btvs casting director: okay so this guy is going to be a major character in the show alright hes this vampire who was originally an Irish man named Liam. From Ireland. Where he grew up. In Ireland. btvs casting director: so crucially, we need to find an actor that CANNOT for the life of him do an Irish accent.

i need heavy and medic to get married because the concept of "Dr. and Mr. Humboldt" being Heavy and Medic, respectfully, would have the most insane comedic potential

actually im not done buffy is transgender for real. she's a girl, but she's something else too that the other girls at school aren't, and she knows that that identity automatically makes her an outsider from all the other girls at school. she likes who she is, but sometimes watching Cordelia, she can't help but long for the ease of being "normal". her friends love and support her, but they aren't like her, and she knows that means there are some parts of her life that they'll just never understand. she wants to be homecoming queen so badly, if only to prove to herself that she can be this other thing and also a regular high school girl at the same time. how she tries to hide her identity from her mother for as long as she can. how when she finally tells joyce, they get in a huge argument because joyce is so afraid of what this means for buffy's safety that she tries to stop her from being herself. the fact that buffy, arguing with her mother about her own identity, says "You think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is? How dangerous?" The fact that a stranger tells her "But you're just a girl." and she says "That's what I keep saying."

i do think a lot of people arguing over preferring angel or spike as characters really just boils down to spike being a lover cursed to be a monster, angel being a monster cursed to be a lover, and different people are just more compelled by one or the other

please answer honestly, or simply hit show results. if there's interest, i can make one for illusions as well. If there's any confusion on terminology, let me know and I'll be happy to explain.

reblogs to increase sample size are appreciated, but nobody is under any pressure to reblog this.

not by any means a new post but the parallels between being a slayer and being transgender make me crazy sometimes. you just want to be safe and normal and like everyone else but eventually you have to realise you can't escape who you are. you're not like them. you might learn to love your identity, later on in life, but right now you're in high school and if your peers find out about you you'll be ostracized. literally there's an entire organization made up of people you've never met, that don't even seem to view you as a real person, but think they can dictate exactly what you should and shouldn't be allowed to do. they don't want you to date. they don't even really want you to have friends, and they definitely don't want you to talk to anyone about what you are, lest others get sucked into this abnormal world you live in. buffy literally had to argue with her watcher over her being allowed to participate in high school sports, because she wanted to try out for the cheerleading team.

now hear me out here, have we ever considered the possibility that faith going dark side in s3 could have been due to the lack of Dunkin Donuts locations in Sunnydale and the surrounding area?
