Quick Penguin Break

[beer_good_foamy]

In Heat

"Kaaaark!" Angel cried as he caught sight of Buffy. It was true. It was really her. His one foretold love, the one he was fated to be with. The one he'd stomped on so many eggs to win. As he slowly waddled across the ice towards her, he could feel warmth spreading within him.

Buffy cocked her head, regarding him with a slightly worried look. "Kaaa?"

Angel shouted a triumphant "Kaaaar-aaark!" as the heat in his loins kept building, the warm glow of his destiny, the hot flame of his desire. It felt like he was flying across the ice towards Buffy, seeing her as through a haze of - hang on. That's not haze, that's steam. "Oh... Kark." He'd barely gotten the curse out before the ice melted under his hot, glowing feet and he plummeted into the icy cold ocean beneath.

Buffy put her flipper to her forehead, slowly shook her head and sighed. "Karaar."

How much do I love you?

EVIL PENGUINS!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

I never trusted them. Flightless, tuxedo-wearing little bastards, they're like tiny frozen Bond villains.

Thanks! :-)

[mrs-underhill.livejournal.com]

Yeah! See what those penguin bastards can do:

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Yup. And they occasionally go insane too. Clearly, you need to really watch yourself around penguins.

[mrs-underhill.livejournal.com]

And how can we forget this one!

[eilowyn.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, the penguin AU becomes more and more plausible.


I love my fandom faction. It resorts to penguins in times of trouble and doubt.

Yes. Totally agreed.

*needs to load that penguin icon*

After giant robots, centaurs, and vamp!Hello Kitties, they seem perfectly normal to me.

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

LOL! Awesome

*and addition is now in the original thread*

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

Heee! And then their stormy penguin passion melted the polar cap, and the world turned into the "Waterworld" - but who cares? Theirs was a special destiny, the rest was unimportant!

[eilowyn.livejournal.com]

So Angel's penguin special-ness is melting the polar ice caps? Someone should tell Al Gore.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

I should've known Angel was responsible for Waterworld. And here I was blaming Kevin Costner this entire time...

[gillo]

Wasn't Joss involved somewhere in Waterworld?

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Yup. He was a "script doctor" (or as some call it, an "arc welder") which basically means he tried to edit the script to introduce some semblance of plot and write some snappy dialogue.

MAL REYNOLDS KEVIN COSTNER: This is my boat. I got it the way I like it. You take up space and you slow me down.

Anyone who's actually sat through Waterworld knows how well he succeeded. Though obviously, it was an impossible task.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

HA! That's brilliant, Joss is uniting all his stories into one big 'verse. Now all we need is for Buffy to make out with the big bad, like Ripley at the end of Alien: Resurrection.

...Oh. Nevermind.

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Kaaar-aark!!

[hkath.livejournal.com]

BWAH! You just made it all better, right there :D

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Everything's always better with penguins. Thanks!

[gabrielleabelle.livejournal.com]

Win. ♥

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Hey, it was your comment that inspired it - YOU win! We all win! \o/

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

I kept waiting for the sparkles...

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but sparkling tuxedoes went out with the 80s. Say what you want about penguins, but they have impeccable style.

[gillo]

Penguins do not sparkle. TRUFAX.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Neither did Buffyverse vampires 48 hours ago. :-P

[elisi]

Penguins of win pwn comics of doom! \o/

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Penguins of win

Is there any other kind? :-) Thanks!

[quinara]

\o/

Poor Penguin!Buffy always falls for the wrong guys.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Well, in her defense, this time she never even got a chance to fall or not fall for him. Something tells me that her reaction to a glowing penguin with egg on his feet running up to her and kaaaarking about destiny might not have impressed her much. :-)

[shapinglight]

Hee! Funny!

Don't have a penguin icon so an owl will have to do.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Awww, he looks so snuggly. And possibly slightly stoned. "Dude... what are those penguins doing?!?"

[shapinglight]

I think owls are permanently stoned. You'd have to be if your neck rotated the full 360.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Who knew that penguins could bring us so much delight ? We even weren't aware of them one week ago!

I believe your post is the best thing coming from the latest comics issue. :)

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

And now, it's officially the Penguin the Herring Slayer fandom. :-D

I believe your post is the best thing coming from the latest comics issue. :)

Thanks a lot, but let's give fandom a chance. This storyline promises to be a never-ending font of crack - and since it's so insane to begin with, just imagine what people will have to do to make fun of it! I think pretty soon, we're going to look back and think penguin!fic was the fandom's last attempt at relative normality.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

I'm all about giving fandom plenty of chances. I think what happened in the comics looks so insane that it has become utterly entertaining and we haven't seen the end of the fun yet. :-)
Maybe we will remember penguin!fic with fondness then..

[mrs-underhill.livejournal.com]

Ah-ha-ha, that's perfect!
I like this Buffy better.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

ICON!

I loved how TV!Buffy was never less impressed than when someone told her something was written/fated/destined to happen.

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

I had this big long comment typed out and then LJ ate it so I will just say what I always say to you...

YOU, SIR, ROCK.

Not much more can be said. In times of trouble, trust you to bring the lulz. And bring them oh so well.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Kaaaaaark! *waddles around in appreciative circles*

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

Next time, I'm just commenting with a bucket of fish.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

I completely withdraw my belief that the penguin fic genre was sadly past its prime. Truly, penguins make anything better. Fandom needs penguins.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

There is no bad with penguins. Well, except the evil or clinically depressed ones, but that just makes them an even more Buffy-like substitute for... certain other stories.

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

So loaded this icon the other day thinking "Well, I'll get maybe a day or two of use out of it"...

Honestly, the penguins make more sense than the comics when you come right down to it!

Buffy put her flipper to her forehead, slowly shook her head and sighed. "Karaar."

That is so Buffy!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

So loaded this icon the other day thinking "Well, I'll get maybe a day or two of use out of it"...

I think we're going to have to set up separate archives, LJ comms etc for the penguin fandom soon. Clearly, it's not going anywhere.

That is so Buffy!

Thanks!

[sam-arkand.livejournal.com]

Actually, he was probably taken down by one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotheaded_Naked_Ice_Borer

And I can see Penguin!Buffy "beak-flipping" like that. I assume she slays undead seals.

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

I hadn't actually heard of those. But yeah, that's definitely it. Thanks!
