Ahh, I see. :) Well, as I told you, I've posted that meta on my LJ and will probably continue to put my stuff up there. I'll just space it a bit since the LJ crowd isn't so hot on flist spamming, as far as I remember. ;)
I loved how Tara "sees" that Faith isn't Buffy w/out knowing her. and the two have a connection along several key points in Buffy's journey S4-6: Who Are You, Restless, the Body, Intervention (she's in the vision isn't she?), DT.
Alas, I don't think she is in the vision. :< But YES the other ones. So many bits of connection. It's nice in its subtlety.
And isn't OAFA, when Tara arrives for the birthday and Buffy says "you made it!" the one moment of undiluted genuine happiness we see from Buffy in S6?
Yes! I love how genuinely happy Buffy is to see her. ;; Also we get Tara sassing out Spike on Buffy's behalf. G L O R I O U S.
(FYI - Joyce was there first. Just sayin')
TBH I thinkt here's just always a mutlitude of metaphors. I mean, for instance, you can compare any character in BtVS with another character in points of personality or character history and get some meaningful parallels out of it. But yes, Joyce is underappreciated as Buffy's connection to humanity.
And there's that sense, as with Buffy in S7, that Tara may not be entirely ready or prepared for her new responsibilities or burdens but she takes them on to the best of her ability
Ohh, keen observation! I never thought about that tbh.
And she dies in the Summers' home, albeit more violently than Joyce did.
CRIES FOREVER. :(
particularly Willow - and FYI I'm not a Willow-basher at all
IDK I think Willow's actions particularly toward Tara in All The Way through Tabula Rasa were reprehensible and among the creepiest shit that happened on the show. It makes me kind of ambivalent on Willow. :/
Have you seen lostboy_lj's post The Monomythology of Buffy? It's a short meta w/pictorial chart of Buffy's arc via Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
I have! And NGL I just love that Buffy's just this lady hero whose journey fits that of classical heroes to a T.
So says the person who reminded me of the connection between Buffy and Cassie. ;)
sdfjlsdfjsld lmfao well. Sometimes I may stumble upon something.
(I get pissed off about Riley, so mea culpa.)
I think we all have our moments. I do too. It's just a human tendency kinda thing.
Him definitely does have its share of laughs! The whole scene in Robin's office with the rocket launcher is comedy gold. But yeah, mostly embarassment squick & just squick.
But the good stuff for me outweighs the bad - Whereas BB&B is just too squicky. Buffy thanking Xander for not taking advantage of her? Ick.
Haha, curiously enough... that's somehow not as bad for me? I mean yeah, it's gross that it has to be mentioned, but I guess... IT SUCKS but there are a lot of people out there who I think could benefit from having the squick factor of the situation pointed out. >> Sigh. So spelling it out may have been. IDEK, not good here, but you get what I mean?
