#literally no notes

while i do love the idea of lucy having recognized/realized who coop is w/his parting hat tip to her....idk that i buy it. fun in theory. but really i think that look, the way she took a step toward him, the way she looked like she was about to/wanted to say something is...just that. but in that moment what did she want to say? probably a lot of things, which is why she ends up saying nothing. too busy kinda reeling a bit from the interaction altogether bc 1) she was almost mind control chipped by her dad, 2) the guy holding her down suddenly drops dead from being stuck through the head w/something, 3) she turns to find out that the person who killed that guy was a guy she probably thought she killed/was dead or at the very least would never have expected to show up and get her out of one last mess, 4) then that guy shot her dad in the ass, specifically and deliberately in the ass, 5) and then not only was he not angry at her, there to hurt her or scold her or anything but instead kicked her a gun and leaves her w/the dignity to decide for herself how she wants to deal w/her dad and let her decide what justice looks like for him. that's a lot of shit goin down in 20 seconds lmao. and he's gone looong before she can really process any of that, let alone the soft look and parting hat tip that maybe is eerily reminiscent of something to her that she can't quite place...

I don’t think that anyone will ever be more important to Buffy than Dawn is. Of course there’s a lot of people that Buffy loves in various different ways, I would never deny that, but ultimately Dawn will always come first in Buffy’s heart. Dawn is Buffy’s sister, the sister who was quite literally crafted out of Buffy’s own heart and soul, the sister she practically raised, the sister she’s more like a mother to, the sister she would put the fate of the entire world on the line to protect, the sister she died for. Dawn is the most important person in the world to Buffy.

Would anyone be interested on commissions from me?
