Buffy meme: Days 7-9
Oct. 12th, 2010 01:07 amYeah, so I'm already kinda tired of this meme so I'm gonna start doing a couple days at once. Also I skipped a few...
Day 7: Least Favorite Male Character
For the sake of this meme, I'm not considering villains really, or else I'd have to say that my least favorite male character was either Caleb or Warren, but they're supposed to be despicable so that's kind of besides the point. Same with Rack. No, I'm going to go with Andrew. Oh sure, he's entertaining and I enjoyed "Storyteller" quite a bit, but it's also kind of the Faith effect--if fandom worships a character that I feel sort of ambiguous about, I'm that much more likely to dislike them. Talk about serial contrarians. Anyway, I like Faith a lot more than I like Andrew, as he may be funny but he's also whiny, shallow, and immature, and in season 7 everyone's sort of quick to gloss over the fact that he A) almost raped a woman, B) contributed to her death, and C) murdered his only friend. Yeah, real funny guy. And sure, lots of other characters have done bad things on this show, but I liked them better in the first place, so...sorry Andrew. You're alright, but just not that great.
Day 8: Favorite Friendship
Willow/Buffy! Oh my gosh, I love them. They are my friendshipspiration (I'm sorry, but I had to do it). And not just mine. I remember when I was 13, my friend's mother died and I didn't really know what to do. My mother told me to ask myself, "What would Willow do?" But theirs was also a two-way street. So yeah, friendshipspiration.
Day 9: Favorite Romance
Willow/Tara! Willow is doing well today (no surprise). I love Willow/Oz and Buffy/Angel too, but they don't really compare to my deep affection for Willow and Tara. Some of it may be that I identified with these two characters more than any other, but a lot of it is just the loving, supportive nature of their relationship (er, sort of). I had this whole treatise on W/T versus W/O once upon a time but I don't really remember it now. I think the gist of it, though, was that Willow and Tara both grew and evolved separately and together throughout the course of their relationship, so that when they reunited in season 6 (*sob*) it was as equals.
