#willow and Buffy as Orpheus and Eurydice is something so personal to me

[duckwnoeyes]

Willow Rosenberg is the type of girl to mock Orpheus for turning around. Bc how hard is it to walk straight and not look behind you? If Willow was Orpheus, she’d easily march out of the underworld w Eurydice, bc she is better than the myths. She’d never even entertain the idea of doing something silly, like looking behind her, not even to check if Eurydice wants to come back. Because Willow is better, and stronger, and she’ll drag her best friend back to life without so much as a backward glance, without digging up her body. Because Willow doesn’t understand what it means to love someone enough to turn around. To turn and face them is weakness, and she cannot be loved while she is weak.
