I know that Wh*d*n is stank and all, but as a bisexual who has always equally loved both Willow/Oz and Willow/Tara, I’m excited to see that he’s said that she would be bisexual if he could do it over again (or if he was including og characters in the reboot). Willow’s always been bisexual to me.

This is not to knock on those who see Willow being lesbian. That interpretation is equally valid, and Willow being lesbian means as much to others as Willow being bi means to me.

But as a bisexual, there’s a very sad amount of bisexual representation, and (pre-Season 6) Willow has always been a character I’ve connected with immensely.

WHERE HAS WILLOW BEEN THIS SEMESTER? 

willow was having trouble with her mental health at the beginning of the semester that was affecting her overall school performance and health. a big part of this was linked to nightmares about her abusive past and just made things worse. so after talking with asher, her mom, and the school she decided what was best was to take a step back this semester. she took some of her school work home with her, dropping her sixth class to lighten the load and focused on her own mental health. after two months of therapy, stepping away from the spy world, and finding some medications that help her she has come back to gallagher with a clearer mind, feeling much more like herself. she has a lot of catch-up to do so her days of partying are behind her for now but she is excited to be back behind the driver's seat.

I know that Willow being lesbian or bi is always a debate, but I believe she truly loved and was attracted to Oz, and if she’d been having her “compulsory heterosexual” phase, that she would not have cheated on him with Xander. I do believe that Willow had two people who brought out the best in her—Oz and Tara—and that part of her will always love Oz, no matter if they never saw each other again post Season 4 or not. So, my Willow is bi, and she will, in a way, always be waiting for Oz.

Okay, after discussing with @ozwolff, I have decided that Oz and Willow’s relationship ends the way that Peter headcanons it. Here is a link to Peter’s post about it. I agree that Oz would never cheat on Willow, because Oz as a character is just....not like that, but also, writing-wise, it makes no sense. Willow cheated on Oz the previous season, and Oz decides that after all that pain, and forgiving her, and moving forward with her to go ahead and cheat on her? Nope. No thank you. I can accept things that I disagree with in canon if the writing backs it up, but it definitely did not, for the character or the narrative, in this case. so, please read Peter’s post to know how to discuss the end of the relationship with my Willow.
