#wuffy

anyone who says willow raised buffy JUST bc the scoobies couldn't handle dealing with sunnydale themselves or whatever can fuck off. the pure agony in her voice when the urn was shattered... she was devastated. she was ruined. the dead collapse once xander had told her that she'd failed to bring buffy back. like how r u just ignoring that. willow LOVES buffy. it's just that willow's love is a dangerous, selfish thing, and buffy has to bear the brunt of that love a hell of a lot

the thing that's so crucial to me about willow bringing buffy back from the dead is that yes it's because she loves buffy and can't imagine her life without her and wants better for her than a tragically early death but it's also very much about willow wanting to be buffy's savior for once. buffy is always the one saving and protecting willow, and willow has never been thrilled about that - it was why she began learning magic in the first place. willow has always had such a fear of being useless and unworthy of love. by resurrecting buffy, willow not only gets her best friend back, but gets to prove her worth and her skill once and for all and in a very dramatic fashion. for the first time in her life, she gets to one-up buffy. she gets to make buffy see who she really is and what she can do

I think dark willow should've kissed Buffy to mess with her. I think she would've if they weren't cowards.
