Mothman's Buffy Rewatch, Season 3, episode 3, "Faith, Hope, and Trick"

Faith, Hope, and Trick

She also didn't slay

IS THIS THE FAITH EPISODE

"I think what my daughter's trying to say is 'nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah'" LMAO RARE JOYCE W

Normalize bullying British people /j

"Who's more sensitive than me?" WILLOW NO

Giles is such a hater can't a girl have hobbies

AHH Buffy is so pretty in this party scene

Who tf is Scott

He's probably gonna die by the end of the episode

FAITH??????

Why is the guy she's dancing with so goofy

Ok I feel bad for Scott he got his hopes up

I like Faith's shirt

Omg it's the first time she calls Buffy 'B'

I love how earnest Faith is when trying to connect with Buffy :(( in her own way

EVERY TIME THEY PLAY THAT FUCKING ANGEL I BURST OUT LAUGHING

Aw Giles got excluded :(

Xander stop being horny for two seconds

Faith's a fry-stealer this is the worst thing she's done ever

"I have tried to march in the slayer pride parade" they are really hammering in the metaphor huh (I'm here for it)

F does not roll off the tongue like B

Faith struggling to get up in the background is sending me

"My dead mother hits harder than that" girl what

Faith has a lot of issues

He lived for kissing toast ❗️❗️🗣🗣

"My bestest new little sister comes to town" is this foreshadowing. Is this a Dawn Summers reference

NOO HE GAVE HER THE SAME RING

Oh shit Faith knows Kakistoes

Oop Buffy knows

Aw I'm sorry Faith I feel so bad for her and her Watcher "they don't have a word for what he did to her" what the fuck

Yeah I'd be screaming in fear too I actually like seeing this vulnerable side of Faith, I didn't remember from my first rewatch

THE GUY IN THE KEYHOLE SCARRD ME WJST THE FUCK

Aw Buffy is being reassuring

Poor Faith :( Eliza acts fear and panic so well it really gets me

Well dang. That is, in fact, a bigger stake

Buffy is finally sharing her trauma yippee!!

"I told him that I loved him, then I kissed him, and then I killed him" ouch

Damn Scott survived good for him !! (He will likely die later or be forgotten by the show writers)

Is the ring gonna bring Angel back

Ew naked Angel

#buffy the vampire slayer #mothman's buffy rewatch #btvs #buffy summers #willow rosenberg #rupert giles #xander harris #faith lehane #oz btvs #angel btvs

Joyce J. Scott (born 1948) is an African-American artist, sculptor, quilter, performance artist, installation artist, print-maker, lecturer and educator. Named a MacArthur Fellow in 2016, and a Smithsonian Visionary Artist in 2019, Scott is best known for her figurative sculptures and jewellery using free form, off-loom beadweaving techniques, similar to a peyote stitch. (wiki)

Joyce Scott associates her beadwork with American Indian, African American, and West African cultures. Scott grew up in Baltimore and trained in fine art and art history. Drawing on past generations of craftspeople in her family, she adapts the traditions of handcrafted beadwork to create edgy imagery that often suggests issues of race and gender. The expressive faces in Africa appear to tell a story, but Scott invites us to form our own ideas about what the piece means. She used the “peyote” stitch to craft the necklace, a technique that derives from American Indian beadwork. The name comes from the peyote cactus, which is eaten during spiritual ceremonies with a beaded utensil. (SAAM)

Arroyo Hondo, Santa Fe Co, NM. Photo: David Marcos Sandoval (Jan 2024) :: [Robert Scott Horton]

* * * *

“He drew forth a phrase from his treasure and spoke it softly to himself: —A day of dappled seaborne clouds. The phrase and the day and the scene harmonised in a chord. Words. Was it their colours? He allowed them to glow and fade, hue after hue: sunrise gold, the russet and green of apple orchards, azure of waves, the greyfringed fleece of clouds. No, it was not their colours: it was the poise and balance of the period itself. Did he then love the rhythmic rise and fall of words better than their associations of legend and colour? Or was it that, being as weak of sight as he was shy of mind, he drew less pleasure from the reflection of the glowing sensible world through the prism of a language manycoloured and richly storied than from the contemplation of an inner world of individual emotions mirrored perfectly in a lucid supple periodic prose?”

— Joyce, J., 2000. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. London: Penguin Books. p. 180-181.
