dude I’m not even a spuffy girlie but the way he fucking looks at her and talks to her in “after life”?!! there is so much genuine love there, so much development in the way he sees her and the way he feels about her. that is NOT the same person who tied her up in “crush”. THAT IS NOT A PERSON WHO WOULD FUCKING ASSAULT HER SEASON 6 WRITERS I AM IN YOUR WALLS

A parallel I thought of the other night... when I was thinking of maybe editing my first Bangel multi-chapter (that I usually say won't see the light of day), of all things, and imagining some Buffy and Angel dialogue.

Buffy, in the comics, starts living together with most of her friends, which is of course similar to how Angel did that in his own show.

Turns out AI's crazy. But I like the way she's looking at his lips.

I wish Faith could've met Kendra.

So much of Faith's self-image and growing isolation and self-hatred in Season 3 (and beyond!) is tied up in the idea that, above all else, she isn't Buffy.  The idea that she is in fact defined by being not-Buffy.  That Buffy is the "good Slayer", that Buffy gets a family and friends and a Watcher; that Buffy plays by the rules; that Buffy doesn't ever get too emotional or let herself have too much fun.  By the fear that – however much Faith tries to persuade Buffy of the opposite – they really aren’t alike in a way that matters. (“You’re not me”, as Faith will grimly tell Buffy after her coma).

But imagine if Faith had somehow had the chance to meet Kendra; imagine if Kendra had somehow survived into Season 3 even while Faith was Called.

Kendra is -- while far less defined as a character, barely appearing in three episodes before her untimely death -- also defined within the narrative by not being Buffy.  She loves studying and reading ancient texts and has apparently memorized a Slayer Handbook which Buffy's Watcher gave up on even using for his Slayer; she knew about her potential destiny from a very young age and trained for it for years before being Called; while Buffy has to constantly hide her activities as the Slayer from her mother, Kednra was raised directly by her Watcher and doesn't even remember the parents who gave her up to be a Slayer.

Yes, Kendra and Faith have many things in common Buffy doesn't -- no real friends or life outside Slaying in particular -- and maybe they would (eventually) bond a little over those if they ever got to meet.  But consider things from Kendra's perspective.  

From Kendra’s point of view, Buffy is the wild and unpredictable Slayer.  The loose cannon who doesn't follow orders or report back to her Watcher the way she's supposed to, the reckless girl who spends time in places she shouldn't with people that she shouldn't, who parties and has fun and tempts Kendra into doing the same. The Slayer who spends less time training and studying, but is convinced she'd beat Kendra in a fight anyway because she's more in touch with her emotions and is willing to use her anger to her advantage in a fight.

Imagine how cathartic it would be for Faith if she could meet her predecessor, another young girl who knows what it's like to be a Slayer and to have long given up on any chance of a normal life, only for that other Slayer's first reaction on meeting her to be an appalled recognition that "oh no, you're just like Buffy Summers".

the concept of Dawn Summers and the person she is is so interesting to me.

i remember seeing her first appearance and thinking, "huh, Buffy has a sister? cool." and i honestly think that's what every character thought upon first meeting her -- counting in the made-up memories featuring Dawn's existence.

the fact that she was created for an actual purpose is something i sit and think about also. like think about it. in another world, could Buffy have been upset about being alive because her sister had a reason for existence but she herself didn't? while Buffy understands that she has a reason -- being the Slayer -- the later seasons show that she is going through extremely patches, particularly after The Body.

back to the topic of Dawn, her character is so perfectly articulated and crafted to fit the image of "Slayer's little sister". early-seasons Buffy, around Dawn's age, we see how she herself acted as a teen-Slayer. strong, independent, but also a smartass. take that, cut out the Slayer part, and double the level of smartass, we get Dawn Summers.

how Dawn's whole life could be created through false memories, false diary entries, false photos is such a cool concept to me. it can be freaky though like, imagine you didn't exist one day and then bam. you're a teen spawned onto the earth to be some "Key".

let's actually look at the "Key" part of her character. the reason why she actually exists. why she was brought to Earth. she hurt herself upon learning that she wasn't real, but that was in fact one of the realest reactions in the show. i think the bond her and Buffy had in that scene, Dawn's emotions and eventual realisation the fact that she's real is actually one of the most realistic things in the entire show -- which is saying a lot, considering it's literally called "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"

anyways rambling time over <3
