So I was watching ‘Once More, With Feeling’ earlier and I was paying more attention to stuff that was happening in the background instead of the forefront because I wanted to see the town folk being compelled to sing and dance and what craziness ensued. And I noticed Willow and Tara’s physical distance a lot in the background of the Magic Box.
The absolute contrast between Willow and Tara sitting around the Magic Box table so close together with hands and arms touching to such distance between them when they’re sat around it later after Tara finds out what Willow did to her the episode before… and what had happened earlier in this episode with them…
God the pain. This is what I mean about how there should be no physical intimacy at all between them while Tara is under that spell. Never mind just sex. Because you know Tara wouldn’t consent to it if she had had her memories. The fact Willow took away her autonomy just so she didn’t have to confront Tara’s disapproval of her use and abuse of magic and so she could continue to make love with a compliant Tara who’s emotional state was altered because of the spell… It really is a double-layered rape/sexual assault.
How could anyone do that to someone they claim to love? It’s fucking horrifying. Henious. Absolutely evil.
Especially since Willow knows the life Tara had had before with her abusive relatives. And as Tara mentions when she confronts Willow in ‘Tabula Rasa’ - what Glory did to her. I just don’t understand how Willow could do that to the woman she loves. And we know she loves her. We know she loves her more than anyone. And we also know she wouldn’t like that being done to her either because her own autonomy is incredibly important and she’d regard it as violation if someone just erased her memories about something that made her upset or angry or disappointed too.
It hurts. It really does hurt as a shipper of them and it honestly has to be the most egregious thing you see any of the main protagonists do in the entire show not just because it’s messing with someone’s mind, but because physical intimacy is involved in the meanwhile it’s messed with. I know Whedon did not intend for ‘Under Your Spell’ to be viewed like this but it is unfortunately how it has to be viewed because if we’re understanding the metaphors of magic = sex in Season 4 and magic = drugs in Season 6 then this is drug-induced date rape. The whole arc with them for the episode. Not just the spell. Not just the sex. The whole manipulation of altering or erasing someone’s mental autonomy to ignore, disregard or even take away their bodily autonomy. It’s the fact Tara cannot validly consent to any of it because if she could it would mean that she’d be aware about the deception and she wouldn’t allow any physical intimacy between them until she resolved her fight with Willow. So any physical intimacy or closeness whatsoever is wrong because it’s not something she would be doing if she had her memories and her true emotional state on it. Her autonomy wouldn’t be violated if she was aware about the fight and the way she felt about the fight. It’s because she isn’t aware why her consent to any physical intimacy between her and Willow is invalid.
I swear I feel like I’m the only one who realizes just how bad what Willow does is because my autonomy is very important to me the way it is very important to Willow. If it goes against MY will - then it’s not valid. And if there’s anybody in the whole show who should understand this it’s Willow. So that’s why it’s so bad. Because she wouldn’t allow it to happen to herself and therefore as soon as Tara said that it was a violation, it should have clicked with her. And yet… it just doesn’t.
How can you be so aware of your own will and yet so oblivious of somebody else’s will at the same time? 🫤
I think it goes all the way back to the ‘Will Be Done’ spell in ‘Something Blue’. She never intended to hurt her friends. It was just a mistake what ended up happening to them. But she wasn’t thinking about them when she attempted to have her will be done with magic. She was only ever thinking about herself. She’s a compassionate person but her mentality is “me me me” all the time. She never seems to look at a situation and not see herself and her own views there. And it’s like the more and more powerful she gets, the more selfish and arrogant and entitled she becomes.
And so we get to Season 6 and she’s saying she’s doing all she’s doing with her powerful magic to “help” and to “heal” and to “make things better”. And her intentions may be true with that but what happens doesn’t help or heal or make things better. Just worse. There is such a disconnect with her ideal and with her reality that it just doesn’t click for her at all that what she’s doing is wrong, is bad, is violating, … is evil. And she’s such a fascinating character to unravel all this with because she is a main protagonist. She is a Scooby. She is someone who you should be rooting for. Agreeing with. Condoning the actions of. But - how can you when all it does is just causes chaos?
I’m not saying she doesn’t care about doing the right thing. I’m saying that she doesn’t recognize that it isn’t right even when she can see the destruction it causes. And that is what is just so fascinating to me about her. That she doesn’t see it herself as wrong. How many actual villains start off that way in storytelling? That view their actions and choices as heroism even when it’s hurting and harming others? Even when it’s causing destruction and chaos and devastation? And how many of them see that it is? Before they’re ever the villain in the story… how many characters start off believing that they’re benevolent before they make the switch to “I am the evil villain”?
It really is no wonder why Willow Rosenberg is my favourite character in the entire Buffyverse when I get this much substance and depth out of her character.

Photo
Tumblr media
To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.
- Susan Sontag, On Photography

If you all really want Tumblr Live gone, take a screenshot of anytime there’s a thumbnail of something vaguely pornographic or sexual and start reporting the Tumblr App to Apple for App Store Guideline Violations and don’t stop until the app gets taken down.

Something else I want to note about Willow and Tara’s confrontation in ‘Tabula Rasa’ is that Tara tells Willow - rightly so - that what Willow did to her was akin to what Glory did to her as far as violation levels go. Accurate somewhat because the emotional and/or mental state is still being altered and therefore mental and bodily autonomy is taken away with both.
But I would rather say (and this is why it’s so bloody horrific for me) that what Willow did to her was actually more akin to what Tara’s “family” did to her. See - Tara’s father made up a lie based on a family legend of the women in their family being witches that Tara was part-demon or would turn part-demon at the turn of 20 years old. He says that the magic Tara has or can do is rooted in that fact. It obviously was a form of gaslighting to try to convince Tara that she was or would be an evil demon because it wasn’t the reality and wouldn’t be. Tara spent her whole life up until the climax of the episode ‘Family’ believing that she was something other than human and something more than just a witch (which isn’t necessarily non-human). Glory never attempts to gaslight Tara to believe anything. The act of “brain-sucking” her gives her the gaslighting effect anyway because Tara was made to believe that she was bad for feeling the way she does. Which - at that point - was crazy, i.e. mentally ill. Not able to distinguish between what was reality and imaginary or at least could no longer really understand the difference as if she was a 2 year old. But the intention in itself was not to gaslight. It was just to harm psychologically because Glory is an actual evil demoness. That of which Tara was terrified of not just because Glory is able to brain-suck people, but also because she represents something Tara has spent practically her whole life believing she would be.
See Tara is so terrified of and is effected the way she is by Glory brain-sucking her because she’s already essentially lived what that would do to her emotionally. Cut her off from the relative safety and security of being aware of herself and her abilities. This is what her “family” originally did to her. Gaslight her into thinking she wasn’t what or who she really was. First of all, human. Second of all, a witch. And what Willow does in making Tara forget their fights about her using too much magic by using magic… is essentially gaslighting Tara to believe they’re all good. That nothing bad is happening between them. That there is no conflict, no issues to sort out, no worries, and certainly no abuse - either of her or of magic. In Willow’s head, she considers a magic mind-trip a fix for their relationship breaking down over their unresolved differences. A reconciliation in a sense. Even though Tara has not come to that decision on her own. Even though Tara is not aware that there needs to be one. It’s not stated but Tara is essentially mentally forced to believe that everything is completely a-okay. They’re happy, they’re in love, they’re on equal terms. In what we see as Willow erasing Tara’s memories of one fight actually has much more serious implications because there is emotional stimulus being altered and mental and bodily autonomy being disregarded or taken away.
Essentially, Tara is experiencing the Glory situation and the ‘Family’ situation all at the same time. Tara is lied to about her relationship status with Willow not by Willow simply telling her it’s all good. But by Willow mentally forcing Tara to believe that it is through mental inebriation. And this all occurs simply by saying the word “forget” and waving her hand over a bramble flower. Most, if not all, of the following chaos for the couple are the consequences to just enacting a memory erasure spell one time - of that we know of because it’s not just about missing a memory. It’s about altering the mentality and emotions of the individual that has already made it pretty damn clear what they think and how they feel about a conflict that you have obstructed that individual from accessing.
I know I go on and on about this situation and you’re all probably like “Geez change your tune already. It’s not like Willow is the only one that uses magic to get her way”… It’s true. She’s not. But there’s a distinct difference in that the others that do only do it the once and never attempt anything like it again OR are bad guys - who you would expect it from anyway. We are lumping in Jonathan and Amy and Faith in predominantly the “bad guy” category right? I know they’re also several shades of morally grey as well but for the most part - they’re bad people doing bad things. They’re not our main protagonists/heroes like Buffy and Willow and Xander and Giles is. They’re not necessarily expected to have any character development as far as differences in morality although they all do - which again, makes the BUFFYVERSE leagues better than most TV shows of the current visual art/entertainment paradigm which don’t give recurring characters much development, if any at all.
Willow is, for the most part, someone you would expect to grow in morality the more you see her, the more you interact and engage with her on the screen. Someone you would expect would learn from their mistakes and would have some awareness of their flaws enough to make changes. Someone who would possess emotional maturity and intelligence as well as the vast academic and mental intelligence she starts off with. There is much more cause for concern with her than there ever is for the recurring characters. Especially when it seems that the people Willow hurts the most are the people that she claims to love the most and she doesn’t have a “soulless” excuse for it. And don’t get me wrong - I love talking about all of this and debating and deconstructing her very compelling character arc. But at the same time it is very concerning and I do wonder how she even stayed alive in the end because aside from written plot armor, she was primed for death as potentially the one core Scooby that would never make endgame. It was either going to be her or Xander but for opposite reasons.

Small rant, I hate HATE HATE HATE how the ZDF news (German television broadcaster) portrays Isreal and Palestine.
For one they always say if an info comes from the hamas, like for example “the hamas-controlled hospital released the number of dead people” (wich had been confirmed to be trustworthy in the past).
However when talking about Isreal, like for example in the broadcast of 18th March, they act like everything isreal states is a fact. An Israeli politician says that they attacked the Al-Shifa hospital to kill hamas members and say that they killed a high-ranking officer and the news say it like it’s true and not like it could be a lie that excuses hatred for Palestinians (“the isreal army killed a high-ranking hamas member”).
This is just so fucking disgusting considering that the news are supposed to be neutral and informative, not biased.
It goes hand-in-hand with the government’s opinion on Isreal too. They say that Isreal should defend themselves, express their condolences for Isreal, etc. I’ve seen politicians say that they can’t risk Israel’s security because it was founded as an aftermath of the holocaust which Germany caused (like isreal isn’t a colony a.k.a. something very bad no matter who it’s supposed to help?????). Like FUCK OFF OMG
