for those just tuning into my life, my mom sucks so i never watched buffy

and thats changing today

first off that opening is SO 1990’s drama i love it

oh sweetie. when a boy says something is a great idea, it really isnt

told ya. boys suck

THE THEME SONG OMG

GOD this was like every live action 90s show that wasnt a sitcom

those practical and makeup fx would have scared me as a ten year old so really glad im watching this 23 years later

yall really wanted me to watch this, huh

im... im getting mixed signals from mr flutie here

ALSO DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I CRINGED WHEN THE FIRST SHOT OF SCHOOL KIDS OPENED UP OH MY GOD

i may not have been in public school for long in the 90s but i definitely remember watching loads of tv and wanting clothes and stuff just like them

got sidetracked with work drama but anyway

i love dude with the stereotypical 90s cool dude hair. he's me around girls too XD

ALYSON HANNIGAN, LOML

idk if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that my mom wouldnt let me watch buffy considering im 10000% certain i would have realized i liked girls way sooner if i did

wow the early 2000s was full of young hero folk wanting to be normal and failing spectacularly at it

"it's not like i have fluffy bunny feelings for vampires or anything" listen i know i'm 20 odd years late but isn't her love interest on this show at some point a vampire? because LMAO

ok one episode down and

willow: *finding out demons and vampires are real*... i think i need to sit down
buffy: you are
willow: oh good for me

i'm just really glad alyson went on to do a sitcom because she is hilarious

the principal weirds me out

also reminds me of the vice principal at my high school. kids made fun of him behind his back

i have no words really i'm just enjoying knowing that so many badass women in my life had this show as an influence

seen here: me vs standom twitter

"i can hear everything now!" yeah unfortunately me too. those fake teeth are killer on the ears

im officially Old. my concern was why the kids were all out late on school night

"id say giles should get a girlfriend if he wasn't so old" he's 42 at the start of the series

side note: uh wut

oh my god im definitely old. buffy is giving her single mom Teen Angst because her mom is busy working and im like “HEY YOUR MOM IS JUST ONE PERSON, YA KNOW”

oh god witches

BUFFY IS SINGING MACHO MAN

OH MY GOD NINETIES WHY

SO MANY NINETIES REFERENCES

OUCH

I KNEW IT WAS THE MOM. i know a controlling jealous asshole a mile away

that slap/punch sound fx are ridic omg

"how dare you! i gave birth to you!" oof that's my mom written all over that line

this is def xandar's dream lmao

"don't be sorry, be smart." omg i love this teacher which means he's going to die is-- yep there it is

oh god those vocals.... im reliving my teenage angst years oh man oh no

im just so shocked she's the queer character

the praying mantis plot is just too predictable but i can't hate it honestly because it's still enjoyable

everyone @ tfw

what being supportive emotionally looks like during lockdown

also blayne mall sounds like the shifty owner of a store that murdered someone in an ace attorney game

hahahahaha no this female teacher-shaped creature seducing male students plot isnt grossing me out at all WHY DO YOU ASK

if this were to happen today, buffy and willow would have had issues about xandar being alone with ms french WAY before finding out she was a bug and not just a “haha oh you” attitude

im interrupting this thread because this needs to go here https://twitter.com/accioawesome/status/1226710376710115328?s=21
