Buffy the Vampire Slayer takes place in a world full of demons and magic and werewolves and invisible girls and convincingly human-like robots; in a world where the Russian Revolution took place in 1905 and a song released in 1957 could be a hit in 1955 and high school sports coaches can use declassified Soviet research to turn teenagers into fish monsters; in a world where vampire attacks are commonplace enough that the police have a standard lie ready to deploy about them and where weekly student deaths are not reason enough to shut down the local high school.

But so far, forty-one episodes into my rewatch, the most fantastic and least plausible thing in the show by some distance is the fact that Buffy still willingly chooses to socialize with Xander Harris.

#btvs #yes it's very boring and obvious to say that Xander sucks and is a terrible friend who is weirdly obsessed about Buffy's sex life #but unfortunately that's the version of the character that the writers consistently put in the show #I genuinely cannot fathom why Buffy lets him talk to her the way he so routinely does #(or what Cordelia is supposed to see in him for that matter)#at this point I am just desperately clinging to the thought that Xander will start to become more tolerable soon
