I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer but one thing always bothered me and I was reminded of it as I read Brittana fic where Santana is the Slayer.
No one can know you're the Slayer because it would put them in danger because the vampires will target people closest to you.
Um...won't the vamps target them whether they know you're the Slayer or not?
Think about it ... If the people you care about know you're the Slayer, then they know the danger and can act accordingly.
If they don't know you're the Slayer, then they (obviously) don't know vampires are real and won't be on their guard.
WTF difference does it make to the VAMPIRES if your loved ones know?
Santana is the Slayer, Brittany doesn't know, but everyone knows Brittany is important to Santana.
Ergo ... They go after Brittany. It matters not at all that Brittany doesn't know that Santana is the Slayer.
And you're lying to everyone about where you're going and what you're doing so they're getting pissed at you.
It's probably the dumbest rule ever.
