#they voted Buffy 'class protector' and the next episode they all laid down their lives

[dragons-and-yellow-roses]

Why yes, I am crying about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 3 finale, thank you for asking.

#spoilers ahead of course #okay the battle. the battle at the end. oh my god #first of all seeing students dying was haunting. obviously students die all the damn time in this show #but now they were people we had gotten to know a bit. Harmony. that one gay guy. seeing them die in battle #especially after the part of the mayor's speech about grief. that hit hard #xander being 'the key guy' was *chef's kiss* magnificent #especially because in so many episodes he's been considered the weakest one #like that one episode when they literally kept everything from him because they considered him more of a liability than a help #and now he got to have this big important part and he was amazing #I'm so proud of him #they voted Buffy 'class protector' and the next episode they all laid down their lives #they all became protectors. and some of them died for it. but they still charged headfirst to try and save the world #goddamnit it was so good... it was so. good #the mayor was a really good dad to faith. i wish he hadnt decided to become a demon #i would watch a whole show about faith and the mayor. his love for her is so good. so clear and obvious in the way he treats her and acts #he's not just using her for her slayer powers. he legitimately loves her so much. and she needed that #they were perfect for each other. fuck they were perfect for each other #i was crying through the whole damn thing. it was so. moving. so good. im feeling so many things
