Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I was hoping I wasn't trivializing it, but it felt the same.


I think that's what you mean, and yeah, that is how people treat Buffy - in canon, and often outside of canon. She can seem impenetrable, but just because she works differently, that doesn't mean she doesn't work.

Yeah, exactly.

I thought of you while I was typing this up! That you've figured out what you need and that it's very different than what a lot of people need but that's okay. Just never date a Riley! ;D


Buffy keeps people safe by keeping them at a distance. Have people written any meta comparing Who Are You? and Dead Things? Hmm.

I don't know! But that would be such an interesting read!
