Buffy X Willow - Tumblr Posts
watching buffy the vampire slayer and im at the part in s3 (episodes 2/3) when she comes back and honestly i cannot believe these people. between Xander blaming her every time he opens his goddamn mouth, willow avoiding her, everyone ignoring her and overlooking the fact that she saved all of them before "disappearing" and is now back to continue protecting them, and her mother saying it's worse now that she's back i really do not get why they aren't making any effort to reconnect with her and tell her what they've been through and how they can work it out :( sure it's been incredibly hard on them while she was gone but it was hard on her too
the girl is 17 and has the weight of the world on her shoulders please cut her some slack my god
season 3 ep 3 and faith just arrived and i cannot believe xander i swear he's my least favorite character ever
let’s talk about willow and faith hating each other and both having a crush on buffy. let’s talk about it
stop i was literally thinking about this so much last night. tv's messiest toxic lesbo love triangle TO ME. both willow and faith orbiting around buffy and basing so much of their identities around buffy but in completely opposite ways and resenting each other for being for buffy what they themselves can't be—the comfort of familiarity vs the thrill of danger, two opposite manifestations of intimacy; safety vs seduction, light vs dark, love vs love; one girl who feels like she's taken for granted and the other who feels like she'll never be chosen long-term... buffy who loves them both but neither of them can fill the role the other fills for buffy so they both feel rejected and jealous of the other because they both want buffy whole for themselves. and the kicker is that they both are vaguely aware of why they dislike each other but neither realizes the true root of the issue because they're both REPRESSED!!! not that knowing they're both lesbians would've helped with any of this but at least they'd be like, aware of Why they feel so strongly about it.
and obviously it goes beyond buffy too though she is always the crux because they wouldn't even be thinking so much about each other otherwise but like. both envying the other for being what they can't be in general. faith resenting willow for being loyal and innocent (which she secretly craves to be but is too traumatized to let herself be) and willow resenting faith for being rebellious and not conforming (which she secretly craves to be but is too afraid to let herself be). two mirrors one on each side of buffy.
anyway a polycule would not have fixed them but i still think they should've given it a try
