Yep. Yes. Totally. Agreed. You're right on, and I want to subscribe to your newsletter.

I loved that line from Anya.

I always wondered how she was living after becoming human but before Giles gives her a job. She mentions being "stuck in this persona" and almost running out of money, so her magic persona included at least some money and a place to live?

Yes. My faves.

I'm not familiar with the other two but yes, this is a character type I like too.

I would probably agree but River effing Tam ruined that archetype for me.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-21 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she's kind of what happens when you push that archetype to such an extreme that it ends up breaking in half.

But it doesn't affect how I think about other characters of the type...

ANYA!!!
She was so awesome. Loved her *so much* - it always annoyed me how short everyone was with her, even the man who 'loved' her. Just - really?

Anya was the best.

How terrible to be so rude and have people point it out? And one ep makes it clear that she was like that as a human, so... how about she learn some manners and listen to feedback?

/fed up with the "poor Anya, she was so great" brigade. Crossover with the "poor Spike" (another woobiefied asshole) brigade closely correlated.

Whaaaaaaaaa.

Anya was awesome, deal and move on.

I'm sick of the 'Willow was amazing' brigade, but I don't go around telling them that.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-22 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Waaaa! Someone disagrees with your opinions. Deal, and move on.

Willow being an asshole has been common knowledge for decades. Crawl out of 1998 and look for a new reason to be defensive over poor asshole Anya not getting enough love.

Ooooh, touch a nerve? You don't like Anya, we must all bow?
Fuck off.

Funny to see this secret after the recent announcement of the BtVS reboot.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-22 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Oh, dear, oh dear no. Leave it in the 90s where it belongs.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-22 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean...I liked Anya, but generally, I hate this character type, because it just comes across as "she's super-amazing and special but has ~quirky flaws~ to seem relatable." Simultaneously "not like other girls" and "girl next door" and so a very dated faux-feminist way to write female characters, at least as a defining personality trait so...it usually does nothing for me.

i don't know if max falls into that category but i still have to commend you for your taste and express excitement that anyone else remembers and loves this show.
