Willow (probably) never would have become the most powerful witch in the world if she hadn't met Buffy. It wasn't obvious at first, but these two changed each other in ways they can never take back, and then they enabled each other to change the world.
Well YES. Of course. (Someone once said to me that Willow was the "more trangressive" of the two, blah blah. Was it a contest? I must have missed that.) The fact that you emphasize the mutuality and what they did for one another over the usual one-up/one-down games makes me all kinds of happy.
Ok, ok I'm going to let this simmer in my mind over the weekend before I say anything else - you're making me think I do need a full rewatch to remember what I loved about their friendship. Because I think you just broke my brain right back.
