Yay, glad you liked! Towards the end of the meta paratti writes "Illyria is a character that embodies agency.", and I just love this definition, I think it's her most striking quality: a female character (well, for a certain definition of the term, admittedly) who embodies agency - isn't that a sadly novel and thus very powerful concept?

Oh, I just adore eleusis_walks essays! The one about the cosmology of the Buffyverse just blew my mind. So sad most things are not available anymore. - And it's not even friend-locking 'cause he added me ages ago and I still can't access those links... *sighs* LOL, luckily I am obsessed like that and as I said I have everything (most things?) saved if you want. ;)
