Willow Month Day 3 & Day 9 Favourite Episode/Location
for just the wildwood textposts go (here👍🏻)
Tumblr media
I'm extremely late (which is very on brand😅), and attempting to cram 10 prompts into 2 days. Let's speedrun this! Okay so Episode 5 - Wildwood really exemplifies the theme of love as a narrative force. It also focuses on Jade’s story and the Bone Reavers. AND IT IS GORGEOUS.
Tumblr media
Right from the opening punk music overlaid chase scene, episode 5 is a symphony of the show's artistic form. Also Time For Some Mayhem is a recap of the Bone Reavers history & could basically be Scorpia's theme song. (can this count for my soundtrack day if I'm not done on time🤘🏻)
ALSO LOOK AT THEM SMILING FILMING IT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Willow is an ensemble show, but the plot in WIldwood is propelled by Jade, a queer biracial girl finding family and joy in who she is! CONFRONTING HER FEARS. BEING SO BRAVE. We have characters from the culture we were introduced to as the dominant culture (Tir Asleen) actually being in the wrong! Cue a textpost of Kit being a disaster:

Wildwood establishes very clearly that character growth is happening before they go through the rest of the trials and tribulations of the quest.
To get really personal here, I had a near death experience as a kid and I just have this insatiable rage at narratives that present traumatic experiences as 'level up' character development like achievements. The forty some minutes we spend in the Wildwood, everyone grows (and gets a little high) in a safe healthy environment. This is like textbook good therapy practice. Leading to the moment we’ve all been waiting for…
THE TANTHAMORE ALMOST KISS!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kit and Jade's love confessions are beautiful. Erin Kellyman said it best:
“Having not seen these shows when I was younger, now being able to be the representation that I didn’t have is something that is so peaceful,” she says. “I know that if I saw this when I was a kid, I would have been completely in love with Kit and Jade, and I would have felt a lot less isolated and scared and weird.” - Erin Kellyman (source)
The scenes leading up to the troll snatch were shot on a closed set because the director wanted Erin Kellyman and Ruby Cruz to be able to be completely comfortable in how vulnerable they were to film that moment between Jade and Kit. We see two characters who have loved each other consciously and unconsciously for years decide to completely go for it.
Wildwood has everything: A celebratory lens on the survival of oppressed peoples, sapphic love confessions, ERIN KELLYMAN, fluffy bonding between core characters, ERIN KELLYMAN SMILING (seriously she's literally so beautiful), great soundtrack, beautiful sets, world-building, ERIN KELLYMAN DANCING, and character development so breathtaking I cried. (Also might've cried about how pretty Erin Kellyman is)

so ive been thinking about willow again as always, and i want to talk for a moment about how boorman isn't an idiot and i think he genuinely might have had more of a plan for the bone reavers than we saw.
boorman knows things, he reads people and he has travelled around, but he's also dramatic af and wants his moment.
he knew his reappearance would be met with mixed opinions, and that he'd have to try to win scorpia over again if he wanted things to get back to whatever they'd been between them before. but i think that his full plan was interrupted by kit and elora breaking free.
i think he was just waiting for the right time to tell scorpia about jade, because he had probably worked it out. the right time didn't come, because he was busy dealing with his own stuff first and trying to get back into scorpias good books again himself, before trying to save the group; and kit and elora interrupted him.
boorman knows the bone reavers, and its implied he knows scorpia intimately, so he will know what the mark of kael looks like. even if he doesn't remember it exactly he knows enough about the bone reavers to know of their traditions and what a mark like that means.
jade, has been on this quest with him for a long time at this point. her hair is tied up when he first meets her, they spend weeks in close proximity and we can't forget that hug at nockmaar. chances are high that he would have seen the back of her neck, and he's the only member of the group to really truly understand what the symbol means. but he's also not an idiot, and knows that jade probably wouldn't trust him if he suddenly sprung that information on her on a normal day of their adventure, so it makes sense that he wouldn't have brought it up.
idk maybe this is all a ramble and im putting too much faith in him. maybe it wasn't part of his plan.
but even if he never planned to do anything with the info, he definitely had already connected the dots, bc there's no way he wouldn't have seen and worked it out.

I WATCHED THE MOVIE AND THAT PARALLEL IS SO CUTE!!! okay but I have a ton of thoughts: I think it’s really deep- and intentional that what made madmartigan and sorcha come together was “dust of a broken heart” , then Jade and Kit- truth plums. Fruit from the family Jade was taken from as a part of an event celebrating HER. Focus on the oppressed peoples who have risen against Tir Asleen and all those losers is so fucking amazing and brilliant. That being what enabled them to have those conversations was the absolute peek of subtle and powerful storytelling around identity and relationships and stuff. The difference between the OG dust and the new fruit just perfectly captures Kit and Jade. Because they are this version of that sweet childhood fantasy AND true and messy and real intertwined into a story that is just so fulfilling and different.
kit nearly crying during her confession to jade in wildwood is so. she’s so so scared of vulnerability and rejection but here she is spilling her heart. and she’s terrified. but she does it anyway.

I love that a lot of people (myself included) went into Willow expecting Kit and Jade to be this slow burn thing building across the entire season only to be completely blindsided by this in episode one.

Okay but in the beginning of Same Time, Same Place, there is a joke about Anya not wanting her spellcasting with Willow to get too sexy. The show literally say "remember that two women casting a spell together usually means they're having sex? well we want to make sure you understand that this time it's just for plot reasons." They acknowledge that you might want to read it that way based on previous seasons, but you shouldn't, in that situation.
Anyway in the end of the same episode, when Willow and Buffy hold hand and do it on Willow's bed, that acknowledgement is missing.

That scene where Jade and Scorpia try very hard to kill each other and succeed in beating the shit out of each other, and our gang is so so stressed out and the Bonereavers are just living for it

diver down pod update!!!
so i was just catching up on some of the recent interactions on the pod episodes and wanted to give a little update cause i feel like it's been a while!
first off, i'm still absolutely floored that that many people have listened to me ramble for even a minute, much less over 20 episodes worth, so thank you thank you thank you.
second of all, due to the writer and actor strikes as well as my own burnout post-jiara week, i haven't recorded anything new yet for the pod and wouldn't expect anything in the near future. if y'all have found this blog recently through the pod, then you might've noticed that i've been posting other fandoms lately, and that's just how i've been feeling! not super in my obx or jiara feels at the moment, so even when the strikes eventually end, it might take me a second to start recording again. or maybe i'll slingshot so fucking fast back into the brain rot as soon as they start filming again WHO KNOWS
basically, thank you to anyone who's listened and interacted during this content drought, i genuinely appreciate y'all so so much, and i hope you'll stick around through this dry patch so we can scream about obx again sometime in the future, whenever that may be!!!!
