Buffy/Angel -- On the Subject of Closed Canon (and Love)

God, I love Angel.

I rewatched Life of the Party. I was planning on just going through to see what I needed for the vid and... ended up going out and rewatching the episode. It made me laugh and think and... happy place. Buffyverse is such a happy place for me now. Closing canon does an odd thing for me -- if I like something enough, I end up not

Buffy and I are about the same age, so I grew up with her, and have adored her since the first episode. But I fell for her, hard, in Prophecy Girl: "Giles, I'm sixteen years old. I don't want to die."
(the entire scene broke my heart, but that? that *killed* me.)

And as Buffy matured, as her life went downhill, so did mine. (though obviously not for the same reasons.)
And as each season progressed, I found it more and more easy to not only identify with her, but to *understand* her. Which is why Season 6 makes me wince; I know what that's like, what it feels like, how much better it makes you feel to be self destructive and injurious. How easy it is to push everyone away and disappear into your own darkness.

In short, I just love her. Any and every incarnation; whatever she does, whoever she does it to; she's Buffy. And I love her.

How did I never respond to this?

I'm so sorry about that. And that is just how I feel about her. I always loved her, but when Season Six happened, I finally understood her.
