Do you guys think it means anything that Dawn (Buffy's girlhood/innocence) never really becomes close with Giles in the same way the other characters do

fundamentally a slayer is a human sacrifice. and a great deal of the conflict in the early seasons stems from buffy's rebellion against that reality. she doesn't just want to live, she wants to live like a person who has a future, who isn't fated to die before her brain finishes developing. and then the monks create dawn, this version of buffy who isn't the slayer, who actually has a life ahead of her. she is the living embodiment of everything buffy has ever fought for. the idea that dawn could also become a human sacrifice is unthinkable, so buffy chooses to finally accept her own death, the very thing she's been fighting against this whole time, in order to let this version of herself that has something to look forward to live. except it doesn't work! and she has to actually figure out how to live anyway, and how to coexist with the version of herself that she wishes she could be. insane shit. storyline of all time.

I’m watching buffy the vampire slayer for the first time, and the episode where dawn finds out she’s the key and gets all mad is literally just how I was at 14. like she wanted to prove she was a real person so much, and she literally proved she was a teenage girl. Burning her diaries was the realest thing she could have done
