Notes:

Unfortunately a panfandom kink meme would be impossible to keep organized, since there are so many possible fandoms to choose from. But since lots of people seem to want some kind of meme: FS anon meme tomorrow?

116. http://i33.tinypic.com/2v93z2e.jpg

[dar-actually.livejournal.com]

Was she under some sort of obligation to?

[agnes-bean.livejournal.com]

She was living in her house (rent free, one would have to assume), so, yeah, kinda.

[ladycallie.livejournal.com]

I always assumed her folks had money. Didn't at least one of them have a ph.d and work as a doctor (this totally could have been a fic)? I figured her parents were off abroad and left her with a full trust fund to use as she needed.

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

I think her parents were just professors, so unless they were writing a lot really popular general interest books in the fields, it's unlikely that they were making much money.

[kaitlia777.livejournal.com]

I agree with this so hard! Willow was never my favorite character, but that outright disgusted me.

[immortality.livejournal.com]

Negl, I lol'd.

But I'm pretty sure Willow was getting money from somewhere, so. Weren't her parents pretty well off? Anyway, even if she'd paid Buffy rent, it wouldn't have been enough to pay all of the house's bills, so. If anything, Tara was probably more of a freeloader, though who knows where her money came from.

This!

[(Anonymous)]

I *never* understood why she (and Tara whilst she was there) were never called on the fact that she was living in her house presumably rent free, not helping out Buffy with the bills.

Lots of my favourite fics were ones that addressed that issue from what I remember!

[innatizzy.livejournal.com]

Huh. I never actually thought about that. And didn't she and Tara have the master suite/bedroom too?

I guess they could've been paying rent with money from parents/family or student loans or something.

[miakun.livejournal.com]

That's one thing that'll never stop bothering me about S6, why the hell weren't the others helping since they were living in her house and she was kind of busy slaying and all.

[blocpartyaddict.livejournal.com]

Me too anon, me too.

[hollydb]

Agreed. That whole subplot about money trouble never made sense to me. I get the whole "your worst enemy is yourself" metaphor and growing up means assuming responsibilities, but how the hell were she and Tara paying for stuff during the 147 days Buffy was dead? And why the hell should all of it fall on her shoulders?

...okay, so, I've thought a lot about it.

[agentak.livejournal.com]

Joyce left money behind for Buffy and Dawn which was what the Willow, Tara and Dawn were using while Buffy was dead. The account was drained dry in those few months. I think it's the third episode of season six that they tell Buffy that.

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Yeah it bothered me too. Also while I know Dawn didn't technically exist, I presume the monks altered memories beyond Sunnydale too, so shouldn't Hank have been paying child support or something? At least we expect him to be an ass though. Buffy seemed to be paying for the household entirely on her own even though there were at least two, sometimes three adults living in it.

I can understand her not *asking*, given her mental state, but when your best friend is trying to raise a teenager, run a household, hold down a job, and save the world it kind of sucks that she'd need to ask for help.

[alenxa.livejournal.com]

I remember a panel at some convention where the child support issue was brought up. "What happened? My child support doubled overnight!"

[agentak.livejournal.com]

Thaaaaaaat.... Didn't even occur to me until now. She and Tara never even offered to help. Not financially, anyway.

[doopits.livejournal.com]

I know! Me too. I never even thought about it.

[eleusis-walks.livejournal.com]

YES. And she takes JOYCE'S MASTER BEDROOM. After spending all of Joyce's life insurance premiums. And then they never get jobs to help out. Willow is the grossest.

[missing-mile-15.livejournal.com]

Willow as a character bothers me, but the whole financial subplot was one of my main problems in season 6. There are so many different ways Buffy could have scrounged up some cash without resorting to a fast-food job (which, giving the low wages you'd probably make, wouldn't really help even), even if we completely ignore that Willow and Tara are freeloaders. It just seemed like it was needed because Buffy needed to be as angsty and sad as possible.

[sagittipotens.livejournal.com]

She was a recovering addict, have some heart, and her parents may not have even known she was gay (her mom freaked when she found out about her doing magic, being "addicted" prolly wouldn't go over well). I think by offering to let her live at her house, Buffy was just doing her a massive favor.

[hako-neko.livejournal.com]

Did they make any sort of salary working in that "magic shop" later on?

[angary.livejournal.com]

First I LOLed, and then I was like :| because that is a really good point, actually. I was always focused on Buffy's troubles and thought her situation was pretty realistic, but yeah, in retrospect if the writers wanted to give her RL angst and focused on Willow's issues, they could've had Willow try to magic up some money for the house because she felt guilty about freeloading, and then Tara could've either mentioned that their parents give them enough money to pitch in and they could start scrimping a little more, OR Tara could've suggested that they get part-time jobs at the Magic Box or at the university. It would've addressed Buffy's problem, given more proof to Willow's mishandling of magic, and it would've brought up the fact that Willow and Tara were living at the house and had apparently spent all of the money Joyce left behind.

Aaand I have thought way too much about this. IICR, Giles gave Buffy some money, which I did like, but now I sorta wish the whole Willow-Tara angle had been acknowledged.

[enfeebledchi.livejournal.com]

I know!! That really bothered me too!

[lita64.livejournal.com]

THIS! It always bugged me that they never showed her (or Tara!) working at a job or paying rent money.

[looneymoon.livejournal.com]

UGH THIS BOTHERED ME SFM.

I'm surprised that a lot of people never noticed/thought about this. It was a huge thing that made me super pissed at Willow/Tara (especially Willow) during S6 :|

I mean, I like the major themes explored in season 6, but I think a lot of these little details like these were total fail. I chalk it up to lazy writing tbh.
