"it wouldn’t be you Spike, it would never be you. You’re beneath me."

- Buffy, Fool For Love

It’s funny how similar the ending of The Avengers is to the ending of Buffy season 5

"Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are."

I just made these gifs of Buffy and Angel from season 3 at her Prom! This was such an amazing song and I loved the scene, they’re so cute together <3

BTVS, Season5

oh hi. 

i love btvs, did i mention that yet?

I feel a lot of fans would argue that season 4 is a bit of a “let down” and some people really don’t like season 6. Arguably Joss Whedon and Marti Noxon have both admitted that season 6 is a “dark” season where “life is the big bad.” But i think season 5 is the darkest, most difficult to watch, of the 7 seasons. 

*caution ahead there be spoilers*

1.I don’t like Dawn. there i said it. so that really does put a damper on the season. AFter season 5 she does grow on me to a state of tolerable, but season 5, she’s such a mess of a young teenager, and i don’t like her.  

2.Then there is the horrible ending to the Buffy/Riley relationship. like i’m not a riley/buffy shipper, but (and this is a huge but) i felt making him go to the vamps to get sucked on was SO pathetic. he seemed like such a weak guy, too weak to have even been with my girl buffy.

3.I don’t mind Glory as the villain. I actually quite enjoy her, but the Joyce plot-line was unbearable. Here i am, a loyal buffy fan and i have Dawn FORCED upon me and Joyce put in a predicament where she may be taken from me. Not happy was I. I will never forget the episode Listening to Fear, when Buffy turns on the “super happy” music and bawls her face off. This is real emotion, and true to life, but just so very dark. 

4. Buffy gives up school and thus begins her decent into full-on slayer life. which some may see as a good thing, but i always wanted buffy to finish school and have the choice to work a “normal” 9-5 gig.  (seeing her at the double meat palace in season 6 was sooo hard)

5. the “crazy” people, including Tara… Glory making all those people lose their sanity and become lost, it’s heartbreaking to a sap like me. hard to watch. nuff said. 

6. The Body. Nuff said yes?

7. The Gift. i was in grade 9 when this episode aired, i lived in the middle of nowhere, didn’t really have the internet and wasn’t sure what was happening with my beloved show, the thought that the finale MIGHT* be that buffy dies (for her stupid sister that i didn’t like AT ALL) broke my heart. that finale scene, everyone heartbroken, looking at buffy, especially with spike just sobbing, … i truly feel a thousand knives when i see that seen. …. thank god we got to continue our journey with the Spike/Buffy relationship, there was still so much to explore there. 

Season 5- my least favourite of the 7 seasons, but regardless, it is still better than almost anything else on tv. Joss Whedon just loves to break hearts.

“Buffy Anne Summers. She saved the world a lot.” 

Worth Reading

I’ve definitely been a Whedon fan for a long time, over 15 years now. in fact, me and my close friends have a saying “Whedon happens” .. because Joss Whedon’s shows/movies are amazingly good at bringing you to the happiest place you could EVER be and then slamming reality or tragedy or both right into your face. 

this article sums up a lot of those Whedonesque moments from his different tv shows/movies/ and other creations. 

worth reading if you’re a fan, or even if you’re not.
