Homecoming, my freshman year of college. I didn't have a date, so I got dressed up and I went anyway. Was it awful? It was awful. For about an hour. Then what happened? I met your father. He didn't have a date either? He did. And that's a much funnier story that you will *not* get to hear. Oh, but it was a beautiful night!

(ignoring ATS and the last season and a half of Buffy because I’m halfway through s6 and haven’t seen Angel yet)

Which One Of These Characters Do You Think Hates Angel The Most?

note: I know from one of those “previously on” things in s4 that Faith was in ATS. Maybe her relationship with Angel mended on ATS, if so please don’t tell me since I haven’t seen it yet. I am basing this on their relationship in s3, in which she was down to kill him in Revelations despite not knowing who he was, and in which she also shot him with a poisoned arrow. Seems pretty not friendly.

Please reblog for a larger sample size (if you want to.)

So, listen, Giles's story is so fucking tragic because his biggest fear, from the very beginning, was always to fail, and no matter how the wheel turns, someone is calling him a failure.

In Nightmares we find out that he was having nightmares about Buffy dying, a girl he had known for a couple of weeks at this point, because HE had failed her. Then in prophecy girl he tries to do what he believes to be right, send Buffy to face the master, knowing that it will be her death. And when he realizes that that is the wrong thing to do, he tries to go instead. At that point however, Buffy has decided to go and knocks him out, he has failed both as a watcher in sending his slayer into battle, and as a parental figure, in keeping her safe. She dies, and he most definitely blames himself for that.

Then in Helpless he is again trying to perform his duties as a watcher, until Buffy shows him that those ways are cruel and heartless. He then tries to break of the trial, only to realize that it's too late because the vampire has taken Joyce, so Buffy has to go trough the house anyways. Meanwhile his trying to break it of means that he gets fired by the council while his having started it in the first place leads to him losing Buffy's trust.

In season five he has pretty much abandoned all loyalty to the council, and is now torn between Buffy and the world as a whole. He has to protect the world, and therefore they might have to sacrifice Dawn, but Buffy is such a big part of the world and sacrificing Dawn would mean breaking Buffy. In the end he is just enough to save the world, but not nearly enough to save Buffy. He blames herself for her death, both her deaths, and can't help but wonder if she would have been better of without him (as is shown in his monologue to the Buffybot). He has failed in all the roles he has ever taken on, watcher, father, librarian (he blew up the library!) friend, partner.

So when Buffy miraclously returns to life he thinks that it's best that he stays away from her, so that he won't fail her again.

I'm not saying that leaving was the right thing to do, but I think people often picture Giles as a more put together person than I've ever seen him, capable of making a rational decision. I believe that it was mostly fear, desperation and selfdoubt that made him leave, and he tries to justify it to himself as it being the best thing for Buffy.

The library always seems closed when I need a book. Like sir, Mr. Giles, I NEED that textbook on early Greek culture or I'm gonna fail my history class. Where does he even go???

Right like, he talks to three students and no faculty (unless you count him and Ms. Calendar screaming at eachother). Where the fuck is he going. Sir you don’t even have friends and I doubt you have hobbies. The least you can do is your job.

For all the Early Installment Weirdness in Season 1 of Buffy, the opening two-parter does a surprisingly good job establishing these who these characters are and what their arcs will be for the entire rest of the series.

Take Buffy’s ‘Seize the moment, because tomorrow you might be dead’ - it’s framed in an almost light-hearted way, but she is already, in the first episode, intensely aware of her own death. As much as she tries to deny her slayerhood, she knows she’s probably going to die young; she can’t picture a future for herself, and her just trying to enjoy the moment is covering for issues she’ll be dealing with for the rest of the series.

The first thing Willow does to help Buffy is hack the city council to access the plans for the city. Well, technically, what she does is reveal that she’d already hacked them, just for funsies. It’s slightly incongruous with Willow’s apparent innocence… but that completely fits her later arc. She sees herself as essentially innocent and harmless, so it’s fine when she does things that might seem bad if someone else did it, especially if it’s something that might make her feel cool and/or powerful.

Cordelia also shows her intelligence in Computer class (though the bad Deliver/Delete joke at the end of the scene undercuts it, I’m inclined to write that off as just a bad joke). She’s complaining about the task they’ve been assigned, but she’s complaining like someone who does know what she’s talking about, in comparison to Harmony who genuinely doesn’t get it; and there’s a strong sense that she’s trying to downplay her academic smarts to fit in. It’s surprising depth this early in the series, considering how Season 1 generally treats her.

And then Angel is a ridiculous dork with no idea how to be a person, desperately trying to look cool - an illusion that breaks under the slightest pressure. This displays not just his personality, but also foreshadows all of Buffy’s romantic interests for the rest of the series.

#yes that includes Riley #that boy has no idea what he's doing #he's a GI-Joe trying to be a person #he's 'normal' the way that Faith is 'cool'#he looks like he should be so no-one notices that he isn't #btvs #btvs s1 #meta #buffy summers #willow rosenberg #cordelia chase #angel angel

Fine. I’ll admit it. I’m coming out as an I Robot, You Jane sympathizer. I like that episode. The first scene in the library alone like!! Giles’s snide little “of course 😒”. The iconic “if you’re not jacked in, you’re not alive,” line that I quote relentlessly. The interpretation of scanning a book as being the same as “reading” it, which is just (unintentionally) so, so fascinating to me. The way the whole episode as a Time Capsule of anxieties not just about the internet and technology and “stranger danger”, but more broadly about information and knowledge and privacy and human connection. The idea that the mystical and the divine is everywhere, even in digital spaces. Willow has a picture of her and Giles in her locker. She has a picture of herself and Rupert Giles. Hanging In Her Locker. I cannot emphasize this enough. Willow has a picture of her and her high school librarian Rupert Giles hanging prominently in her locker. And. most importantly. Jenny Calendar. <3

#buffy the vampire slayer #btvs #I Robot You Jane #btvs s1 #btvs s1e08 #I was so surprised to learn that ppl hate this episode #it’s fun. it’s funny. there’s a big robot. Willow gets herself in danger by throwing herself after a boy for the SECOND time #their tragic love lives are foreshadowed. giles is so so catty the entire episode.#someone gets directions to kill buffy summers and his only response is to say ‘party. 😎’#and at risk of repeating myself most importantly. Jenny calendar <3 #maybe this episode is just too catered towards librarians and information scientists bc I find everything about it fascinating and/or funny

Whenever I think back to Btvs s1 Finale and Buffy’s white dress I always got the ick cause Buffy totally could’ve just changed into something more comfortable and I never understood why she didn’t. But I always brushed it aside because Btvs is camp and I love it.

But I read a post somewhere where it said Buffy was dressing up to die and I was like HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT!!!

Like that is so Buffy and so girl of her!! She really was dressing up to die!! And she kinda always is?? She almost always looks good while fighting but during that episode it was the death of her childhood and her actual death so she said I’m gonna wear my prom dress while I die and look good while doing it. She was gonna grasp at any shred of her youth while she gave it up.

He looks so excited to meet her! The gif is of Giles and Buffy's first meeting, Buffy has gone into the library for a historybook and Giles brings forth...not a historybook. Because Giles knows who she is and of course she is there for the ancient tome about vampires! That's what he has been preparing for all his life! He has studied and rehearsed this moment, when he is going to hand over the slayer handbook and his charge is of course going to accept it! So he suppresses a giggle as he presents it to her. And then she...she doesn't?
