PRO TIP if you figure out any free periods that you have that buffy doesn't, you can go to the library and actually have a really normal experience
Sometimes? But like you’ll still have to deal with:
Buffy’s weird friends hanging out with the librarian.
one of my friends walked in on the librarian fencing? With the air? And when he noticed her he just sort of threw it under the table and acted like nothing happened.
Another walked in on him and Ms. Calendar HEAVILY making out. He described it as “the type of thing you’d see if you opened the janitors closet during fourth period”
the librarian reading the weirdest books known to man.
also only half the books in the library aren’t weird cryptozoology shit.
Sometimes one enters the library and has a normal time. I did this morning. Today was a good day :3

(ignoring ATS and the last season and a half of Buffy because I’m halfway through s6 and haven’t seen Angel yet)
Which One Of These Characters Do You Think Hates Angel The Most?
note: I know from one of those “previously on” things in s4 that Faith was in ATS. Maybe her relationship with Angel mended on ATS, if so please don’t tell me since I haven’t seen it yet. I am basing this on their relationship in s3, in which she was down to kill him in Revelations despite not knowing who he was, and in which she also shot him with a poisoned arrow. Seems pretty not friendly.
Please reblog for a larger sample size (if you want to.)

in s2e03 when Spike was supposed to wait for the Feast of Saint Vigeous to make any move on Buffy but crashed the parent-teacher conference instead, and later said in his own defense “I was rash. And if I had to do it all other again...who am I kidding? I would do it exactly the same.”
in s2e07 when Buffy was supposed to wait until nine to meet up with Ford but came hours early when the sun was still up outside and said “I just couldn't wait till tonight! I'm rash and impulsive. It's a flaw.”

I want to talk about Buffy and Angel's relationship in Ted (and, I guess, Bad Eggs as well, a little). And I think it's a good time to look at them together - for one thing, at this point, post-What's My Line, I think they are definitely in a relationship, rather than the weird murky situation they were in for most of the early season. And in two episodes time, Angel's going to lose his soul - this is basically the peak of their Season 2 relationship, and also of what I see as Angel's pre-'Surprise' arc, of him gradually becoming less of a complete fucking disaster.
So now in Ted, we see them together as boyfriend and girlfriend, and... well, the scene starts with her talking his ear off complaining about Ted and him clearly bored. It's not as bad as it sounds - he's pretty good in this scene, and gives Buffy some sensible advice. (Ignoring the fact that Ted turns out to be abusive and also a robot, which isn't a factor yet.) This might be the first time in the series that Angel actually seems more emotionally mature than Buffy, and he uses that maturity to be a good, supportive boyfriend helping her through her issues...
But...
This is also a scene where Buffy is very much a teenager and Angel very much isn't. (This is also in an episode partly about Buffy's parental issues, which seems relevant to their relationship but I'd like to ignore for ick reasons.) His maturity is an advantage here, but there's also a clear disconnect between them, and that becomes more apparent as Angel gradually works his way towards being a functional person.
Bad Eggs is similar. Again, we see the positive side of their relationship, in the form of fun makeouts, but we also see the shadow of deeper problems in their relationship from a long-term perspective - the fact Angel can't have kids, Buffy's immaturity and inability to think about the future (for both normal teenager and doomed slayer reasons).
I am glad we get this period of them being mostly happy together, of their relationship mostly working - it's not just all-angsty- melodrama-all-the-time, a common failure state for their relationship and for Buffy as a whole. But even at the best of times, the issues in their relationship are always present - not the grand, dramatic problems that are the focus of Season 2, but the mundane issues that are the reason they ultimately break up in Season 3.
