Who watches this Watcher?
We do!
Admit it. You like Wesley, don't you? You thought that, when
he was on Buffy, he was adorably ineffective. And now that he's on
Angel . . . well, he's still adorable, just slightly more effective.
But it's not cool to admit it, is it? You would commit ritual seppuku
(oh, look it up) before you'd tell your fellow Buffsters that you love Wesley
to bits. You want to speak up every time some nasty, vindictive
Doyle fan makes a snide comment about our boy replacing Doyle, but you don't
bother because no one would listen. After all, no one else likes Wesley.
You're alone in your geekage.
Right?
Wrong!
Guess what? It's okay! It's okay to confess that your heart leaps
just a little whenever he gets onscreen, and that you can't decide whether
he's yummier in the above tux or in his Angel debut leather, and that you
share his love of Gallagher! (Okay, so I may be alone on that
last one.)
And guess what else? If you aren't necessarily a Wesley/Cordelia shipper
just 'cause Joss says . . . that's okay too! You can be Willow/Wesley
shipper, a Giles/Wesley, Buffy/Wesley, or join me in my solitary but passionate
love of Ethan/Wesley! It's okay to defy canon! Deviate from the
norm!
What's that? Prove it, you say? Okay, fine. I will.
