#with xander protecting/watching the children while buffy fights the big bad alone

[snakeliciousbaby]

Just rewatched Halloween, absolute gender episode. The main concept is literally just Buffy and Xander having paralleling gender crisises about not being a real woman/man and then getting transformed into their gender ideals. Gender performance the episode!!

#btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #buffy summers #xander harris #halloween #buffy #xander #also the fact that their costumes are supposed to be super gender conforming #but then soldier xan drinks big respect women juice and princess buff is clinging to cordelia #still managing not to conform under magic #and of course will also confirming with her Sexy costume tm which is ultra feminine #in my mind the gender sequel to this ep is Killed by Death #where xander and buffy accept their roles as the more feminine and more masculine ones #with xander protecting/watching the children while buffy fights the big bad alone #also giles is this ep makes me insane but thats beside the point #absolutly fascinated with how confident soldier xan is in his gender and sexuality #no flirting with any girls and encourages buffy to fight for herself #is inner xander just a feminist??? cause like. i dont know if most people assume soldiers are feminists #these queer people cant help queering up their straight cis costumes I love them #meta #i guess???? mostly in the tags whoops
