3.22 // 7.11 bonus:

cordelia

the fact that she felt moved to give the ‘you’re a sheep!’ speech if not exactly that she was moved to give it to keep her dynamic with xander

that she once bit a vampire so they’d know how it feels

NO TACT

faith

the thing i like most about faith is how super into buffy she is

that time she found the emotional resilience to keep trying and reclaimed her ability to mean the words “because it’s wrong”

How I feel about this character:

if there were JUSTICE in the world cordelia chase would have her own show instead of angel 

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

wow um. low-key angel and the fandom content for her and buffy is always really cute and shit but ahhh. high-key No One.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

people who appreciate her?? of which we saw ZERO on btvs. so i guess gunn and fred and angel tbh

My unpopular opinion about this character:

she is proto-dawn? i was so annoyed with her my first watch through because her purpose is kinda one-dimensional and she has all that stealth growth. but upon subsequent viewings how could you not love her every line?

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

boss ass bitch, never forget.

ummmm, tbh cordy isn’t a Top Fave, so i don’t have gushy feelings about her but!!! if you look at her arc from btvs to ats and see the way she accepts such a huge burden and responsibility with grace but doesn’t let it change who she is at her core??? oh boy you will end up crying over cordelia chase i guarantee. 

remember when she spent her entire young adulthood worried about status and living up to a certain image but then realized there were more important things to be concerned with? remember when she stood up to the punishing status quo with her Iconic ‘you’re sheep’ speech? now you’re crying harder.

remember when she become a warrior in her own right. calling out a vampire when he took her back to his home? staking one fearlessly at graduation? learning the ways of the sword like a proper wlw? now you’re on the floor practically drowning in tears
