#b**** buffy

one of the weirdest moments for me is when Buffy and Willow raid the Watcher Diaries in Halloween. Because at best, they're just flipping past all the descriptions of torture and murder to get to pics of girls Angel might've fucked. But at worst (and frankly, more likely, considering just what types of things watchers would chronicle), they're looking at pics of girls Angel ATE and being like "I think you could pull off that look, Buffy."

I wish I could watch Buffy for the first time again. For many reasons but one huge one is to feel my brain chemistry change when Spike crashes in to Sunnydale. (and in to my heart) Seeing him get out of his car muttering “home sweet home” while lighting a cigarette.

I’ll never be the same.

btvs season 7 episode 16 storyteller my beloved! episodes that start out really fun and zany but end up being surprisingly sad and poignant my beloved! reflections on the act of narration, on who is telling the story and what their perspective is my beloved! buffy being the badass speech giving girlboss general for most of the episode (because that's how andrew sees her) but then actually admitting how desperate and vulnerable she is to andrew of all people because she knows no one will believe him if he tells them about it my beloved! buffy refusing to let andrew deflect the guilt of murdering jonathan because if there's one thing buffy "you have a choice, you don't have a good choice but you have a choice!" summers can't stand it's people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions my beloved! andrew actually admitting that he murdered jonathan my beloved! the episode ending on andrew not being able to narrate to the camera anymore because he knows there's nothing he can say that can make it better my beloved!

season 7 mostly sucks but when it hits it hits okay

I think one of the biggest differences between bangel and spuffy is that angel isn’t a partner to buffy. he’s not even someone she knows that well. he’s not someone she’s ever familiar with, and he’s not someone she can ever fully rely on.

yeah their romance was big and grand and all the things a tragic fairytale romance is. but at the end of the day their relationship is so incredibly surface level. all there is is the idea of love, and not even the real thing.

A morally grey character is literally a character who commits both good and bad actions. Yes, a rapist or groomer can be a gray character if, in addition to these actions, he did something good. Stop trying to manipulate with concepts.

Yes of course. As if there weren't lines that shouldn't be crossed in the bad actions concerned. 😂

A morally gray character falls somewhere in between, being neither completely bad nor completely good, whose actions are generally ambiguous with usually a good purpose behind them and who can therefore be understandable.

Explain to me how grooming or rape (and completely committed I mean) can fall into these famous morally gray areas ?

Unless the character seeks to repent of it later, it simply doesn't work.

He will not fit into the box of morally gray or anti-hero under the pretext that he will do a good thing which has nothing to do with it behind it.

You have tons of villains capable of doing good things at any given moment, especially for their romantic partner, like with 1992's Dracula or The Frighteners. But the characters involved are no less villains (although complex and humanized in the case of Dracula).

It is not enough to do a good deed to be considered a gray character or an anti-hero.

The concept is much more complex than that.

Unless the action deemed good is considerable ! But ironically, as if by chance, I have never seen a character supposed to be gray or anti-hero commit grooming or rape.

Probably because it is a line which in the collective unconscious must not be crossed.

The only case that comes to mind is Spike who attempts to rape Buffy which fortunately does not succeed and the character automatically sets off on a path supposed to redeem him because he understands his fault and his horror.

And the character of Spike was first introduced as a villain / antagonist before gradually becoming an anti-hero as the show progressed.

She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer.

so I like the concept of the cookie dough speech. I think, independently, it's a good conclusion for buffy to come to by the end of the series. However, the context... look, it's been pretty thoroughly established throughout the series that buffy and angel will never work. can never work. is it a great romance, does it make me feel for the characters, do i love the angst of it? yes absolutely. but why am I being told, despite being shown the opposite, that there's a chance in hell that buffy will end up with angel? why am I being told continually by the writing across both shows that a codependent teen romance between two people who like... barely know each other is what buffy should aspire to? for the rest of her life?

this insistence is such a detriment to the characters of both buffy and angel. each grew so much on their respective shows. i love both buffy and angel as characters. I love what their relationship means for their past and how it informs their characters moving forward. but god, just leave it there. framing buffy/angel as the truest love that will ever be, automatically eclipsing any other relationship either of them try to have, is honestly not great messaging. personally i will always be affected in some way by my first love, I think that's a normal, relatable experience. But there's no way that love is a viable part of my future, and it wouldn't be healthy for me to think so...

it also takes away from the meaning that people like spike and cordelia might have in their lives because whatever they do, however they grow to love each other, they'll always be 'consolation prize' to... what? buffy's high school relationship with an older guy? no thx

Bracket 4 - Side B - Round 1

Yukiko Kanzaki (Assassination Classroom) vs. Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

More information under the cut!

Yukiko Kanzaki: She is elegant and pretty.

Buffy Summers: Buffy loves fashion and makeup and figure skating, and she willfully asserts this part of herself in an effort to rebel against a destiny and a system that seek to completely deny her personhood and transform her into nothing but a hardened killer. She's everything to me!

*A secret fourth option. Whatever
