Fuck it, Buffyverse sideblog. Hi! I'm Elle, I'm a new Buffy fan who can't stop thinking about this show, so here I am. I like/follow from virtualsilver. If you want me to tag anything let me know, I will do so no questions asked.

wait. willow’s mom is neglectful to the point that she doesn’t notice willow cut her hair for weeks/months yet when we’re first introduced to willow she’s wearing something her mother picked out. do you think part of the reason she wears clothes her mom picks out despite them being somewhat juvenile is because it’s one of the very few ways she feels like her mom is paying attention and cares

Sarah Michelle Gellar should’ve won every award possible for the S2 finale she carried the emotion of the climax SO HARDDD. By god am i crying over a relationship i don’t have any strong feelings towards simply because she portrayed the anguish of it SO WELL. Utterly insane Buffy is the character ever

So out of mind out of sight in Buffy has the invisible girl join like some secret government assassins team which was awesome. Then we never hear about it again unless it's in the comics (which I've stopped reading coz I heard they made Buffy a cop?) once again opportunity lost to have invisible soldiers working for the initiative and it wouldn't even need them to dip into their bad cgi budget lol. Also I know Marcy is supposed to be sort of sympathetic seeing as we get a bunch of flashbacks about her being ignored but I'm like...why did she exclusively choose to try and hang out with the school mean girls? Like we don't see her try to talk to anyone else and it seems like she wants the prestige or popularity that comes from hanging around them rather than actual friends. If she wanted actual friends she could have tried talking to literally anyone else. It gave me vibes of always going after the people who are most likely to be mean to you and it annoyed me. Though it's hinted that she did try talking to other people as Xander and willow both signed her yearbook. I think her and Buffy should have interacted more, maybe even bonded through both being kind of outsiders as we see buffy in this episode being left out of inside jokes. Instead the two don't talk to each other at all unless it's to be threatening. Lost opportunity. Giles and angel chat in this episode and I wish they did more often because I kind of like their little nerd out sessions only problem is it accentuates how old angel is that he's only able to talk normally to his peer lol. Maybe that's why they don't hang out much. Cordelia is all into school work to the point of meeting her teacher after class but we know that future episodes will go back and forth making her secretly smart and then actively dumb because they don't know what to do with her character (something that improves up to a point in angel the series) I wish someone could isolate the audio of Cordelia's acceptance speech in this episode I'm so curious what she says. ALSO the ridiculousness of talking about defeating and invisible bad guy IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU KNOW SHE HANGS OUT AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU LISTENING TO YOUR PLANS?? plus in the seventh season a girl is about to go invisible and Buffy talks to her and she stops, so shouldn't them acknowledging Marcy make her visible again? And what about her parents? They must have cared at least a little to put her up as a missing person. But Buffy is full of retcons and plotholes at this point it's part of its charm. Still infuriating that marcy sees the worst people in the school and is like yes I will make them my friends😌 we can be mean to people together. I guess it's an example of people who are having a rough time or being bullied aren't always nice people just because they're suffering (I should know, I was bullied and I'm the worst lol)

Giles was so real for taking his glasses off when he didn't want to see what the scoobies were up to cause I, too, leave my glasses off when I don't want to see people.

Part of the reason Slayers have to work in secret and aren't supposed to have friends or family is so that the Watchers can abuse them in secret.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Witch | 1.03

I still think the most brutal scene in buffy is seeing all those dead teenagers sitting in front of the tv all the way back in s1

the scene of buffy and spike talking at anya and xander‘s wedding is making me sickkkk. the glances?? the way he immediately offers to leave eventhough he came here to make her jealous? the way she smiles at him?? crazy, all of it.
