the concept of Dawn Summers and the person she is is so interesting to me.

i remember seeing her first appearance and thinking, "huh, Buffy has a sister? cool." and i honestly think that's what every character thought upon first meeting her -- counting in the made-up memories featuring Dawn's existence.

the fact that she was created for an actual purpose is something i sit and think about also. like think about it. in another world, could Buffy have been upset about being alive because her sister had a reason for existence but she herself didn't? while Buffy understands that she has a reason -- being the Slayer -- the later seasons show that she is going through extremely patches, particularly after The Body.

back to the topic of Dawn, her character is so perfectly articulated and crafted to fit the image of "Slayer's little sister". early-seasons Buffy, around Dawn's age, we see how she herself acted as a teen-Slayer. strong, independent, but also a smartass. take that, cut out the Slayer part, and double the level of smartass, we get Dawn Summers.

how Dawn's whole life could be created through false memories, false diary entries, false photos is such a cool concept to me. it can be freaky though like, imagine you didn't exist one day and then bam. you're a teen spawned onto the earth to be some "Key".

let's actually look at the "Key" part of her character. the reason why she actually exists. why she was brought to Earth. she hurt herself upon learning that she wasn't real, but that was in fact one of the realest reactions in the show. i think the bond her and Buffy had in that scene, Dawn's emotions and eventual realisation the fact that she's real is actually one of the most realistic things in the entire show -- which is saying a lot, considering it's literally called "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"

anyways rambling time over <3

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

2x03 - School Hard

I personally believe that Rupert Giles came to terms with the unhealthy attachment between himself and Buffy Summers throughout Once More With Feeling (S6:EP7), during the 11th song in the musical episode, 'Standing'.

Buffy's parents are divorced, and up until her mum Joyce Summers died, she lived with her and Dawn. From day one upon her and Giles meeting, Giles was the one she could talk to about anything Slayer-related until season 2, maybe even until Joyce's death in S5:EP16, 'The Body'. Buffy didn't have a father she could rely on, and as a result of this, the attachment between her and Giles only grew the more she trained with him. Even in her older years, she grew more and more dependent on him. For her 18th birthday - S3:EP12, 'Helpless' - she was put to a test, a test that could result in a second death previous to the end of season 5, and she felt betrayed that Giles hadn't warned her. The fact that Giles had seperated himself from the Watcher's Council further strengthened their bond.

Now back to 'Standing'. Giles' realisation. After Buffy assumes that Giles has taken care of something related to Dawn, her own sister, Giles realises that Buffy has grown too dependent on him. He wishes he could help her more, but knows he must take a step back, so he leaves on a retreat to break the bond down a little. Similar to the lines in which he sings during the musical number, "wish I could play the father and take you by the hand", and "wish I could slay your demons, but now that time has passed" we see that realisation in the two seperate verses, and that's when he knows Buffy needs to become independent to get over her death and her mental struggles.

Faith switching bodies with Buffy has ultimately changed how i see her

like, i used to see her as a total bitch, but when Faith saw Buffy in her body, she freaked out and started calling 'herself' a "monster". and at the end of the episode, she looked like she was seriously reflecting.

maybe Faith knows what she's doing wrong, and thinks she likes being that way because she's afraid of intimacy or getting hurt (eg. when Riley said 'i love you' Faith freaked out) because of her mother

idk, just a little rant
