room, silently damning the need for security and hoping the lost moment for the optic scan wasn't the crucial one to save Scott from oblivion. [It's not like it's stopped anyone who wanted to get in.] He put on the helmet and forced his way through the start-up sequence, frantically searching for Andrew and Hank. //Andrew, Hank. Come back to the mansion immediately. Scott needs help NOW!// He sent with more force than he intended. * * * * * "Do... do I know you?" Tara asked in a timid, fearful voice. "No... It's a long story and not important right now." Andrew said, shaken to the core to see the woman that Warren had killed standing alive before him. "Tara, gather your things and we'll take you someplace safe. Then we can decide what to do next... Okay?" Hank asked in his gentle way. "Okay." Tara mumbled and started to gather some things from around the room. //Andrew, Hank. Come back to the mansion immediately. Scott needs help NOW!// Both Hank and Andrew fell to their knees, clutching their heads at the booming voice. Andrew reacted immediately and ignoring the power required, opened a portal directly to Scott's room at the mansion. He stumbled through the portal and landed on his knees beside the chair where Scott sat, unconscious. A moment later Hank walked through the portal, cradling a frightened Tara close to his chest. {Scott.} Andrew rasped in a hoarse whisper. There was no response and Andrew instinctively let loose a small flux of power to see the unseen and try to understand what was wrong. In an instant he knew. Andrew raised a shaking hand to the portal to draw the power back into himself. Then to the shock of Hank and Tara he spread his arms and the room changed around them. They found themselves standing in the same room, but different. Hank immediately ran to the dying form of Scott Summers and started evaluating his condition. "Tara, bring me that sheet, we have to stop this bleeding." Hank said, now in full doctor mode. Tara did as she was told and brought the sheet from the bed. A few quick rips could be heard as Hank muttered, "It isn't enough, I have to get him to MedLab now." He lifted Scott's unmoving form from the chair and asked, "Andrew, can you do it?" Andrew felt wetness on his upper lip but ignored it and responded by lowering his arms and closing his eyes. Hank was shocked when he saw Scott still sitting unconscious in the chair beside him, as well as in his arms. Andrew made a growl in his chest as a vortex appeared above the occupants of the room. With a jerk of his arms and a grunt of effort, the vortex moved down to engulf all of them and suddenly they were all in the MedLab, as was Scott's chair and table. Hank turned in time to see Andrew drop to his knees, then collapse unconscious. Then he noticed blood flowing from Andrew's nose to puddle on the floor. //Professor, I need help.// Hank thought frantically as he carried the bleeding Scott to a bed. A moment later Ororo, Piotr, and Bobby ran into the MedLab as Kurt appeared in a ::BAMF::. "Piotr, get Scott to a bed... Bobby and Kurt, get Andrew. Orroro, Tara, come here. I have to perform surgery on these veins or we're going to lose him." Hank said. //Just think what you need and I'll coordinate, it will be faster.// The professor sent from the Cerebro chamber. * * * * * The professor had relayed Bobby and Piotr's observations of Scott and Andrew to Hank while Hank was working furiously to repair enough damage to keep blood in the other Scott's body.

Series creator Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More Whedon wrote, directed and composed the music for this episode in which a mysterious force impels the Scooby Gang with Feeling burst into song. Even Buffy devotees may be hard-pressed to find an episode as off-the-wall as this, as Sunnydale denizens Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More players in production numbers in which cast members do their own vocals. Hear Tara sing about her love for Willow! See Xander and Anya perform a duet! Listen to Buffy croon about her lack of life direction! Who's behind the music? Dawn provides the key. Buffy is patrolling in a cemetery at night, but there is something wrong with her and with demons and vampires she meets: they are all singing and dancing. Buffy sings about her life after resurrecting, and the way she feels detached from it. The following morning, the Scoobies reunite at the Magic Box and find out such things have happened to them all. They further learn that it's not just happened to them; all the people in Sunnydale are Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More to sing about their inner feelings, as a group nearby performs about cleaning mustard out of a shirt "The Mustard". Willow and Tara leave the discussion to enjoy the day, and Tara sings a love song to Willow about the difference she's made in her life, which leads them to their bedroom "Under Your Spell".

  • Just One Kiss
    Just One Kiss Dawn Summers, sister to a Slayer, Key to God-knows-where portals, survivor of Sunnydale, hung up the phone and looked nervously around her bedroom. Well, not really bedroom - the room she was currently inhabiting in the motel that they were staying in, while Giles tried to find them a place to live. After the ‘End of Sunnydale’, as they had taken to calling it, and the deaths of some missed (Anya) and not so missed by anyone but one of the countless Slayers (Spike) people, they had all decided to stick together and continue to fight. Well, Buffy and Giles had decided to move to the new Hellmouth. Xander had shrugged. He had fought, or at least tried to fight, this long and wasn’t going to give up now. Andrew had decided to join them, figuring he could always go to college whereever they turned up – his SAT scores were so astronomically high he was looking at a free ride. Besides, he still felt he owed penance for his actions while with the Trio, and had become firm friends with Xander – once he had realized that, like Larry, he would have no chance of a romantic relationship with the one-eyed ex-carpenter. Willow, her pride in her spell that released all the potentials at an all time high, was the most eager to continue the fight. It had been another quiet conversation, when the others were all doing ‘something’ else, that had given Dawn the courage to action ‘The Plan’. She had asked him why he was still there, what reason he would have to put up with the crap he still got from his so-called-friends, who treated him like a doormat.

  • Joss's Jesus: Christ-Figures in the Whedonverses
    Joss’s Jesus: Christ-figures in the Whedonverses Joss’s Jesus: Christ-figures in the Whedonverses Melody Cook Deans’ Distinguished Essay Award recipient Abstract In the fifth season finale ofBuffy the Vampire Slayer (2001), Buffy sacrifices herself to save her sister (and the world) by leaping into a portal with her arms outstretched. In the final scenes of The Cabin in the Woods (2012), Marty refuses to die in order to save the world, instead watching as it crumbles around him. In the former, Buffy is an obvious Christ-figure, while in the latter Marty subverts the trope in his refusal to be a sacrifice. This paper explores the prevalence, meaning, and evolution of the Christ-figure trope in the works of Joss Whedon. Drawing from research in the fields of both Whedon studies and religion and popular culture, I define and set parameters for identifying Christ-figures before exploring the use of the Christ-figure in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Finally, I briefly reflect on the question, what can we learn from the conflicted religiosity of the Whedonverses?. Middle Tennessee State University 19 Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research he field of Whedon Studies is dedicated to the academic study of the films, television series, and comic books written, directed, produced,T and/or created by Joss Whedon, including such works as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and Marvel’s The Avengers. A significant number of books, articles, and conference papers focus on the works of Whedon. Whedon Studies scholar Rhonda Wilcox has coined the term “Whedon- verses” to describe Whedon’s variety of works.

I have merely transcribed what appeared on my screen, with help from the closed captions. Nomar the Wonder Kitty also helped, mostly by attacking the keyboard cable. Please feel free to link to this transcript. Please do not redistribute it, or post it on a website (other than the Psyche transcript site), without first emailing me. There were several instances during this episode where a line of dialogue was heard but did not appear in the closed captions. I have indicated this in the transcript by using underlines. I do this because I consider it interesting. If you don’t, please accept my apologies. I also apologize in advance for my lame transcription of the fight scenes.

  • Patriarchy Strikes Back: Power and Perception in Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    PATRIARCHY STRIKES BACK: POWER AND PERCEPTION IN BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Nadine Farghaly A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2009 Committee: Maisha Wester, Advisor Piya Pal Lapinski © 2006 Nadine Farghaly All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Maisha Wester, Advisor Primetime heroine Buffy Summers conquered the hearts of layman and scholars alike. For years audience members have debated about almost everything that happens in Buffy the Vampire Slayer; from opening credits to wardrobes over music choices to gender issues. This thesis focuses on patriarchal power structures inside Buffy the Vampire Slayer. On the surface, BtVS proposes all the ingredients for a truly matriarchal show; it could have been the perfect series to offer a glimpse at what a female-dominated society could look like. Unfortunately, however, the series’ creator, Joss Whedon, fails to create a female character liberated from patriarchal influences. He not only reintroduces patriarchal figures and apparatuses again and again, but he also constrains his heroine to adopt the same power structures his male characters employ. Despite the fact that almost every member of the patriarchy embodies certain flaws, that make it possible to partially dismantle their authority, Whedon continues to introduce these problematic figures. This thesis illustrates how patriarchal institutions and their members assert power over the female body in BtVS by synthesizing examples from both the television series and the graphic novel series with the critical cultural theories of Michel Foucault, Max Weber, and John Bowlby. iv To my Scoobies—you know why… v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank all the people who dedicated hours of their life helping me when I was ready to give up and whose presence has enriched my stay in the United States beyond my expectations.

    ABSTRACT CULTURAL MANSTERS By: Andrew Ross Wells April 2017 Director of Thesis: Beth Blake School of Art and Design: Painting and Drawing This document is written in support of the thesis exhibition, Cultural Mansters, which represents and supports the idea of using satire and non-threatening imagery as tools to create a discourse on sociopolitical topics. By placing innocent, furry, and cute characters in situations that closely resemble the harsh realities of people who live in the United States, I am creating a platform on which to discuss the social, political, economic practices that have slowly led us to where we are now.
