The one of Willow in Wild at Heart (S4)?

Yes! It's gorgeous and, if I may say so, one of your best icons ever. I just love the crop and the text, plus the image of Willow you chose. Wow!

This. exactly. It's one reason why I love the show - and why it amazes me that complex motivations and personalities so often get reduced to one dimension in fandom conversations.

I don't know if I already told you, but once I read a fic about Willow and Buffy having a sleep-over - during the first seasons - and Buffy fighting her sadness about being the Chosen One thinking that Willow was becoming more and more powerful and, maybe, she would have saved her. Willow is the only person powerful enough to save Buffy and they were best friends! I don't see total selfishness in Willow's actions - although they are selfish - because there is also the years spent saving each other life in count.

My sweetie is the control freak in our house so I can understand and sympathize but oh boy do I understand Tara's position as well. But again, it's not 100% either way - the balance of power is a constant see-saw between them as IRL.

I also go "oh boy" about myself especially these days. I'm a control freak about myself not the others around me, still I have this huge need of control stuff. It's not good. I can sympathize with Tara.

Me too! And yes there are glory haters. I don't agree at all but different strokes and all that jazz.

I love her! I tend to love all the Big Bads - expect maybe Adam. - and Glory is one of the funniest.
