I will never understand why most of the men in Buffy who hate “not being able to support her” because she’s stronger and way more physically capable don’t embrace the ways that they can support Buffy. Like Xander hating being donut boy? Riley being bitter that he was left to help around the house, being handed the perfect malewife opportunity?? Couldn’t be me. I’d pack Buffy little bags of snacks for patrol. I’d become a pro at getting blood stains out of clothing. She’d come back from patrol, rugs already vacuumed, soup on the stove, and I’d be like “hi honey how was the violence the death and violence looked fun was it fun?”. I’m gay btw.

#i mean I know the real reason is sexism but let’s just go with it for the sake of the joke ok #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #buffy summers #not gonna tag the boys in this one lmao #seasons 1-5 giles you are mostly the exception love you baby 😘#he shows up tries to have authority over Buffy for like 2.5 episodes realizes that’s not gonna work #and then embraces being in a support capacity… if only Riley could’ve cough cough #please take this as a joke everyone it’s a joke

The only thing more powerful than the Buffy writers' reluctance to give screentime to a woman over the age of thirty is the collective Buffy fandom's eagerness to seize on the slightest scrap of canon characterization as evidence that said thirty-plus-year old woman is some sort of monster.

The show: Willow Rosenberg likes spending time with her mother and does so willingly even after moving out (as we see, for example, in Forever) and her mother was keen to invite her high school boyfriend over for dinner to try to get to know him as soon as Willow admitted to her that he existed (at the end of Gingerbread) and her mother was fully accepting (literally "proud") of Willow when she came out as a lesbian (already implicit, but confirmed in The Killer In Me). Oh, but she has a full time job in academia and sometimes Willow wishes she paid her more attention (this despite the fact that Willow canonically does hide things from her all the time) and she doesn't always notice when Willow cuts her hair or properly remember her friends' names and she only met Willow's first girlfriend a few times.

The fandom: well, clearly Willow is as much a victim of parental abuse as Xander Harris or Amy Madison or Faith Lehane. This is a completely reasonable and proportionate conclusion to come to based on one on-screen appearance and some throwaway lines of dialogue.

I mean ... don't get me wrong. Shelia Rosenberg is not a good mother. She's not much more than a cardboard cutout, really. Less of a character than even Hank Summers, and that's saying something.

What she is, really, is the sort of lazy cliche you get in a lot of teen movies of the 1990s and 2000s (something which is true of Joyce Summers as well at times, only Sheila is permitted far less depth or screen presence or other redeeming features). She's a somewhat reactionary take on the idea of an adult woman who dares to have a professional career and therefore cannot "properly" attend to the needs of her children. A woman too busy focusing on the abstract (her academic study of "adolescent development") to care about the practical (the growing pains of her own teenage daughter).

(Get it? See, it's funny, because she's a woman with both a child and a career. What will those crazy feminists dream up next?)

As written, Willow's mother kind of sucks: not because she's a bad person but because she isn't written as a person at all. She's a joke, and not a good one.

But the weirdly popular idea On Here that Willow is somehow traumatized by having what is, by all accounts, a fairly ordinary and comfortable childhood is absurd. There is simply nothing in the text to support this.

#btvs #the one character on Buffy played by a woman over 30 who the fandom don't insist is an evil monster is Drusilla #which is pretty funny actually since she very much is one #like I love Drusilla and I think she should have been in the show much much more but she very much is capital E Evil #she cheerfully tried to end the world! twice! in one season! she literally eats children!#but she cannot be coded as a Bad Mother so she gets woobified to the role of loving and self-sacrificing innocent ex-girlfriend instead

jason todd is so buffy summers coded in that they both died heroes, then were resurrected against their wills because the narrative can never let them rest in peace, and they will keep acting as heroes and won't let themselves rest in life either.

#i watched like one season of btvs in middle school. i just listen to my darling talk a lot and when they told me about this?#it was like i got struck by lightning #they chase death in their own ways. also.#buffy summers #jason todd

you know, i love that episode of that supernatural magic drama tv show (the one with Anthony Steward Head as a father like figure!) where the dark haired character gets poisoned and their blond love interest goes off to fight for their life to get the antidote for the poison while the dark haired character cries out for them in their delirium while their friends take care of them until the blond returns with the antidote but there are complications and it's almost too late to save them but they're healed in the end!

Huh? What do you mean "which show are you talking about?"

#bbc merlin #buffy the vampire slayer #merthur #spangel #buffy summers #merlin #arthur pendragon #angel btvs #btvs #i was watching the buffy episode with friends #and said “this is like that one merlin episode” when Angel started moaning in his sleep #and my friend sighed deeply and went “yeahhh”#where's the Merlin btvs au we all crave #can you believe the buffy episode is the end of season 3 and the merlin one is the middle of SEASON ONE??#gay people are stronger #i'm sure this has been talked about before #but it was such a moment where me and my other merlin friend just looked at each other

saw someone say in the tags of a gifset that buffy and willow are the most important relationship in the show "to me". and i'm here to tell this person that it's not just you babe. they literally are the most important relationship in the show. it's the first relationship buffy establishes with anyone in sunnydale. in prophecy girl, she goes to fight the master after she sees how upset willow is. i need to reiterate that; buffy is full-on willing to die for willow, at the end of season 1, after knowing her for maybe four months. willow is the one who resurrects buffy because she literally can't live without her. and then whenever they're in conflict it becomes the season long arc (see seasons 4 and 6). willow and buffy working together is what changes the slayer line forever.

they are the show.

#no one is doing codependent slightly toxic bffs like them #they are the moment and the moment is all seven seasons of buffy the vampire slayer #it's not a coincidence that smg and alyson hannigan are the only two actors to appear in every single episode of btvs #buffy summers #willow rosenberg #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer
