#anyway i doubt she woke up in october bc of that school thing buffybot went to

[weirdbabs]

do you think buffy woke up in a post 9/11 america?

like i know season 6 aired on 10/2/01 so technically yes but that doesnt necessarily mean it was the same day in universe. buffy came back 147 days after she died (148 the day she came back) which is a little shy of 5 months. her mom died during spring break which would be the end of march, and then things started moving pretty quickly from there. you figure that was 3ish episodes where only a couple days passed between them, then there was a break where they were trying to fall into a routine, and then 4 episodes where i think 3 days passed. so there was at least like. 10 days maybe between her mother dying and her dying, but thats literally trying to take the least. that puts us at early april, which puts us right around 9/11/01

so did she wake up post 9/11 and which is funnier?

1. she wakes up post 9/11 and is trying to figure out why people are suddenly so patriotic and talking about terrorists, struggling to figure out how everything couldve changed so much in so little time

2. she was up pre 9/11 and feels even more so like shes trapped in hell with horrible violence all around her when it happens

or 3. she wakes up on 9/11. she had her own personal 9/11 on 9/11
