The first character I first fell in love with: Buffy, she’s been my hero for basically as long as I can remember and I don’t think I could ever have wanted such a good fictional role model
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Tara. I didn’t NOT love her I just mostly saw her as Wilow’s girlfriend when I was younger. Rewatching Buffy at fourteen after not really watching it for about five years made me properly notice her then getting Tumblr and seeing more and more people talk about her has made her my favourite just below Buffy and Dawn themselves.
The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Willow probably. I never used to feel all that strongly about her (she kind of faded into a sidekick background for me and Buffy, Giles and Dawn were my favourite when I was younger) but the more I watch it and the more meta I see about her and the more I look more into her character I feel angry. She could’ve been much better in herself and just better written but after season 3 she bugged me a lot as well as becoming whine-ir and manipulative and just not a good person.
The character I love that everyone else hates: I don’t know if people don’t love her but Drusilla? She’s batshit crazy and beautifully evil and female villians are like my favourtie in the entire world just below pizza and sleeping.
The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Uhhh… Willow is probably the only thing springing to mind in terms of characters I sort of dislike on Buffy but I never really loved her to begin with.
The character I would totally smooch: Spike, I’ve fancied him since I was like 8 so that still stands
The character I’d want to be like: Buffy r Dawn. Just the Summers girls are the best thing ever.
The character I’d slap: Nathan Fillion’s character!
A pairing that I love: Spuffy and Summers girls/happiness
A pairing that I despise: Despise is kind of strong but Angel and Buffy probably. Not that I don’t see their love or know how constructive it was for both of them and how it shaped them but I just never like shipped them (and ok shallowness intervenes her in that I never fancied David Boreanaz as a child so that probably influences it a little)
