Fred/Gunn #25?

THIS IS VERY CUTE.

25. librarian/avid reader au

"More ballet books?" says the girl at the checkout desk. It's one of those things that would make Gunn bristle if it came from a dude, or maybe even also from a girl if she said it in the way that most people might, but this girl says it like she's just found out that puppies exist. "And this one's on Giselle! You're a man of taste, I see."

"Yeah, some buddies and I are going to see it--um--again," says Gunn, his cheeks heating up. Not the kind of thing he'd usually admit, but -- well, he likes her smile, and right now all he knows is that talking about ballet means she might smile more. It's worth a little bit of embarrassment if he gets to see her eyes sparkle. "Wanted a little more context. You have any recommendations?"

The girl gets up from her chair and dashes away. Nonplussed, Gunn stands, hoping, hoping -- and then she returns, arms full of books, a pen tucked behind her ear, and dumps the books down in front of him on the library counter. "So many," she says breathlessly. "I'm hardly a ballet aficionado by any means, but, well, I try to make sure that I'm well-versed in pretty much anything that anybody asks me about, otherwise how am I going to be an effective librarian? And I'm not completely up to date on all the things that I'd like to be, but I know a lot about ballet, and lethal weaponry in Ancient Rome, and poison dart frogs! Usually people don't ask about those things, and, well, you're the first person who has, and you've been getting lots of ballet books--um, not that I--I mean, I saw you getting the ballet books and I thought, hey, maybe he'd be helped out if the local librarian knew a thing or two about ballet books--but I'm not some kind of creepy stalker or anything, y'know, this is my day job, and oh my gosh why am I still talking?" she finishes, clapping her hands to her crimson face and dislodging the pen entirely.

Gunn catches it. He's pretty sure his smile can be seen from space. "I'm gonna read every single one of these," he says, "and I'm gonna come back and tell you what I think of all of them."

"I hope you like them!" the girl squeaks from behind her hands. Fred, says her nametag. Cutest name he's ever seen on a girl. Cutest face, too.

angel the series really decided to have their characters send off to a foreign dimension where cordelia was made a princess and wesley and gunn led a rebellion and angel couldn’t stop staring at his hair and numfar was doing the dance of joy while the btvs crew were fighting for their lives. and then it all went downhill for ats from there </3

#except for frunn they were perfect #lexbtvs #lexats #lexmulti

Charles Gunn... The Myth, The Legend, The Best of Us All

AKA: 5 things we can learn from Charles Gunn.

5. “I was cool before I met you all”, aka “Love yourself.”

I’m finally finishing this series. I didn’t know what to do, but I saw this scene from Waiting in the Wings making the rounds and I wanted to use this quote.

Gunn is endearingly unpretentious. He’s genuine, honest, direct. One of the many reasons why season 5 was a terrible idea was because of what they did to Gunn. Had Gunn ever truly been that insecure about himself? It felt like the writers were preying on the fact that he was a black man who fit all the stereotypes - he was uneducated, poor, had a former gang; naturally, all he wanted to be was a rich, white man, so he became a lawyer. That was a great disservice to his character. I don’t think Gunn ever expressed a desire to be an evil lawyer of all things. (I’m sure Wesley is to blame though, because he had power over Fred, so Gunn felt jealous. The reason why Gunn and Fred didn’t work out was because Gunn was too “vanilla” and not on Fred’s “level”. The whole thing with Frunn was rigged in Wesley’s favor.)

On the bright side, after Fred’s death he finally accepted himself, but I still don’t like that storyline. I want to write about post-season 4/5 Gunn.

There’s a sort of duality that the Angel characters had. Angel had his Angelus side, of course, but Angel himself had a lot of darkness; Wesley had a lot of darkness too, and that was hinted at from the beginning; Fred was both sweet and crazy; Lorne was nice and lovable, but always secretive and somewhat unreliable; and Cordelia... for a while she was as straightforward as Gunn.

Gunn didn’t exactly have a hidden side. His trauma with his sister and his past were known, he was well-adjusted and not likely to come undone like Fred or Wesley, all of his “darkness” was as transparent as his “light”. He embraced both his past and his present. He had skeletons in his closet, of course (he sold his soul for a truck), and shame and regrets, but that was just part of him.

The beauty of Gunn is that he was normal. There is always a “normal” character, and that character is often rather underappreciated. Gunn isn’t normal because he’s uninteresting, shallow, or average. He’s normal because his behavior and personality are consistent and balanced, because he speaks and carries himself more like a normal person would. He’s unrealistically brave, good, strong, funny, charismatic, attractive, etc. But he’s wholesome and approachable. Liking a character because they are normal often feels like a backhanded compliment, but why should it be? It’s the normal characters that have the power to inspire us, normal people, to do better; their real flaws or unsavory traits can help us self-reflect and become more understanding and compassionate of each other’s shortcomings.

Gunn is a great character, and J. August Richards did a lot of heavy lifting to make Gunn so tridimensional and complete.

I believe Gunn is inspiring. He’s realistic yet hopeful. He knows how to enjoy life when there isn’t much to enjoy. He knows how to let go of his past regrets and failures to move forward. He’s funny, polite, helpful, kind, always. He’s smart too. And he’s so consistent. People change, but why do we seem to change for the worst? We become bitter, less forgiving - or too forgiving to the point we forget to respect ourselves. But Gunn was never bitter and callous. He accepted that which he didn’t understand and focused only on what he could do. He believed he could only do so much and nothing more. He was just himself, a tiny speck in the universe, and he enjoyed it as much as he could.

He was so cool. Charles Gunn, you will always be cool. I wish to see the world the way he did. He embodied Angel’s message of hope. A core aspect of Angel’s messaging was that we do have the chance to make the world better, but we’re fighting a losing battle - the world will never truly improve in our life time, if ever, and there’s very little we can do about it - however, even if our efforts are in vain, they are not worthless. And Gunn always believed that. He always believed there was something he could do and that his actions mattered. And through everything he was just... himself. You can only truly be yourself if you know who you are and accept that person. The idea of Gunn being “himself” may seem separate from my point about him being “normal” and “whole” but it’s not. You can only be yourself, singular. Our many facets make up a whole, but we spend our entire lives trying to chip away at the bad bits and keep them separate from the rest. It’s impossible.

We must be our own best friends. I’m not saying this to be cheesy. I’m saying it because I need to hear it. I don’t know how to accomplish that. I don’t even believe I deserve it. But I want to be myself - as I deeply value my own identity - and stop trying to hold on to a past version of me I thought was normal. So, I need to be more like Gunn. I need to forgive and forget, to live with all of me. Gunn had many problems, and I’m not at all trying to paint him as the poster boy for self-love, but I believe he knew how to live with himself better than anyone else on that show - better even than Cordelia who sometimes just lived in denial. I admire that. He’s beautifully human. Only humans can see the world as it truly is, and the people in it, and still choose to cherish and protect it.

I'll be cruel and say no ties are allowed :) Here you go - Bangel, Cangel, Spuffy, Fresley, Frunn, Weslah, Willow/Oz, Willow/Tara, Xander/Cordelia, Xander/Anya, Giles/Jenny, Spike/Dru. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but have fun!

ooooh! Okay:

Cangel

Giles/Jenny (My lovely Calendiles gone too soon!)

Spuffy

Frunn

Fresley

Willow/Tara

Willow/Oz

AtS Challenge because I miss talking about this show! 1. How would you rank these core characters in order from your favorite to least favorite: Angel, Cordy, Wes, Gunn, Fred, Doyle, Lilah, Lorne? 2. Your 1-2 favorite canon romantic ATS ships? 3. Any NON-canon romantic ships you would have wanted to see? 4. Your three favorite friendship duos (so like Cordy/Wes, Fred/Angel, etc.?!) 5. What order would you rank the five seasons in? 6. Any UOs about the show?! Enjoy!!!

1 - Wes, Lilah, Cordy, Fred, Gunn, Angel, Lorne, <Big empty gap>, Doyle 2 - Weslah and Frunn, since canon gave us not much else that was good 3 - Wesley/Faith, Kate/Angel 4 - Cordy & Wes, Cordy & Wes & Angel, Lorne & Angel 5- Season 4, Season 5, Season 3, Season 1, Season 2 6 - Season 4 wasn't actually that bad, indeed, as you can see above, it had a metric ton of good stuff too, for all that it had a big glaring problem. Relatedly, "the assassination of Cordelia Chase" argument is absolute nonsense, and while I don't like what happened to her character, the rhetoric discussing this plot point is hyperbolic to the point of absurdity in most cases.

Thanks for the ask, anon!

hi again! we seem to have pretty similar rankings (though it has been awhile since i have watched/just recently getting back into the fandom)! what about for ships from angel and non canon ones you enjoy? :)

Okay, cool. Well welcome back :)

ATS

I love Fred/Gunn. I haven’t actually rewatched ATS in a while so maybe if I did my opinions would change, but for a time frunn was my favorite canon ship in the whole buffyverse.

I also really liked Wesley/Lilah and Darla/Angel as storylines but I wouldn’t say I ship them.

Non-Canon

I’m basically into any femslash ship lol, but my favorites go…

1. Buffy/Faith

2. Buffy/Kendra

3. Willow/Faith

4. Buffy/Cordelia

5. Buffy/Darla

6. Faith/Kendra

#anon #I also post a lot about spangel #but I don’t really ship them I’m more of an ally to those that do #??

Do you ship Willow with anyone other than Tara (BtVS)? What are your top 3 ships for the show?

I will always and forever ship her with Oz as well as Tara. Her and Oz had a really amazing chemistry that while I wish we got to see more of, I am also happy that she got to be with Tara as well.

Top BtVS ships:

#1: Spander. No surprise there, my favourite ship of any fandom, ever. It was my first real foray into fandom and watching Nicky Brendon read a Spander fic live on his FB was one of the most horrifying hilarious experiences I’ve had in this fandom.

#2: Willow/Tara. I adored them from the start and to this day I will cry during Seeing Red. They’re far from perfect and I wish we got to see a bit more of Tara, but solidly my #2.

#3 Fred/Gunn. FRED DESERVED BETTER. I will shout this from the rooftops, they did this ship dirty. I loved their entire dynamic and if folks have some good fic recs, please do send them to me.
