Imagine

You have been writing Doc letters every day since he left, but you never sent them. You have them all. Doc finds them all in a box. He reads them, as they are addressed to him, and finds himself at a loss for words. You catch him sitting on your bed with a letter in hand. He looks up at you with a smile. He doesn't have time to waste if all your feelings are true.

DOC HOLIDAY: “You had no right!”

WYNONNA: “I did what was right!”

DOC HOLIDAY: “Right would’ve been shooting that thing and us running for it!”

WYNONNA: “He wasn't always a thing, Doc. And if I'm gonna keep killing them and not go crazy, then I need more than revenge!”

DOC HOLIDAY: “God damn it, Wynonna, they’re bad people!”

WYNONNA: “So I’m just supposed to ignore that they’re people at all?”

Why is it always the heroes that are tortured by their past rather than their identity that have compassion for the “evil” they’re destined to kill? That think to and hesitate to use their weapon before they do it because they recognize that they’re looking into the eyes of a demonic thing who once was a someone. A person.

This is one thing I do not like about Buffy.

I know it’s her destiny as the Chosen One but she never stops to ask, to question, whether slaying every single vampire or killing every demon is necessary.

Or even whether they’re all demonically possessed.

The Watcher’s Council instilled this dogmatic ideology in her that when she comes across a grey area, she stakes first and asks questions later. It’s not healthy.

In Season 5 she even worries that she’s turning to stone because of what she has to do. That’s the only time she questions whether doing what she does affects or changes her for the worst. But they don’t go far enough with that storyline as far as I’m concerned.

And I’ve noticed that maybe it’s because she doesn’t understand what it feels like to have done those things that she condemns those vampires and demons for.

The Charmed sisters are the same way for the most part. They’ll try to ignore the grey area there until it bites them in the butt. Only Xena and clearly this Wynnona Earp girl really feel consumed by their actions. By their apparent “responsibilities” in taking out every single antagonist that may not even be evil - or aren’t anymore. Just like them. They’ve changed.

This is why Buffy and even the Halliwell sisters feel like hollow shells to me most of the time. Because they don’t truly recognize just how empty they really are inside to not feel anything when they kill or injure.

Yes, it’s because the lore of the show makes it a black vs white conflict. There’s not supposed to be any grey.

But I say the shows are much more compelling when not all evil is always evil and not all good is always good. Things get much more interesting this way. And that’s why Faith, Willow, Anya and Spike are great characters that know what it’s like to be both on the side of good and evil. Are both black and white and don’t have some condition that separates the shadow and light to a coin from being only ever the one coin.

One cannot be without the other.

That is the nature of yin-yang.

It is the nature of everything.

And characters that fundamentally understand this because they’ve been there - tasted the duality - are the only ones that will offer any real compassion to every living or unliving thing that has consciousness.

If your moral code is above compassion for consciousness - can you really call yourself a hero?

And so it’s funny that the ones that never do, are the ones that actually do the most heroic thing of all.

Which is to always have compassion even when they have the most tortured soul and the darkest past.

You can kill and injure your natural enemy. But if you have no understanding of them, you’re not justified.

This is distinguished in Buffy specifically by whether the natural enemy possesses a soul or doesn’t. Not by whether their behaviour in the moment is good/evil regardless of whether they are ensouled or soulless.

Which is then further based on a poorly educated and flawed understanding of that specific natural enemy.

They treat every single vampire or demon the same because to not do so would impact their moral code.

And they would have to question their own actions.

Excuse me - the actions of their ‘chosen’ draftees.

Dogmatic ideologies are never a good thing to go by. And the story of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ should be deconstructing them, not reinforcing them even more.

Buffy should have had a significant storyline or arc where she had to question and consider whether she was a murderer. Whether her and Faith were different. But instead what happens is Faith chooses of her own volition to turn herself in and Buffy remains absolved. And then when Faith finally comes back into the fold, she’s judged something awful for just going by her gut instincts rather than some nonexistent rule of law when that rule of law was never there for her anyway. An ensouled human that just needed understanding and a place to truly belong that didn’t condemn her. Of course the entity that would get through to her would be someone that personally chooses to feel responsible for his own evil actions even when they’re not something he should have to be responsible for if he is not the same entity as the one that committed them. Not anymore. That whole scene only hits as hard as it does because he refuses to play the “hero”. Buffy wouldn’t have even been able to make a dent in Faith’s armor because she doesn’t feel the anguish - the personal pain of being your own worst enemy and the need to cover the vulnerability of it with a weapon because humans only ever play the brute when all they’ve ever known themselves is that same brutality. I know hurt people hurt people. And I will stand by it.

Well, you know what? Least she’s been on both sides. This gave her more insight into the human condition than Buffy ever had. She was a hero because she chose to be one. Season 7 at least acknowledges this. With Spike, Faith, Willow and Anya. People change when you understand them as a person over a thing. And if they still continue to act a monster - oh well. It’s not as simple as black vs white or good vs evil or peace vs war. This is why I love Xena so fucking much.

I know the rules or laws of the lore are not the same because Xena isn’t a supernatural show for the most part. But even so - they’re not afraid to explore it. And it’s because the whole thing revolves around a main protagonist that is not a Chosen One or Champion. Just an ex-warlord that still struggles to be better than what she was. That rises and falls and faces the repercussions of both over and over again. Always. Buffy isn’t in the same situation so a lot is different. But there’s no shame in showing that maybe she gets it wrong every now and again and feels bad for it. So many of her friends fall from grace. You’d think that her instilled ideology would fall to pieces from that. That she’d realize that any entity with consciousness should have the chance to prove they’re not just a monster. That they possess some sense of morality. But she only ever affords that to those that she has personal bonds and attachments with. It’s her greatest flaw that makes her more interesting as a character but at the same time so empty as a person. It’s why I pay more attention to her “sidekick” instead. Because she’s a little more wavy even before the turn. And I’m always talking about it in affection not hatred. In admiration for how complex and morally grey she is. Because she really does go from one end to the other and she’s allowed to be treated as worthy of Buffy’s validation regardless. As her best friend and enemy. It is extremely profound that she is allowed to be both.

It’s so much better to have that in art/entertainment because you really get a story that way. And a story is what I want from a character. Not a perfect hero. Sure Buffy has her flaws and makes her mistakes and that’s great. But they just don’t go deep enough with them so I get a very one-dimensional picture of who she is even though she obviously has more layers or more dimensions to her than the narrative lets you see ‘cause “she’s a hero you see, she’s not like you or me.” But she’s a very surface-level hero because she can’t ever be the villain. Thus, she never understands one unless they are either her friend, human or ensouled. She never experiences the other side of the coin herself and that’s why she never questions herself and the degree to how far she goes in being the Slayer. Whereas with Xena and with Wynonna Earp, the whole point is that they’ve come from the other side first and thus, they don’t see two ends. One good, one evil They see a spectrum. A fluctuation. A balance. And then you’ve got me - a viewer - who only does too.

“It’s wisdom before weapons, Gabrielle.” 👍❤️

had an amazing time this weekend at EH Con. first con ive been to that was dedicated to a single fandom, and it was really inspiring to experience the community. i ended up pulling up my iPad to draw during a chill sesh. inspired in part by my friend anotherapril (ao3) saying that she would never write a kid fic, which was a big fat lie.
