Some designs for B2BY’s main deities but.. in their disguised forms.

Blue(Azrael) and purple(Noxon) ones belong to @irascibleshadowscape, yellow(Kelshar) and pink(Tanxor) are mine!

Theyre just kinda.. dads

faith goading buffy until buffy finally slaps her and then grinning and saying "that's my girl"......so basically what you're telling me is that they are in love and will be married

Ellen: Bet you didn't expect this much gynery today. Dr. Beckham: I do think this is a record number of mothers for one patient.

This idea you have that there’s a way to be safe, it’s childish and cowardly. It stops you from experiencing anything, including everything good.

I mock you with mah monkey pants

that is all.

dean winchester is so buffy summers coded. they both have daddy issues, mommy issues, sibling issues, fighting monsters, being Chosen Ones, having the fate of the world on their shoulders but having nobody know about it, dying a few times, relationships with supernatural creatures, a death wish, self sacrificing instincts, clinical depression, fighting gods,

🔥+ Marti Noxon (as a BtVS writer/co-showrunner, not, like, as a person LMAO)

Whoa what a great question!

I think Marti Noxon is one of the best writers on Buffy. Actually, after Joss, I'd say she's the best. She's written some of my favorite episodes, and she has a very distinct style and voice. Not everything she's written is great, but even her weakest episodes are still decent and entertaining (with some exceptions....)

I think she was the right person to take over as showrunner. Like, if I were in Joss's position, I would have absolutely chosen her.

However, in retrospect, after knowing everything we know and viewing the show as a whole, I think she was in over her head. I think she needed help, and I'm not sure if she got it. I love the idea of having a woman take over as showrunner for such a feminist show (at the time), but Marti (and Jane Espenson, for that matter) are very toxic and have a lot of internalized misogyny they need(ed) to work through.

Season 6 really, really struggles with nuance. It loses its way in the middle, and although I think it has a satisfying ending, that middle slump just ruins the season for me. Marti had some great ideas, but she has very dark and twisted tendencies that needed to be reeled in a bit. No one seemed to do that. No one in the room stopped her from it. Or maybe they tried and she overruled them, but Joss isn't the type to say to her, "Hey, you're going too far. You're punishing Buffy too much."

I definitely understand what Marti and Joss were going for with season 6, but too much slipped between the cracks. I'd say like 7 or 8 of the episodes needed to be reworked completely. It almost felt rushed. Like, they suddenly stopped doing their due diligence in the writers' room.

It's really unfortunate because the intent and thesis statement for the season is so fascinating and daring and bold. But it's too bleak and overall, it's not entertaining. It's boring. And say what you will about Joss (he's the literal fucking worst lol) but he knows how to entertain people. Marti just.. got in her head I think. Things got lost in translation.

Having said that, Sharp Objects is EXCELLENT and she clearly honed her craft and learned a lot by being the showrunner for season 6.

"I started thinking about how to tie Buffy and Glee together and the best I could come up with was through Veronica Mars because Alyson Hannigan and Charisma Carpenter were both recurring on there and Jane Lynch and Dianna Agron guest starred. Boom!"

And Buffy creator Joss Whedon directed an episode of Glee in S1. But he's a terrible person, so I understand if you didn't want to mention him lol

oh, and Marti Noxon was a writer and producer on both Buffy and Glee. She was responsible for what's arguably the most controversial Buffy season. I wouldn't have known that she worked on Glee if she hadn't pointed out how misogynistic it was that only Lea and Naya's feud was given attention when there were male actors fighting onset too.

I can't really speak to his terrible-ness, only left him out because I was thinking only of cast members. But true! And to think I only just listened to Kevin and Jenna gush about his episode yesterday lol.

Part of me knew about Marti Noxon but part of me also forgot. I'm curious about Buffy s6 - assuming that's what you're referring to. I checked and her Glee eps are Extraordinary Merry Christmas and Choke so she's alright in my Glee book, if not, you know, extraordinary. Good on her for pointing out the double standard though.

I think they should have let marti noxon back in the ats writers room one last time but specifically during season 4 I don't think it would have been good but it sure as hell would have been interesting
