Dead Man's Party
Post Body

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this before but now I'm genuinely so curious about something that Xander said.

Prior to the party, which I notice the majority of posts are about, when they have the zombie cat in the library. Xander says "so Buffy did you meet any nice pimps on your travels? And by the by, thanks for ruining our lives for the last 3 months"

Maybe it's just me, but I instantly thought "Jesus Christ. A bit dramatic ya turd" It was 3 months she's been doing the slayer gig for years now. Sacrificing a normal social life, having to be closed off to others(she's not even supposed to have a "Scooby gang") , physical, mental, and emotional trauma, and god knows what else.

But you guys have to patrol for 3 months while all still having your loved ones, obviously with the exception of Buffy and knowing where she is, and you think your lives were ruined. She comes back, Angel is no where to be found, and you can't seem to think about your "best friend" and how painful it must have been to kill your significant other (evil or not at the time of death) and then the fact that Cordelia is the one to kind of understand and be the voice of? Reason? Lol I don't know how to say it but I assume you get what I'm trying to say. Damn.

Obviously stuff happens off screen, but I've been thinking. What else could have possibly changed that "ruined" their lives?

Lol seems so ridiculous. Aye yai yai.

Xander haters keep dropping a reply and then blocking me before I can retort.

Sounds about right. Xander haters have built their stories on fake narratives:

End of days" - S07E21)

Buffy:

"You're my strength, Xander. You're the reason I made it this far. I trust you with my life."

Buffy left her family and friends in the lurch for one quarter of a year. She didn't call. She didn't write. Nothing.

For all her Mum knew she could've been dead.

There Is a Hellmouth in Sunnydale. The mystify energy didn't vanish just because Buffy did.

Giles knows what he's doing. If he thought that they didn't have to patrol and continue Buffy's then he would've stepped in and told them to keep out of harm's way. They had to.

I have no idea why people think Buffy is the victim here. She vanished and left her family, friends, and Watcher to do her duty.

As far as I'm concerned, Buffy got let off lightly.

Xander, Buffy, and Willow were great friends to one another. For some reason, a certain bunch of fans want to make it a divisive issue and create a hatred towards certain characters.

Well, thank you for such a mature and intelligent response.

And I concur. I love the main characters, too. Can't really fathom people who literally hate and despise some of the main characters.

She made a mistake by running off. She opened that by admitted. Much in the same way that Joyce admitted she made a mistake by telling Buffy not to return home.

I know. The only thing we know is that there's another hellmouth in Cleveland. I suspect they are very rare.

Thanks for the measured response. There are so many reactionary fans in this sub and fans who are so precious.

You received an upvote from me.

Xander was particularly problematic

What, because he peaked on Buffy dressing that one time?

Jesus. Some BtVs fans are gentle beings.
