Wait, where did it imply that Joyce's brain tumor was caused by the modified memories? I never got that from any scene. I honestly have no idea what you are referring to.

[silverr]

Yeah, that sounds like fanon to me. A LOT of people's memories were modified.

[(Anonymous)]

Whew. I thought I was going crazy there because I didn't remember that at all!

AYRT - With the AU of Dawn's existence, basically. It's not really official canon, just speculation.

[philstar22]

It isn't speculation I've heard before. From anyone. Is this just your personal speculation, or is this a popular fan theory?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT - I've seen it around, I thought it was popular...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a different anon. I heard this theory kicking around while the show was still on.

[(Anonymous)]

It was an implication, a theory floating around some circles after s5. Not confirmed in canon.

My own theory is that it just happened, like these things do.

[lunabee34]

Me either. And Buffy was my entry fandom.

On the one hand, that doesn't make sense as a theory because it should mean that everyone whose memories were modified would eventually become sick in some way.

On the other, I like the idea as a fic possibility; very angsty.

Watching it at the time, with the reveal that Dawn wasn't human and that everyone's memories of her were fake, I thought there was a very strong implication that Joyce's tumor was a result of the false memories. Willow, Xander, and Giles only would have had 4 years' worth of fake memories; Tara, Anya, and Spike, even fewer (Spike was around in S1, but disappeared frequently). Buffy would have had the same 14 years of implanted memories of Dawn as Joyce did, but kids' memories are different from adults' memories, plus Joyce would have spent more time with Dawn than Buffy did, and oh yeah, Buffy's the Slayer with super-healing.

Even my husband, who'd never seen the show before, as we're watching it now, asked if the fake memories of Dawn had caused Joyce's tumor.

[(Anonymous)]

... yeah, not seeing it.
