Weird, comics related stuff, and Tumblr

shapinglightIcon not really relevant, but I love the image so much, I have to use it regardless.
Last night, I dreamed I was Spike in the Buffy comics.
This was brought on, I think, by a combination of things. Firstly, I'm currently re-reading Buffy season 10, which I admit, I'm enjoying, and secondly I got involved briefly in a comics-related conversation on one of the fanboards, though it didn't hold my interest long. I made one comment and walked away, even though I hate it when other people do that. ;)
Anyway, in my dream, I started off actually being Spike. I was talking to Comics!Buffy (we were both cartoons even in my dream). She was eating a bowl of strawberry ice cream. I asked her to tell me straight out which she preferred, me or Angel, and she got this guilty look on her face and admitted it was Angel.
Suddenly, I was no longer Spike in the comic. I was me, hurrying to get online and let people know this, so they could steel themselves for the inevitable disappointment and put on a brave face if anyone felt inclined to gloat.
Then I woke up.
Odd. I've never dreamt I was a cartoon before, or that I was Spike. Or even about Spike. The only character from the show I've ever dreamt about is Angel - and even then I think he was more David Boreanaz than Angel.
I've been enjoying the comic, like I said. I do agree with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rahirah, though. While I can see BtVS season 7 Buffy possibly becoming season 8/9 Buffy, or BtVS season 7 Buffy possibly becoming season 10 Buffy, I can't for the life of me see season 8/9 Buffy becoming season 10 Buffy.
Oh well.
In other slightly comics-related news (in a very roundabout way, and only because I'm following Cullen Bunn, the writer of the sadly defunct Magneto solo series from Marvel on there), I'm still trying, and failing miserably, to get to grips with Tumblr.bogwitch and quinara said they'd help me work out how to use the site when we meet at Writercon, but I'm supposed to read the FAQ before then. Trouble is, whenever I look at the it it just makes me miserable. I kinda...hate it.
:Gloom:
Also, given how quiet LJ's become, I've suddenly become anxious in case it's not profitable any more and our Russian overlords close the site down altogether. I have so much that I've written on here. Not just fanfics (multiple copies of those exist anyway) but life stuff. I'd hate to lose it. I do import content to Dreamwidth fairly regularly, but that site could also disappear any time. There used to be a program by which you could download a copy of your LJ, entries, comments, the whole thing, to your hard drive. Does it still exist, does anyone know?
ETA: It looks like LJ Archive still exists but that there are loads of problems with it. :(
