Buffy the Vampire Slayer  |  3x07 - “Revelations”

you are my always

I do think a lot of the Fuffy subtext comes from the writing, but the parts that come from the acting are hilarious, because I don't think SMG was intentionally playing Buffy as having a crush, but we do know for a fact that Eliza Dushku was intentionally playing Faith as having a crush, and that nobody remembered to stop her. So she plays every scene like she is agressively seducing Buffy. Meanwhile SMG was obviously told "Faith represents Buffy's hidden urges and wants to lure her into them", so she obviously proceeded to play every scene like Buffy was being tempted by *something* and furiously repressing that temptation, and the resulting concoction is just the gayest dynamic imaginable.

“Weapons often reflect the character who uses them. A knife is a weapon where you need to be face to face with your enemy in order to kill them. It’s a much more direct weapon.”

— Doug Petrie on Faith’s knife in the BTVS DVD Weapons Featurette
