When Tara and Willow got back together I thought, oh dear, adios Tara.
You weren't alone. It had to happen.
You want to meet the real me now?

This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

Hey. New board.
If there is anything I've learned from a ME show is that nobody (not even us viewers) get to be happy.
See, I was still new at this. I watched Season 5 first, then Seasons 6 and 1 simultaneously, so I hadn't seen the worst of "happy == death." Therefore, the death was a shock.
A very very painful shock.
In Angel, though, when Fred and Wesley got together, I knew that was a bad sign Oh man did I ever.
(not sure that needed to be white-fonted, but it is a Buffy thread, and this is pretty recent Angel gossip. Better safe than sorry.)

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre
Slightly weird identification moment - Oz Larry conversation. 'You've really mastered the single entendre.' I just have this whole theory about what's going on behind the deadpan, based mostly on that.
And I identify strongly with Buffy almost all the way through(up until halfway through season 6). I don't know why though, we have virtually nothing in common.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I really identified with Tara when Buffy was confiding in her about Spike, and you could see her praying to the Goddess to let her say the right thing, please let her help her friend in need. I've been there, when someone you love desparately needs your love and support and all you want to do is make it better.

"Very occasionally, if you really pay attention, life doesn't suck." -Joss Whedon
A very very painful shock.
Somewhere, Joss Whedon is a total state of "SQUEE!" He is truly evil and that's the way I like it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Tara was my girl, and the one whose value system I most identified with.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Tara was great.
I most identified with Willow during New Moon Rising. They captured that scenario really well.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I identified with Buffy in "Lie to Me"--the my God, could you have a dorkier outfit? line, because I have thought that many a time at a gothy club. Plus Buffy & Giles' exchange at the end, because there are times when I want to be told a comforting fiction, even if I know in my heart it's not true.

Hey. New board.
I guess I'm boring. I identify with Willow in the high school years. Shy, smart, and painfully cute.
Okay, maybe not painfully cute. But, y'know, shy, smart, nerdy.
Plus, like Willow, I really grew in my junior and senior years. Blossomed, even. Especially senior year. I guess making good friends was my "magic."

My biggest moment of identification was Willow crying in the bathroom after finding out about Xander sleeping with Faith. *sigh* Every unrequited crush I ever had was suddenly painful to remember all over again.
After S3, I mostly identified with Anya as the funny outsider who some people find too honest.
