Hello all, I have come once again to talk about Giles, more specifically this scene and Anthony& #39;s acting here...

Okay so, FIRST. This little bit right here: when she says his name and he just, stops, and looks and listens. The subtle change in his expression -
as if he& #39;s slightly regretting what he& #39;d said, at seeing her response. And he keeps looking right at her.
(side note: I don& #39;t expect anyone at all to care about this, I just really need to get it out https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">) -
And then she confesses she loves him, and THIS LOOK. It& #39;s all in his eyes, and there& #39;s so much there.
If you look, you can actually see him completely stop breathing after she says it.
I& #39;m just in love with these small details because it& #39;s so good, and it& #39;s so Giles. -
Here, the softness in his voice when he says "do you want to?" the small step towards her, the wet eyes!!
And just how he& #39;s carrying himself here, he slightly softens but he& #39;s still standing stiff and slightly held back...
"I understand, but I& #39;m not the one you need to make it up to." I LOVE this line from him. Still looking after/thinking of Buffy in this moment. I love the way he handles this, he will always look after Buffy first.
And then he simply leaves. As much as I wanted them to just kiss-
and get back to normal and be happy in this moment, I love that he doesn& #39;t kiss her.
It& #39;s something you& #39;d expect to happen in a tv show or movie after a love confession, and it doesn& #39;t here, and for some reason I just love that?? It leaves you wanting more. And yeah, -
unfortunately she gets horribly killed off after this in the same episode, but they couldn& #39;t have known that and it somehow makes this scene 100x more powerful to me and 100000x more heartbreaking later...
ANYWAY, I& #39;ve been thinking about this for a few days and I needed to share https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> of you read through all this, thanks lmao
