@fortes775 I hope all the life things you got done make it possible for you to have the time to do the other things you love (including writing). Adulting often has to take priority. That is true for most of us most of the time. Rest assured, we readers totally understand.

I hope this isn't weird to post here, but no updates from me today. All the life things got done this week, but the writing thing didn't happen, so regular service on Angel Doesn't Know will resume next week.

My headcanon about the Council is that it moved through empires and the British empire was simply the last one where it made a difference. Now you can easily move through the world without the backing of an empire and that's why they still are in England.

But local traditions being most of Slayer help until that era and then an erasure of those traditions and institutions makes sense too

@weallhavedemons yeah the origins are unaddressed. I’ve always suspected that the Council existed in some form but in different locations throughout history, only landing in Britain with the rise of colonialism and imperialism perhaps.

I agree that is fascinating to think about. The origins of The Council of Watchers isn’t discussed in the comics. Not even in Tales of the Slayers or Vampires. It isn’t answered in canon, but considering the pervasiveness of colonialism it could be a very,very, compelling story.

anyway, really fascinating to think about. in my memory, this isn't answered in show canon, but i am not sure about the comics.

@cawthraven Does canon say when the Council (as we know it- British ponces) was formed? If not, maybe it was formed when some Brit colonizer came across a slayer and her shadowmen and decided that the Brits should be the ultimate authority on slayers...and so the council was formed. Because control.

Hi, does anyone remember a fic where Buffy confronts her mom about being send to a mental institution back in LA, Buffy learns that her mom had slayer dreams too when she was younger because she was a potential but not knowing it she thought she was suffering from mental illness. Ring any bell?

Let's steer clear of discussing common errors in stories. These conversations can be disheartening. Our creators gift us with free entertainment that keep us engaged in Buffyverse, and that's precious.

@Sigyn, I'm so glad you sent me to your shared story. That was similar, but not what I read. It was just a few lines of text, and I think it was a stand-alone. Someone should do the same thing with viciously and viscously. I see that a lot, too, usually Spike doing something viscously.

But I gotta tell you, the hilarity did not continue, so you might be conflating it with someone else's story, or someone else told the same joke.

@swonderful, I don't know, but I did do an exquisite corpse chapter like that once. It was in... let me look.... exquisite consequences, part William.
