It's not like Buffy was 12, sheesh. Mid to late "teens" (because even though 18/19 are still technically "teen" years, they're also widely considered young adult years, too) is not unreasonable for a relationship of that magnitude. You know, minus the soul-losing, fish-killing psychomania parts.

I don't know, I'm in my late twenties and I can't stand most teenagers. There is a whole lot of maturing done in late teens and twenties, and I can't imagine being 150 years old and thinking those kinds of issues/attitudes/maturity attractive.

And I can't help but think that if the actor playing Angel was older than he was at the time, that people would have more of a problem with it.

But Buffy was like, fifteen.

She was 17. Younger than I was the first time. *shrug*

[identity profile] badalice.livejournal.com 2011-03-26 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
er, older*
Can't edit, my b. :o

I just remember Buffy always having awful birthdays, so the one with Angelus was one she turned 18? I thought it was 16.

[identity profile] badalice.livejournal.com 2011-03-26 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, she turned 17. :) Her 18th birthday was the Cruciamentum from the Council, which lead to Giles' getting fired.

Thanks for the clarification. :)

And it's not being sexually active at her age that I find suspect, it's his age as her choice of partner.

[identity profile] badalice.livejournal.com 2011-03-26 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
No prob!

And I do agree with you, even when I rewatch the series (and still love them together), it's kind of like "...wat?"
