Topic #187 - Revenge, Relief or Vindication - Theatrical Muse
Which is the more exquisite sensation: revenge, relief, or vindication?
Well I wont lie. I had some revenge a few times....who hasn't. One was when my mother died. I didn't want to believe it was a natural death. Because ther ehas been so many un-natural deaths that has been witnessed or ive overheard from my sister.
I wanted in a way a revenge for that. I wanted to be able to bring my mother back...no matter what the cost was. I even tried it. After going through a few needed tasks with Spike by my side.
She was at our door stop. Buffy and I turned to look at the door...but in the moment of truth...and a fight with Buffy. I ended the spell. There was a sense of relief in a way. Knowing Mom just might be in a better place, though I didn't want to believe that seeing how her best place was wherever Buffy and I were.
Like Buffy said though...I couldn't do that...not to mom.
More revenge happened when I was ontop of that god awful tower made by Sunnydale's crazies. I wanted revenge on Glory. For all the pain and suffering she was to put on me, for the people she killed, for hurting Tara. Everything. I wanted her to suffer. She got what she deserved. But a part of me, still wishes I could have been the one to do it....I wouldnt have stood much of a chance, but even to see her death, would have been revenge enough.
Then Tara's death. There was all kinds of revenge going through my head when I walked in and saw her laying there on the bedroom floor. Wanting to know who did it, what all took place, but I couldn't leave her. When I found out it was Warren...I wanted him to pay. I think Xander was with me on that. Buffy basically said revenge isnt the way, that he would get what he deserved. Slayer rules and all, Warren was human. Willow took the road to revenge and I saw what that did to her. What it did to the world basically,
The relief was much more a better feeling. When I knew Mom was safe, when Willow came back to us. When we closed to hellmouth once and for all. The feeling was that much more sensational.
