thinking about an alternate season 7 wherein instead of every potential slayer being hunted and then activated, every past slayer gets brought back to life. I don’t really like post-chosen content anyway, but when I do read / look at it the whole slayer academy, everyone’s a slayer thing is really stupid to me ngl 💀

previous slayers, though… nikki wood and xin rong interacting with spike, actually finding out about the slayer before buffy, slayers with different backgrounds and situations and personalities, KENDRA?! I just love it so much.

you’d be able to focus on a relatively small cast of slayers, much like the potentials, throughout the season. this would include buffy, faith, kendra, nikki, and some other american slayers from varying time periods with a couple interesting international characters too (maybe a slayer from ancient greece / rome / egypt, or an anglo-saxon one or something). these are all experienced slayers, so no need to focus on training - it would be more about lore, history and their personal character journeys, assimilating them into society (creating some fun bottle episodes, maybe a day out on the town with dawn and a historical slayer) and trying to figure out why they were all brought back. also, if you want to keep the first as the main villain, then it can look like any one of them because they’re all technically dead, which means you can still have that episode with the dead potential revealing herself as the first and all the mistrust that’s threaded throughout the season.

plus with nikki back, there would be no need for the stupid sleeper agent thing with spike or the ridiculous fight between him and robin. all the same ideas (and the flashbacks to spike’s mum) could still be explored, and in a way better way imo.

I reckon the reason they were brought back would probably be the powers that be (tying nicely into angel ofc) trying to defeat the first. and of course the ending would be this huge battle, as all the slayers from around the world come to sunnydale, and maybe to add some drama they would all disappear and die again when the battle’s done as they have fulfilled their purpose (a classic finale knife to the heart that would have everyone sobbing, especially over nikki and kendra).

there’s also the added thing of like,, I appreciate the show was leaning towards a theme of “hope for the future” with the potentials angle, but literally every other aspect of the season is about harkening back to the past. faith, robin, the first taking the form of previous characters, the high school, the slayer origins, etc etc. so I just think this idea would work so much better with the themes of the season, and tie in really nicely.

and the most obvious perk of this concept is kendra! she was forgotten about so quickly, and this season would really give the writers a chance to redeem themselves for the terrible way poc characters have been treated throughout the show (ignoring what they did to robin. FUCK that but that’s another conversation). I think the show really downplayed how much kendra’s death would have affected buffy, and seeing the two of them interact after buffy has changed so much and kendra’s still the same would be amazing. there’s also the interesting concept that, having been brought back from the dead, kendra still be 17, and therefore closer in age to dawn than to buffy, which could make for some really nice interactions between the two of them. also of course the biggest most exciting thing is having buffy, faith and kendra all interact. they all represent places on a spectrum in terms of personality, and I would LOVE to see kendra and faith interact and how much of a unit they would likely become as a trio.

there’s also the theme of buffy feeling (and being) alone in this season that would hopefully go away, as she would now have dozens of people who truly understand her, giving her a proper support system which I would love to see (season 7 scoobies can actually eat shit btw <3)

so. was this born out of my hatred for insufferable kennedy and the annoying potentials? yes absolutely. do I now want them to rewrite and re-film the entire last season 20 years later? yes absolutely I’m so glad you understand

side note wouldn’t it be sick if in the final battle there’s just this one slo-mo shot where buffy stakes a vamp and through the dust she sees the first slayer looking at her from across the battlefield before she disappears amongst the fight. WHAT it would literally be awesome hello?!

also also other side note sorry but Mother(TM) nikki wood would NEVER kick buffy out of her own house. fuck them kids fr

"It was just another crystal sphere until the half-elven captain saw the double planet. When he ordered his privateer to move in and investigate, another surprise appeared -- the Spelljammer itself was in orbit!" In her cover painting "The Privateer," Robin Wood wove her signature into the embroidered hem of the captain's waistcoat. (Dragon 159, July 1990)

The thing about that whole speech Spike gives to Robin in "Lies my parents told me" Is that in basically saying that Nikki had a choice, and she chose slayerhood over her son, and she chose to die, and that in doing so we should have little sympathy for her or Robin, is that it kind of indirectly says we shouldn't have any sympathy for Buffy either. If we shouldn't care about Nikki because she "chose" this life, then why care about Buffy. It could even be argued Buffy had more of a choice than Nikki because of Kendra and later Faith. If Nikki's being a slayer overshadowed and negated her love for her son, then Buffy's being a slayer should negate her love for Dawn. If it's ok for Spike to kill her with no remorse, then it would have been fine for any other demon to kill buffy. If Nikki's death isn't tragic and just part of the game she knew she was getting into, then Buffy's deaths shouldn't be tragic either. If we shouldn't care about Robin's pain at losing his mother, then we shouldn't care about Dawn's pain at losing her sister. But of course, we do and are supposed to sympathize with buffy because she's the main character.

[comradesummers]

Can I ask why you don’t like lies my parents told me?

other people have put it better than i ever could, but in short, lies my parents told me is a deeply racist and misogynistic episode that bends over backwards to victim blame a black woman for being murdered by a white man. it's made all the worse because the episode actually had the potential to be good. robin wood is a really interesting character and the conflict between him and spike has a good set up. but because season 7 is the ensouled spike season, the writers no longer have any interest in presenting him as a complex and at times unlikable character. so rather than paying off the conflict they set up, they completely drop robin's arc, and make the whole episode about how spike has mommy issues for some reason. And he just wins in the end. no consequences, no real resolution, nothing. just the insane conclusion that nikki wood somehow didn't love her son because she let herself get murdered?? spike even gets to keep her fucking jacket. which honestly might be the most infuriating thing about the episode.

also, this is less important than the overt racism, but this is also the episode where giles betrays buffy, a conflict that isn't out of character per say, but it upsets me. all the more so because they never resolve it. not to mention they have buffy say that if she were once again given the choice between dawn's life and the world, she would choose to sacrifice dawn. and like i can interpret that as her being in denial or lying to herself, but it doesn't change the fact that this is the most out of character line in the entire show.

so yeah, not a fan.

Same robin and nikki doodles but (hopefully) a little easier to see. I gave him a jacket because i thought it’d be cute if he was constantly stealing nikki’s so they eventually gave him his own.

Dungeon 5, May/June 1987: "A powerful air elemental lays waste to the underground fortress of a mighty wizard. Robin Wood has captured the first meeting of the sorcerer with his nemesis in this month's cover painting." Note the artist's name worked into the decorated floor.

Rich Stump's AD&D adventure "Hirward's Task" presents an interesting situation for adventurers -- a wizard's laboratories still populated by his human and kobold underlings, whom the wizard wants protected and unharmed, but who are jumpy and quick to defend themselves due to some rampaging loose monsters.
