#also Giles became her father figure as well including a near verbatim version of the B99 meme

[doctorbluesmanreturns]

Writing fic is sometimes like “I love canon and this happens in the blank areas between events that actually were depicted” and sometimes like “well you know WHAT, actually they NEVER betrayed their friends or sided with evil, how about THAT?!”

#this is specifically about Faith on btvs #like actually no she was a deep cover agent who helped them defeat the mayor #then went on to go to UC Sunnydale and majored in something ridiculously smart #also Giles became her father figure as well including a near verbatim version of the B99 meme #she also got rid of most of the stuff the mayor gave her but kept the playstation #then also got a Nintendo 64 through probably legal means #she got super into Ocarina of Time and later Majora’s Mask #and also bought Mario Kart to be able to have parties with her friends #she’s currently one of those people who argue that the polygon graphics for original Crash and Spyro look better than the remastered ones #also she has a YouTube channel where she sometimes mentions being a slayer #but she’s a retro game reviewer so everyone just thinks she means Castlevania #I realize this turned into borderline flanderization but I feel like a more mentally stable Faith would be such a gamer #she loves fighting anyway and was getting reckless and looking for trouble #so the healthy version of that is gaming specifically anything where you fight enemies #Giles checks on her one time and she literally just got done with patrol and immediately started playing Doom #he tried to get her into something less similar to real life and gave her his old copies of King’s Quest V and VI #which she claims to love ironically but genuinely thinks are really fun apart from V being so hateful #(Giles gave her out of context hints after a 45 minute phone rant about getting trapped in the Inn) #but anyway getting into Sierra led her right to Gabriel Knight thus thwarting Giles’ plan to get her to do stuff unrelated to her life #(also Giles totally loves adventure games especially King’s Quest #he doesn’t HATE technology he hates that internet research was threatening to replace books)
