no no giles you don't get to be all sardonic about this!!! we're four seasons into the show and you're STILL dismissive and condescending whenever buffy has a hinky feeling despite her being right LITERALLY EVERY TIME

it's ALMOST like sensing evil, danger, and demons is, like, A FUCKIGN FEATURE OF BEING THE SLAYER??!!???? and yet this is how the scoobies treat her every time! they act like she's crazy and stupid?

i get that this is like, a feature of her being a teenage girl so of course people are going to patronize her, but i fucking HATE this recurring theme. IT'S SEASON FOUR. WHY DON'T YOU TRUST HER INSTINCTS YET?

#if it were riley i'd be like ok yeah he doesn't know her very well yet #she's a very tiny pretty girl and he'd never even heard of the slayer there's an adjustment period #it's hard to be a big army dude and then find out that the very small girl you've been dating is ten times stronger than you #but it's always the scoobies and ESPECIALLY giles who are always like oh buffy haha you hysterical girl haha #the rule should be LISTEN TO BUFFY ALWAYS LISTEN TO BUFFY #it's not like she's the chosen one equipped with all the powers needed to fight demons OH WAIT #buffyverse liveblog #my caps #edit: also in “superstar” riley proved that he's a better and more supportive friend than everyone else because he believed her even under #the influence of a spell that made him believe that jonathan was better than buffy and she was suspicious of jonathan himself and he was TH #ONLY ONE who believed in her and told the rest of them to trust her and that she “sees things we don't”#and i'm sure there are fans who think that this is just “the writers trying to get us to like riley” or whatever #but i think you're just not paying attention to how shittily the scoobies treat buffy wrt these kinds of situations
