Gentle To The Touch

Buffy: Does it ever get easy?

Giles: You mean life?

Buffy: Yeah.

Buffy: Does it get easy?

Giles: What do you want me to say?

Buffy: Lie to me.

Giles: Yes, it’s terribly simple.

The good guys are always stalwart and true,

the bad guys are easily distinguished

by their point horns or black hats,

uh, we always defeat them and save the day,

and everybody lives happily ever after.

no one ever dies,

The final image is the Executive Producer credit.

Buffy: Liar.

(The penultimate image “no one ever dies,” is out-of-order; it should instead be the antepenultimate image, before “and everybody lives happily ever after.”)

I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.

You will be dearly missed. 🩷

Here's an amazing story about him that I read years ago and never forgot.

I'd hoped to meet him at a convention, myself, one day.
