Omg what no. Faith was such an important character and her redemption arc in the last season was one of the main reasons i finished Buffy. Faith is so important and i love her so much. I hope she gets it and I feel like she totally will. Have fun dude!
Right??? Like I love her so much & honestly most of the people I know feel the same way? My mom and my sisters are some of the very few exceptions, and my mom honestly has Bad Opinions on Buffy anyway, and neither of my sisters have seen much of the show, so one of them is just going with my mom's opinion and the other one literally only hates her because her husband finds Faith attractive lol, but my family will die before giving credence to anything they don't want to believe so *shrug*
Anyway thanks so much Haleigh <3 I hope she gets it too, and I'm sure it'll be cool once I actually get there and can stop thinking of how it could go wrong.

Maybe work out what to say beforehand about an aspect of Faith's character/journey specifically that means a lot to you so that it doesn't come across as superficial? The less chance you give her to misunderstand the more comfortable you'll be. though if your family makes you too uncomfortable about it that's completely understandable, I'm sorry they're like that D:
That's a good idea, like I was going to be mentally rehearsing but it's a good idea to try to think of specifics. I'll have to steer away from talking about how Relatable I find like, the end of Five By Five for example if my family is going to be in earshot lol, but I can definitely talk about her redemption arc and how hard she works to do the right thing even if she knows the scales will never balance out.
As for my family, thanks. I think it'll be fine? Like they (should) know better than to say something about how attractive I (supposedly) find her in front of her, & they'll probably be trash after the fact no matter how much I say to her so why back out on it, so I just need to find some amusement in how incredibly wrong and heteronormative they are.

^^second all that. is there any way to write her a little note? and just tell her as you give it to her like ‘thank you so much, faith really means/t a lot to me’ or however you want to phrase it? regardless, i’m really happy you get to meet her. hold on to how cool that is, even if it doesn’t go perfectly. <3
I could do that, that’s a good idea. I’m not sure I have Enough to say to do it? but I will def keep it in mind as a good backup. I think I should be okay to just say something to her, my experience last time I met people at a con was that even with my family there it was pretty much one-on-one, so hopefully they won’t have space to butt in or anything anyway. And thank u Beck <3 That is def true and I don’t want to get so caught up in what ifs that I don’t appreciate it lol.
