[livejournal.com profile] heresluck's vids are here. She has two Faith vids, "Come On" and "Superstar" which introduced me to Tegan and Sara music as well as the wonders of Buffy/Faith. She also has a Spike vid, "Glorious #1", that is excellent. Her other vids are good, too, but those three are my favorites.

but at the same time I missed the subtext completely.

Yeah, it's hard for me to imagine missing the subtext in Buffy/Faith (although they have the implication of a sisterly relationship, too...they contain multiplicities, I guess). When I was younger I used hate the idea of subtext because I liked platonic relationships so much (I also hated it that in almost every story I read, anytime a guy and girl became friends they ended up a couple). Also, not being gay, I wasn't suffering from a shortage of images of people of my sexuality. It took me a long time to figure out that you can value platonic friendships *and* like subtext. I had definitely figured that out by the time I met Buffy and Faith, so there was nothing keeping me from seeing the possibility of them as a couple.
