#i still feel like she'd excel more as a short distance and marty excels more at long distance

I love the Buffy headcanons. And I 500% am behind the running ones. I also have a headcanon that Buffy doesn't have a big growth spurt and ends up focusing more on running.

OOO that ones interesting too!! I’m like... big conflicted about whether Buffy would focus on running or basketball more, mainly because of how much growth she had involving basketball in particular and how the finale had them all picture Buffy as an NBA coach.

Even if she doesn’t have a growth spurt to help her as a basketball player, it’d be cool imo if she would up focusing more on the actual plays rather than playing. Kinda again going into the “coach buffy” mentality. Like another headcanon I’d had that I knocked out because I’d love to think of her still being involved in running was if she hadn’t been involved in a sport that season, she and Cyrus would help out as managers on the boys basketball team. Cyrus more on the wellness of the team with waters and snacks and stuff while Buffy more on the organizing practices and butting in to help the coach give advice to the players.

But seeing Buffy go back to focusing on running would also be really cool, because for one it gives her the chance to prove to herself that if she properly trained she COULD run a marathon with ease and for another it gives her more time to challenge herself against Marty. I love the idea that she and Marty like doing marathons together and would find it really fun if she and the others participated in something kind of like the color run! While she and the “athletes” ran, the non-athletic ones volunteered as participants who played with the color and threw it at the marathon runners! Mixes the artsy and the athletic to find something fun together. Plus good bonding experience with two different groups!!

No matter what I support sporty Buffy through and through. She a fine fit QUEEN and I feel like no matter where she went in life, she’d definitely participate in sports in one way or another
