They're allowed to talk about mental illness, they just can't use the word "crazy" - which is ableist, I guess.
So you can say Drusilla is mentally ill?
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I would think that "delusional" would be accurate and specific.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So you can say Drusilla is mentally ill?
I have no idea. We weren't allowed to call Azula a sociopath despite her exhibiting all the signs. But Drusilla has a problem with her brain being missing. It's kind of a thing.

I rather think "batshit crazy" is accurate.

Can you drive someone delusional? Didn't Angelus torture her into a break with reality? She's not delusional--she's psychic, after all. She's just...unhinged.
I don't see how he could stop you talking about a plot point and have it be conducive to discussion.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
Drusilla just needs a hug.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would think so.
Drusilla just needs a hug.
After all, a hug is just a strangle you haven't finished yet.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Can I just say this sticks in my craw, and I've actually flown over the cuckoo's nest in the last 3 months.

Okay, but I don't think that's what happened in the story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I rather think "batshit crazy" is accurate.
When it comes to Drusilla it really is the best term.
