Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! And especially to @water-lemon-alex, who's my AVA/AVM Secret Santa recipient! Sorry to keep you waiting, I... didn't have as much free time leading up to Christmas as I anticipated. Still! I hope you like it.
The request was for Second and Purple interacting, either romantically or platonically. Don't know if this counts as romantic or not, but I'll tag for ships anyways. Happy New Years, everybody!
I have a question about image descriptions. Since tumblr has the alt id function, if I put a description there should I also have a description beneath the post in text? Thank you :)
Hi, Anon!
Yes, it's simply more accessible and benefits everyone. The alt text function has never been reliable, often its inaccessible or unusable.
Pathos-logical did a great write up about why she's still copying descriptions into plain text, if you want to read it here.
As long as it's a plain text description, no fancy fonts, small text, colours. It's accessible and better for everyone.
Omg I need to look through people's profiles better I just realized one of my moots (mydeer) was 17 😭. Completely my fault and I won't make such a mistake again! Lots of love, and lots of apologies /gen
Another amazing character study video from you yet again. Okay, before I go into my commentary, I would just like to say that I love Gabrielle Aplin. I’ve been obsessed with her debut album ‘English Rain’ for like… ever.
Buffy and Willow are a dynamic that is so interesting because there’s such rich history there and therefore lots to talk about with them. I do feel like their showdown in ‘Two To Go’ had been a long time coming in the show given how much jealousy, resentment and ignorance Willow had towards Buffy. And we learned in ‘Restless’ that she feared Buffy just being Buffy would expose her for the fraud she believes she is. Her being the one in her nightmare to rip the cool identity off to reveal the nerdy identity underneath. In a way Willow always believed Buffy to be her downfall just because she couldn’t match up to her. Just because Buffy was somebody and she wasn’t. I’ve written in my BUFFY REWATCH recap for the episodes ‘Welcome To The Hellmouth’/‘The Harvest’ about how that very first one-on-one interaction and conversation they had in the first episode told us so much about Willow and her problematic relationship with the theme of consent. Why she ignores, disregards and even takes it away. What the root cause for her doing that is. It has a lot to do with not being asked for it herself. How the people around her just expect her to do things just because she can. Just because she makes herself available to them. And honestly Buffy is the worst for it. But it’s specifically because it’s Buffy why it’s even more bothersome for her because who would she be without Buffy? Who is she without Buffy in general? Willow is someone that places her worth and value so much in the people around her that she doesn’t really know how to function as an individual person otherwise. Which is extremely sad but it’s honestly one of the most fascinating things about her character. That she’s only ever playing a role and assuming an identity that’s not authentic to who she really is or how she feels in the moment. And you never really get to see the ‘true’ Willow because of this. Because she’s the inner circle surrounding Buffy along with Xander and Giles, everything she does or says is performative as to prove herself to them. And with Buffy especially she’s always looking for ways to be useful or valuable to her and that’s partially why she gets into magic and becomes dependent on it. Because she knows Buffy needs it and she wants to be the one that provides it because that makes her feel special.
So by the time all of what goes down in Season 6 happens - this revealing of who she truly is and how she truly feels… it feels like tremendous payoff because we were waiting for something we didn’t even know we were waiting for. Didn’t even know we wanted. And the feeling that it’s been overdue for a long fucking time because this has always been Willow’s perception of Buffy and her relationship with and to her.
Which is just another reason why I think Season 7 is the worst season. Because they don’t properly reconcile with each other over it and reconnect as best friends. They don’t talk about what went down between them. The fact they used violence on each other, the fact Willow really felt this way. It’s so inorganic and unnatural how they interact in Season 7 it’s almost disorienting. It doesn’t feel right at all. But then there’s a lot that doesn’t for me when it comes to Season 7. ☹️
FAITH VICTORIA: “I just started listening to Gabrielle Aplin and I'm really loving her songs.
Willow and Buffy in season 7 peaked in same time same place, with Buffy admitting she thought Willow was still murdering people, and giving away some strength. But then it was rarely ever addressed again. They go back to interacting as friends, which is nice but ignores the massive climactic showdown they had last season. Maybe if they had made meditation more of a regular thing they both do in order to regain balance within themselves, Willow with magic and Buffy with slayer powers, they could have continued to bond and talk about their resentment and problems in a healthy manner without interrupting the plot much. I would have been really interested to see Buffys reaction to finding out Willow wanted to turn Dawn back into the key, and Willow's response. And maybe them comparing retroactively how they both view their friendship. I mean Buffy always thought of Willow with affection, so I imagine it would be quite confusing for her to hear that Willow always thought she had something to fake.”
It wasn’t enough. I mean none of the core Scooby interactions are enough in Season 7 but they especially seem so bloody distant. And I would understand that if it was about being hesitant to pick and clean up the debree from the explosion that was their relationship in Season 6…. But it’s not. It’s just because the writers don’t want to bother with it. So them being completely okay again for the final season just like that feels extremely unearned and therefore off. They don’t sit with the emotional beats enough to make them feel satisfactory. ‘Same Time, Same Place’ should have been just the start. Instead it was really all that we got for it.
Banking through mid April chill, the Uwe Alzen Automotive’s N°2 BMW Z4 GT3 continues its success from the previous season by finishing fifth overall in the 2013 VLN1 DMV 4-Stunden-Rennen season opener.
