Thank you so much for letting me know about this meta. I've been out of touch with fandom of late, so I'm so grateful to have read this. Your writing here -- it's beautiful and brave and powerful. It left me shaking with emotion.
In 2012, Buffy became my Hero - by which I mean my fictional hero, my avatar, as opposed to real life heros such as my mother. (Make no mistake - in her capacity to love and endure, I consider my mother heroic.) My brothers grew up with Spiderman and Batman and Hans Solo; with countless tales of soldiers and kings throughout the ages. I had to wait until I was in my 40’s to find her.
This. So much this. Beautiful. Seeing how much you love Buffy just brings it all back to me even stronger. Thank you. ♥
