Do people feel that Willow getting close with other girl somehow betrays memory of Tara? (Or is it just my very non-representative reading circle?)
Well Kennedy still gets lots of hate for the sin of not being Tara (and I don't love Kennedy but I don't hate her either. I didn't love Tara at first sight either; another season or two I might have grown to really like her.) I don't understand why Willow's love for Tara precludes friendships; that makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Incest is a thing.
ICK.
Also? I swear that the majority of B/G shippers I've seen are all about woobifying their guy, glossing over his fuck-ups (you know, like every other shipping group does), portraying him as absolutely perfect AND putting Buffy down for not appreciating their beloved guy in canon. (Again, like every other shipping group.)
That said:
I don't get why Buffy/Giles and not Willow/Giles, which at least could be written more or less in-character
RIGHT??? I thought there'd be tons of it out there. Or why not more Giles/Anya (I wish they had gone their with the two of them.) Or Giles/Joyce. Or heck, how about Giles/Jenny or Giles/Olivia. There is canon support for all of these but...no, Giles/Buffy is the big thing.
