Chris, I need to know what you think would happen in a Xander spin-off. Because, unless I am remembering wrong, Xander was one hell of a tool.

im kissing you on the lips for asking me about btvs

season 3 ep 13 'the zeppo' is a Xander POV episode of btvs and tbh that's one of my favorite episodes of btvs. its the gang leaving Xander out of the apocalypse of the week due to him being "too weak", just for Xander to get involved in his own dangerous adventure where a group of zombies try to get him to join their gang. i think a Xander series would have been better than the angel series bc the Angel series did not know what its purpose was. its such a bad show. the only saving grace of that show is Cordelia is there, and when she leaves the show it becomes complete trash. Cordelia needed to be there to balance out the stupid shit Angel is doing. If you like the Angel series I'm so incredibly happy for you and my opinion on it should not diminish how you feel about it. I'm just some guy lol i think a POV from the 'normie' of the group would have been more interesting in terms of story telling. You would be able to put yourself in Xander's shoes and it could have been following the aftermath of season 7 of btvs; where everyone who could ever be the slayer was awakened thanks to willow unlocking everyone's potential. btvs continued its story through the comics after the show ended and the plot of the comics was Buffy running a slayer organization where ander worked as support for slayers out on missions (ala Kazuhira Miller in MGS peacewalker and MGSV). now i enter my unhinged rambling of Xander's character

Alexander LaVelle "Xander" Harris has many, as you put it, "one hell of a tool" moments in the show that I'm going to get into. A lot of them I can see as "this is a teenage boy saying stupid teenage boy shit" but a lot of it is also unwarranted and inherently selfish. Early series "tool" moments are

Xander's attitude towards Buffy for not returning his feelings and his haterid of Buffy having feelings for Angel (Season 1)

Xander blaming Buffy for Ms Calendar being killed by Angel (Season 2)

Xander exploding at Buffy for leaving Sunnydale after Joyce (Buffys mom) told her she better never return to their house after Buffy told her mom that shes the slayer (Season 3)

Xander being upset with Willow and Buffy for going to college (Season 4)

Xander yelling at Buffy for letting Riley (a good guy in his own words) "get away" when Riley gives Buffy an ultimatum (Season 5)

when Xander says hes disgusted by Buffy and can't even look at her after finding out she's been sleeping with Spike (Season 6)

and finally when Xander thought Buffy was being a terrible leader in season 7 bc she had to be a commander of an army of potential slayers (Season 7)

However on the flip side, Xander has multiple moments of being incredibly loyal and willing to do anything in his power for his friends, and that he really is the heart of the group reminding everyone of their humanity. Xander, much like the rest of the Buffy cast, is a complex character who has good and bad qualities and I think it's important to take the good with the bad. I don't agree with most things he says/does, but I also recognize that inherently he is a good person. Wanting the best for those around him even if his perception of what "the best" for his friends isn't necessarily what they "need".

BTVS is a hard series to defend. A lot of the actions of the characters are uncomfortable due to the creator of the IP, but when you create a piece of media those characters start to also belong to the fans. A lot of what Joss Whedon wrote for the characters at times felt incredibly OOC and just "we're going to torture the afab characters bc I hate women" kind of writing, but it's important to remember that there were other writers on the show and how actors wanted to portray their characters too.

That being said, I like Xander, and I like a lot of what others have done to explore his character bc im gay and like to analyze media. I think a spin off buddy cop Xander and Spike show would have been leagues better than Angel. One of the spin off Buffy comics I really like have Xander and Spike being friends from the beginning and exploring more of what their dynamic could be. I think it's an interesting alternative universe from Buffy canon and its work checking out <3

anyway ty for reading i hope ur having a good day xoxo

I just had a thought that might not be universally true and is only true to me, but hey that's what Fanon is for.

Xander Harris.

Goofball.

Immature.

Internalized Homophobia.

Shitty with women (in that he does not know what he's doing and will 100% leave you at the altar if a demon shows a false future of him turning into his dad (fucking choke Tony)).

Human. Very human indeed.

He is very. Very. Self aware. And we see that, in small seconds that can be thrown away. And also by the fact that Caleb poked his fucking eye out bc Xander Sees and he tells Dawn this.

Xander, the only human who has no real connections to the world Buffy is in apart from his sense of loyalty, his friendship with Willow and the fact that he moidered Jesse.

He knows he isn't smart. He knows he screws up. He knows he disappoints his friends. He knows.

But he doesn't change. Bc that would mean turning into something he isn't. He is the Zeppo(without ever getting the girl).

Xander is aware of all of this.

That's it...

buffyverse characters trope meme: Alexander LaVelle Harris (x)

[madamskywalker]

Alexander Lavelle Harris was a definite heterosexual! You stop that!

He certainly never talked about how Buffy sleeping with Spike was understandable because he was strong and mysterious and well muscled.

Oh...wait...

“he speaks volumes with his eyes” (incredibly heterosexual statement about oz from xander harris)

It haunts me that the only episode of Buffy that Xander isn't in, is the one where he was scripted to talk with The First disguised as Jesse McNally.

I find cool new Buffy blogs to follow and then I turn around and find out they're die hard Bangel shippers. It's a cruel bate and switch.

My least favourite Buffy characters are Xander and Riley. I can't comment on the fans at the time because I was a baby but most of the female fans I know agree with me. Do we think this pisses Joss off because they're his self-inserts? And like women hate them? Because they're shitty men? If so I think we should continue.
