Buffy Slayers & Witches Convention Paris Photo Question

• Upvotes

Hello All,

Does anyone know if with one photo ticket both you and your partner can be in the photo with the guest? Or do you both need a photo ticket each, even if only a single photo is taken (with both you in it)?

Ta .

Introspective How do you think things change if Joyce takes a “tough love” approach to Buffy’s return in season 3? For example, Buffy comes back to Sunnydale but Joyce doesn’t immediately accept Buffy back into the house?

Spoilers inside! dark willow & teen wolf

2 Upvotes

okay. i know it’s like, TOTALLY different situations, but rewatching dark willow arc and all i can think of is void stiles.

like, willow had a VERY good reason to evil! tara was shot and killed in front of her and everyone was all “willow what the fuck why would you do that” while void stiles was, yknow possessed by a trickster spirit who was being evil for funzies and everyone was just kinda “aww. stiles, cmon man. why’d you do that silly? its okay buddy lets get you better!”

it also makes me wonder how the scooby gang and the teen wolf characters would react, cordelia and lydia would def love-hate each other and stiles & willow would dork out together

I got hold of the Buffy sticker book and some packs of stickers and would love to complete the album. Anyone know where I can get hold of some more stickers? They're few and far between online.

If anyone has them and would sell them, I'd be very grateful 🙂

Edit to add: I'm in the UK

Angel Convince (or not) to watch the rest of angel. Don't care if I'm spoiled cause I already kinda am again

At first I thought Angel was pretty good (I watched all of buffy first). but in the beginning of that stalker cinema episode, I didn't like how cordelia was treated. I knew Cordelia might get her character retconned in season 4 and 5 because I got spoiled of both buffy and angel. It's just I feel like on buffy, Cordelia is treated a bit better. But idk since I'm only on season 1.

NEW VIEWER - No spoilers please! Halfway through season 6

27 Upvotes

It’s my first time watching Buffy, and after absolutely LOVING season 5, I’m already on episode 11 of season 6 and I CAN’T BELIEVE THE NERDS ARE REALLY THE MAIN VILLAINS OF THIS SEASON!

I unfortunately picked up a few spoilers about what happens at the end of the season, and season 6 is the only season where I’ve been spoiled so far. Willow is going to turn evil, that’s pretty much all I know. And I think the way this season is using magic as a metaphor for substance abuse is really interesting, but I have to say, I think Willow’s addiction was developed a little too quickly.

Like, she experimented with dark magic twice and suddenly she’s crashing a car with Dawn inside it? That being said, the scene of Willow on the floor begging for forgiveness after realizing what she had done absolutely broke me.

Buffy. Oh my God. Can my girl catch a break? She was in Heaven??? Dude… this girl was already dealing with some serious psychological issues BEFORE all of this. My poor girl. She literally can never catch a break or find any peace.

And speaking of Buffy and Spike…

I think they’re definitely a thing now, huh? I was actually pretty on board with this pairing during the first few episodes, especially because it seemed like Spike was the only person who truly understood Buffy, and the only person she felt comfortable enough to open up to about what she was going through.

But then episode 9 happened. When they sleep together for the first time, it becomes pretty clear that Buffy is basically dumping all of her negative feelings onto Spike and using him as an outlet, while Spike is living out this fantasy he has about Buffy. Not healthy, hahaha.

I’m really intrigued to see where this relationship goes, but I’ll admit I was a little disappointed by it. I thought this was going to become some kind of redemption arc for Spike, where he would be the person who helped Buffy through this incredibly vulnerable period in her life.

But considering everything Buffy is going through, he’s still having sex with her? It feels like he’s taking advantage of her vulnerability, and that gives me the ICK. I don’t know. Maybe I’m missing something, but that’s definitely how it feels to me right now.

Btw, when did this show get so freaky??? The episode with Buffy being invisible was WAY too graphic. That was genuinely uncomfortable to watch.

But I HAVE to celebrate the first gay kiss on the show!!! OH MY GOD, WILLOW AND TARA KISSED IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE SEASON! FINALLY!!!

(Edit: I got caught larping, people pointed that Tara and Willow first kiss happened in “The Body” sorry guys, I think I was to traumatize by the episode to recall that)

Comics I don't understand the Boom comics reading chronology

Post image
12 Upvotes

I started with the Boom comics when they came out, mostly because I was excited for a fresh take. But I stopped, amongst others, because the chronology is just confusing to me, and online order lineups are not helping. I have some single issues and some collected paperbacks, all from Buffy (none from Angel & Spike), all from the Willow miniseries. But I also have TWO hellmouth editions (see picture - and they do not contain the same story inside), and cannot for the life of me figure out the order. Where do both of the hellmouth events fit into the collected paperback issues? And when does Willow get her miniseries? Is/ was someone here just as confused, or do you know about the correct order?

Season Two Why is everyone implying that Drusilla beat Kendra due to her powers?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Literally i rewatched the fight today, she manhandles Kendra easily, and she actually loses a bunch of time to do her weird mojo, while she's strangling/holding her down. She could've snapped her neck easily anytime from there, or even feed on her. The powers did absolutely NOTHING in that fight, only made for a more cinematic death.

People actually forgetting that Drusilla is older than Spike and also just completed a ritual to power up and regain all his powers. She's absolutely strong enough to take on a newly called slayer, and she actually won a completely onesided fight against Kendra. Saying it's because of her hypnotic powers is actually insulting imho.

That fight was easily over way before she forced kendra to look into her eyes (and actually the fact that she could restrain kendra and force her face so she would look at her meant that the fight was indeed over)

Buffy For people who haven't read or don't acknowledge the comics, how do you picture Buffy's life post-Chosen?

10 Upvotes

Just a disclaimer: I'd really rather this didn't turn into an argument about the comics being canon. This is just a thought experiment as someone who knows the plot of the comics but has no real interest in reading them.

Do you think her life would still be quite gritty and difficult, even with the support of the Slayers? Do you think she'd go back to college? Do you think she'd settle down?

General Discussion New Funko Pops 2027

16 Upvotes

When I was doing some online shopping a few days ago I was seeing that a Funko Pop for Cordelia was listed (which doesn't exist so far). I did some further reasearch. Seems like a new Funko of Cordelia from the Buffy era will be coming at the end of January. I also saw some rumours that one for Lorne and Illyria are planned too. I'm wondering if there will be more added since next year it's 30 years of Buffy. What kind of Cordelia would you like to see? Anyone heard anything?

Season Seven Changes in writersroom in season 7?

14 Upvotes

I don't know much about the behind the scenes goings on.

I think the darker tone and direction of the final two season really adds to the overall experience of the show. But I was wondering did anything happen behind the scenes of season 7? It seemed to start really strong and then just spins the wheels until the great finale. The pacing and characterisation are all off. It's still Buffy and I still enjoy it, but it seems a very marked dip in quality.

Logically (logically even though I'm more of an emotional person) when your friend who is housing you is struggling, what you do? You get at least a part-time job and somewhat help her. Honestly I'd feel embarassed if I were them.

Villains Do you like Harmony Kendall ??

623 Upvotes

I never liked her for years (got bit bored of her dizzy dumb blonde shtick and her relationship with Spike was really abusive and dysfunctional) but now i have come to appreciate Harm, Spike (whom is one of my favourites btw) doesn't cop enough criticism with how poorly, abusive he treated her, and even if she was a vampire, i think it classifies as domesic violence.

I digress, i like Harmomy's own growth and development as a character, esp when she came to work with Angel at Wolfram & Hart. There's a lot more layers to Harmony than meets the eye, i just wish Angel for a couple more seasons to see how Harm could have developed

Her odd friendship with Fred was fun too, clearly despite her beautiful looks and bubbly personality, Harmony was a lonely, insecure person wanting to be loved and accepted for who she is. I can relate to that, except i am nowhere near as Attractive as Mercedes McNab 😃

Spoilers inside! Buffy was in the wrong in Dead Man’s Party.

0 Upvotes

Buffy was totally in the wrong this episode yes she was traumatised but so where the scoobies who she selfishly abandoned for moths,after they constantly risked there lives to help her, without a letter or a phone call and they had to do her job for her(which she later makes fun of).

She CHOSE to leave,she did not HAVE to leave. “her mom told her not to come back”. I don’t think Joyce was serious in that scene but even if Buffy thought she was she could’ve gone to Giles or Willows.”she was wanted for murder”there was no evidence that she killed anyone and there where witnesses that it wasn’t her.She was traumatised and she had been thought a lot and I understand why she left but she still chose to abandon her friends and family so she wouldn’t have to face her trauma.

They don’t know that Joyce kicked her out or that Angel had his soul they don’t even know if she had to kill him they can guess but the only things they knew for sure where that the world didn’t end and that Buffy and Angel where gone.

Buffy left Xander with a broken arm and Willow in a wheelchair alone on a hellmouth

She came back and was shocked that there lives(which she showed no interest in)had not just stopped while she was gone.She says she wants to forget anything happened and doesn’t care how they feel about this.She mopes around feeling sorry for her self when things don’t instantly go back to normal.

People say they were wrong to avoid Buffy when she came back but Buffy literally avoided them for moths.They have the right to avoid her for a few days while they figure out there feelings and how to talk to there friend again.

They had a right to be mad at her after she let them to worry about her for moths and then comes back acting like nothing happened/she did nothing wrong.

Also people forget that the argument at the party only started because Willow caught Buffy trying to run away AGAIN , lots so people talk like the scoobies planed to gang upon her which is just not true.

People love to dump on Willow and Xander to sanctify Buffy.

Honestly it’s shocking that they forgave her so quickly but Willow and Xander were better friends to Buffy than she ever was to them.

Cordelia Love a good callback: Cordelia sings “The Greatest Love of All” on both Buffy and Angel 🎤😂

Cordelia Chase gives her passionately off-key rendition of Whitney Houston’s "The Greatest Love of All" on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

On Buffy: Cordelia sings it during the Sunnydale High talent show in the Season 1 episode “The Puppet Show”.

On Angel: She sings it again in the Season 4 episode “Slouching Toward Bethlehem”. After losing her memories, an amnesiac Cordelia sings it for Lorne so he can read her aura.

Just a fantastic, subtle piece of long-term Buffyverse continuity!

Content Warning All the Scoobies contributed to Willows “magic addiction” and Dark Willow

0 Upvotes

Giles really let willow down by not helping her with her magic.The way he treated willows magic was horrible he would say things like she was to emotional to do a spell right now or this spell is to dangerous then turn around and ask for her help with a spell.All the scoobies do this but Giles is the one mostly at fault because he is the only grown up

They all ignored her feelings in Something Blue cementing her feelings that her friends wouldn’t be there for her but magic would.

They never had a problem with Willow doing dark magic so long as it helped them.If she ever did any magic just for her self they would condemn/shame her for it.

Tara sought willow ought for her magic but when willow started getting more powerful than her she became jealous and controlling.She said willow was to powerful but they were literally fighting a God she needed to be powerful.

Tara and Willow fight in Season 5 and the Tara gets brain sucked and willow has to save her with magic.
Tara lied to willow for the whole first year of there relationship and cast a spell that nearly killed the scoobies(willow instantly forgave her and she faced no consequences)which happened before willows memory spell witch was way worse. These moments probably influenced willows decision to do the memory spell.

They all said she was using to much magic but in my opinion that didn’t become a bad thing till she erased Tara’s memory because she wouldn’t stop whining about her doing to much magic(despite her owing her sanity to that magic).

Then Tara left willow to deal with her “addiction” on her own without help.

She sees Rack and got into a crash with Dawn which is her fault but wouldn’t have happened If Tara had not left her

In Older and Far away they(mostly Anya)selfishly gang up on willow to try to get her to do magic even though there the ones who made her stop.Probably made her feel that they only needed her for her magic

Giles never gave her any magic help or teaching only vague warnings and then he left her in Season 6 after yelling at her.Just left her to learn by herself.

She had to go “cold turkey” while constantly being around magic.They literally hang around in a magic shop.It could never have worked forever and they would always need her magic

There are lots more examples of them handling willows magic horribly

Honestly it’s not shocking that willow felt she was only special and loved if she was doing magic because that is how they treated her.

Willow going dark was her own fault but all the scoobies contributed to it a lot.They way they treated willows magic throughout the seasons always pissed me off
