The worldview on this show is exactly like if the world was this house and it’s got all the furniture and mirrors and floors etc covered in this dirty drop cloth everywhere you look convincing everyone in it it’s a haunted dead place but then someone will ignore the drop cloth and sit on a piece of furniture anyways without quite thinking and it is actually there and good and works normal and actually it’s a fundamental backbone of a beautiful warm loving living home but no one realizes cause they won’t spend enough time looking at it

#that’s exactly what it’s like #it’s like we’re going back to what started the world which is Evil muhahaha and it’s so full of despair and sickness and sin #until the worldview’s just crowded with that as the reality #and then Xander will come along and yell I’m a carpenter and you can kill me but I’ll still love you #and Spike will sag across a cross that burns him talking about a love that burns him because he wants to be good and there’s a rest to it #and then we’ll cover the furniture back up and move on #but at least you know it’s there #i do think it’s pretty accurate though to how it feels in your teens and twenties tho #at least when you’re troubled #it’s like the world is scarier now than the grown ups understand I’m fighting demons they ignore it don’t know exist but they Should Know #and that feels like all it is all that’s there because I’m so small and they’re so much #but that’s the thing really. it’s an illusion #it’s just covered up furniture #if you uncover it there’s a whole house made of love under there #but the thing is the drop cloths are real too. and you got to be willing to see how dead the place is how buried it is #before you can hope for resurrection enough to take the drop cloths off #but you won’t do that either if you think that’s all that’s there #everybody in this show things the drop cloth is part and parcel to the furniture #that that’s just how the furniture and the house IS #so they live in it that way #until every once in a while someone says this sucks what if I see if this can come off. can I reupholster this? or why are you guys #hanging around your house with drop cloths on everything? you’re making stuff dirty!#it’s Giles showing up and saying actually Buffy being an adult means asking for help #it’s Spike saying I’m Evil and I have to do something about that #it’s Buffy helping the kids!!!!#magpie watches btvs
