Why you should ship Buffy and Faith
it's obvious to those who have eyes to see that these two matter to each other. They belong together, they bring out something in the other that no one else can. They go to the heart of the show in some important way.
Here some reasons why you should come on board and ship them, even after all those year from the end of the show ‘cause it’s never too late.
Here we start with something really basic: blonde/brunette and the height difference. (classic i know, but here is where all the other ships were born guys)
The way they look at each other. The way they both understand what the other needs. Buffy doesn't want to quit on Faith, even when things get bad, and Faith really just wanted to be more like Buffy and was hurting because she was disgusted with herself.
They are two sides of the same coin. we’re slayers, girlfriend. the chosen two. And all the romeo and juliet vibe We’re not supposed to exist together.
The growing lesbian subtext
Faith wants Buffy to Top her. That's it. That's the reason and you can't change my mind.
Faith travels thousands of miles across country to find the only other girl like her.
Buffy helps Faith face her fear and slay her demon. And Faith - inadvertently - does the same to Buffy. So they help each other.
Faith is always talking to Buffy about guys, sex and relationships. And Faith's message? Guys are no good, can't be trusted, use them for one thing but look elsewhere for the real fun. (Want to say something else here?)
Faith asks Buffy to the prom
Buffy screws up her courage enough to invite Faith over for Christmas.
Faith is always more vulnerable with Buffy than with everyone else.
Faith helps Buffy learning more about herself and what she wants. She is the perfect person to balance Buffy out
The grunting, the suggestive comments, the eye contact, the whole 'Faith as temptation' angle from Buffy's point of view, the dancing together, the slaying, Faith again asking Buffy out for ribs after they're done.
Then Faith makes a tragic mistake and self-destructs spectacularly over the course of the rest of the season; and it changes Buffy completely.
Ok, every relationships left Buffy with something: Angel, Spike and even Riley but it wasn’t the same way that Faith did. She breaks Buffy’s heart in more than one way. And a piece of Buffy will always be with Faith
When Faith comes to Sunnydale the first time, she gives Buffy’s life something she was missing, someone that completely understand the struggle of being a slayer
They save each other’s life multiple times (even when they’re mad at each other and go i wanna kill you vibe)
During their first meeting Buffy clearly has a moment watching Faith kill a vamp. You can see it if you watch her carefully
They obv weren't ready to date but i think they would be, after a few years (you know with them being more mature and older) that's the main reason why i'm so mad at the comics. Big no. (Spoiler??? Even more so when Buffy slept with a slayer that's not faith)
In the show I think it's pretty clear that the subtext and attraction is more from Faith's side than Buffy's ok, i admit it, the writer admitted it, both Eliza and Sarah admitted it but come on, if you look into it you can see something from Buffy's side too.
And maybe they did the right thing not to follow that path on the show but we deserved some canon fuffy moment at ln the comics.
Anyway this is me, i'm done.
(I'm watching BTVS again, if you didn't understand and i needed to do something like this)
Feel free to add your own opinion to the mix.
