BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | 3.08 “Lovers Walk”

FAITH LEHANE | 3.03 – Faith, Hope & Trick

Ofc they had to kill of the good and stable therapist that took Buffy seriously. If they hadn't she would have become completely invincible by the end of the season. It simply wouldn't have made for a very interesting story after that.

(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.)

No idea if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I despise the Willow x Xander romance in season 3. Not only are they cheating but I also think it's kinda gross honestly, they have such a sweet friendship and I don't see any reason why the writers thought of ruining it. Like I know it was the 90's so a guy and a girl couldn't just be friends but c'mon

in honor of the super blue moon tonight I will be watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and headcanon-ing Oz as a transmasc non-binary he/him lesbian who is on T. this headcanon was not created by me but by my irl mutual @singingsawenthusiast yay werewolves as an allegory also Willow and Oz are not my OTP but I badly need them to be t4t lesbians and they are in my headcanon mind and if the headcanon was real then they would be OTP

like or reblog if you save. ♡

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | 3.14 "Bad Girls"

And while most of Southern California is enjoying a balmy Christmas, an extreme cold front has sprung up out of nowhere around Sunnydale, where they are reporting heavy snowfall for the first time in, well, ever.

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.

just saw the, least to say Interesting take that, during the crossbow scene in Amends, Giles was being, “a little too hard on angel.”

ok sure that is an opinion. You can have. If you want to.

This isn’t even a new take I saw someone reblog a gif set of it and say he was being annoying and I’ve seen more than once that it was “unfair” of him to blame Angel for Angelus’s actions which even if that is true (souls are inconsistent in this series, see Living Conditions, in which the MOTW’s plan, by this logic, was to, like, get possessed,) Angel can still use two brain cells and decide to not ask Giles for help over his little existential crisis.

believe me, I adore you

Xander has done some incredibly stupid things but before it’s never been drive around a guy who resurrected 3 of his buddy’s from the grave stupid.
