Willara Forever

Y'all this is a piece of history right here. Every single time you see a reference to a "shovel talk" in fic, defined here as "someone threatening harm to a potential romantic partner of a friend/loved one," it's referencing this scene. This scene specifically. Everywhere else that is not fannish internet, that interaction is referred to a "shotgun talk," referencing the father threatening a daughter's boyfriend with a shotgun. This scene gave a lot of people a chance to reframe that interaction in terms of a protective friend rather than a possessive father, which for a lot of obvious reasons resonated with people a whole fucking lot, and it immediately spread like wildfire into fannish and then general internet lexicon. I've seen people try and backronym it into an extension of the shotgun talk, as in, "I've got a shotgun and a shovel to bury you with," but I've asked a lot of rednecks from a lot of different necks of the woods and no one has ever encountered that variant in brickspace life. It's all Buffy, babey. This shit is linguistic history in the making.

it is wild how much buffy the vampire slayer impacted language, fandom, and internet culture. even if you've never watched buffy, i can almost guarantee that if you're online, there's something in your vocabulary that's from buffy

she was at the club. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that she was at the club.

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off

She Would Say That. She would DO that.

watching buffy for me is what i imagine reading the bible is like for hardcore christians

was buffy and faith’s relationship always supposed to be so sexually charged or did the directors see eliza’s insane chemistry with sarah and insane lesbian vibes and where like: hold on guys i think i might be on to something…

as a buffy fan i believe in spuffy, fuffy, and angel sitting alone in dark rooms

Dubcon but it's me bringing you back from the dead

btvs is like what if tv was good. and also bad sometimes but that's not important rn

Buffy Summers (you know, vampire slayer?) like John Peters (you know, the farmer?)
