Hmmmm with the btvs poll side blog being so fun im wondering if i should make one for critrole as well. or maybe tpp? Its such a small fandom on here it might be nice to have a little more content even if its only like ten ppl interacting with it

So i guess like/reblog if you would be interested in either? And clarrify in the tags (or replies) which one

Thanks guys!

@btvspolls please do share if you want to!! I want as many answers to this as possible I am so curious about what people think

i was gonna include xander/willow and buffy / riley but there’s only 10 options and fr who cares about them 💀 not me! sorry about the lack of sprusilla though :(

if you think of any other ships I might have missed and you think they should win, put it in the notes!!

~ You can also submit a specific fashion trend (with an example) ie/Faith Lehane + Leather

~ Have fun!

SUBMISSION FORM

Submissions will remain open until I feel there are enough to support a sufficiently sized bracket

main account is @shiverandqueeef // all replies & responses to asks will be from this url

also, check out my other buffy sideblog @btvspolls // for (often very silly) one-off buffy related polls

Mr. Flutie: (swings the gate closed) Well, maybe that's how they do things in *Britain*, they've got that royal family and all kinds of problems, (locks it) but here at Sunnydale nobody leaves campus while school's in session. Are we clear?

The Sunnydale Herald is looking for at least one new editor. Contributing to the Herald is a great way to get your Buffy on! Find out more here.

Hi there! this is tash from BtVSPolls. It's not often I run into someone who has a positive view of the potentials, and I was just wondering if you would mind expanding on that a little bit. No worries if not though!

I don't have a positive view of them, I just don't have a negative view. I'm aggressively neutral about them. As a whole, they could do some annoying stuff (and who on the show doesn't?), but they brought some interesting perspectives to the story, and they honestly weren't that bad as characters.

I mean, apart from Kennedy (who actually got something that resembles development and depth) and Chao-Ahn (who stands out for dying) and Rona (who stands out for being the only black girl), barely even remember the names of any of the others without prompting. Felicia Day played one and she seems to have done really well with that, and good for her, but...

Like, my view of them is mostly one giant shrug emoji. Even at their worst, such as it is, I wouldn't remotely feel strongly enough about them to want to gnaw my arm off.

Obviously the potentials were part and parcel of their effort to find a spin-off that would work, when their other ideas didn't land, but they also served for an interesting story, exploring how being a potential works, council-raised and otherwise, and of course, the whole 'every potential becomes a Slayer' thing wouldn't have worked without some of them being present on the show for a while, and I absolutely think the mass-slayerification was essential. The other choices are that Buffy and Faith are going to die Slayers, or they never, ever, ever get to retire, even when they're old, or if they end up having kids (granted, I don't see Faith deliberately having kids, though I do think Buffy is generally interested in the idea, though I don't think it's a requirement for her or anything).

That or we have a series of slayers almost dying over and over again to make more Slayers and that feels like tempting fate in it's own way.

But like, the mess the comics made of it aside, more Slayers is good, and that couldn't have happened in the show without there being more potentials in the first place.

So yeah... shrug. They're okay. I feel pretty neutral on them.

Hi there :) this is tash from btvspolls. So uh, s3 is my absolute favourite 😅 which means i am FASCINATED to know why you hate it! I love hearing from btvs fans with wildly different opinions from my own. Would you mind maybe giving a little tldr about it? No worries if you'd rather not tho!

hey! and no i don’t mind at all.

i guess the short version is that i think s2 is a hard act to follow. i love the heightened dramatics of the season (the moody atmosphere, the gothic romance.) so s3 being more about high school and responsibility is just not something that i find myself caring about. i understand where the writers are coming from but i think they lacked a strong vision for the season. though despite it being my least favorite season “the zeppo” is one of my favorite episodes out of the entire series. go figure

[lehaneisms]

I made a polyship poll for btvspolls specifically in response to your tags and then i went and forgot to include faith/buffy/tara as an option 🥲

LOL i appreciate the thought <3 and i also am a supporter of every woman kissing each other

[btvspolls]

Have you got a dissertation on standby for any of these? do tell!

[btvspolls]

Do any of these episodes send you into a frothy rage if you think about how popular they are? rant away in the tags about it, go nuts!

[btvspolls]

Best btvs vamp face?

[btvspolls]

not that i've spent a literal decade thinking Thoughts about this or anything...
