Buffy the Vampire Slayer  |  3x02 - “Dead Man’s Party”

❤/ “Vengeance is what I do, Halfrek. I don’t need anything else. Vengeance is what I am.”

Every season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer → Season Six I was happy. Wherever I was… I was happy. At peace. I knew that everyone I cared about was all right. I knew it. Time didn’t mean anything. Nothing had form, but I was still me, you know? And I was warm. And I was loved. And I was finished. Complete. I don’t understand theology or dimensions, any of it really. But I think I was in heaven. And now I’m not. I was torn out of there, pulled out.. by my friends. Everything here is hard and bright and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch.. This is hell. Just getting through the next moment, and the one after that.. knowing what I’ve lost.

Honestly, this was probably Buffy’s healthiest relationship.

There’s a LOT to unpack about this ep, this scene, this relationship, but I wanna talk about how this world was filmed.

I remember distinctly reading that they used a different kind of camera for this episode, and that as a result Sarah/Michelle/Emma/Alyson all looked gaunt and drawn, especially in the wide shots, whereas Amber, who was always a little more average in weight looked healthy.

Because of this, the wide shot of them sitting there is incredibly haunting. Because Sarah, whose always been shown as physical and strong on the show, looks really weak and I think they said it was purposeful? But it’s effective.

#literally the most important scene in television history??#literally changed my life????#but it's fine????

Can’t even shout. Can’t even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by.

make me choose:  faith/buffy or faith/willow (for @padmaspatil)

female awesome meme ▽ (1/10) female dynamics - buffy & faith

Deep down, you always wanted Buffy to accept you, to love you even. Why do you think that is?
