[juniperhillpatient]

the thing about faith lehane is that she is so fragile & delicate & hurt but the world made her believe that she couldn’t be those things (not safely) & so she became cruel. my siblings & I re watched ‘faith hope & trick’ last night & it’s been a while since I watched that one. I think the scene where she’s beating the shit out of a vampire yelling “this is me, you undead bastard” after a comment about how her dead mother hits harder than him is brought up a lot & for good reason. but the show goes on to drill into the audience how angry & hard faith is. that’s pretty core to her character & her fall from grace. we know that

what about the scene in the hotel where she’s faced with kakistos & she’s crying & falling on the ground repeating “no no no” & buffy has to drag her out of there? what about the scene right before she kills kakistos where buffy has to remind her to fight because she’s just letting him beat her? the thing about slayers is that they’re not allowed to be vulnerable AND strong, not really, not until the very end when all the slayers are called to work together. and it does have to be that way narratively, too.

buffy’s first love has to become her worst enemy after she sleeps with him. buffy has to be punished brutally for opening up to parker & reminded that people are cruel & the world is unforgiving & buffy has to lose riley because she’s not open enough (that’s not the real reason imo but it is narratively framed that way) & buffy has to refuse to be open with spike or emotionally available to him because she’s been forced to believe that she CAN’T be vulnerable with anyone by that time.

because the story demands it. buffy the vampire slayer is a story that knows it’s a story. it’s meta in a sense we don’t often see - not with quippy one liners that break the 4th wall - but with a crushing knowledge that the characters are trapped in the narrative & they can’t escape.

kendra learns to be more social & treat herself like a person not just a weapon & to open up to buffy & treat the scoobies as friends & she’s killed right away. buffy’s romances all fall apart until she meets someone who’s willing to accept the ways she can’t be open with him & then he dies. faith’s very introduction is framed in a way that posits that her killing the thing chasing her (her past) is the proper way to deal with it. so why would she ever assume that dealing with things through violence is wrong? when that’s the story she’s in?

Her Name Alone Invokes Awe (Faith, Hope, and Trick)

If we view the show as a metaphorical representation of Buffy’s journey into adulthood - with adulthood always bound to slayerhood - then this point in the series marks an interesting moment, as Buffy has completed the first step of her journey. In Season One she accepted her destiny. In Season Two she accepted the responsibility of making choices forced upon her by that destiny. She opens Season Three by passionately embracing her destiny - claiming both her Girl and Slayer halves as essential components in her self-identity. She is no longer a child in terms of mental maturity, and in nine episodes time she will no longer legally be one either. She is entering adulthood - or rather, much like Willow in this episode’s opening, she has been dragged into it. The question is no longer “will Buffy accept her metaphorical adulthood?” It is “what does her metaphorical adulthood mean to her?” It is “who is Buffy Summers, anyway?”

The show explores these, as it so often does, through another character. Characters on this show always exist in twofold - as themselves, and as metaphorical representations of Buffy’s component parts. The Heart; the Mind; the Child; the Shadow. Until now, the last of these roles has been filled by Cordelia. The Shadow represents temptations and suppressed desires, and so Cordelia, who represents the pre-Sunnydale Buffy, was designed for this role. She was a Buffy who ignored her destiny - a temptation that Buffy had been on a journey to resist. With Buffy having accepted her destiny - her Slayerness - Cordelia is no longer required in this role, and so will have only one more last hurrah of an episode in which she performs it. Buffy must gain a new Shadow.

And so here, in Season Three’s true premiere, She enters. She takes central position in this season, acting both as the arguable Big Bad and Buffy’s primary foil. She, unlike the slayer that preceded her, acts as a genuine challenger to Buffy’s position as Hero of this narrative, and will battle her for control. She is more than a Shadow. I have referred to her as Buffy’s ‘Prime Shadow’ before, but a better phrase may be Buffy’s Inverse. She is Buffy, filtered through another lens, and the show will make no subtleties of that fact. She exists to show us who Buffy is - to question who she could be. She is her mirror. Her twin. The photographic negative of her soul.

Her name is Faith.

[jennycalendar]

have had some time to reflect n sleep and i think what makes me so viscerally uncomfortable about faith, hope, and trick is that it's making these insanely delicious promises that i know the show will not actually ever deliver on! it explores the notion of buffy's ptsd in such a real harsh interesting way with angel as a part of her past instead of a part of her present. it makes me really long for a version of the show where angel remains a part of her past and we get to see her process that in slow strokes instead of yanking him back from the dead. i am thinking so much as i watch this about how angel was supposed to remain dead for season three, and how differently this might have gone were that the case.

because like -- buffy and angel can't be together. season two established that. so it feels weird to have season three going "why CAN'T they be together?" when the question has already been answered with a body count and multiple friends of buffy's traumatized. my memory of season three is foggy so maybe they will handle it better than i remember! i know i have already been surprised so many times by the difference in my opinions when i was fourteen and my opinions now, so it's very possible that angel shows up and i'm like "never mind i love how weird this is." but as things stand right now i'm not totally convinced.

#celia watches btvs #i reserve final judgment till my actual completion of season three #only guarantee is me hating amends <3 #ANYWAY i LOVED faith hope and trick it sets out to comment on buffy's ptsd and it does so GORGEOUSLY #and also faith and buffy are so clearly in love the whole time? #like the CHEMISTRY. SIZZLING.

[all-seeing-ifer]

OH i only just now realised that the music playing the season 3 scene where scott gives buffy a claddagh ring and she freaks out is a distorted version of buffy and angel's theme. oh that hurts oh you fucking got me good christophe

#ifer's btvs rewatch #ifer rambles #buffyverse #buffy the vampire slayer #'isabel why are you watching faith hope and trick again you're almost at the end of season 4' #some of us have animated shorts about emotionally repressed teenagers and their father figures to storyboard and need references

[spikesdru]

my rewatch of faith hope and trick btvs 3x03:

Filing this opening scene away as one of my favourite Scooby moments

The way Xander and Cordelia just hold hands feels so organic and natural. I know Xander sucks but those two are underrated

What is the point of Scott Hope? I get he’s supposed to be a rebound for Buffy but ugh

I just realized Cordy is wearing cross earrings. Smart

Lord this bangel dream. Their chemistry is too much, and the CLADDAGH rings? LET ME LIVE IN PEACE

Angel’s decomposed face, laugh and the words “I did [go to hell]” are really so haunting

Buffy and Joyce teasing Snyder is gold. Well-deserved 

“The mayor on line 1” OH I’M LOVING THIS BUILD-UP

Yeesh Scott u have no game

UGH CORDELIA LOOKS SO GOOD

Faith!!!!

FAITH WENT OUT BUCK-NAKED TO GO FIGHT VAMPS?! Omfg

NOT THE FLASHBACK TO BUFFY KILLING ANGEL

LMAO FAITH CALLING GILES HANDSOME AND WILLOW DOESN’T RAISE HER HAND IN DISGUST HAAAA

Oh WHAT are those shoes they put Buffy in

I think this ep is a good start to the Buffy//Faith relationship except everyone loving Faith works against her writing later on

“B….Uffy” can we also talk more about Aly’s comedic timing?

Joyce is having a pretty underwhelming reaction to the fact that Buffy died

“Slayer pride parade” wow really hit the metaphor right on its head huh

I like that the topic of Angel is what gets Buffy to finally snap on Faith

Faith being way too violent on that vamp is a good detail for later

Poor Giles not being invited to that watcher retreat

Buffy. BUFFY. You’re charmed by this Scott moron?

OH MY GOD NOT THE CLADDAGH RING 

Buffy is hurting so bad, oh my dear, you’ll heal

Wow I remember nothing from this ep, I forgot Faith’s watcher was dead and Kakistos knows faith

LOOL GOTTA LOVE MR TRICK

So one master vampire gets cloven hooves, another looks like an old bat. What are the good parts abt being a master vamp

Buffy’s confession about killing Angel is SO SAD

Buffy. Why can’t you date ME instead

OH THIS ENDING SCENE IS TAKING ME OUT 

OH TO WATCH THIS IN REAL TIME

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Wednesday, January 31

JOYCE: Well, there are some things I'd be happy to see you share. Like the slaying. I mean, two of you fighting is safer than one, right? BUFFY: I guess. JOYCE: Unless, I mean, you heard her. She loves the slaying. Couldn't she take over for you? BUFFY: Mom, no one can take over for me. JOYCE: But you're going to college next year. I think it would be... BUFFY: Mom, the only way you get a new Slayer is when the old Slayer dies. JOYCE: Then that means you... When did you die? You never told me you died! BUFFY: It was just for a few minutes.

BTVS ships episode count review

I was thinking about Buffy's 3 main ships (to me): Bangel v. Spuffy v. Fuffy. I was wondering how many episodes (BTVS or ATS) where each ship has scenes together. Then inspired by these two polls I decided to add in two other non-Buffy ships: Gethan and Spangel.

Kudos to the Fuffy and Gethan shippers, who are working with not a TON of episodes with scenes together. Especially Gethan shippers, who only have 4 canon episodes! To be fair, Spangel fans only had 13 until S5 of ATS.

Summary ship episode count: Spuffy (Spike x Buffy): 71 Bangel (Buffy x Angel): 49 Spangel (Spike x Angel): 35 Fuffy (Faith x Buffy): 21 Gethan (Giles x Ethan): 4

Any blatant negative ship comments, like calling a specific ship indecent will get you blocked. Ship and let ship. Other comments welcome.

Full details under the cut!

What's the Universe? The TV Buffyverse. (BTVS TV or ATS TV eps, the comics and books don’t count.)

How to start? I started with the pre-count. The pre-count is episodes where both characters in the ship appeared.

Spuffy pre-count: 96 (inc. 0 on ATS) Bangel pre-count: 56 (inc. 2 on ATS) Spangel pre-count: 42 (inc. 22 on ATS) Fuffy pre-count: 21 (inc. 1 on ATS) Gethan pre-count: 4 (inc. 0 on ATS)

How to verify? I did not rewatch all the episodes! I rewatched a few, after checking transcripts, recaps, and ship gif pages.

What doesn't count? Someone talking about the other person, because I am not trying to include the various episodes where Faith is haunting the show. They must appear in a scene together for it to count. They must both be fully aware of each other. Shared dreams (like the Fuffy ones) do count, but regular dreams do not. Buffy Bot, Wishverse Buffy, and FirstEvil Buffy do not count. I treated Faith and Buffy as their "mental" selves during the two body swap episode scenes. Also I treated Angel the same as Angelus and soul-less Spike the same as soul-ed Spike.

Notes per Ship...

Spuffy (Spike x Buffy) 71 total S1: 0 / S2: 7 / S3: 1 / S4: 9 / S5: 18 / S6: 17 / S7: 19 / ATS: 0 4x06 Wild At Heart does not count because in the cemetery she is not aware he can hear her speech "to him." 4x16 Who Are You? does not count because Spike encounters Faith in Buffy's body, so I counted that as a Faith-Spike scene. 4x22 Restless also does not count because while he appears in Xander's dream and so does Buffy, this is Xander's dream so neither appearance counts. 5x08 Shadow does not count because he dreams of her, but it's not a shared dream. Bangel (Buffy x Angel) 49 total S1: 6 / S2: 19 / S3: 18 / S4: 1 / S5: 1 / S6: 0 / S7: 2 / ATS: 2 (S1) 3x03 Faith Hope and Trick does not count because when naked Angel appears at the end Buffy has already left. 3x09 The Wish does not count because Wishverse Buffy is not regular Buffy. 4x08 Pangs does not count because Buffy is not aware of him. Spangel (Spike x Angel) 35 total S1: 0 / S2: 10 / S3: 1 / S4: 0 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / S7: 0 / ATS: 24 (S1, 2, 5) 4x08 Pangs does not count because Spike does not share a scene with Angel. 7x21 End of Days and 7x22 Chosen both do not count because while Spike watches Angel, Angel does not seem to be aware of him watching. For ATS, besides all of S5, they share scenes in 1x03 In The Dark and 2x07 Darla.

Fuffy (Faith x Buffy) 21 total S1: 0 / S2: 0 / S3: 13 / S4: 2 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / S7: 5 / ATS: 1 (S1) Every Faith appearance in a BTVS episode means she will have a scene with Buffy. She has 5 Buffy-less episodes on ATS. I did count the dream sequence in 3x22 Graduation Day Part 2 because I read it as a shared dream. They are both aware of the other.

Gethan (Giles x Ethan) 4 total S1: 0 / S2: 2 / S3: 1 / S4: 1 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / ATS: 0 Similar to Faith, whenever Ethan appears in an episode, he will have a scene with Giles.

This doesn't have visualization yet but I wanted to share the results.

BTVS s3 is so gooooodddddd and because I am the specialist girl in the world and deserve a treat, Dead Man’s Party (Infuriating Episode/should have been and could have been good/instead chose to do …all that/ends with Willow literally calling Buffy mean names) is sandwiched between Anne (genius exploration of Buffy’s trauma and of the way Buffy and the world she’s in need each other/the literal communist revolution) and Faith, Hope, and Trick (also genius!/ all the potential ways they could learn from each other and all the ways their trauma will squander the opportunity/hungry and horny).

It truly might be the most mixed bag of the BTVS 3-part season openers, but thank god Faith is here. ❤️

#s3 is soooo good that the rewatch has been happening too fast for me to even pause and jot down thoughts here #but I had to make time to shit on dead man’s party #it is just that bad ❤️ #buffy rewatch #tv #btvs #a
