buffy the vampire slayer <3
SEND ME A SERIES AND I'LL TELL YOU MY ….
FAVORITE CHARACTER : buffy anne summers ! forever and always. she is one of the most compassionate heroes. she is funny, she is beautiful, she is strong, she is kind, and she is stubborn. she def has her faults, but they don't outweigh the good by a long shot. i like that she doesn't just follow orders and marches to the beat of her own drum, and i also love that buffy is so protective of her friends and family and won't hesitate to jump in the line of fire for them at any time. i still love that she sacrificed herself to save dawn in s5, she was determined to find another way that didn't risk dawn's life ( i will not and will never acknowledge that in s7 she admitted that she would be willing to kill dawn to save the world now. THAT'S NOT MY BUFFY. ) she's been a hero of mine since i was a child and always will be. sometimes, i even ask myself … what would buffy do? i stg.
SECOND FAVORITE CHARACTER : it's a toss up between cordelia chase and tara mcclay, and faith lehane. honestly ??? a fashionista, a witch, and a baddie. cordelia because she was more than just the ‘popular girl.' she started off that way, but she grew as a character every season. she was so funny and proved to be a way better friend / person than anyone anticipated. tara for easily being the warmest and most kind to ever exist on the show. from the second i saw her … i was IN LOVE. i stg. IN LOVE. a great friend & lover too ( s6 magic - junkie willow, wtf ??? ). faith because she was one of the most complex character's to ever enter the show. she was so starved for love and that's one of the main reasons she was so drawn to the mayor. i also really loved the relationship between buffy / faith ( as friends or lovers. but fuck faith was in luv with her. ) honorable mention spike — i didn't include him because i didn't love him in seasons 6 and 7 ( and some points in 5 ). i felt like they went in a totally different direction with his character and made some real questionable decisions.
LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER : xander harris. sorry to anyone who likes him, but he just… he can be so selfish and i honestly loathed the way he threw his crush on buffy in willow's face in the early seasons. that was one of the first ick's but !!! he's just not for me.
THE CHARACTER I'M MOST LIKE : i've been told that some things i say feel very buffy - coded and i have some of her traits, but i don't see it. dfgdfg i feel like, maybe a cross between willow / oz / tara ... which is kind of funny since oz and tara both dated willow LOL.
FAVORITE PAIRING : it's a complete tie — tara / willow and i know this is an unpopular opinion, but buffy / angel. tara / willow had this undeniable connection and chemistry right from amber's introduction into the show. you instantly felt that spark and the actresses did such a beautiful job showing that rat of the bat. tara truly made willow a better person and i think tara is and will always be the one true love of her life. buffy / angel because the chemistry between sarah and david was undeniable, every scene was so beautiful and stunning. i truly feel that angel was buffy's forever love. she was somehow reminded of him or connected with him in every season, even after he was gone from the series. they had some of the most heartbreaking moments in the show.
LEAST FAVORITE PAIRING : xander / cordelia : they truly lacked romantic chemistry fro the get-go imo and it never grew from what i could see. i never could take them seriously as a couple and the fact that xander ch*ated on cordelia still makes me scream.
FAVORITE MOMENT : toss up — my first favorite is her prom ( 3x20 ), the episode gutted me in general, but seeing the entire school recognize all that buffy does for sunnydale and the people as a whole without any really knowledge of who she is. the umbrella was so cute and her adorable smile after she receives it. dfgfdg ugh the whole scene is so important to me and THEN angel shwing up at the end to give her the night she wanted … UGHHHH. it was just so perfect. “every now and then people surprise you” - “every now and then?” I AM YELLING. my second favorite is when buffy sacrificed herself ( the gift, 5x22 ), the entire episode had me locked tf in, but the end when she's standing on the tower and thinking back to the message from the first slayer, thinking about how dawn is a part of her and fully realizing that the world and dawn are worth dying for. DGFDG it was such a powerful moment for her character and sometimes, i wish the show ended after season 5. oop.
RATING OUT OF 10 : 10000000000000/10, i can not recommend this show enough! it's my comfort show forever and always.
