wicked!

I was like oh is faith really as gay as I rememb—oh the thing that textually upsets her the most is that buffy has a new boyfriend after angel. oh she’s going on and on about how buffy’s affections are inconstant and buffy pretends to be so hot and perfect and hot and saintly and hot and the best thing ever and hot but Buffy doesn’t even care about Faith even. That’s the problem. That’s the problem Faith has right now with the girl who stabbed her

at the function talking too much about buffy the vampire slayer

some of you have never had your notp be the most popular ship in the fandom and it shows

There are people out there who hate Faith the vampire slayer can you imagine

actually im not done buffy is transgender for real. she's a girl, but she's something else too that the other girls at school aren't, and she knows that that identity automatically makes her an outsider from all the other girls at school. she likes who she is, but sometimes watching Cordelia, she can't help but long for the ease of being "normal". her friends love and support her, but they aren't like her, and she knows that means there are some parts of her life that they'll just never understand. she wants to be homecoming queen so badly, if only to prove to herself that she can be this other thing and also a regular high school girl at the same time. how she tries to hide her identity from her mother for as long as she can. how when she finally tells joyce, they get in a huge argument because joyce is so afraid of what this means for buffy's safety that she tries to stop her from being herself. the fact that buffy, arguing with her mother about her own identity, says "You think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is? How dangerous?" The fact that a stranger tells her "But you're just a girl." and she says "That's what I keep saying."

fiction can be really dangerous there might be a deeply tragic woman in there who starts living in your head forever

heartwarming: your favorite character was canonically molested

does anyone happen to have transfem buffy fic recs? i'm thinking about her today

so what i'm gathering is that i need to write about transfem buffy

*sees a post bullying angel* i'll reblog that *sees a post appreciating angel* i'll reblog that *sees a post calling angel a dramatic socially inept gay old man* i'll reblog that twice

i think i don't really vibe with most other fans of my favorite male characters is because they usually depict them too much of a man, and i am not interested in men, i am interested in The Character. and i am not saying that they should depict them as women, or nonbinary, or should depict them as feminine, no, not at all. but there's like, you know, you can depict a male character as The Character, and you can depict them as The Man. do you get me? like, i go to the fandom looking for art and fics, and it's just, regardless of his actual characterization, it's all just fantasizing about some kind of an abstract dominant patriarch, wearing my favorite character's face. it may be the most totally-wouldnt-have-normal-relationships (and sometimes even would-literally-abuse-you) kind of guy, and you join a dedicated space for his fans, and all they talk about is how they want to marry and start a tradcore 50s style nuclear family with him. it can be a guy who's arrogance and attempts of domination are explicitly shown to be a facade that hide the fact that he's actually kind of a massive pathetic wet loser, and you go to his fics, and they're all depicting him as a caricaturish daddy dom. at this point it's like, do you even like the character at all, or do you just like The Man, and project this man onto whatever character you find visually attractive? and these people kind of, really really poison actual discussion of the character, who is kind of a fucked up evil person (i only like *those* types, so im talking about them) because they see analysis of the actual character as an attack on their fantasized daddy dom husband, who is actually isn't The Character at all, and is simply a face of the day for The Man

I'm tired of pretending it's not literally fucking fine to read a character as transfem because they are feminine. why are transfem headcanons the only ones that require a burden of proof to you? don't worry, you don't have to tell me. I already know why.

can i come over and implant false memories of us being childhood friends?

Sure! You always did that when we were younger!
