#also also im just weak for villains and mentor figures im sorry

[sleepdeprived-idiot]

nothing better than confessing your obsession over the crusty/tired 2d men to your bestie and them saying its ok

[5bi5]

I've never btvs in my life, I'll admit, but I do get the gay vibes from buffy and faith in the stuff you reblog, and I noticed you once said you ship em a lot and they'd be toxic though that doesn't stop you- would you mind going into that for a second? What makes fuffy(?) toxic? What makes you ship em despite that? Feel free to ignore this ask btw if you don't feel like answering das cool and Im sorry for clogging your inbox 😬

Oh don’t worry my inbox is empty lol 

So here’s a rundown of Faith’s plotline on the show (sorry this is super long i hope you have some time): In season three, Faith shows up and we learn that she’s a vampire slayer, and that her watcher (sort of a mentor who also happens to be a parental figure in this case and may also have been her primary guardian for a time) has recently died and she feels responsible. As a result of both this and a traumatic childhood, Faith is very defensive, distrustful, and reckless, and relies heavily on sex and violence (mostly towards vampires) as coping mechanisms. While she and Buffy initially don’t see eye to eye, they become close friends, with Buffy being one of the first people to show genuine friendship and affection towards Faith, and Faith offering Buffy an outlet where she can have fun and doesn’t have to constantly act like a responsible adult (they’re about eighteen at this point, and Buffy is dealing with both a lot of trauma and a huge amount of responsibility and high expectations in multiple aspects of her life). During this time, Faith is living on her own in a motel, and no adults offer her a place to stay or any financial or emotional support. Most of Buffy’s friends don’t become very close with Faith, but one character, Xander, hooks up with her, and she promptly kicks him out of her hotel room.

Things take a turn when Faith accidentally kills a human after mistaking him for a vampire. Panicked, she hides the body, tries to pin the blame on Buffy (who just wants to support her), and claims that she “doesn’t care” about having killed someone. However, the truth quickly comes out, and the Watcher’s Council (a group of stuffy, misogynistic British men who are meant to be in charge of everything re: vampire slayers) send some men to take her away and punish or possibly kill her. She escapes, and starts working for the Mayor, who is the main villain of the season. She develops a father-daughter relationship with the Mayor, with him doting on her and giving her new clothes, weapons, an apartment, and an xbox, as well as just generally the parental love and validation she is missing. She becomes an assassin, killing anyone who the Mayor needs to get rid of. While they genuinely love each other, he is fairly controlling towards her at times, and also he’s evil so this isn’t a really great relationship.

Buffy and her friends attempt to support Faith, not knowing that she’s working for the Mayor. Xander goes to visit her, feeling that they have a bond since they slept together, but she pressures him to have sex with her again, and almost sexually assaults him, so he leaves. Buffy’s on-and-off boyfriend, Angel, is a reformed vampire who has to live with the horrible things he’s done, and he reaches out to Faith, saying he knows what she’s going through, but she refuses to open up. Eventually, Buffy & co reluctantly accept that Faith is past the point of no return, and start actively fighting her. 

Faith, at the request of the Mayor, injects Angel with a poison for which the only cure is drinking the blood of a slayer. Buffy attempts to kill Faith, with the intention of letting Angel drink her blood, but Faith throws herself off a roof onto a moving truck. She doesn’t die, but she does go into a coma. Buffy talks to Faith in a dream (one of the slayer powers), and Faith tells her to defeat the Mayor by exploiting his human weakness, which is his love for Faith. Buffy lets Angel drink her own blood, saving him, but he moves to LA shortly thereafter since their relationship has no future due to him not aging.

A year later, Faith wakes up from her coma, and we learn that she has been dreaming about Buffy murdering her. She swaps bodies with Buffy and tries to flee the country (since the Watcher’s Council are still after her), but doesn’t end up doing it. She and Buffy fight, they swap back, and Faith leaves for LA, where Angel finally gets through to her, and she turns herself in to the police.

Years later, Faith breaks out of jail in order to help Buffy, who is facing the biggest evil she’s ever faced. The two reconcile, although their relationship is still somewhat fraught. They come to understand each other much better after each experiencing plot arcs similar to the ones the other previously had (sorry i hope that makes sense; basically Buffy goes through Faith’s original plot arc and vice versa)

They have a unique connection due to both being slayers, they’re foils for each other, and they have incredible chemistry. They clearly care for each other deeply even when they’re on opposite sides (there’s a notable parallel in season three where Faith kisses Buffy on the forehead after Buffy “gives up” on Faith, and Buffy kisses Faith on the forehead while she’s in her coma). However, they have a lot of shared trauma, and Faith in particular isn’t really capable of maintaining a healthy romantic relationship without getting some therapy and going through some character growth. 

Sorry that this is so long Faith is a complex character but hopefully this answers things. Thanks for sending an ask :)
