I’m watching Buffy for the first time and I’ve just finished 7x19 and I have some thoughts because people are pissing me off.
1) giles in s7 is really pissing me off. he’s back to treating buffy like a child and he’s acting as though she hasn’t been forced to grow up since he’s been away and that’s not fair. like i’m sorry? giles fucks off when buffy needs him most and then he has the audacity to come back and be surprised when she’s making the harshest decisions because she HAS TO, and he’s surprised and pissed that she’s not doing as he tells her when he literally made it that way? he CHOSE to leave her when she was vulnerable. I adored the Giles & Buddy relationship they had earlier in the show, but s7 has really ruined it for me.
2) i adore faith and i’m all for her proving herself BUT it’s ironic that they’re ignoring the slayer who has fought off SEVERAL apocalypses and has lead people doing so in order to follow the slayer who helped CAUSE one (and she doesn’t even want to lead!!!) Buffy has given her entire fucking life to this shit and people say she's not fit because she isn’t ‘letting loose’ and babying / being nice to the potentials?
3. everyone’s always told buffy she needs to be ‘harder’ and more ready for loss, but the minute she’s like ‘yeah sacrifices need to be made but we need to act because the first is ALWAYS one step ahead of us no matter what we do’, suddenly people can’t handle that and they turn against her?
4. everyone being like ‘yo, spike needs to die’ when he is literally one of the best fighters she has AND (SA aside) he was there for her when literally no one else was?? he was the ONLY one who wasn’t selfish about the whole thing when she came back to life.
5. anya being like ‘you weren’t elected leader, you didn’t earn it. you got lucky’ as if buffy isn’t beaten down by life every single day and longed for having a normal life ??? she didn’t choose this, but she has proven time and time again that she IS skilled and she IS a great leader. she has died TWICE and up until this season, has still managed to be bright and peppy and look on the bright side of things. she literally can’t anymore because she has been forced into this role
anyway, i have three episodes left and i’m really hoping someone actually just gives buffy a hug because holy shit she deserves it

I’m not entirely sure where I said ‘fuck it’ and lost all of my dignity, but it happened and now I’m just exposing myself to people I barely know and I don’t know where this began

Season 3 is for the overthinkers. The ones who always had the crush but were never the crushes. The ones who only see flaws when they look in the mirror. The ones who throw themselves into books because those worlds treat them better than life ever has. The ones who are just so goddamn tired.

weirdly, this is one of the ships I rarely think about, but when I do, boy am I obsessed with them - they’re just so madly in love and so perfect for each other

I know the girlies found that blonde twincest shit hot (can't relate, though I do love Gracie and did like Tatum) but you simply aren't here for Leighton and her growth if you're mad about her not being with someone who represented the worst parts of herself. Tatum was a mirror in more ways than one and Leighton didn't like what she saw staring back.
This was perfect. This was about character development.
Everything about Leighton's story so far and Alicia and Tatum's parts in it has made sense, and I will never not show appreciation for queer characters -especially lesbians- being written with care.
Thank you, writers. This has been wonderful. She's wonderful.

Note: while this breakup didn't come out of nowhere, in my opinion, and should have been completely expected, I will concede that all that happened with Leighton in the last episode would've been better fleshed out over a few episodes. This issue with pacing could be bad writing, but I honestly haven't seen a show worth watching these last few years that hasn't struggled with pacing these short ass seasons.
