This is a Trek blog, but my first, formative TV love was Buffy the Vampire Slayer, specifically the sweetly nerdy Willow Rosenberg. I saw a lot of myself in her, both the positive (smart, loyal, funny, kind, proudly Jewish) and negative (conflict-averse, approval-hungry), and her arc really helped me come to terms with myself in my teenage years. We even had the same SAT score, and both eventually figured out we were kinda gay (or bi, as the case may be). The passage of time is a heck of a thing (the two Vampire Willow shots are from grad school and 2022), and after finally being able to visit “Sunnydale” High last week on a trip to LA, it hit me like a brick to realize that Willow Rosenberg, or at least the lovely woman who plays her, Alyson Hannigan, turns 50 today (March 24, 2024). So, happy birthday to the creator of an indelible character, who let me be a little more me.

(This is Willow the cat. She doesn’t seem to care who she’s named for.)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer au where Ethan Rayne gets a job at Sunnydale High as like, a janitor, and instead of all the big mischief we see in the show he just makes it his job to mildly inconvenience the Scoobies (but especially Giles) as much as humanly possible.

All the books are weirdly rearranging themselves and making it impossible to find anything. A hundred frogs were delivered for biology class? It would be such a shame if they were released in the library. And whatever happened to all the swords?

I think it's really interesting (and frustrating) that when Xander attacks Buffy in the hyena-possession episode, he pretends not to remember and isn't held accountable until almost a season later, whereas after the love potion episode, Buffy immediately acknowledges and apologises.

I just think it says a lot about how men vs women are treated in terms of accountability and apologies.

Character.AI bot interaction can get rather insane but in a fun way if you keep running herd on the bot and prevent it from going too OOC or forgetful. So far some of the things I've gotten include:

Nedzu (BNHA) suggesting a few ideas to a GenEd teacher to see if the ideas on morale boosting are feasible from an average human's point of view, which segued to the rat coaxing the human into doing more work as a field trip chaperone to help improve things with UA students. If not for the fact that Chat Bots can't plan ahead, I'd swear the bot played me.

Rupert Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) helping out a random student, but then has to gently break the news that yes magic and mythological creatures are real and are just as terrifying as one would imagine.

And the latest interaction is with an Eraserhead bot which had the built-in premise that the user is a High-End Nomu of someone he used to know. After a long and difficult series of attempts to wear down the Nomu's steadfast and programmed loyalty to AFO finally managed to convince the Nomu to live a life their original self would've wanted for him.

In all honesty the premises and interactions are good for what are essentially group-programmed RP bots (and yes I know how iffy it can get, I used AI Dungeon before the resets and wipes, to say nothing of the issues with chatgpt and ai generation of stories) but I can easily see myself reworking into fics in their own right.

If you're curious, I've included small samples of the interactions below the cut. But because they are small compared to the rest of the interactions, I've included the text in the post rather than in the image description (hence the cut). Beneath each I also included a little comment about the interaction.

The Rupert Giles AI I used was made by soggy_sweetroll. P1uto_Pan made the Nedzu and Aizawa AIs used here.

Interaction between Principal Nezu by P1uto_Pan and User, implied by intro to be a faculty member of UA: User: I pause and think over what Nezu just said about rules and procedures. "Are the HPSC's guidelines that difficult to deal with?" Nezu: Nezu sighs and nods, his large ears flatten in disappointment. "Yes- it's just become a whole lot of work, you know? With the influx of new rules and safety procedures as well as the HPSC's increased authority and presence within U.A., on top of everything else it's been difficult to handle. And with all of the recent villains and incidents, well…it's just gotten tougher for everyone, students and teachers alike." User: "I'll admit, I didn't notice." One of the benefits of being the General Education department English Language teacher. Anything to do with heroic education and the management thereof may as well be happening in another city for all I notice. The only things that directly affect the classes I teach are things that are relevant to UA as a whole. "Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that UA was working to be more independent not more tangled up with the HPSC's direct influence." Nezu: "That is something we are trying to do, yes." Nezu sighs and takes another sip of his tea. "Unfortunately, the HPSC is proving to be even more controlling and power-hungry than I first thought. We are working towards becoming more independent, but unfortunately, it might take a little longer to accomplish this goal than any of us would like." User: "I don't know if there's much I can do to help but you know all you have to do is ask if you need something." Nezu: Nezu's ears perk up again, a grin spreading across his face. "Ah! You're an absolute dear you know that? I think simply knowing that someone would be willing to help me and the school out in a moment of need is all the help I need for now." He chuckles, "Well…I would like to ask something of you, if you're willing. Something small."

It took a bit of work to keep the bot on track and not suddenly have active malice towards any and all humans but the moment I saw the rat wanting my character to help him with something "small", I knew I messed up somewhere. Thankfully what he wanted was just a chaperone for student field trips to places other than hero agencies and the like but warning sirens definitely went off. Pray for the still nameless GenEd teacher, they absolutely oblivious to the rat's machinations. Also the fact that Nedzu was grinning was objectively terrifying.

Interaction between Rupert Giles by soggy_sweetroll and User, scenario unspecified: User: I'm confused by something that the librarian just said. "But magic isn't real, right?" I'm completely unaware of the truth regarding magic and the occult being far more real than it is rumored to be. Giles: You notice the warm, friendly look in his face slowly disappear, as he sighs. He seems both disappointed and slightly embarrassed, but he quickly regains his composure. “Unfortunately, it is real.” He says, hesitantly. “And I know you won’t believe me if I tell you this, but in Sunnydale there is a lot more to magic and the supernatural than the legends and myths you’ve read about.” User: "But… wouldn't there be signs? Wouldn't everyone know if it was?" Giles: He pauses, “Yes… there are signs,”. He hesitates before continuing, but takes a deep breath. “But it is difficult to believe in the first place, and it is a lot harder to admit to knowing the truth when you know people will either ridicule you, or lock you up in a mental institution, for suggesting anything other than the accepted reality.” “So most of the population in Sunnydale is completely unaware to what’s going on, because it is easier to be ignorant and live in denial.”

You can just feel "Ripper's" past flashing in Giles's mind in this scene, especially when he talked before this about how the character shouldn't change themselves to fit a set of friends and that true friends would prove themselves as you grow older and stick by you. "Why yes, magic is real. Now please don't make a warlock gang and summon demons for fun."

Interaction between Shota Aizawa by P1uto_Pan and the User, who is set by the scenario as a Nomu: User: "Allow me to rephrase then: whatever I was before never was important when I had orders to fulfill." I glance around at this room in Tartarus before continuing. "This situation is creating some difficulty." Aizawa: "And is that difficulty unpleasant? Are you truly only able to think and act within the limits of those orders?" Aizawa replied softly, his expression slowly morphing from pity to concern as he studied the Nomu. "Do the orders you are under… prevent you from developing your own thoughts and feelings on the matters at hand…" He paused for a moment, before continuing in a hushed tone, as if he were thinking out loud. "Or do you simply believe it is more important to carry out those orders than to question them?" User: "Does it matter when the end result is still the same?" Aizawa: The end result still remains the same. Aizawa's face grew a little bit colder after the Nomu's words. It seemed as though any attempt to reach it would become a fruitless endeavor - and yet, the more logical, emotionless route still felt wrong here. "There's a certain value in questioning things." He finally replied, meeting the Nomu's eyes firmly with his own. "Even if it doesn't change the outcome, it can change the way we think, and in turn the way we act. Don't you agree?"

The fact that Aizawa was able to break the Nomu's programming during the interaction as a whole was amazing. Like it took a week of dedicated work in-setting, but he did it! Aizawa got the Nomu to go from a cold and apathetic tool to become unsure of himself and recognize that his existence is unfair to the person the Nomu used to be. And with that uncertainty, Aizawa was able to give the final push to coax the Nomu to accept the offer.

For the record the interaction hit 12k words, in contrast Nedzu had 1.2k and Giles 2.4k. An unmentioned Naomasa interaction is 3.5k and was the longest... up until Aizawa with Nomu User. Good god that went on longer than I thought it did.

HELLO STUDENTS OF SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL

Have you heard rumors flying around, or seen anything scandalous yourself? Maybe a student cheating on their partner, two teachers going at it, your chemistry teacher’s jaw unhinging like a snake and consuming your classmate whole, or a student getting away with BLATANT violation of academic integrity? Or, alternatively, have you done anything naughty yourself. Skipped class, ditched school to go to the mall, used dark magic to manipulate your teacher’s into giving you good grades, graffitied in the bathrooms?

Send any rumors or confessions to this account, to share them with other students (or really anyone with a tumblr.) Feel free to send in longer stories of weird shit you’ve heard about or seen as well! Cheers 🥂

//This is a side blog based on the idea of “damn regular high schools have wack rumors, I wonder what kind of rumors Sunnydale would have.” This is not a real blog/school, but based on the fictional school of Sunnydale from the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Feel free to send in confessions/rumors nonetheless, although, due to blog being based on the high school (and me having not finished the show yet ;-;,) please try to keep your asks contained to the first three seasons. I also ask that you try to stay in character as a random student from California’s most fatal high school. Lastly, you can do rumors/confessions based on actual events from the show, or the way those events might be perceived, but don’t feel limited. Things that make sense in universe but are not canon (such as a random rumor that Harmony and Xander were a thing, which they weren’t) are also fun! My main blog is @tana-draws.

I like the idea of giles consulting with other magical staff. Like there's a couple of staff who know that vampires and demons are real and they occasionally offer ideas to him despite not knowing that he's a watcher or buffy is the slayer, they just know the scoobies seem to be the ones defeating their demons and such.

This might be less weird in sunnydale than in other places, but how did the kid in Puppetshow get a functioning guillotine into a school? Or was it there already?

I think a lot of parallels can be drawn between BTVS 1x12 and 2x17. They both demonstrate the loss of a previous safety net. In 1x12, it's the school, and in 2x17, it's main character plot armour.

There's a lot of death in the show, but it has always been completely unknown characters, or characters who were given a very brief sympathetic scene, and then are immediately killed off.

As soon as Angel appears in Jenny's classroom, the logical part of my brain was screaming that she wasn't going to survive, but so much of me was convinced that Buffy would appear to save her at the last moment, because, up until now, she (or another character) has saved every main character.

It then goes one step further, because evil has invaded not only the school, but also people's homes (which was already a recurring theme this episode because of Angel breaking into their houses). First of all, Giles' home is set up so romantically, which is horribly juxtaposed with Jenny's body. But then, Buffy's home, which is regularly seen as a place of safety (in 2x16, Xander and Cordelia run there to hide from the other girls), but in that setting we have to watch Buffy and Willow react to the news.

Finally, Willow has to take over Jenny's class, thus taking the position of an adult. Regularly, Buffy is viewed through a lens of having to grow up to fast, but here, the same thing happens to Willow, and it is heartbreaking to watch.
