no you don't but thanks for saying it

problematic acting ability gap

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

"came back wrong" but it's more explicitly + intentionally about medical and/or caregiver abuse

came back wrong in the sense that the person who revived you subtly or even obviously changed aspects of your appearance to conform better to their concept of beauty, but no one else notices, or thinks that you look better like this anyway so they don't care and are even jealous of you. came back wrong in the sense that you never consented to be brought back; don't know who dressed you like this and arranged your body in the position that you woke up in; it feels like a violation that no-one will admit to. came back wrong in that everyone is so smotheringly protective of you now; won't let you take even minor risks or "abuse" your newly-revived body with substances and poor lifestyle choices.

Every friend group needs The Chosen One (aka teen girl trying her best), a computer-savvy lesbian witch with the worst abandonment and attachment issues you’ve ever seen, her nerdy lesbian witch gf with family trauma, a guy with commitment issues who dresses like a randomised sim and loves his friends, a father figure librarian who is tired of everyone’s shit, a money-loving ex-demon, a kleptomaniac child, an ex-evil slutty vampire bastard, a mean girl who serves cunt, and a friendly stoner werewolf who would treat you right

underrated character trope is the bully side character that somehow gets absorbed into the main characters friend group. especially if they still spend plenty of time mocking the main characters but nobody really gives a shit about it. like yeah thats gumbo he gives us wedgies on tuesdays and laughs at my every misfortune. of course we're inviting him over for dinner why wouldnt we.

I actually really love the fact that Buffy Summers can't drive. Almost every show ever has all their adult characters just be able to drive, usually without any particular comment on it. Like it's just assumed they should all be able to do it. But no the Chosen One, the only girl in the world who can defeat the vampires and monsters and such, she can't drive.

Makes my heart sing

dawn summers is also a contender for character of all time. she's an eldritch horror stuffed into the body of a teenage girl. she's six months old. she's older than time. she's fourteen. she talks shit to the faces of the forces of darkness. she speaks sumerian. she killed her first kiss with a pencil. her best friend is a punk vampire that simps over her big sister. she writes about the horrors in her diary. she has done necromancy. she's a kleptomaniac. her favorite sandwich is salami with peanut butter. she was willing to sacrifice her life to save the world at fourteen years old. she became her sister's watcher when the original watcher abandoned them. she's extraordinary.
