Clarification

Clarificationby Red Wolf

"Spike." Dawn had her lip locked in full pout, it might have worked if Spike wasn't studiously ignoring her. "Can I borrow your duster?"

"Don't have a duster, love."

Dawn's pout was replaced by confusion. "Yeah, you do. It's hanging by the door."

Spike looked up at last. "That is a coat."

"Buffy said it was a duster."

"Pet, a duster is what guys wear in cowboy movies. You'd do well to remember that Buffy has no concept of pop culture pre-90s and shouldn't be trusted on anything that doesn't involve killing things."

"Okay. So, can I borrow your coat?"

I loved this. Good point to make... — via LiveJournal — posted by Jane Davitt at 09.07.2004 17:57 AEST | #
I expect Dawn will get the point, Buffy never will — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.07.2004 17:58 AEST | #

So true! Glad to have that clarified finally! — via LiveJournal — posted by Jessica at 09.07.2004 18:01 AEST | #

Very cute. I love your Dawn/Spike stuff so much — via LiveJournal — posted by Kristi at 09.07.2004 18:02 AEST | #
I'm so pleased. Notice that Dawn never got her answer. I expect she either got her way or Spike ended up banging his head against the wall in frustration. Possibly both — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.07.2004 18:03 AEST | #
I noticed this and I'm betting both happened. Dawn got her way and Spike ended up banging his head against the wall — via LiveJournal — posted by Kristi at 09.07.2004 18:04 AEST | #
I am deeply, deeply amused. And startled. Buffy — not the only one ignorant of that fact. Nice one! — via LiveJournal — posted by Willa at 09.07.2004 19:31 AEST | #
Just a personal bugbear. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in the fandom who ever grew up watching westerns. Sergio Leone and the amazing Ennio Morricone, rock my world. John Wayne, on the other hand, should be hung, drawn and quartered. Hack — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.07.2004 19:32 AEST | #
I love the way you write these two and their interactions! — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 09.07.2004 19:32 AEST | #
Thanks. The muse has been kind to me with Spike and Dawn. ::pats muse:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.07.2004 19:33 AEST | #
Lol. Funny, like stubborn Dawn. So, it is not a duster? Then why do writers keep calling it a duster? — via LiveJournal — posted by Leni at 09.07.2004 19:33 AEST | #
Because, like Buffy they have no knowledge of westerns to have ever seen or know what a duster is.

As far as I can tell it was never mentioned in canon (some transcriber for season 6 and 7 insists on incorrectly calling it a duster, but that doesn't count) and was completely made up and perpetuated by fanfic writers — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.07.2004 19:34 AEST | #
Very nice, always a point that confused me. Duster? Coat?

BTW, this is Distant Image from ff.net. You commented on one of my drabbles and said to come here ^_^ Here I am! — via LiveJournal — posted by anythingbutfait at 09.07.2004 19:35 AEST | #
The term duster is fanon, not canon and it has always irked me because it is wrong.

Nice to see you drop by LJ. This is always a fun community, try Word of the Day 100 too, or both check the home pages for both the communities for a list of other drabbling communities. Hope to see more drabbles for you — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.07.2004 19:38 AEST | #
You know, I had this same exact argument with my friend. o_o But I still forever call it a duster, because duster sounds a thousand times cooler than coat. Bwahaha — via fanfiction.net — posted by Radia at 13.07.2004 15:44 AEST | #
Yeah! That's right! Spike wouldn't be caught dead in cowboy gear. ;-P

Luv it! — via LiveJournal — posted by Murielle at 13.07.2004 15:49 AEST | #
Spike wouldn't be caught dead in cowboy gear

I don't know... Tombstone had great costuming and Sergio Leone's films are perfection. Probably better to visualise Clint Eastwood than John Wayne — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 13.07.2004 15:50 AEST | #
I don't know... Spike in a poncho? Not even in the sixties. ;-)) But, yeah, more Clint than John... Maybe Gary Cooper? — via LiveJournal — posted by Murielle at 13.07.2004 15:51 AEST | #
Very funny, I like it a lot. I would type more praise, but I have a dog on my arm, so I can't at this momment in time — via The Slayer's Fanfic Archive — posted by Jessica at 04.10.2004 15:35 AEST | #
I love this! And I wear dusters, Spike doesn't. Yes I'm one of those people who rope and ride things. Weird to you, Normal to me. And Cowgirls kick ass, and if you argue I will send a pile of cow shit your way. — posted by Lucifer's Daughter at 25.01.2005 13:16 AEST | #
No dog on arm. That was very, very funny and I think I learned about as much as Dawn did. I would borrow his coat, too — via The Slayer's Fanfic Archive — posted by Jessica at 03.02.2005 14:00 AEST | #
