Scary Willow is scary. I wish I could trust her to be the Guardian, but it's hard. Maybe being a literal part of something bigger than herself will give her perspective, but I have my doubts.

You gave me the gift of 'normal' without a second thought.

Angry Willow doesn't like being unspecial. It's just that special, powerful Willow can go off the rails so easily. Special, powerful Slayer!Buffy usually keeps her equilibrium and perspective. Still, she keep forgiving her powerful friends that don't, which is a blind spot out of which things keep coming to bite her.

No more, I guess. *sigh* I hope this plan goes better than the past ones. At least she's making up her own mind, this time.

Here's hoping for Willow too. I think being subsumed by the Guardian role will even out some of her individualistic need to be special.

Buffy is the most forgiving character in the world, and indeed, it is lucky for everybody else. I don't know about her plan either, but... her life is of the major suck atm. :(
