Something Abt Willow Defying The Narrative Itself To Bring Buffy Back. Its So Selfish, And Thoughtless,

Something abt Willow defying the narrative itself to bring Buffy back. It’s so selfish, and thoughtless, and also the ultimate act of devotion.

She defies the laws of nature, she rips apart the fabric of reality, but she also defies the show itself. Buffy’s ending was always going to be a tragedy, she was always going to die young. Everyone knows this: Buffy, Giles, the showrunners, the audience. And that almost was the ending! The show was supposed to end in season 5, and obv external reasons led to it being continued, but in universe it’s willow forcibly continuing the story.

Willow was the only one who refused to accept that Buffy dying young was her ending. She defies the damn narrative to bring Buffy home bc that is her best friend!!! And yes it’s also abt her own power and showing that she can, but it’s also abt Buffy spending five seasons desperate to be more than just the slayer, and that Willow’s greatest kindness is refusing to let her die the way the narrative wants. Willow refuses to let Buffy suffer the destiny she’s tried to shirk from the beginning!! It’s abt Willow being physically unable to imagine a life without Buffy; a story without her best friend. They make me want to eat rocks.

It’s interesting to me that Malia is going down the same mental roads as Stiles w/r/t Scott. They’re both so sure that he will judge them and that he’ll stop loving them if they make mistakes or choices he will disagree with. It says so much about them as characters, the way they don’t truly believe they can be loved unconditionally, even though Scott has never withheld affection, love, or loyalty from any of his pack. 

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what

People asking for controversial doctor who opinions is funny because it's actually significantly harder to think of an uncontroversial doctor who opinion.
